phone. To enable it, see the

phone.
"Call
These errors typically indicate that the phone has completed a
factory reset while 802.1X was enabled. A factory reset deletes
the shared secret, which is required for 802.1X authentication
and network access. To resolve this, you have two options:
Temporarily disable 802.1X on the switch.
•
Temporarily move the phone to a network environment that
•
is not using 802.1X authentication.
Once the phone starts up normally in one of these conditions,
you can access the 802.1X configuration menus and re-enter the
shared secret.
