The phone uses an Ethernet switch (not a hub) to connect the three accessory ports and the phone itself to the LAN. Therefore, the ZIP4x4 can control the QoS to ensure that voice packets always have priority. Further, when the phone is not in use, the ZIP4x4 supports wire speed switching between the LAN (network) and the accessory ports.

Press the Menu, Esc, or Enter buttons to exit this state. If you typed an IP address, or an FDQN that was resolved, the ZIP4x4 sends up to 99 messages to the host, each one second apart. Each message has 24 bytes of optional data (so the total message length is 32 bytes) and the phone increments the sequence numbers starting with 0 after power on and continuing to increment the numbers until 64K.
The phone continues to send messages. When it receives a response to a message it updates the second and third rows of the display. The ZIP4x4 continues in this way until it has sent 99 messages or until you press the Esc button to stop the process. When you stop the process, the phone waits the time-out period for any reply that it might be expecting.

A p p e n d i x B LED Summary Call Appearance Buttons The LEDs on the call appearance buttons can be off or can show red, green, or orange. Figure B-1 shows what the LEDs show for various phases of a call. The figure shows where you can find more details about that state.
ZIP4x4 User’s Manual The time reference for all LEDs is the same, so that the first quarter second for each LED starts simultaneously. This provides a more uniform display. For example, if the phone receives a call on call appearance 1 it will flash its LED. If another call comes in 250 ms later, the LED on the second call appearance button will flash synchronously with the first LED.
B. LED Summary B.1.5 Park and Pickup Button The LED is lit continuously red after you press the Park or Pickup button. Enter a two digit number. The phone turns off the LED. See section 7.6 on page 64 and section 7.7 on page 66 for details.
This appendix describes the function, composition, and implementation of ZIP4x4 configuration files. Configuration File Types The ZIP4x4 phone obtains its configuration from two separate files: the common configuration file and the specific configuration file. C.2.1 Common Configuration File The common configuration file sets parameters on all phones within an enterprise that are to have the same values.
<MAC address>.cfg For example, 0050C2180FD8.cfg is the specific configuration file for a ZIP4x4 phone that has the MAC address 00:50:C2:18:0F:D8. Configuration File Format Common and specific configuration files are similar in format and composition. Most configuration parameters can be set in either file. Configuration files are stored in ASCII format.
[NET_CONFIG] use_dhcp=yes tftp_cfg_dir=./ZIP4x4 Figure C-2 Configuration File Example The name of the parameter and the parameter value must be on the same line. The name of the parameter is not case sensitive; it can be entered in either upper or lower case. However, parameter values are case sensitive.
Page 174
Valid settings range from 0 to 63. Default value is 0. ip_addr Parameter is static address assigned to the ZIP4x4. Used for section 9.6.2 on manual configuration when use_dhcp is set to ‘no’ or DHCP does page 133 not return an address (DHCP option 50).
Page 175
This parameter must be set in the common configuration file in order for the phone to read and process its specific configuration file. The default value of ./ZIP4x4 is valid only if your TFTP server contains a directory by that name and if the specific configuration file resides in that directory.

Page 178
C.4.2.1 Mandatory Fields The proxy_addr parameter must be set in order for the ZIP4x4 phone to function properly. The proxy server receives SIP requests from the phone and forwards them to the next intermediate device in the network. This parameter sets the address of the proxy server for the phone and provides no meaningful default if it is omitted from the configuration files.
