IP Phone 2004 – Settings.

With Manual provisioning, Nortel IP Telephone settings must be manually entered before it will work with the system. If a phone does not automatically register and function, or when adding a new set, edit the telephones local configuration settings as shown.

Follow these steps to access the i2004 local configuration:

1 Restart the telephone by disconnecting and then reconnecting the line cord. After about four seconds, the top light flashes and the text NORTEL appears on the screen.

2 Immediately, when the greeting appears, quickly press the four soft keys, one at a time, from left to right. Soft keys are located directly under the display. These keys must be pressed one after the other within 1.5 seconds or the telephone will not go into configuration mode.

When you have entered all the configuration information, the telephone reboots and attempts to connect to the call server S1 address. The message Locating Server appears on the display. If the connection is successful, the message changes to Connecting to Server after about 15 seconds. Initialisation may take several minutes. Do not disturb the telephone during this time. If S1 is not found, the phone will try S2.

Once the telephone connects to a valid call server, it registers, and the display shows the DN number and a date display. The six feature keys at the top of the display are also labelled (as programmed). The telephone is ready to use. The configuration will remain after a power failure.
