Suggested Solution
Unless your System Administrator has
already initialized your telephone, you may
experience a delay of several minutes before
it becomes operational. Upon plug-in, your
telephone immediately begins downloading
its operational software, its IP address and
any special features programmed by your
System Administrator from the server to
which it is connected. Report any delay of
more than 8-10 minutes to your System
Administrator.
Allow a few minutes for re-initialization after
unplugging, powering down the phone,
server problems or other power interruption.
