Hi.

Where can I find a documentation for the new SIP firmware version 11 for 8861 phones?

Thank you!

Sorry, I meant, where I can find explanation of every single option we write in .cnf.xml file?

For example, if I use SIP firmware, why do I need <callManagerGroup> in my config.

Thank you!

You may check the following link

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/7960g_7940g/sip/8_0/english/administration/guide/8_0/sipins80.html#wp1109133

The configuration example for SIP default configuration file provides info for the various parameters, though all are not covered as the documentation is only for the default config file.

BTW, maybe you can explain: if I use SIP firmware, why do I need <callManagerGroup> in my config.

Thank you!

If the IP phone is registering to callmanager it needs to know the cucm to which it needs to register , this prioritized list of cucm's is provided by the Callmanager group.

Ok, but what if I don't have CUCM and use it like a SIP phone?

Why I can't just write:

<sipLines>
<line button="1">

[Manish Gogna]

The phone will need info on which server to register to, if this is not a CUCM deployment then you can check the following post for SIP phone registration to Asterik and it does mention which all settings are needed, that's pretty much what i can help with this scenario.

Ok, makes sense a little bit.

If I need to set up 3 different SIP lines from 3 different SIP providers, how many <member priority="0"> I have to add in a <callManagerGroup> ? 

[Rajan]

You can have only one member with priority 0 at a time as it is the server which will control your phone. At a time, the phone can register to only one PBX and not with multiple servers and hence can be controlled only by one server.

CallManager group can have many members in prioritized order for redundancy purpose. If first member fails, it will register with second and so on in the same order. But remember it can register only with one member at a time whatever the case may be.
