Usage Notes
When security is implemented, Cisco

network, which can be automatically
identified from the DHCP server. If
you want a phone to use a TFTP
server other than the one specified by
the DHCP server, you must manually
assign TFTP server from the
Network Configuration menu on the
phone.
Cisco Unified IP Phones transmit and
receive RTP streams, which utilize
UDP.
