Looking at the directory paths you are doing this correctly. I know however this feature was implemented in a particular firmware release so you may need to upgrade to a later version of the IP Phone Boot, Firmware & Language files.

I have just checked some Ethereal traces and the directory structure you list is correct:

GET /172.28.37.0-25/dbc42x02/d42x02-config.txt HTTP/1.0\r\n

The phones also have a priority list as well regarding what file is requested. They will attempt 1st the Domain Name method (DNS suffix first and then the TDN if received in Option 43), 2nd is the Subnet Method and 3rd is the root.

So for example if the IP Phone receives DNS Suffix 'company.com', a TDN of 'region1.company.com' and an IP address of 192.168.10.1/24, then it will try:

http://[sw-server]/company.com/dbc42x02/d42x02-config.txt

If there is no file found (404), then it will try:

http://[sw-server]/region1.company.com/dbc42x02/d42x02-config.txt

If that fails then it will try:

http://[sw-server]/192.168.10.0-24/dbc42x02/d42x02-config.txt

And if that fails it will finally try:

http://[sw-server]/dbc42x02/d42x02-config.txt

You do have Version 2 IP Phones don't you? If they are older version 1 phones the file is 'd4-config.txt' and they use a different folder name and firmware etc.

you need to add a MIME type for .DAT extension in your IIS server, otherwise phones won't be able to download the firmware. the first test you must do is to browse yourself to the path the phone would do (like ADB100 explained)...
