You have to enable the console with the phone programming.  2 things unlock
the settings by pressing **# settings then you can go into network setup and
keep scrolling down until you see alternate tftp yes/no.  Make sure that it
says yes.  Save and reboot phone then you should be able to set the tftp
server by pressing **# settings then scroll down to the TFTP server and
enter in the correct ip address, save and reboot. If this is a newer SIP
version you can press the settings button press the digit 9 then enter the
password "cisco"
