[Asterisk-Users] 7940/60 TFTP Problem

After about three hours

I just TFTP to 7940

I had that weird file issue

So renamed the file

Using Cisco tftp unticked the box that says transfer this file only 

And after 50 or so attempts there you go

Honestly I would rather load an IOS on our big mother routers ( if you
know what I mean )




Now my issue is I can call in but can not get to the extension ( Cisco )

And from the Cisco phone I can not call out ( pstn )

Regards Mick

Mick,

Can you please provide more detail on specifically what you did / or did
not do to get it to work.

Thanks
