>From the file, it is unclear what "Error Verifying Config Info" means, but the tell-tale section is here : (save to local and then open for easier read) So, I try to check the Error Trace File of IP Communicator, which I put up here : I am concerned why there is the line "Error Verifying Config Info" and also that long "TFTP Error : SK5." line, which I don't understand. So on the phone (IP Communicator), I got to Settings -> Status -> Status Message and this is what I see : Username Secret Accountcode Def.Context ACL NAT 555 555 from-internal No Always

Name/username Host Dyn Nat ACL Port Status 555 (Unspecified) D N 0 UNKNOWN 1 sip peers I go to the Asterisk command line and typed "show sip peers" and I see : The phone shows what you see in this screenshot : (Note, that contains the MAC address for the IP Communicator software) I go ahead and set the Alternate TFTP server IP addresses to that of the Asterisk server, and rebooted the phone. Since I am not sure if everything will work right away, I decided to the Cisco 7970 softphone emulator(newest Cisco IP Communicator software) on my computer to try it out first before actually using a real hard phone. So, now, it is time to register the 7970 phone. To test if the TFTP server works, I tried to grab files using the Windows DOS tftp client command and it works.

I have gone on to set up a TFTP server daemon on the Ubuntu server and have dumped the above three XML files as well as all the firmware files into the TFTP folder. I have also built the three necessary XML files needed to configure this particular 7970 phone, and they are here : So I was able to get hold of the most up-to-date SIP firmware for the 7970 from the Cisco web site, namely version SIP70.8-3-3SR2S. I did exactly as shown, and used the extension 555 in FreePBX for this new SIP device. Then, I went through the video tutorial at AsteriskTutorials on how to register a 7970 with FreePBX at : I have been basically following the instructions to set up the Ubuntu machine on these two FreePBX walkthrough web sites : Let me start off telling you where I am stuck right now and then describe how I got to this point.īasically, I have a brand new Cisco 7970 IP Phone and am trying to register it with an Ubuntu Server 7.10 running the newest stable Asterisk(1.4) and FreePBX(2.3.1).
