Not being an IP phone guru by any definition of the word, does anyone know whether the Cisco CP-7940 Unified IP Phone will work in conjunction with FreePBX running on a Raspberry Pi? I see the term SIP, but don't really know if the Cisco 7940 fits into that niche. Thanks in advance for any advice. Steve G./N4TTY |

Thanks Jim! Guess I missed the 'model' number of the phone when I watched your video to get my PBX running. Now I just need to find the 'SIP' firmware and the 'how to' to flash the phones.

No problem. It should be up soon. I'm finishing the editing as I type this reply. When done, there will be a link posted with the firmware and configuration files as well.
Are your phones already running SIP or are they still on the default SCCY Cisco Firmware? |

Don't have the phones yet, but thinking of buying 4 of them at what I consider a fair price. They have the standard Cisco Firmware [the vendor reports 8.1(2.0)], if that sounds familiar. Think they might be re-programmable using your process? If so maybe I should go ahead and get them on the way. |

And my apologies for calling you Jim, Paul! The gray matter had the suffix of your call stick as your first name.

Sounds like they already have SIP loaded on them. So it'd just be a matter of configuring them by following a 10-minute video.
If they don't, you will have to install a TFTP server on one of the nodes, set the tftpboot path to the /tmp directory, upload the firmware files to the /tmp directory, and plug that phone into the TFTP server node so it can grab the needed files.
As for Jim or Paul...I've gotten to the point to where I go by both so all is good. |

Can you point us to the document? I haven't found it on my own, or maybe it isn't there yet. |
