[Asterisk-Users] Unlock / install of Cisco 7940 IP Phone ?

[Aaron Daniel]

You have to press settings, then **#, and wait a moment to make sure it 
unlocks.  Then you can configure a tftp server to use.

The alternative is to configure your dhcp server with a tftp server.  On 
linux, that would be "next-server <ip/host>" in the subnet section.  TFTP 
server on windows.
