Cisco 7940G with voip ??

Hello,
i have bought a used Cisco 7940G which appears to have been used with
an office network. It didnt have a psu with it so it must have been
line powered. I have bought a psu and am trying to configure it to use
with voip via my router/cable connection.

My first problem is that when i go to network config in the settings
menu and press select, i am shown the menu items but with a closed
padlock. I tried the **# buttons to try and unlock but no change
unless im doing something wrong.

The current firmware versions are as follows;

Appload ID P00307020300
bootload id PC0303010100
version 7.2(3.0)

My research tells me that i need to upload the latest sip image from
the cisco website. I have downloaded that file to my pc and then
installed the free solarwinds tftp server software. I have unzipped
all the cisco files in the package and put them in the tftp server
root directory. I then powered off and on the phone but there seems to
be no comms between the tftp server running on my pc and the phone.

Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction?

thanks

joe

 

Near the bottom of the 'Settings' menu there may be an 'Unlock Config'
option. The default password for this is 'cisco'.

 

In at the deep end, eh? I wouldn't recommend a Cisco to a first time home
user.

Has the previous owner given you the relevant passwords?

Have you told your phone it needs to use your PC as a TFTP server? I had to
change the options on my DHCP server to get my Mitel handsets to use the
right TFTP server.

http://www.trixbox.org/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=3 People are often
struggling with Ciscos in there.

 

Unfortunately there appears to be no menu item for inputting a
password !

 

What happens when you select 'Unlock Config' ?

 

admin manual entry about erasing config (from an old version of the Call
Manager manuals, so may not apply)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products..._guide_chapter09186a00800b608b.html#wp1020895

if that doesnt work - time to hunt the Cisco site a bit more.

 

There is no unlock config item in the menu...

the right hand side toward the top corner then enter **#, the padlock
symbol opens for some functions.
