Error Conditions

5-6

The TFTP script file is
ignored or not used by
the telephone

AND the TFTP server is
a LINUX or UNIX
system.

CAUSE: The telephone expects lines of
the script file to terminate with a
. Some
UNIX applications only terminate lines
with . Editing the script file
with a UNIX-based editor can strip
s from the file,
causing the entire file to be treated as a
comment, and thus be ignored.

RESOLUTION: Edit the script file with a
Windows-based editor, or another editor
that does not strip out the Return>.

CAUSE: UNIX and LINUX systems use
case-sensitive addressing and file
labels.

RESOLUTION: Verify the file names
and path in the script file are accurately
specified.

Power to the telephone is interrupted while the
telephone is saving the application file and the TFTP
application hangs.

CAUSE: The TFTP server hangs if
power is interrupted while a telephone is
saving the application file.

RESOLUTION: Restart the TFTP
server.

The DHCP server indicates the 4600 Telephone
reports itself as a Token Ring device, and refuses to
provide the telephone an address.

CAUSE: Early versions of the 4600
Series Telephones erroneously report
being a Token Ring device. With most
DHCP servers, this does not matter.
Some LINUX servers, however, will
refuse to issue addresses to Ethernet
devices reporting to be Token Ring
devices.

RESOLUTION: Administer the DHCP
server to delete all MAC and IP
addresses associated with Lucent
Technologies or Avaya, or allow the
associated DHCP leases to expire.
