Hi,

Step 1
On the Cisco IP Phone, press Applications , choose Admin settings > Network setup > Ethernet setup > IPv4 setup > TFTP Server 1.

Step 2
If you have assigned a static IP address to the phone, you must manually enter a setting for the TFTP Server 1 option.

Step 3
If you are using DHCP, the phone obtains the address for the TFTP server from the DHCP server. Check that the IP address is configured in Option 150.

Step 4
You can also enable the phone to use an alternate TFTP server. Such a setting is particularly useful if the phone recently moved from one location to another.

Step 5
If the local DHCP does not offer the correct TFTP address, enable the phone to use an alternate TFTP server.

This is often necessary in VPN scenario.

To enter "." on network settings, you need to use "*" and not "1".
