asterisk users - Jul 2004 - how to configure my cisco 7960?!

hi everybody,

just tried to install my cisco 7960 - but without much success :-(

I want to set it up as a sip phone - but I can not setup the phone's IP 
address...
after plugging it in it says "Configuring IP" - I unlocked it and 
entered the "Network Configuration". I can see the edit-buttons but
when
I trie to press then it says "That key is not active here"

so how can I tell the phone the IP of my tftp-server when the phone 
doesn't let me adjust it's settings?!

thanks

Turn off dhcp first. Option 25 in network configuration.

Have your dhcp server tell it when it picks up the ip address.

What sort of dhcp server are you running?

before you hit "network configuration" hit **# to unlock the
config
