Note:
For first time installations, download will occur without unplugging and
plugging the AC adaptor from/into the telephone.
At initial installation, when ENTER is pressed to save the SPID, the telephone
automatically requests a download from the C.O. switch. This downloading
function will work on switches that support parameter downloading
(including Nortel' s proprietary version – SPM).
Although each service provider can decide the number of characters and
format of the SPID, most have agreed on a simple format.

This format, referred to as generic SPID format, is likely to be the format used
by your service provider.
The generic SPID format consists of 14 digits: (10 digit Directory Number) +
4 digits (usually "0101").
The first component is the main telephone number of the telephone, including
the area code. For example, 919 796 2000.
The most frequently assigned SPID will be the following: NPA XXX XXXX
0101.
If your service provider has not supplied a SPID, try the format shown above.
If it does not work, contact your service provider or System Administrator.
Occasionally, if the switch is very busy, the download may be delayed for a
short time. The telephone will continue to request a download until it is
successful, or until it receives a message from the switch indicating that a
manual configuration is needed.
The telephone also supports two other functions associated with parameter
downloading.
1. Service Profile Change Notification. If a request is made to change your
service configuration, when that change is completed in the central
office, the switch typically notifies the telephone that a change has
occurred. The telephone then requests a download from the switch to
update its configuration. This occurs automatically. The switch will
automatically initiate a download to the telephone when it is idle.
If a manual configuration has been used to reassign features, the settings
that differ from the downloaded settings will be removed.
2. The telephone provides a manual download function that allows for a
"request a download" if the information in the telephone seems incorrect.
Instructions for manual download are in the Key Attribute section.
Warning:
Do not change your SPID unless told to do so by your service provider. In
most cases, digital sets will not work without the correct SPID number. If the
SPID number is wrong, the set displays the message SPID NG. Enter the
correct SPID number, then manually request a download. See Menu OPTIONS
9 for a description of the manual download process.
