Upgrade 1100 series phones from UNISTIM to SIP firmware

When an 1100 series Nortel/Avaya phone boots from a fresh factory build, it will need its configuration data to be entered for it to work.  You can manually enter this information, but its so cumbersome I don't even want to explain it.

1100 series phones use TFTP to obtain their configuration files from a TFTP server.
By placing appropriate firmware files and configuration files in this location, we can upgrade the phone to the SIP firmware and get its configuration started.

UPGRADING TO SIP

1.  Download the SIP firmware .BIN file from the Avaya Support website and put it in the TFTP folder you've configured. 

At the time of writing, the SIP version is 004.04.26.00, so I've successfully tested with that release with Asterisk.  Newer versions may work, but have not been tested by author.

2. Create a file 1120e.cfg in your TFTP directory and put in the following lines.

3. Save the file.

4. Create a file 1120eSIP.cfg in your TFTP directory and put in the following lines.

5. REBOOT Your phone.

The phone should reboot and obtain a base configuration from your TFTP folder.  Once the update is completed, you'll see something like the following on your phone.
