I've not tried the button pressing options, I went straight for the web
interface having added the MAC addresses to my Bind and DHCP configurations to
get 'static' addressing :)
Firmware upgrade I'm working on at the moment. It doesn't seem to want to play
ball with my tftp-hpa server, although I've not worked out which end the
problem is yet! The firmware is pretty old (Program-- 1.1.6.27 Bootloader--
1.1.6.5). I'll have a play with the codecs too. I don't think iLBC is supported
by my provider, but I could change that once I get an Asterisk box up and
running - just need a little spare time to build and configure a new server!!
