Table 5-1. Some Error Conditions in Operation of 4600 Series IP Telephones—Continued
Condition
The TFTP script file is
ignored or not used by
the telephone
Power to the telephone is interrupted while the
telephone is saving the application file and the TFTP
application hangs.
The DHCP server indicates the 4600 Series IP
Telephone reports itself as a Token Ring device, and
refuses to provide the telephone an address.
Error Conditions
5-6
AND the TFTP server is
a LINUX or UNIX
system.
Cause/Resolution
CAUSE: The telephone expects lines of
the script file to terminate with a
<Carriage Return><Line Feed>. Some
UNIX applications only terminate lines
with <Line Feed>. Editing the script file
with a UNIX-based editor can strip
<Carriage Return>s from the file,
causing the entire file to be treated as a
comment, and thus be ignored.
RESOLUTION: Edit the script file with a
®
Windows -based editor, or another
editor that does not strip out the
<Carriage Return>.
CAUSE: UNIX and LINUX systems use
case-sensitive addressing and file
labels.
RESOLUTION: Verify the file names
and path in the script file are accurately
specified.
CAUSE: The TFTP server hangs if
power is interrupted while a telephone is
saving the application file.
RESOLUTION: Restart the TFTP
server.
CAUSE: Early versions of the 4600
Series IP Telephones erroneously report
being a Token Ring device. With most
DHCP servers, this does not matter.
Some LINUX servers, however, will
refuse to issue addresses to Ethernet
devices reporting to be Token Ring
devices.
RESOLUTION: Administer the DHCP
server to delete all MAC and IP
addresses associated with Lucent
Technologies or Avaya, or allow the
associated DHCP leases to expire.
