From what I can tell on the Polycom website the SP 501 phones only go up to the 4.1.4 bootrom. I'm currently using 4.1.2 with 3.1.2 firmware.
I can see the boot server name being passed in the dhcp offer: Option: (t=66,l=11) TFTP Server Name = "my-sipx-system" I just connected with a tftp client from an other system and tried to fetch a file. I get "transfer timed out." On Sun 03.Jan.10 14:13, Tony Graziano wrote: >Does bootrom 4.2 work for your model phone?
