Local Administrative Options Using the Telephone Dialpad
The local procedures you use most often as an administrator are:
●CLEAR - Remove all administered values, user-specified data, option settings, etc. and
return a telephone to its initial “out of the box” default values.
●DEBUG - Enable or disable debug mode for the button module serial port.
●GROUP - Set the group identifier on a per-phone basis.
●RESET - Reset all system values and system initialization values except AUTH, NVAUTH,
registration extension, and password to the default values. Also resets the 802.1X identity
and password to the default values.
●VIEW - Review the 1600 IP Telephone system parameters to verify current values and file
versions.
●Ethernet (Hub) Interface Enable/Disable - Enable or disable the Ethernet hub locally.

Clear Procedure

Sometimes, you might want to remove all administered values, user-specified data, and option
settings. Essentially, you want to return a telephone to its initial “clean slate” or out of the box
condition. This is usually done when passing a telephone to a new, dedicated user when the
user’s L O G O F F option is not sufficient. For example, a new user is assigned the same
extension, but requires different permissions than the previous user.
The C L E A R option erases all administered data—static programming, file server and call
server programming, and user settings including Contact button labels and locally programmed
Feature button labels, and restores all such data to default values. The C L E A R option does
not affect the software load itself. If you have upgraded the telephone, the telephone retains the
latest software. Once you have cleared a telephone, you can administer it normally.
!CAUTION:
CAUTION: This procedure erases all administered data, without any possibility of recovering
the data.
Use the following procedure to clear the telephone of its administrative, user-assigned and
options values.
1. While the telephone is on-hook and idle, press the following sequence of keys on the
faceplate of the telephone:
