Error and Log Reporting

error state can be a relatively long transient state or a steady state.

The Error Status Code is a 4 digit number. The first digit indicates the error class: 1xxx represents normal
operation states while 2xxx— 9xxx represent error states that must be fixed for the unit to function
properly.

The message waiting light LED has the following Blink Rate Definitions:

ON—LED remains solid on (indicates voicemail, no errors)

OFF—LED remains solid off

LONG (Long On)—3.0 second on, 1 second off continuously

FAST—0.125 second on, 0.125 second off continuously

SLOW—0.5 second on, 0.5 second off continuously

Q.

Why do the line status lights on my Linksys IP phone occasionally flash red?

A.

A flashing red line status light on the Linksys IP phone indicates a local LAN issue. If statistics on
the switch show a high number of collisions on the ports connected to the Linksys IP phone, you
can reduce the speed on the ports to 10mb half duplex to eliminate the collision problems.

Q.

Why can I not leave a voicemail message longer than 30 seconds?

A.

If you are using 1.0.0.3 firmware, upgrade SPA400 to version 1.0.0.5 or greater. The upgrade will
let you leave a message of 60 seconds.

Q.

Why does the phone does not turn on or boot?

A.

Check all connections into the phone (5 Volt Power supply, RJ 45 Ethernet connection, and handset
cord).
