[Asterisk-Users] DHCP, the TFTP Server setting and the Cisco79xx phones

[Paul Rodan]

So that's what the parameter is for. Jeesh. Live and learn. 

Anyways, I'm going to try DHCP Option 150 as well to see if that does the
trick. Thanks!

I think I have Wonder Shaper working on my WRT54G as well, so that'll do the
QOS I need. It's also a TFTP Server to hold the phones config files and it's
also a NTP server for the phones. 

Curious, has anybody tried the Asterisk ipkg for OpenWRT on a WRT54G?

You can manually set the TFTP server address, we do it all the time. 
Just turn on "Alternate TFTP Server", then go up to the TFTP Server 
field and enter the IP address. Works like a charm.
