Status Menu

Debugging of single phone may be possible through an examination of the

phone’s status menu. Press Menu, select Status, and then press the Select soft

key.
Under the Platform selection, you can get details on the phone’s serial number

or MAC address, the current IP address, the bootROM version, the application

version, the name of the configuration files in use, and the address of the boot

server.
In the Network menu, the phone will provide information about TCP/IP

setting, Ethernet port speed, connectivity status of the PC port, and statistics

on packets sent and received since last boot. This would also be a good place

to look and see how long it’s been since the phone rebooted. The Call Statistics

screen shows packets sent and received on the last call.
The Lines menu will give you details about the status of each line that has been

configured on the phone.
Finally, the Diagnostics menu offers a series of hardware tests to verify correct

operation of the microphone, speaker, handset, and third party headset, if

present. It will also let you test that each of the keys on the phone is working,

and it will display the function that has been assigned to each of the keys in the

configuration. This is also where you can test the LCD for faulty pixels.
In addition to the hardware tests, the Diagnostics menu has a series of

real-time graphs for CPU, network and memory utilization that can be helpful

in diagnosing performance issues.
