Keeping an IP telephone active

In some circumstances, you may want to have your IP telephone stay active after it is physically
disconnected. For example, when your i2050 software phone is turned off, you may still want
callers to go to your voicemail. To keep your IP telephone active and retain DN-specific features,
activate the Keep DN alive feature.

To keep an IP telephone active after it is disconnected

1
In the Element Manager, go to Telephony, Sets, Active Sets.
2 Click the Capabilities and Preferences tab, and IP Terminal details.
3 Select the Keep DN alive checkbox.
Deselecting the checkbox allows the DN record to become inactive if the IP telephone is
disconnected.

Moving IP telephones

IP telephones retain their DN when they are moved to a new location on the same subnet. The
following instructions apply to Nortel IP telephones.

To move an IP telephone without changing the DN

1 Disconnect the power from the IP telephone or 3-port switch.
2 Disconnect the network connection.
3
