Symptom: Cisco IP Phone ResettingOnce a Cisco IP Phone has properly started up and registered wi th
Cisco C allManager, you can reset it, forcing it to go through the startup process.

phone has to load a new image, it has to restart itself and re-register with
Cisco C allManager using the new image
However, if users report that their phones appear to be resetting during calls or
while idle on their desk, you should investigate the cause. If the network
connection and CiscoCallManager connection are stable, the Cisco IP Phone
should not reset on its own.
Typically, the cause of the phones resetting can be categorized by problems
connecting to the Ethernet network or to CiscoCallManager. These sections can
help you identify the cause in your network:
