John McKerrell has been trying to get the Cisco 7960 phones working. Using his own computer as a TFTP server and configuring the unifi hardware to point at it for the DHCP settings results in being able to configure the phones. Currently the logo and ringtones can be changed but the phone won't successfully register with Andrews & Arnold. Feels like it's almost there but just not quite managing that last hurdle.

I used TFTP to setup the phone. My TFTP server currently contains the following files:

OS79XX.TXT		P0S3-07-5-00.bin	RINGLIST.DAT		SIPDefault.cnf		xmlDefault.CNF.XML
P003-07-5-00.bin	P0S3-07-5-00.loads	RINGSLIST.DAT		ctu24.raw
P003-07-5-00.sbn	P0S3-07-5-00.sb2	SIP0A0A0A0A0A0A.cnf	ringtones

SIP0A0A0A0A0A0A.cnf is actually named for the MAC address of the phone, I've masked it here. It contains the following:

line1_name: "+441516606281";
line1_displayname: "Door Intercom";
line1_authname: "+441516606281";
line1_password: "password";
line2_name: "+441517030081";
line2_displayname: "DoES Enquiries";
line2_authname: "+441517030081";
line2_password: "another password";
phone_label: "John Desk ";

telnet_level: 2;

SIPDefault.cnf contains the following:

$ cat SIPDefault.cnf
image_version: P0S3-07-5-00
proxy1_address: voiceless.aa.net.uk
proxy2_address: 81.187.30.118
proxy_register: 1
sntp_mode: unicast
sntp_server: "85.199.214.101"
logo_url: "http://johnmckerrell.com/files/does-logo.bmp"
time_zone: "GMT"
time_fromat_24hr: 1
date_format: "Y/M/D"
preferred_codec: g711alaw

And a few more:

$ cat OS79XX.TXT
P003-07-5-00
$ cat xmlDefault.CNF.XML
<loadInformation7 model="IP Phone 7960">voiceless.aa.net.uk</loadinformation7>
$ cat RINGLIST.DAT
CTU24	ctu24.raw
$ cat RINGSLIST.DAT
CTU24     /ringtones/ctu24.raw

Most of the other files are firmware.

Also later wondered if using Asterisk would help, as it might have built in support, some information on this page but as it suggests using SIP anyway perhaps Asterisk wouldn't help. The first of the following links mentions that, and the second has some instructions around SIP:
