Configuration Menus on the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 Series

Unlocking and Locking Options

Configuration options that can be changed from a phone are locked by default to prevent users from making changes that could affect the operation of a phone. You must unlock these options before you can change them.

When options are inaccessible for modification, a locked padlock icon appears on the configuration

menus. When options are unlocked and accessible for modification, an unlocked padlock icon appears on these menus.

To unlock or lock options, press **#. This action either locks or unlocks the options, depending on the previous state.

Note If a Settings Menu password has been provisioned, SIP phones present an “Enter password” prompt after you enter **#.

Make sure to lock options after you have made your changes.

Caution Do not press **# to unlock options and then immediately press **# again to lock options. The phone will interpret this sequence as **#**, which will reset the phone. To lock options after unlocking them, wait at least 10 seconds before you press **# again.

•To enter a period (for example, in an IP address), press the . (period) softkey or press * on the keypad.

•Press the << softkey if you make a mistake. This softkey deletes the character to the left of the cursor.

•Press the Cancel softkey before pressing the Save softkey to discard any changes that you have made.
