It does the Headset-Mute-Speaker flash, then the first line button turns orange, and then the phone resets. I made a console cable, and it seems to be dying with Kernel shutdown bugcode 0x91 . I can't find any information on this. I think my 7970 is actually bricked. It does the Headset-Mute-Speaker flash, then the first line button turns orange, and then the phone resets.

It all worked with your description (except I had to change the ip from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.1.3 and port from 150 to 69), thank you for this . I have the SIP70.8-5-2SR1 version installed. After installing I had some problems as you noticed as "annoying little error in your config file" up there. My problem is; I can not change my SIP configuration via display menu. (phone is unlocked via "**#" ). That must be probably what you meant. I can highlight the menu, just like; Name-Shortname-Authentication name-Display Name-Proxy ddress etc., but I can NOT edit. I do not use "XMLDefault.cnf.xml", I only use "SEP.cnf .xml" file with following codes. 2000 {Jan 01 2008 00:00:00} SIP70.8-5-2SR1S 60 I think that' s the problem. I' ll be appreciate that if you can you enlighten me to correct this problem. Thanks in advance. J. Milton Hi,

Have 2 x 7942G's that I bricked trying to load SIP. Brought them up on a CM and they came good (although they loaded SCCP). Craig Hi,
