What do you mean by "injector" ?? Please explain. I did the same sequence of reset codes he did and I have the phone directly connected to a laptop using tftp32 and the procedures everyone has written about on how to load the load with the laptop as DHCP server, option 150 server, tftp server, all of that. I have the correct phone load files and the .cnf config file as well and when I wire shark it, using 2 separate phones now mind you (one with his default code sequence and one with the regular 123456789*0# sequence, wire shark shows both of the phones sending packets/messages/term42 file requests to an IP address of 46.48.46.53. Where is a phone that has been completely ground zeroed coming up with that destination IP address? The tftp32/laptop deal is giving the phone an IP address of 10.0.0.5/24. I can see this as well as the MAC address of the phone in tftp32. I have NO CLUE why I cant fix these phones this way, everyone else can. Again, where is the phone getting that 46 ip address it sends destination packets to??? This is a single laptop with one NIC card by itself directly wired to the phone, no switch, no network, no nothing. ... View more

Although this post is old, it comes up like 1st in a search on Google. I really wish someone would explain how these 3 party soft phones work. For instance, the PC I have it on is my "LAB" PC. I have 3 NIC cards in it. One subnet is for all the Cisco equipment, just to manage (telnet) into all the Cisco boxes. This IP does not have a default gateway set on PC. Then, another IP on the PC is another subnet, which is the subnet that the CME uses for real world SIP registration to SIP provider. This subnet has a default gateway on PC. Then there is another subnet on LAB PC, for servers. The CME's SCCP phones are on their own subnet. as controlled by the CME, but does not touch the LAB PC. All these soft phones I download, why cant you hard code an IP address in them? What IP do they use when they sit on the LAB PC here? All the instructions for 3rd party SIP softphones say to use the CME IP. Which one in my case? The "management only" IP, the SIP provider registration IP, or do I use the IP of the subnet of the SCCP phones and put a persistent route in Windows to it via one of the other IP's that goes to CME? Does the 3rd party SIP soft-phone need to have anything to do with the option 150 IP or any other IP in CME? Does the SIP softphone have to be a part of the SCCP DHCP pool? I followed all these SIMPLE configs and still wont register, and they really are SIMPLE configs. I just dont know why you cant hard code an IP in the XLITE or any other SIP soft-phone on a PC. ...

I just wanted to see if those "compatibility" matrix's were 100% fact, or some fiction may be able to be slipped in. I went ahead and tried something and made it work and just let people know, you can do that and it works. Unity Express 3.1 on CME 8.6 in in 3845 router with c3845-adventerprisek9_ivs_li-mz.151-4.M9.bin something IOS. When I show service engine status, it is online with heartbeat, no failures. When I press the "messages" button on the 7942's, I get the Unity girls voice. When I enter in my PIN#, I am able to listen to everything. When I call into it from outside line, she answers. When I call into the AA, I again get her voice and she directs my call to the extension I have configured. Having said all this, I do not believe 100% in those compatibility charts. Its just a lab experiment anyway, who is going to use Unity Express 3.1 in production nowadays anyway. One thing I don't understand and maybe I need to stand corrected on, which would then negate everything I said, when you look up the features on that IOS, you see Call Manager Express 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, 4.0(1),, 4.0(2), 4.0(3) AND CME 8.6 in that IOS. Well, which one is it?? If they are all in there, how can you tell which one your using or how do you tell the router which one to use? Am I being fooled this way? Any help on that one would be appreciated. ... View more

This is not entirely true. I proved the "compatibility matrix" wrong. I have an AIM-CUE with Unity Express version 3.1 loaded on it. I have this AIM in a 3845 router working just fine with CME 8.6. I said to myself, Unity Express is a freestanding, solitary install on its own platform, doesn't matter what IOS is on the router. How does CME 8.6 connect to Unity? By a dial peer with an extension number that points to it. That's it, nothing "IOS or CME" specific.I don't use a GUI, just command line config of the Unity Express 3.1, so I couldn't tell you about any GUI errors or not like he had. I am going to load this same Unity Express 3.1 on a regular NM-CUE module and put that into the SM-NM adapter and put that in my 2921 router running the same CME 8.6. I don't foresee any problems doing that either. Why would I have problems, again, it's just a simple dial peer that hits the freestanding Unity express. I have the old school license files for the 3.1 to load, so I will keep using them. This is in a lab anyway. ... View more

But that's so obvious! It's telling you straight out "no dial peer match". How about this, where it's not telling you anything obvious. SCRIPTS: Internal Error (Interface busy): IEC=1.1.182.11.26.0 on callID 8766 All it says is "hardware resource unavailable". Ok, WHAT hardware resource??? DSP's are all good here. No one has an answer for this error message, I've look all over. ... View more

Cisco TAC has  said it is directly related to an ITL file sych issue with the phone. The best way to fix it 100% of this time on any phone Is factory default reset. Never mind what firmware is on the phone as it is not common to one device or firmware load. Do this:   1 – unplug lan cables from back of phone 2- press and hold # key down and don’t let go 3- plug wires back in while still holding # key down 4- with # key still held in, wait for sequence of lights to blink next to line selection buttons. Should take maybe 1 min for this to happen 5- when lights blink in sequence, release # key 6- enter 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 * 0 # 7- wait a full 5 minutes or more for phone to fully download it’s software. It will say different things on the screen but eventually will fully load and reboot.       ... View more
