[cisco-voip] increasing Maximum Serving Count TFTP service parameter

[Erick B.]

How about device -> phone, phone type  contains 794 as search criteria
then reset from those results.... maybe 50 at a time?

You might be taxing the server with it doing that many TFTP transfers
at a time also. I forgot the parameter to increase it offhand, but
I've seen 100 resets and some fail to upgrade due to TFTP timeouts due
to amount of TFTP activity at once, etc.
