Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Resolving Startup Problems

Symptom: The Cisco Unified IP Phone Does Not Register with Cisco

Unified Communications Manager

If the phone proceeds past the first stage of the startup process (LED buttons flashing on and off) but

continues to cycle through the messages displaying on the LCD screen, the phone is not starting up

properly. The phone cannot successfully start up unless it is connected to the Ethernet network and it

has registered with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.

These sections can assist you in determining the reason the phone is unable to start up properly:

•

Identifying Error Messages, page 9-3

•

Checking Network Connectivity, page 9-3

•

Verifying TFTP Server Settings, page 9-3

•

Verifying IP Addressing and Routing, page 9-4

•

Verifying DNS Settings, page 9-4

•

Verifying Cisco Unified Communications Manager Settings, page 9-4

•

Cisco Unified Communications Manager and TFTP Services Are Not Running, page 9-4

•

Creating a New Configuration File, page 9-5

•

Registering the Phone with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, page 9-6

Identifying Error Messages

As the phone cycles through the startup process, you can access status messages that might provide you

with information about the cause of a problem. See the

“Status Messages Screen” section on page 7-3

for instructions about accessing status messages and for a list of potential errors, their explanations, and

their solutions.

Checking Network Connectivity

If the network is down between the phone and the TFTP server or Cisco Unified Communications

Manager, the phone cannot start up properly. Ensure that the network is currently running.

Verifying TFTP Server Settings

You can determine the IP address of the TFTP server used by the phone by pressing the

Settings

button

on the phone, choosing

Network Configuration,

and scrolling to the

TFTP Server 1

option.

If you have assigned a static IP address to the phone, you must manually enter a setting for the TFTP

Server 1 option. See the

“Network Configuration Menu” section on page 4-5

If you are using DHCP, the phone obtains the address for the TFTP server from the DHCP server. Check

the IP address configured in Option 150.

You can also enable the phone to use an alternate TFTP server. Such a setting is particularly useful if

the phone was recently moved from one location to another. See the

“Network Configuration Menu”

section on page 4-5

for instructions.
