  Status Menu
IP address released The phone has been configured to release 
its IP address.
The phone remains idle until it is power cycled or you 
reset the DHCP address. See the “Network 
Configuration Menu” section on page 4-5 for details.
Load Auth Failed The phone could not load a configuration 
file.
Check that:
 • A good version of the configuration file exists on 
the applicable server.
 • The phone load file being downloaded has not 
been altered or renamed.
 • The phone load type is compatible; for example, 
you cannot place a DEV load configuration file 
on a REL-signed phone. 
Load ID incorrect Load ID of the software file is of the 
wrong type.
Check the load ID assigned to the phone (from Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager, choose Device > 
Phone). Verify that the load ID is entered correctly. 
Load rejected HC The application that was downloaded is 
not compatible with the phone’s 
hardware.
Occurs if you were attempting to install a version of 
software on this phone that did not support hardware 
changes on this newer phone.
Check the load ID assigned to the phone (from Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager, choose Device > 
Phone). Re-enter the load displayed on the phone. 
See the “Firmware Versions Screen” section on 
page 7-11 to verify the phone setting.
Load Server is invalid Indicates an invalid TFTP server 
IP address or name in the Load Server 
option.
The Load Server setting is not valid. The Load Server 
specifies a TFTP server IP address or name from 
which the phone firmware can be retrieved for 
upgrades on the phones.
Check the Load Server entry (from Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager Administration, choose 
Device > Phone).
No default router DHCP or static configuration did not 
specify a default router.
 • If the phone has a static IP address, verify that the 
default router has been configured. See the 
“Network Configuration Menu” section on 
page 4-5 section for details.
 • If you are using DHCP, the DHCP server has not 
provided a default router. Check the DHCP server 
configuration.
No DNS server IP A name was specified but DHCP or static 
IP configuration did not specify a DNS 
server address.
 • If the phone has a static IP address, verify that the 
DNS server has been configured. See the 
“Network Configuration Menu” section on 
page 4-5 section for details.
 • If you are using DHCP, the DHCP server has not 
provided a DNS server. Check the DHCP server 
configuration.
