In my case, we had a full Nortel/Avaya CS1K deployment on hand for our office, so I have a licence server for all our softphones and VPN etc. Maybe you do as well. So even though I am pointing my Nortel phones at asterisk, I still point them at the licence server via TFTP. This opens up a whole bunch of new features that the stock phone won't let you do (at least wouldn't for me)
For those of you who want to do this, here's what I do:
in my 1140eSIP.cfg file, I have this additional entry:
[LICENSING]
#need this for "Advanced features"
DOWNLOAD_MODE AUTO
VERSION 000003
FILENAME ipctoken.rev2.cfg
This sets up the licence file to be downloaded by your phone.
Now refer to my post about autoprovisiong 1140/1120 phones with asterisk if you haven't already.
example for SIP0019E1F2A126.cfg that would be in your TFTP server. Your 1100 series phone by default looks for this file when it has the SIP firmware build on it.
