I have had no end of trouble trying to find ways to upgrade some CISCO IP phones from SCCP (Skinny) to SIP. The biggest problem I found was trying to find information. Here I list what I did to upgrade some CISCO IP Phones from SKINNY to SIP.


Prerequisite

DHCP

You network must be using option 66 for DHCP, which points to a TFTP server, either using IP or FQDN.

TFTP

There are a lot of articles that say not all TFTP servers work with the CISCO Phones. I first used OpenFTPServer as that was the recommended. I also used SolarWinds TFTP Server as that is my favourite for Windows. For Linux my standard is vsftpd.

You will need to make a choice of which TFTP server to use.

Firmware P0S3-08-9-00

Files

The following information is based on SIP firmware P0S3-08-9-00. It seems that you can only download old firmware form the CISCO web site unless you have an account/contract with CISCO. I called CISCO and said I required the latest SIP firmware. A help desk person made the files available to me. I may have been lucky.

Extract the ZIP file which contains the firmware files to the root of your TFTP server. These files should be as follows:

  • OS79XX.TXT
  • P0S3-08-9-00.loads
  • P0S3-08-9-00.sb2
  • P003-08-9-00.bin
  • P003-08-9-00.sbn

OS79XX.TXT

Edit the contents of the OS79XX.TXT file. By default it will have P003-08-9-00. Change that to be P0S3-08-9-00. The S represents SIP.

SIPdefault.cnf

You will need to create a file called SIPdefault.cnf. The phone will look for the field image_version. You need to specific the firmware version that you would like to use.

NOTE: Not all phones used this field to automatically upgrade via TFTP. The CISCO 7912 phone requires a manual process. See that sections for more details.

image_version: P0S3-08-9-00

I would recommend that you use the SIPdefault.cnf file listed below. This will be a global file that you would like all of your phones to use.

configuration files

SIPdefault.cnf

This file will be used by all CISCO phones. Any non-global or specific configuration required for an individual phones needs to be placed in the file SIP<mac_address>.cnf. For Example, if the MAC address of your phone is 1C17D3C2FF93 then you need a file called SIP1C17D3C2FF93.cnf that contains the individual setting for that phone. See the next section for that information.

SIP<mac_address>.cnf

This file contains specific information for each phone. The information here is more about registration information to the PBX.

The following configuration file is for a CISCO 7940 which is a 2 line phone. If you have a 1, 3 or more line phone then add/remove the lineX lines appropriately.

# SIP Configuration Generic File (start)


# Line 1 Settings
line1_name: "8952"            ; Line 1 Extension\User ID
line1_displayname: ""         ; Line 1 Display Name
line1_authname: "8952"        ; Line 1 Registration Authentication

# Line 2 Settings

line2_authname: "8952"        ; Line 2 Registration Authentication
line2_password: ""            ; Line 2 Registration Password



# Phone Label (Text desired to be displayed in upper right corner)
phone_label: "Exten: 8952  "    ; Has no effect on SIP messaging

# SIP Configuration Generic File (stop)

dialplan

You will notice in the SIPdefault.cnf file there is a line that sais:

# Set Dialplan File name
dial_template: dialplan

This is informing the phone as to where the dialplan or number pattern matching scheme is for the phone. My dialplan is based on Queensland Australia.
