Appendix C: Scenarios for the Restart
Process

Restart Scenarios

The sequence of the restart process depends on the status of the boot and application files on the TFTP
server and those already downloaded to the phone. This appendix explains the different scenarios
possible.
All of the following start-up processes involve the same initial steps as the phone negotiates with the
DHCP and the TFTP server.
1. After power is applied the phone displays Restarting....
2. The phone then displays Initializing.
3. The phone displays Loading whilst either the application file (if there is one) or the boot code is
uncompressed into RAM. Since this takes a while, asterisks, then periods, then asterisks are
displayed on the second line to indicate that something is happening.
4. When control is passed to the code in RAM, the phone displays Starting.
5. The phone detects and displays the speed of the Ethernet interface in Mbps (that is 10 or 100).
The message No Ethernet is the LAN interface speed cannot be determined.
•
The Ethernet speed indicated is the LAN interface speed for both the telephone and any
attached PC.
6. The phone displays DHCP whilst it obtains IP address and other information from the LAN's
DHCP server. The number of elapsed seconds is incremented until DHCP successfully
completes.
• If the phone has been setup using static addressing (by pressing * when DHCP is shown),
it will skip DHCP and use the static address settings it was given.
• Note that uploading a new boot file at any time erases all static address information.
7. The phone displays TFTP whilst it waits for a response from the TFTP server. The phone then
displays 46XXUPGRADE.SCR whilst download the upgrade script TFTP server.
• The phone displays TFTP Error: Timed Out if it cannot locate TFTP server or upgrade
script file. If the phone has been previously installed it will continue with the existing files
in its memory.
8. After the upgrade script is loaded, the sequence depends on the status of the files currently held
in the phones memory compared to those listed in the upgrade script.
• Boot File Need Upgrading.
• No Application File or Application File Needs Upgrading.
• Correct Boot File and Application File Already Loaded.
