Steps to be performed by user after phone displays login and extension prompts:
1. Enter a new extension and press
OK
.
Note:
Unnamed registration is registering a phone with the call server without entry of an
extension or password. You must set the UNNAMEDSTAT parameter to enable
unnamed registration. phones that are registered unnamed have limited functionality.
All IP phones display the following:
Login
Enter Password
Enter Password and press Enter or OK
2. To register the phone without the extension or password (unnamed), press
Log In
or make
no entry and wait 60 seconds.
You can see the extension as you enter the extension, but the password is displayed as
stars (*). The system determines whether the extension is in use.
Note:
If multiple gatekeepers are configured for the phone, the phone stops at the discovery
mode in the following conditions:
• The login credentials are incorrect.
• The phone is logged in. One of the gatekeepers is not reachable, because of an
upgrade or a network outage. In the discovery mode, press
Reset
. The phone
deletes the credentials from the memory, reboots, and displays the login page.
In the registration mode, the phone restarts, but it does not delete the login
credentials.
When this process is complete, you can hear a dial tone when you press the
Speaker
button or lift the handset. The dial tone indicates that the IP phone was installed
successfully.
Understanding Unnamed registration
In an IP phone, when you register with a call server, and receive limited service, without requiring
an extension and password entry, this functionality is called as Unnamed registration. Unnamed
registration is useful in the following environments:
• “Hot-desking” environments where a time gap exists between one user logging out and
another user logging in on the same deskphone.
