Telephone power is interrupted while the telephone is saving the application file and the TFTP or HTTP application stops responding.

The DHCP server indicates the 4600 Series IP Telephone reports itself as a Token Ring device, and refuses to provide the telephone an address.

CAUSE: The TFTP or HTTP server stops responding if power is interrupted while a telephone is saving the application file.

RESOLUTION: Restart the TFTP or HTTP server, as applicable.

CAUSE: Early versions of the 4600 Series IP Telephones erroneously report being a Token Ring device. With most DHCP servers, this does not matter. Some LINUX servers, however, refuse to issue addresses to Ethernet devices reporting to be Token Ring devices.

RESOLUTION: Administer the DHCP server to delete all MAC and IP Addresses associated with Lucent Technologies or Avaya, or allow the associated DHCP leases to expire.
