Getting Started
The 6863i must be set up and configured prior to its first use. This section describes phone behavior and start up screens
you may see when the phone is first plugged in, or when it is restarted.
Plugging in and Starting the Phone
The 6863i automatically begins the start up sequence as soon as it is connected. The phone goes through this process the
first time you plug in your phone and every time you restart your phone.
Note:
Some start up screens only appear the first time you connect your phone, or if your phone has been factory defaulted.
The phone displays the following startup screens:
During the first start up, the 6863i phone attempts to contact the Redirection and Configuration Server (rcs.aastra.com)
for current server information. No personal information is transmitted from the phone during this process.
The 6863i phone may also look for configuration servers on your local network (press 4Skip to continue without check-
ing for servers).
If appropriate servers are found they are listed for you to select from by scrolling down to view the complete list. (Press
