Hello. I am setting up a PBX (FreePBX) for a client who told me they wanted a Cisco 7841, so that's what I bought....unfortunately I bought the first one I found online and now I'm learning I bought the wrong model. I've done some research since, from what I've read it seems like I should be able to flash with Multiplatform phone firmware (it is V05) and use it as I was expecting. Is this indeed possible?
If the answer is yes, my next problem is how. I'm server admin, SSH/TFTP tasks are easy, but I can't figure out how to get into the 7841's control panel. When I go to the IP, it gives me a summary page, but I do not see a link to the control panel login. I'm assuming I would also need a user/pass to get in, which I don't have. I bought the phone new, I'm definitely the first user/owner of it, but the box it came in had nothing. I have created a Cisco account and downloaded the latest MPP firmware (12.1).
Any help/tip is greatly appreciated. I'm supposed to install this on Monday, so my time is short.
Thanks in advance!
