The .sgn file is basically just a zip container that the Cisco Call Manager
uses.  You'll want to grab the zip file, extract the contents of the file
into your tftp root directory.  The latest firmware that I've used was
8.5.2, in which most everything I needed worked for me.  I don't know
specifics about the later versions of Cisco's SIP releases.

You should have, at least with firmware 8.5.2, the following files in your
tftproot directory after unzipping the zip file:

apps41.8-5-2TH1-9.sbn
cnu41.8-5-2TH1-9.sbn
cvm41sip.8-5-2TH1-9.sbn
dsp41.8-5-2TH1-9.sbn
jar41sip.8-5-2TH1-9.sbn
SIP41.8-5-2S.loads
term41.default.loads
term61.default.loads
XMLDefault.cnf.xml
SEP[_MAC-ADDR_].cnf.xml

I provide samples of the last two files on the blog post mentioned earlier.
The last file, that starts with SEP, should contain the actual mac address
of the phone you are trying to provision.  So, for example, it would be
SEP0003C9DD5624.cnf.xml, if the mac address of your phone was
0003.C9DD.5624.  The example files are pretty much all you need, just go
through them and change any location specific variables (such as _USER_,
_IPADDR_, or _PASSWD_) to the proper values for your environment.

Once you've got your tftp server setup properly with all of the appropriate
config files, plug your phone in and follow the instructions at the bottom
part of my blog post that explain how to get the phone reflashed to the SIP
image and registered to your asterisk server.
