4602SW IP Telephone Description

Telephone Management and Troubleshooting

3

Introduction

The 4600-Series IP Telephones are relatively trouble-free. This chapter provides helpful information for:

  • Interpreting the different ringer tones you hear.
  • Personalizing your phone’s ringing pattern.
  • Interpreting the 4602/4602SW’s display symbols.
  • Testing your telephone to be sure it is operating correctly.
  • Basic Troubleshooting; this chart provides the most common problems an end user might encounter and suggested resolutions.
  • Resetting or power-cycling your phone, when Basic Troubleshooting does not resolve a problem.

For all other IP Telephone questions or problems, contact your System Administrator.

Interpreting Ringer Tones

As you become more familiar with your IP Telephone, you will recognize the various tones you hear in response to an incoming call or while using the handset. The chart below provides an overview of the tones you hear; check with your System Administrator to verify if the descriptions are accurate for your system.

Ringing Tones accompany an incoming call. Feedback Tones are those which you hear through the handset (receiver) or the speaker.

Personalizing Your Telephone's RingingTelephone Management and Troubleshooting Pattern

Personalizing Your Telephone's Ringing Pattern

The Select Ring feature lets you choose your own personalized ringing pattern from among eight different patterns.

Selecting a personalized ringing pattern

1. With the phone on-hook, press the Conference () button.

The current ringing pattern sounds and repeats every three seconds.

    1. Continue to press (and then release) the Conference (
    2. ) button to cycle through each of the eight ring patterns.
  1. To save a ringing pattern as it plays, do not continue to press the Conference ( ) button for at least seven seconds.

You hear the selected ringing pattern two more times, after which it is automatically saved. A confirmation tone (two rising tones) sounds and your new ringing pattern is set.

NOTE:

Going off-hook, receiving a call or losing power during ring pattern selection interrupts the process, and you must start over from Step 1.

Interpreting Display Icons

As you become more familiar with your IP Telephone’s display, you will recognize the icons or symbols associated with the state of a call or the state of the phone. The chart below provides an overview of the icons you may see; check with your System Administrator to verify if the descriptions are accurate for your system.

Testing Your Phone

The Test feature lets you verify that your telephone's lights and display are operating properly.

Testing the telephone's lights and display

With the telephone idle (on-hook), press the Mute ()button while dialing this sequence: 8 3 7 8 #.

The display should indicate the self-test has started then report if the test was successful or failed.

If nothing appears on the display and the phone is receiving power, your phone may need to be replaced. Contact your System Administrator for assistance or additional troubleshooting information.

Resetting and Power Cycling the IP Telephone

Reset your IP Telephone when other Troubleshooting suggestions do not correct the problem or after being advised to do so by your System Administrator.

CAUTION:

Use a Power Cycle only with the approval of your System Administrator and only when a reset does not resolve the problem. Power-cycling may cause stored information such as options and settings to be lost.

Resetting your phone

This basic reset procedure should resolve most problems.

  1. Press the Mute ( ) button.
  2. Using the dial pad, press the following keys in sequence: 73738#

The display shows the message “Reset values? * = no # = yes.”

3. Choose one of the following:
If you want to Then
Reset the phone without Press * (asterisk).
resetting any assigned values A confirmation tone sounds and the
display prompts “Restart phone? * =
no # = yes.”
Reset the phone and any Press # (the pound key).
previously assigned (programmed) values The display shows the message “Resetting values” while your IP
(Use this option only if your Telephone resets its programmed
phone has programmed, static values, such as the IP address, to its
values) default values, and re-establishes the
connection to the server. The display
then prompts “Restart phone? * = no
# = yes.

4. Press # to restart the phone or * to terminate the restart and restore the phone to its previous state.

NOTE:

Any reset/restart of your phone may take a few minutes.

Power cycling the phone

Use the power cycle with your System Administrator’s approval only if the basic or programmed reset procedure cannot be performed or does not correct the problem:

1. Unplug the phone and plug it back in.

The phone connection is re-established.

2. If power-cycling does not correct the problem, your System Administrator can perform a more severe power cycle routine by unplugging both the phone and the Ethernet cables.

WARNING:

Because the type of power cycle mentioned in Step 2 involves reprogramming certain values, it should only be performed by your System Administrator.
