Cisco 7962 refuses IP, how to solve?

[thomaswuyts]

Dear members,

I have bought a Cisco 7962 IP phone second hand for a few bucks to experiment with. Offcourse is the phone reset to factory defaults when i got these. So first i have to install a firmware via an TFTP server.

So i did it with TFTPD64 with the integrated DHCP server. It gives out its IP address via DHCP request. After few seconds it gives a message: "IP removed from ARP table" and again and again. So i tried other DHCP servers and routers it still doesnt get an IP address working. 

I also tested out the POE injector if it gives problem, but everything works.

I've searched the internet for different solutions, tested out everything. Can someone give the solution or maybe better give me a tip how i can solve this.

Thanks in advance!

Give a static ip and see if it works

First of all, thanks for your reply!

I did give it an static ip via dhcp. But i cant access an settings menu on the phone.
