Cisco 7961G-GE and 7941G-GE WORKING Finally!!!

PostPosted: 01/20/2013

Finally I was able to get Cisco phones 7941G-GE and 7961G-GE working on Freephoneline.

You need to setup TFTP server at your home network, you could use either Windows XP, Vista or 7. I am using 2 Windows 7 as Primary and Alternative TFTP server. For TFTP server, I am using Tftpd32 which is working like a charm!

1 - DHCP Server Setting:
I am using Google DNS which is good enough. Below is snapshot for the DHCP.

2 - TFTP Setting:
The below is straight forward configuration.

3 - File required for Cisco boot, and should be placed in the TFTP directory
Most of the below file could be found inside cmterm-7941_7961-sip.8-5-3.cop, use 7-zip to extract it. To download this file from Cisco.com you need CCO account. The files that you need to create them manually are
* dialplan.xml
* g3-tones.xml
* SEPMAC.cnf.xml
* SoftKey.xml
* XMLDefault.cnf.xml

9 - Loading the Phone with new Firmware
Power on the phone while pressing “#”, then let go when you line buttons start flashing. Then enter the sequence “1234567890*0#”. That will initiate the reset.
Place the firmware files in your TFTP root, and let your DHCP server tell the phone where to find the TFTP server. The phone will ask for file a CTL<mac>.tlv file, ignore that, it is used for certificates or something. It will also ask for a file called XMLDefaults.cnf.xml. This file tells the phone what firmware it should load.

10 - Ports to open on your router

* 5004 to 6061 UDP
* 16384 to 32766 UDP
* 8000 to 8019 UDP

Use port range forwarding for the above, and forward it to the IP of the Cisco phone.

All the above were enough to get my Cisco phone working on Freephoneline.

Let me know if you have any questions!
