chan_sccp on trixbox 2.4 (or 2.6?)
Submitted by sirthomas on Sat, 03/15/2008 - 10:45am.
I bought myself another Cisco 7960 off of ebay (they are cool phones!) and I'm curious to play with chan_sccp with this one.
I noticed that with trixbox 2.4 the chan_sccp driver isn't available. Or at least, I wasn't able to find it. Could it be made available? Is it or will it be available for trixbox 2.6? I'd much appreciate if it could be made available!
THANKS!!
Got it working...

Found this website which was a lot of help: http://southbrain.com/south/2008/02/cisco-7960-and-asterisk-1417-...
To get chan_sccp_b working on my trixbox I did the following steps:
yum update
I updated from trixbox 2.4 to trixbox 2.6.0. I'm not sure I had to, but I couldn't figure out how to install asterisk-devel without updating and I wanted to try 2.6.0 anyway. After the upgrade process was finished and freepbx modules updated, things worked just fine.
yum install asterisk-devel gcc
In order to compile the chan_sccp_b driver I needed to have a compiler which is not installed by default on trixbox and the developement part of asterisk.
Then I just followed the instructions on that web page to get the driver compiled and installed. I had to make a few minor tweaks to their example config to get my phone working well with trixbox, but it wasn't hard.
A few things I like about SCCP:
I can onhook dial. With SIP I had to push a button or lift the handset before I could start dialing. Not needed with SCCP.
The DND button works and it right on the main screen!
I can monitor another extension using one of the six buttons on my 7960!
Plus, I answered "yes" to the PARK compile option which gives me a "Park Call" button that works nicely.

Hi, when you add an extension is SCCP now available as a endpoint type or is it a custom type?
Do provision SCCP extensions in FreePBX or manually?
I am very interested in the chan_mgcp module, it integrates similar to chan_sccp.
Any information you could share would be appreciated.

I added my SCCP extension via FreePBX using the "Other (Custom) Device" and used "SCCP/2107" as the dial string. 2107 is the extension of my Cisco 7960 that is using the SCCP firmware.
There is someone who wrote a FreePBX addition/modification for SCCP, MGCP and H323. Info can be found here: http://www.trixbox.org/forums/trixbox-forums/trixbox-endpoints/h3...
I have not yet tried his FreePBX changes.
Thanks I have searched MGCP

Thanks I have searched MGCP ad nauseum and had not found that link.
If I get this pile of LG MGCP phones to provision on trix I will be one happy camper. We have had to buy back a bunch of them from a hosted Sylantro venture.
Regards....

Tom,
Thanks for taking the time to document this... I may try it soon as I have a number of 7960/7970 users not happy with button placement and no way to change anythingin SIP. Although I may try the latest SIP first and then the this...

Conference feature has not yet been implemented in CHAN-SCCP-B.
See my notes (at the end) on evaluating SCCP-CHAN-B currently with the 7960, 7960+7914 Sidecar & shortly 7970/71 under Asterisk v1.4
