Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone
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. These buttons flash on and off in sequence:
– Headset. (Only if the handset is off-hook when the phone powers up. Hang up the handset within
3 seconds to have the phone launch its secondary load. To continue with the primary load, leave
the handset off-hook.)
– Mute.
– Speaker.
2. Some or all of the line keys flash orange.
Caution If the line keys flash red in sequence after flashing yellow, do not power down the phone until the
sequence of red flashes completes. This sequence can take several minutes to complete.
3. Some or all of the line keys flash green.
Normally, this sequence takes just a few seconds. However, if the phone flash memory is erased or
the phone load is corrupted, the sequence of green flashes will continue while the phone begins a
software update procedure. If the phone performs this procedure, the following buttons light to
indicate progress:
– Headset—Phone is waiting for the network and completing CDP and DHCP configuration. (A
DHCP server must be available in your network.)
– Mute—Phone is downloading images from the TFTP server.
– Speaker—Phone is writing images to its flash memory.
4. The phone screen displays the Cisco Systems, Inc., logo screen.
5. These messages display as the phone starts:
– Verifying load (if the phone load does not match the load on the TFTP server). If this message
displays, the phone start up again and repeats step 1 through step 4 above.
– Configuring IP.
– Updating CTL.
– Updating Locale.
– Configuring Unified CM List.
– Registering.
6. The main phone screen displays:
– Current date and time
– Primary directory number
– Additional directory numbers and speed dial numbers, if configured
– Softkeys
If the phone successfully passes through these stages, it has started up properly. If the phone does not
start up properly, see the
“Resolving Startup Problems” section on page 9-1 .
