2. Loading the Stored
Phone Image
The Cisco Unified IP Phone has non-volatile
Flash memory in which it stores firmware images
and user-defined preferences. At startup, the
phone runs a bootstrap loader that loads a phone
image stored in Flash memory. Using this image,
the phone initializes its software and hardware. Resolving Startup
