Cisco Systems IP phone 7960 manual Before You Begin, Procedure

Chapter 2 Getting Started with Your Cisco SIP IP Phone

Installing the Cisco SIP IP Phone

By maintaining these parameters in the default configuration file, you can perform global changes, such as upgrading the image version, without having to modify the phone-specific configuration file for each phone.

Before You Begin

•Ensure that you have downloaded the SIPDefault.cnf file from CCO to the root directory of your TFTP server.

•Review the guidelines and restrictions documented in the “Configuration File Guidelines” section on page 2-6.

•For a complete list of the SIP parameters that you can configure, see the “Modifying the Phone’s SIP Settings” section on page 3-5.

Procedure

Step 1 Using an ASCII editor, open the SIPDefault.cnf file and define values for the following SIP global parameters:

•image_version—(Required) Firmware version that the Cisco SIP IP phone should run.

Enter the name of the image version (as it is released by Cisco). Do not enter the extension. You cannot change the image version by changing the file name because the version is also built into the file header. Trying to change the image version by changing the file name will cause the firmware to fail when it compares the version in the header against the file name.

•proxy1_address—(Required) IP address of the primary SIP proxy server that will be used by the phones. Enter this address in IP dotted-decimal notation.

•tftp_cfg_dir—(Required if phone-specific configuration files are located in a subdirectory) Path to the TFTP subdirectory in which phone-specific configuration files are stored.

Step 2 Save the file with the same file name, SIPDefault.cnf, to the root directory of your TFTP server.
