What you do on Cisco IP phones that are not on a “voip aware” network is force the “Alt TFTP Server” setting. The address of the TFTP server is given by DHCP option 150. Since OS X does not support options (yet), you have to hand set this ein every phone. First..on the phone itself, set the “Use Alt TFTP Server” option to yes. Then put in the address of your call manager server into the “Alt TFTP Server” option. Then reboot the phone. It should get an IP from your server, then hit the Call Manager and download it’s config.

If you want to make the phone boot faster, also disable Voice VLAN..so it doesn’t go looking for one on startup.
