Hello,
I am relatively new to Cisco phones and unfortunately came across a problem with the one I have been using happily for some time.
Following the post below I have been looking into trying to reimage my phone :
http://www.experts-exchang
I have installed an TFTP server onto one of my computers on the network (TFTPD32). However I feel that I need to do something additional with the phone to ensure the two can talk to each other. This is confirmed I think by the fact that nothing appears in the log files of the TFTP server when the 7940 boots up.
Is it the case that each time a Cisco phone boots up it will search for its TFTP server ?
I dont have the firmware files for the phone yet (working on that) however I wanted to check to see how I can get the two talking to each other so when I have the right files it will be easy.
As my phone wont boot up I cannot check the settings of the phone. I have done a factory reset on the phone. What can I do to ensure the two talk to each other ?
Any help available would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
GISVPN

hello,
Thank you for everyone who has posted and helped with this problem. I managed to set up the TFTP server using TFTPD32. I used this also as the DHCP server and managed to get the phone reset and loaded with the latest image which resolved the problem i was originally having with the phone.
Thank you again. Not overally easy a process but got there in the end !.
