Hello I recently get a Cisco 7940G IP Phone and I try to make several
things with it and I en counted many difficulties:

1.) I tried to unlock the phone and to set manually IP Address,
Netmask, Gateway etc. I don't get any luck.
2.) I tried to upgrade firmware like they said with tftp server... I
downloaded: P0S3-08-11-00.zip and I uncompressed the files in tftpboot
directory.
I don't get any luck here either. I look in the /var/log/messages and
I observed that my phone request 4 different files that i don't have
it in my tftp directory.
Here's my tftp output session with my phone:

Feb 13 11:19:36 linux-9pg5 atftpd[18825]: Serving SEPDefault.cnf to
192.168.1.3:52182

as you see my phone request 4 files that doesn't comes in archive
P0S3-08-11-00.zip:
SEP00141CAA4B4C.cnf.xml, XMLDefault.cnf.xml, SEP00141CAA4B4C.cnf,
SEPDefault.cnf...

while my archive contents is the following:
OS79XX.TXT, P003-08-11-00.bin, P003-08-11-00.sbn, P0S3-08-11-00.loads,
P0S3-08-11-00.sb2

3.) I want to make this phone to be SIP compatible. A friend of main
gave me a .cnf file with an example of configuration for SIP.
How may I rename this cnf file to make work with my phone.

4.) On the other side my phone doesn't have ringtone either. Any clue
how may I put ringtones on it?

I know is a lot of questions for you guys, but I browse on cisco.com
web site and google for hours and I don't get it any clue to make work
this phone in any way.

Thank you for help.

Jonson.
