Verifying the Phone Startup Process
After the Cisco Unified IP Phone has power connected to it, the phone begins its
startup process by cycling through the following steps.
1. These buttons blink or flash on and off:
– Handset light strip
– Hold button
– Menu button
2. The screen displays the Cisco Systems, Inc., logo screen.
3. These messages appear as the phone starts:
– Configuring IP
– Updating CTL
– Verifying Load
– Configuring CM List
– Registering
4. The main screen displays:
– Current date and time
– Directory number
– Softkeys
If the phone successfully passes through these stages, it has started up properly.
If the phone does not start up properly, see the
“Resolving Startup Problems”
section on page 9-2.

If you are not using DHCP in your network, you must configure these network
settings on the Cisco
Unified IP Phone after installing the phone on the network:
