Ciso: IP Phone Home

Yesterday got me a "new" Cisco phone from work.
The old and pretty crappy Budge Tone 201 that I have at home was nearly completely broken and totally beat up.

So the powers that be gave me a Cisco IP Phone 7940.

Setting it up on my LAN was pretty much a piece of cake, had to disable DHCP, gave it the IP address that the Budge Tone was using, etc... Only thing I had to do was to add a TFPT server IP address pointing to nowhere inside my LAN in order to accept the fixed IP address & settings.

It works perfectly well behind the D-Link DIR-601 router, no need to set anything special in terms of port forwarding or stuff like that.
The difference in craftsmanship between the two phones is amazing.

D-Link DIR-601 & SIP problems

Last Friday got a new WiFi router, everything went really smooth when I switched routers, except for one thing, my SIP phone wasn't working.
I have a nice and really cheap Budge Tone 201, and after changing routers it stopped working, I was able to register via SIP to the Asterisk server with the Budge Tone, but I didn't hear anything once I made a call, nor the other party could hear me at all.
The Linux SIP softphone Ekiga -executed from my Ubuntu laptop- did work Ok, tho.

Upgraded the firmware from version:

Current Firmware Version  :  1.00NA
Current Firmware Date  :  Mon, 05 Oct 2009

To version:

Current Firmware Version :  1.02NA
Current Firmware Date :  Thu, 25 Nov 2010

Now the Budge Tone works A Ok and things seems to be just fine.
