Verifying the Phone Startup Process
Verifying the Phone Startup Process
After the Cisco Unified IP Phone has power connected to it, the phone begins its
startup process by cycling through these steps.
1. The handset light strip, Hold button, and Menu button flash on and off
simultaneously.
2. The LCD screen displays the Cisco Systems, Inc., copyright screen.
3. The LCD screen displays Configuring IP as the phone starts up.
4. The main LCD screen displays:
• Current date and time
• Primary directory number
• Softkeys
If the phone successfully passes through these stages, it has started up properly.
Otherwise, see to the
“Resolving Startup Problems” section on page 7-2 .
Configuring Startup Network Settings
If you are not using DHCP in your network, you must configure these network
settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone after installing the phone on the network:
• IP address
• IP subnet mask
• Default gateway IP address
• DNS server IP address
• TFTP server IP address
To do this, you must collect information about these network settings, and follow
the procedures defined in
Chapter 4, “Configuring Settings on the Cisco
Unified IP Phone.”
