[asterisk-users] need help using tftp for polycom 501

[Marlin Unruh]

Hi,

I have a Polycom 501 that is currently unusable because I started a
firmware and sip upgrade that I can't complete.

The Ubuntu box address is set static at: 192.168.1.101.
The phone address is set static at 192.168.1.51.

The phone settings for the server menu are:
Server Type: Trivial FTP
Server Address: 192.168.1.101
Server User: PlcmSpIp
Server Password: PlcmSpIp (not sure what it should be)
Pro. Method: default

I am using tcpdump to watch the network messages, and I see the phone
sending messages like:


11:04:50.147597 IP 192.168.1.51.1025 > 192.168.1.101.69:  19 RRQ 
"bootrom.ld" octet
11:04:58.235875 IP 192.168.1.51.1027 > 192.168.1.101.69:  25 RRQ 
"0004f21136a1.cfg" octet
11:06:36.728815 IP 192.168.1.51.1029 > 192.168.1.101.69:  25 RRQ 
"000000000000.cfg" octet

I have the following files in the directory /srv/tftp:

0004f21136a1.cfg  bootrom.ld  phone774110.cfg  sip.cfg

I have edited 0004f21136a1.cfg to point to phone774110.cfg

I get the following message on the phone:
Could not contact boot server.
error loading 004f21136a1.cfg

If I "ps -e" I see tftp is active.

I am at a total lose how to setup and use tftp properly. I have searched 
the Internet and read man pages, but I can't get it into my head.

Any help will be very much appreciated.
