Asterisk on Cisco 7940 Phone?

Has anyone done this yet?
I have Cisco SIP 8.x loaded
How do I set this up?
I assumed I would place the IP address to my asterisk server in the tftp setting.
But it still does not work.

What am I doing wrong?

Does something need to be activated on the asterisk server to enable this?

I have a tftp server running on the Asterisk boxes with these files in it and my DHCP server tells/gives the phone the IP of the tftp server (option 66 ip 192.168.5.10). So the phone knows to contact the TFTP server 192.168.5.10 to get its config.

(put your real MAC address in where it says MACADDRESS)

You can just manually enter the setting in the phone if you only have a few and did not want to setup a TFTP server and use the Cisco confg. files.

On the phone press the settings button (looks like a checkbox with a tick)
then go to Unlock Config the default password is cisco. Next go to the SIP configuration and Line 1 Settings and enter the details;

One Question. I think I am running firmware 8.2 in My phones. what are the benefits of 8.4, 8.6. Is 8.6 the latest? Where to get it on Cisco homepage is only 8.2 what I now of.
Also have anyone herd of any support for iax2 from Cisco phones?
