Phone initialization
Before you begin
You must do the following:
• Configure the file server.
• Download and extract the firmware zip file to your file server.
• Configure the
46xxsettings.txt
file.
Procedure
1. Set up the phone hardware.
2. Plug the Ethernet cable to the phone.
The phone powers up and starts to initialize.
3. The initialization procedure consists of the following processes:
a. The phone checks for LLDP messages.
b. The phone sends a DHCP DISCOVER message to discover the DHCP server in the
network and invokes the DHCP process.
If the phone does not receive a provisioning server address from the configuration
setup, the phone displays the Configure Provision Server screen.
c. In the Configure Provision Server screen, press the
Config
soft key and enter the
address of the provisioning server. The provisioning server address can be in the form
of IP address or a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). To enter the dot symbol (.)
in the field, press the alphanumeric soft key to toggle to the alphanumeric mode.
d. The phone verifies the VLAN ID, and starts tagging the data and voice packets
accordingly.
e. The phone queries the HTTP server directory defined by HTTPDIR, to find the
upgrade and the
Settings
file. If the files cannot be found, the phone reverts to
looking into the root directory of the HTTP server.
f. The phone gets the upgrade script file, the
Settings
file, the language files, and any
firmware updates.
• If configured to use simple certificate enrollment protocol (SCEP), the phone
downloads a valid device certificate.
• The phone displays only the
Admin
soft key for 15 seconds, and then the
Admin
and the
Login
soft keys.
Note:
For subsequent restarts, if the user login is automatic and the supplied
credentials are valid, the
Login
soft key is not displayed.
