The new config format is XML, versus the prior variable=value style configuration. The 7970 changed all the rules of Cisco IP phone configurations. Theoretically, it should have been simple - Broadvoice offers a TFTP server for Cisco 79 phones, so it should just be a matter of telling the phone where to find a config file and voila. The 7970 is simply a gorgeous phone (although the SIP code could use some help) and I have a deep-seated requirement to use a cool piece of hardware whenever possible, I decided to hook that phone up to my Broadvoice SIP account instead of my Zyxel 2000W V2 WiFi SIP phone. I've had a Cisco 7970 running SCCP firmware in the lab for a little, but suddenly it lacked a Cisco CallManager box to talk to when I shipped out some test gear. All noted configuration file examples can be downloaded from here. Since I seem to be feeling rather talkative today, I figured I'd post a bit on the latest little bit of geekery I committed this week.
