[cisco-voip] Help with first time VOIP setup.

[Anthony R. Mattke]

Ok, I admit it. I need a bit of help! Who doesn't from time to time?

I am attempting to setup a home VOIP lab to try and learn a little bit 
about how it all works. I have 2 1760 routers, 2x vic-2fxs and 1x 2fxo a 
couple of analog phones, and a cisco 7960 phone (running sip firmware 
currently). One of my 1760s is running CME 4.1

I'm having trouble getting the 7960 setup properly, and think it may be 
the firmware on it. At first, it would come up and act like it was going 
to work, but not really do anything. I'd attempt dialing and it wouldn't 
seem to actually connect to my fxs ports. Not sure if I need a dialplan 
or something else in place for this to work properly or what. The 
dial-peers between pots phones works fine... but I digress.

The phone was from eBay and kept coming up with some Company name on the 
lines, so I decided to do a reset on it. Upon resetting, it no longer 
registers.. Just shows Phone Unprovisioned

My configuration is pretty bare.. here are some of the bits and such.

Anyway, thats what I got, and I know enough to know I could use a point 
in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
