Troubleshooting


Why does the phone display "Network unavailable"?


1.Ensure that the Ethernet cable is plugged into the Internet port on the phone and the Ethernet cable is not loose.
2.Ensure that the switch or hub in your network is operational.


Why doesn't the phone display time and date correctly?


Check if you have configured the phone to obtain the time and date from the SNTP server automatically. If the phone fails to connect to the SNTP server, you need to configure the time and date manually.


Why the phone can't auto-provision successful?


1.First, the Bicom provision method is option66, you should make sure that your phone's option 66 is on.
2.If you have turned on the option 66,but the phone do not provision successfully,then you should check your phone whether turn on the PNP or not;PNP provision method priority is higher than option 66.
