Getting the Cisco IP Phone 7970 G to work together with the software PBX Asterisk was something I had my hands on a couple of years back. Here’s how you can get them talking together.
You need a couple of things to get this working:
- A functioning DHCP server
- A functioning TFTP server
- SIP Firmware from Cisco This is just a gzipped and tar’ed file.
- A functioning asterisk server
- A Cisco IP Phone
According to a recent installation, the TFTP Server must contain the following files
apps70.1-1-2-26.sbn
cnu70.3-1-2-26.sbn
cvm70sip.8-0-2-25.sbn
dsp70.1-1-2-26.sbn
jar70sip.8-0-2-25.sbn
SIP70.8-0-3S.loads

On the Asterisk server, you will have a file named sip.conf and to have the Cisco IP Phone talking to Asterisk you need this
[999999999]
username=999999999
type=friend
secret=password
nat=no
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no
dtmfmode=rfc2833
context=incoming
qualify=yes
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
That should be it, good luck!
