Accessing Status Information
Erasing the Locally Defined SIP Settings
When you erase the locally defined SIP settings, the values are reset to the defaults.
Note
If your system has been set up to have the phones retrieve their SIP parameters via a TFTP server, you
must edit the configuration file in which a parameter is defined to delete the parameter. When deleting
a parameter, remove the variable in the file or change its value to a null value ““ ”” or
“UNPROVISIONED”. If both the variable and its value are removed, the phone uses the setting for that
variable that it has stored in Flash memory.
Note
If the
telnet_level
parameter is set to allow privileged commands to be executed, the entire SIP
configuration can be erased. Use the erase_protflash command so that the phone can retrieve its config
files.

Accessing Status Information
There are several types of status information that you can access via the settings key. The information
that you can obtain via the settings key can aid in system management.
To access status information, select settings and then select Status from the Settings menu. From the
Status menu, the following three options are available:
•
Status Messages—Displays diagnostic messages.
•
Network Status—Displays performance messages.

In addition to the status messages available via the Setting Status menu, you can also obtain status
messages for a current call.
