We now sell the SmartNET Service Agreements for these phones! (Necessary to get Firmware)

Use our web form to transmit your device information.

Here is a basic cleansed Cisco 7941/7961 Configuration file. This file was provided by Henry over at Axxtel, LLC in Lawrenceville, Georgia. He was kind enough to provide us his basic configuration file with comments provided.

You will need to make certain that your phone has been reflashed to the SIP firmware. Most phones come with the SCCP firmware on them. To learn more about this procedure check our out article on reflashing Cisco 7940 and 7960 phones over here: Cisco 7940 and 7960 guide. Once you’ve done that you can use this configuration file to register your phone to your Asterisk  or other SIP based PBX.

Go ahead and replace the relevant fields with information related to your phone and PBX. You can download that file here. Make sure you right click and go to save target as. This is very important as most modern browsers will attempt to parse the XML file.

Here’s the file copy and pasted, I do not recommend you use more than one line from this file, downloading the XML file will typically work much better. I would recommend editing this file in Notepad++.
