Troubleshooting

Problem

Suggestion

 

 

My screen displays:

�� If you receive this error message, it usually indicates a configuration problem with your firewall

 

or router which prevents information from passing between the phone and the Internet.

 

�� We recommend that you forward TCP Port 5060 to the IP address of the ip8300, or configure

 

it as the DMZ host.To find the IP address of the ip8300, check the DHCP log for your router.

 

�� For detailed information on checking the DHCP logs, setting up port forwarding, or DMZ host

 

configuration, please refer to your router’s user manual or call the manufacturer for help.

 

�� Note: If no changes have been made to your router and the unit has worked previously, the server

 

that provides this information may be down temporarily. Please try it again at a later time.

 

 

My screen displays:

�� If you receive this error message, this indicates the ethernet cable is disconnected and/or your

 

router is not working properly.

 

�� Please check your computer to see if you are experiencing a service and/or router issue. If

 

your computer is connecting to the internet, please check the ethernet cable that is connected

 

from the phone base to the router. Remove it and then reconnect it. If you are still not getting

 

connection then you can try temporarily plugging the ethernet cable from the phone base

 

directly into your modem. If your phone connects to the INFO service when plugged directly

 

into the modem, there may be a problem with your router.

 

�� After you have tried the above information, please see the solution for Unable to communicate

 

with phone service in this Troubleshooting section.
