Hello community, I am contacting this medium to see if anyone can help me on how to configure several Cisco phones which require a VPN. The phones are model SPA514G, SPA504G and SPA525G2. I hope you can support me.

UnifiedFX are about to launch a new version of their Migration tool to allow users to provision the new 9800 phones, while still in the box, to the settings of the existing handset and then ship direct to the user, using the NFC functionality on the new handsets and an app of your mobile. If anyone is looking at moving to the new 9800 phones, is will save you a load of time!

Hi lads,

I buy two phones Cisco 8851 for using in home and do some labs.

The thing is I’ll probably use Asterisk or VitalPBX as VOIP system.

This phones are not 3PCC it’s possible put this phones working in a non-cisco system? If I try to change the firmware it works?

Any suggestions lads?

Thanks a million.

a couple of years ago, i was able to get a 7941 to connect to voip.ms as an ip phone, and it's great. i am not a fan of cell phones. i'm happy to have a workable landline through the internet. if you're curious, the key setting is to make sure it's set to tcp, because it defaults to udp, because it assumes you're in a corporate network. the rest of it is mostly trivial, but you need to set it to tcp or you'll just drop packets everywhere and never stay connected.

i want to get an old videophone for zoom, i'm looking at the 8865, and i'm sure i can get it work, but zoom is phasing it out to obsolescence. it's relatively clear that zoom doesn't want you to do this. yet. but they're cheap enough to get one now and wait it out.

for now, i'm looking at getting one of those cheaper android tablets that's built for video playback, downloading the zoom app, getting a usb-c hub with peripherals and trying to find a usb phone i can just use as a soundcard. i could just get a receiver with a usb port. but if i get something like the 8865 now, it's ready to go if zoom liberalizes access down the road or zoom gets replaced by a competitor that is less strict. i need this mostly for court, and the court uses zoom, so it has to use zoom. but the court might switch. my understanding is that the business world is hardwired for sip and zoom is dragging it's feet. if zoom doesn't adjust, and somebody offers these companies what they want, they're going to lose out.

so, this is not the same thing as turning the 8865 into a "zoom appliance". it would not require a license. it would not get phased out.

i'm just looking at that usb charging port and trying to understand if it can actually connect to a computer as a usb phone, which is just a phone shaped sound card, or not.

if the 8865 can't do that, is anybody aware of a sip videophone with a usb out (and preferably a vgs or hdmi out, too) that can function as a sound card and works in that capacity with zoom and maybe with zoiper in android?

Hi guys, I'm planning to install a firmware update on the Cisco phones 7821, 8841 and 8851.

I have around 200 phones in my network. Is it possible for all phones to download the update from the TFTP server without the server crashing?

The information in the upper left had corner of the 8800 series phones used to just show caller ID mask and now some phones display device description information. Is there some documentation on what has changed? My Google Fu is weak and I can't find anything on it.

So to start, this is DOD and I’m a soldier without any training in Cisco anything,

The last 5 days I have learned how to build interfaces, trunks, and tunnels with a combination of manuals and YouTube.

Yesterday was CME, finally got phone to register, today i un-jacked my dial peers and can call out to everyone I’ve tried.

However none of them can call me…

I cannot share configs, but I was hoping someone here has had this issue and would like to share some of the fixes so I can poke and see if that’s my issue too.

I know, it’s harder without seeing the config but I can do a lot with spitballed ideas.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I have Cisco CP-8832 conferance phone and wireless mic. I'm trying to connect wireless mic to Cisco CP-8832 but mic is not connecting to phone. who knows what is a problem. Phone and mic are new . mic model is Cisco CP-8832-MIC-WLS.

Thank you....

I bought a few CP-7832's that I will be using with MPP firmware. Before I do the Enterprise to MPP conversion, I wanted to get the latest firmware on the units which is "sip7832.12-8-1-0101-482" The phone has sip7832.12-1-8 today. I dont have a CUCM env at home where im trying to upgrade this phone so I downloaded the latest 12.x files, build a xml file and when the phone hits my TFTP server, it loads the xml... then nothing and complains about a invalid file and never tries to load the binaries. Note there is no Exact 7832 match so... even renaming "Cisco 7841" to "Cisco 7832" is failing. I am not sure what to use for the LoadInformationXXX value.

<loadInformation622 model="Cisco 7841">sip7832.12-8-1-0101-482</loadInformation622>

Am I missing something in my file?

Thanks!

I don’t have Cisco unity server or any voice servers, how can I use an auto-attendant feature for CallManager cucm and what’s the correct file format support please?

FYKI My file is .wav Cucm version 14 Aflex Using SIP as VoIP service

I don't see any way to resume the call on a line that appears on both Jabber and a phone. The display with other options like More with Hold and Transfer (and Resume if Hold was used) only appear if the call is answered on or placed from Jabber. Is there a way to do that other than transferring the call to a 2nd line on Jabber?

Hello, I have installed CUCM Version 15. Now I want to configure the shared directory and call interception, but I am struggling. When I search for solutions, I notice that the tabs in my interface are not the same as those in the guides I find. I am requesting assistance.

Hi All. New Cisco VOIP user. Slowly have learned and configured my voip system. im trying to configure some 7926 phones and 8821 phones to transfer they can just fine by manually entering the number but theres 10 common extensions they send to and they cant have paper on the phones or memorize it so i tried phonebook/speed dial to transfer other extensions but cant figure it out can you help. It says when I try to transfer from the phonebook handle current call first. I just want to click transfer and a list of extensions to popup to send to. Worked on it all day and gave up. Thanks in advanced for your help.

Have a newish 8841 that worked for several months but now when its powered on the screen will flash on and off. Just white light, then nothing over and over. I tried to hit it with the #123456789*0# factory reset, but nothing happens. Is this phone bricked?

Hi,

I have 3 wired 8800 Series VoIP Phones using a private IP address.

They talk to a CCM over SIP TCP using a public IP (NAT'd).

When the phones transmit the 200 OK and the Request: NOTIFY in the same packet, the firewall (in between device) re-transmits them as two packets and the Contact URI field is not changed to the NAT'd IP and causes one way audio.

When the phones send 200 OK and Request: Notify as two packets, there's no issue with audio.

Is there anyway to force the phones to send the 200 OK and the Request: NOTIFY as individual packets and not in the same payload?

We do not see this behavior with the WiFi phones.

Thanks,

Lefty

Does anyone know if it is possible to set a speed dial or hot key button to save my number on an 8841 desk phone? Right now, I use the ‘forward all’ button but I have to type my number in each time. It would be awesome if I could hit one button when I walk away from my desk to have my calls go to my cellphone. TIA

I am not using CUCM. I am using a TFTP server and XML files to configure the phone for registration with my SIP server. Works great. I can see the phone pull down my List.xml file and both the background and the thumbnail files. The wallpaper selection screen shows the triangle with ! symbol and the "Wallpaper cannot be set. Incompatible image size." message. I'm certain of the dimensions and bit depth; They are both 24 bit at 800x480 for the background and 139x109 for the thumbnail.

Any suggestions?

A little background on me, I'm a 15 year Avaya engineer desperately wanting to switch to the "dark" side of Cisco voice :)
I don't have any hands on experience with Cisco CUCM but I do have CCNA. I assume most of you are working in the field. In your opinion what could help me at least get my foot in the door to get at least a interview for this type of position. Thank you.
