Problem
If the network is down between the phone and either the TFTP server or Cisco Unified Communications
Manager, the phone cannot start up properly.
Solution
Ensure that the network is currently running.
TFTP Server Settings
Problem
The TFTP server settings may not be correct.
Solution
Check the TFTP settings. See
TFTP Settings, on page 87
.
IP Addressing and Routing
Problem
The IP addressing and routing fields may not be correctly configured.
Solution
You should verify the IP addressing and routing settings on the phone. If you are using DHCP, the DHCP
server should provide these values. If you have assigned a static IP address to the phone, you must enter these
values manually. See
DHCP Setting Verification, on page 87

Cisco CallManager and TFTP Services Are Not Running
Problem
If the Cisco CallManager or TFTP services are not running, phones may not be able to start up properly. In
such a situation, it is likely that you are experiencing a systemwide failure, and other phones and devices are
unable to start up properly.
Solution
If the Cisco CallManager service is not running, all devices on the network that rely on it to make phone calls
are affected. If the TFTP service is not running, many devices cannot start up successfully. For more
information, see
Start Service, on page 87
