You might want to do a factory reset if you haven't to ensure that the old user's passwords and so on aren't going to bother you. Make sure you have the SIP firmware. I don't know how your Xterminals do it, but the Cisco phones look for a "option 66" result in the DHCP response. This tells it what server to contact. Using a different TFTP server to any other that you might have set that depends on what DHCP server you use. On the Cisco router I have I can create a separate pool for this: ip dhcp pool cisco-ip-7905 host 10.0.3.3 255.255.0.0 client-identifier 0100.xxxx.xxxx.xx option 66 ascii "10.0.2.5" If you can go for the TFTP method that is recommended, since the config file is a lot more customisable and you won't lose the settings if you need to factory reset. It also makes provisioning 3 phones easier (just copy the file, edit it and run it through the conversion tool). A quick Google reveals a few tutorials and a source of SIP firmware and the config file converter.
