Resetting or Restoring the Cisco Unified IP Phone
There are two general methods for resetting or restoring the Cisco Unified IP Phone:
Performing a Basic Reset
Performing a basic reset of a Cisco Unified IP Phone provides a way to recover if the phone experiences an error and provides a way to reset or restore various configuration and security settings.
Table 2 describes the ways to perform a basic reset. You can reset a phone with any of these operations after the phone has started up. Choose the operation that is appropriate for your situation.
Performing a Factory Reset
When you perform a factory reset of the Cisco Unified IP Phone, the following information is erased or reset to its default value:
•
User configuration settings—Reset to default values
•
Network setup settings—Reset to default values
•
Call histories—Erased
•
Locale information—Reset to default values
Before you perform a factory reset, ensure that the following conditions are met:
•
The phone must be on a DHCP-enabled network.
•
A valid TFTP server must be set in DHCP option 150 or option 66 on the DHCP server.
To perform a factory reset of a phone, you can press the Applications button and choose Admin Settings > Reset Settings > All.
Alternatively, you can also follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
While powering up the phone, press and hold #.
Step 2
When the light on the mute button and handset light strip turns off and all other lights (line button, headset button, speakerphone button and select button) stay green, press 123456789*0# in sequence.
