Creating a New Configuration File

If you continue to have problems with a particular phone that other suggestions in this chapter do not resolve, the configuration file may be corrupted.

To create a new configuration file, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose Device > Phone > Find to locate the phone experiencing problems.

Step 2 Choose Delete to remove the phone from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.

Step 3 Add the phone back to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. See the “Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database” section on page 2-7for details.

Step 4 Power cycle the phone:

•If the phone receives power from an external power source, unplug the Ethernet cable from the Network port on the phone, then unplug the power supply from the DC adaptor port on the phone. Next, reconnect the power supply and then reconnect the Ethernet cable.

Caution Always unplug the upstream Ethernet cable from the phone before unplugging the power supply. Unplugging the power supply before unplugging the upstream Ethernet cable could result in a service interruption on the network.

•If the phone receives inline power, unplug the cable from the Network port on the phone and then plug it back in.
