I'm working on an alternative to a $120,000 Cisco phone system that my

company is looking at. I got Freeswitch installed on CentOS last week
using the Quick and Dirty instructions. That part was painless. We had a
few 7940s laying around. After some wrestling with it, I got the latest
SIP firmware installed and what I hoped was a functional config
(attached). X-Lite phones can call each other no problem. 7940s can call
X-Lite no problem. Anytime I try and call a 7940, it goes straight to
voicemail. I attached a log file that shows the activity when trying to
call a7940 from X-Lite.
X-Lite is at 10.86.10.58. 7940 is at 10.86.11.50. Freeswitch is
nshplpbx1.unix/10.85.0.53. Everything is on the same LAN. Different
subnets, but no firewalls.
I didn't see anything that said posting attachments was frowned upon. I
apologize if it isn't appropriate. I'm guessing this is something simple
and I'm just clueless on how to diagnose the issue.
I'm not tied to using this model for good, but it is what we had laying
around. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Next step is configuring
it to talk to Verizon VOIP over a DS3.

Thanks,

Matthew,
Welcome to FreeSWITCH! We're glad you're ditching a $120K system. We think you'll find FS is as powerful as any software out there right now.

Here's a handy wiki page that will help you get the diagnosing skills you need:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs

I'd say first thing to do is capture the SIP traffic to see if there are any clues. A "normal temporary failure" doesn't give you a lot of detail. :) If you're new to SIP debugging then the best thing to do is to capture the SIP trace and put it in the pastebin. (http://pastebin.freeswitch.org)

You can also join the IRC channel #freeswitch on irc.freenode.net and get some real-time help. There are some sharp folks in there, not the least of which are the three main FreeSWITCH developers.
