Are you trying to go right to 7.4? I had to install 6.3 first and then
I could install 7.4. Others have had to upgrade in version increments.
(ie from 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 to 7)

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 Can't be unlocked
OK...now that I've been able to get in to the phones, I have (yet
another) strange problem:
I've configured the phone with a Static IP for testing. TFTP server
settings are pointed at a known good TFTP server that other machines on
the network are able to access and GET files from. When the phone boots
up, it will appear on the network for about 5 pings worth of time, and
then dissappear, only to reappear about 20 pings later. The phone's
status message indicates a tftp server timeout. My tftp server's logs
do not indicate any TFTP activity.
The phones are Fw ver 3.1 MF.G2. (SCCP) I'm trying to convert them to
SIP
(obviously.)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
