Understanding Error Message Types
Several types of errors can occur while the handset is booting. If an error occurs, the handset
will inform you by displaying an error message. Errors can affect how the handset boots up. If
the error is fatal, the handset will not be able to boot until the error is resolved. If the error is
recoverable, the handset will continue to boot but the handset
’s configuration may change or be
incomplete.
Updater Error Messages
Most of the following errors will be logged to the handset
’s boot log. However, if you are having
trouble connecting to the provisioning server, the handset will likely not be able to upload the
boot log <MAC-boot.log
>
file to its provisioning server for later analysis.
Failed to get boot parameters via DHCP
The handset does not have an IP address and therefore cannot boot. Check the following items:
Is the 84-Series handset connected to the WLAN?
o
Does the AP signal strength indicator, at the top left of the handset display, show
connected to the WLAN, as shown below, or does it have a red X across the AP
signal strength bars?
o
A red X across the AP signal strength bars indicates the handset is not
connected to the WLAN. In this case, ensure the handset has the proper
parameters set. These are configured either during the initial SLIC configuration
with the USB cable or thru the handset keypad interface. Ensure the proper radio
is turned on and WLAN security with the AP is turned on and available.
Check the DHCP configuration.

Does the handset have an IP address on the right network subnet?
Check the IP, Subnet Mask & IP Gateway. Are they as expected?

DHCP is providing the 84-Series handset with the proper settings.
If yes, are the neighbor addresses in the right subnet as
expected?
