- This video will show you how to connect your Cisco phone to FreePBX. This video goes over converting your firmware to SIP and how to register it with FreePBX.
TFTP 32/64 Download Link: tftpd32.jounin....
Cisco Firmware Files: software.cisco...
**Cisco for some unknown reason has removed a lot of download links for their site, I suggest using the wayback machine/archive site if the files are gone. Or you can download the Cisco 7941 SIP Firmware Version 8.5(2) from my site files.laurens....
Cisco XML Config Files: files.laurens....
If you need more help, feel free to call +1 (983) 200-7770
Great video! As an MSP, we have extensively evaluated various VoIP solutions, including FreePBX, in our quest for excellence. Through rigorous testing, we've determined that Thirdlane Multi Tenant PBX system, coupled with Cisco's IP phones, offers an optimal blend of performance and reliability. Thanks!
So far the best phone programming yet. Will try with my 7960 to convert to SIP, already have files from Cisco to convert but will do provisioning of all phones once hooked to my Free PBX BOX.
I remember watching this for the first time to setup my 7961 with FreePBX. I went from using FreePBX to running a full on CUCM and Unity connection system
Thank you so much, I finally got my Cisco 6941 working. I thought that it was incompatible with SIP & FreePBX but you made it work. The k you so much!!!
Just so you know SCCP is supported within asterisk itself which includes freepbx, it's very much not Cisco only.
Your video was spot on. Helped me tremendously.
Thank you!
Glad it helped!
@@bcm50 do you still maintain offline copies of the firmware files? Awesome video thank you!
@@mikeslabolepszy1875 yep, sure do, those links should still be working
Super useful video. Top marks!
Question does this work on the 7945 IP Phones
Thank you for your awesome video!! I will try this settings with a Grandstream UCM hoping it works. I will text back with my results.
Sounds good, I wish you luck!
@@bcm50 I tryed your method and the phone its in a loop registering. Maybe something is missing to be provisioned. Any thoughts?
@@elvismateo7022 Could it prehaps be your PBX? Are you US King FreePBX? Did you check the credentials and fail2ban settings?
@@bcm50 no, I'm using a Grandstream UCM. In the end I found my way to encourage the customer to change the whole phone line up for a better user experience, so I don't have to configure cisco phones anymore.
can you use the latest firmware ?
Wondering if you can help... my phones are not provisioning. The phone pulls the config file from my TFTP server, but when the phone boots up it continues to list itself as "unprovisioned" without any changes made. Unsure if its to do with my PBX; I'm running FreePBX on VirtualBox with a bridged adapter. My softphones are connecting no problem so I don't think it's routing related. Thanks so much for a great tutorial.
Works the same on 7965G Thanks!
I wish i knew 10% of what you know. You are awesome
This is like a 2010 programming tutorial video😂 "so what you're gunna wanna do is go ahead and click the folder and go ahead and find the file and now go ahead and reboot the phone"
Some people need it that way. You’d be surprised by the supper simple questions I get
Thanks a million for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for the video
This is awesome!! Thank you so much!
I nearly started by using these units ...ended up with Cisco SPA504's (they have a web gui) .....got an older Cisco phone that also need TFTP ...d/loaded your config scripts just in case I get a load of these Cheap and a Client to Buy them off me (fitted) ...and then I can go and install a hangover...
Beautiful. Darn, lovely.
Awesome video. Just to ask, have you tried getting these type of phones registered over NAT?
Yes! Works perfectly
@@bcm50 I've been trying to get a 7970 and 7945 to work over NAT and it never works. Would you happen to have a sample XML file I can refer to that works over NAT?
nice video and a valuable help, thank you
Your welcome!
First of all this video is great! I can't thank you enough. I'm working on setting up a small business and we need a phone system. Question: can the TFTP server be on the free pbx server instead of on a separated computer? Also can the SIP firmware be transferred from the free pbx server instead of a separate computer.
@@bcm50 Thank you. I don't have the power plug for my phone. I'm using a PoE switch. No worries I'll figure something out.
Could you do a tutorial with a Yealink T30?
like everyone else here with a 7962 i just can not register it says registering restarting then back to registering
Hello to all the users who are facing issues with registering the Cisco 7941 with FreeBPX 16 and up, create a new SIP[chan_pjsip] extension , 1st in general setting chose a simple 6 digit secret and THE MOST IMP 2nd STEP , go to advance tab and turn these TWO SETTINGS TO NO (Rewrite Contact - No), (Force rport No), by doing these 2 steps it will surely connect.
Great video. Cheers!
Thank you so much very appreciated!
Finally a method that works
Yes, I got everything working. I have tried a lot of other guides and they all don’t work. But yours does. I do have one question, can I change the wallpaper on the phone?
Looking for some help getting a 7942 to work with Everyday Voip. Following this excellent video has got the phone working with the SIP protocol, now I'm trying to do the configuration file. This is where things seem to differ from Free PBX. Everyday Voip have given me a SIP URL (from which I got the IP address) and a port (5060). Then a username and password for my account. I can't see where in the configuration I can enter the username/password bit. I don't want an extension number, I just want this to be the phone that rings when my VOIP number is called. Any ideas?
I am following the same steps in the video for a 7942, and when transferring the files, nothing seemed to me, only the log indicates that TERM42.defaul.loads were sent.
then the phone shows the Cisco logo and does nothing.
How did you manage to update it successfully?
love this thank you.
can i use a cloud based freepbx with this? i got a 7945g and realized it wont work with 3cx, i cant have external ip address's here, everything is carrier NAT. i tried setting up freepbx locally and my 7945g just says registering an restarts over and over
This is amazing
Thanks 😍
I am trying to connect this to a Yeastar S20 which extension uses number, letter and 1 capital letter. Is there anyway I can insert such password into Cisco xml file? since I heard it receives only numerical value, not letters..let alone capital letter
Having same issue with Yeastar S100, were you able to figure this out?
Got as far as the xml files, which I can't seem to add successfully. There is no log activity from TFTP after resetting the phone to look for the new host location. Suggestions?

Hello, with the help of your video I was able to configure a Cisco 7942 and register it with an Elastix pbx, but I have not been able to configure a Cisco 7962, it remains registered. If you could help me guide me with the configuration file for this model, I would greatly appreciate it. thank you.
How did you transfer the files? They charge me but the phone then only shows the Cisco logo?
Do you have the Firmware for the 7942?
I can't register my ip phone,
Help please 🙏
Same here, did you find any solution.

I can't register , it says error locale update
Same here, did you find any solution.
Can you please re-upload the config files , the given link for that files showing the files not found
Done!
Hi, I can't get past the registering screen on my 7945G. How have you set up your extension in FreePBX?
Hello, great tutorial. Thanks for posting! The link to the XML file is broken.. Is there an updated link at all?
I made this mistake so I figure I'll share incase anyone does the same, but if you're having trouble getting tftpd to work on windows, make sure windows firewall is disabled!
@I Love Enterprise Gear Hello, I was wondering, can the FreePBX server be hosted in the cloud? Or will the phone not connect to cloud servers? Also, will this method work with 3CX? Thanks.
Yes, Thai will still work for a cloud hosted instance. And yes this will also work for 3CX
@@bcm50 Thank you! I look forward to more of your videos soon!
@@khoinguyenkhoiusa4252 Your most welcome, and thank you!!!!
Guide for the x8xx series phones?
This is great! I however am stuck with some enterprise 8851 on CUCM fw. I was able to use this method to get to the 3Pcc fw but it says I need a migration lic. Any way around this? Trying to get these prov to Zoom and it looks like it’s getting my line info from zoom but can’t make or receive calls and the mig lic warning pop up
Any help would be amazing
Any ideas?
Do you have discord, I can help you there?
No there is no way around this. If the phone was purchased new you would have bought the 3PCC version of the phone if the phone is a used enterprise 8851 then you have to pay Cisco for the migration license. But the migration license isn't that bad it's only around $50. Note that the 3PCC firmware requires a completely different TFTP config file format. Flash it back to the enterprise firmware and it will be fine you can use it with the enterprise xml config
Awesome video. Do you know if there is a similar XLM config file for the 88xx series phones? Specifically, the 8865. Thanks for your help.
You can use the same XML config file!
@@bcm50 I tried this on my 8811. It keeps asking for the CTLXXX.tlv and ITLXXX.tlv files... which I don't have since , I do not have CUCM. Is there a way to bypass this? the phones are brand new with 11.7
@@bcm50 Hey Laurens. I just purchased my cisco 8851 and I need help setting it up. We do text so im sure you know me its Lawrence. When you can please respond tot he messages iv'e shown you so you could understand more. Thanks
It will ask for those files if the phone has a private key in it. Do a factory reset of the phone by the 123456789 method which is detailed elsewhere and that will wipe the phone and wipe the keys and then it will attempt to pull a non-encrypted version of the tftp files
Thank you!
I am new to it. correct me what understood is that basically you have to run a freebox server and use it's IP address in the XML file to register the phone beside other settings.is there any other way to register just one Cisco phone after converting to SIP firmware without the free-box server?
Yes, by using CUCM or CME
@@bcm50 wish you can add a video for 1 phone
So um what If my phone doesn't have a power plug and I was just planning on using POE?
Yes, that is fine, that will work too!
Set up a VLAN on your switch to isolate a few ports away from your local network. Then you can use the switch as a passthrough for the TFTP transfer of the SIP files with your computer acting as the DHCP server.
thanks for the video, i am trying to connect a cisco CP-7962G to a UCM6202 grandstream, i followed your instructions and the phone works, the only problem i have is that when the extensions call to cisco phone, it says unavailable and send directly to voice mail...any suggstions..thanks
i have a cisco 7941g and i followed the instructions but only stays in registering and thas all, help please
@@raulclaure4088 i used tcp, not udp
Can u please upload this but for 3CX?
Message me on discord and I can help you Core#5789
hi I need your help with how to connect the phone with the asterisk server what configuration I will do in asterisk like free PBX
Im confused? How can I help you? All the instructions are in the video?
@@bcm50 I think I have the same problem, I will try to explain better. The phone is not registering to the Free PBX. I have created the extension, but maybe the error is in the PBX configuration of the extension, which you don't show in the video. Can you give some details on that? Thanks!
So I’m the alternate tftp, I would put in my computer (FreePBX) ip address? And when I restart the phone(s) it should be registered
Is there any other way to configure another cisco model like the 3905?
tried this on the cisco 7940g didnt work for me gets an ip address but when copying files says there is stuff missing.
Hello, do you know how can I create shortcuts for extensions or phonebook in cisco 7821?
hi, i'm having an issue with my 7962, it's not willing to get the files from the tftp server, i joined the discord tho but cannot read or write channels
Hi, I have the same problem with a 7942, can you solve it with your phone?
I am following the same steps in the video for a 7942, and when transferring the files nothing seems to me, only the log indicates that TERM42.defaul.loads was not found.
then the phone shows the Cisco logo and does nothing.
How can I update this model?
will there be more videos related to voip
Will this work on the Cisco 7965
Yes it will!
@@bcm50 OK THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Do I type in the same numbers for the IP as you?
@@bcm50 Does it have to be in the PC port on the phone?
Hello, I am following your exact steps, however when i boot the phone up, it says term41.default, it then proceeds to reboot with the bull's eye screen, any ideas
Phone won’t register at all idk why

Can I need to get the firmware download link
Are there any other ringtones available then the built in ones?
Yes. But you need a active Tftp server to constantly update the phone if you don’t I don’t know any other way.
My phone connects to the server but the phone says error after about 10 seconds any ideas?
The tftp server says sendto error 10051: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network
VLAN and other blocking may be in the way, and just to confirm, your using TFTP64 correct?
@@bcm50 Yes I am using TFTP64 and the phone and server are directly connected with a poe injector
The phone just goes to reboot as soon as it starts downloading the files
Do you plug the ethernet into the PC or Switch port?
Switch port
Thank you so much for this. It really works well. However, kindly assist. Mine registers successfully but whenever I dial an extension it just shows reorder and does not call the number. It just stops there

Is it possible to use the built in TFTP on FreePBX? I was able to flash a 7965 using tftpd but I want the config files to be on the local FreePBX server. I placed them in the tftpboot directory on the server and made sure the services were started and enabled at boot, but the phone remains unprovisioned. Will I need to always flash the configuration file via tftpd (or similar) when registering to FreePBX?
Fixed my issue, but then I was having an error getting my config file to validate - turns out Label's are limited to 12 characters. Changed my label to under 12 and phone is registering now!
may i have the files, the link is broken here
The text in the link is correct. There are spaces that have to be included. copy the link and paste in a brower. Make sure you include all of it up to the .zip
Did anyone have any sucess downloading files using the wayback machine?
How did you select the phone number to be used?

Hi I am using 7942g and the sip firmware has loaded but the xml file is not getting uploaded from the tftp server so what shall I do
Apparently, you need a service contract. I provided the serial number that is on the UP 7965g phone, but the serial number was not found in the CISCO database. Are the files for 7965g SIP and for UP 7962g, available from another location?
You only need one for the newest firmware. Try downloading one a version back.
I cant find discord link at all? good tutorial.

Does it work with 7940
Yes it sure does!
Ok im stuck at registering...
i can see the name in the uper right corner

i can register from 3cx soft phone with the extension credentials...
am i missing something?
