BRTC PBX with 7960

Once I had the soft phone working it was time to connect the Cisco 7960's to the PBX. The 7960's are wired (CAT5) to the Netgear router.

  1. SSH to the machine 192.168.1.5 to install "P0S3-06-3-00.bin", "P0S3-06-3-00.sbn" and "brctc.bmp". The first two files contain the phone firmware. When the phone boots it will connect to the PBX system and download the latest firmware. The phones I have are running a really old version of the firmware so loading these files on the PBX will allow them to update themselves when they come online.
  2. # cd /tftpboot
    # wget http://www.qicboy.com/files/2007/10/14/P0S3-06-3-00.zip
    # unzip P0S3-08-6-00.zip
    # mv OS79XX.TXT OS79XX.TXT.rel
    # cp OS79XX.TXT.rel OS79XX.TXT
    # vi OS79XX.TXT
    P0S3-06-3-00
    # setup-cisco
    # mv SIPDefault.cnf SIPDefault.cnf.rel
    # cp SIPDefault.cnf.rel SIPDefault.cnf
    # vi SIPDefault.cnf
    image_version: "P0S3-06-3-00"
    logo_url: "http://192.168.1.5/cisco/bmp/brctc.bmp" 
    # cd /var/www/html/cisco/bmp/
    # wget http://www.qicboy.com/files/2007/10/14/brctc.bmp
