Chapter 2 Getting Started
Using the Administration Web Server
Turning on the Phone
If you are using an external power source, instead of Power over Ethernet (PoE), plug the adapter to an
electrical outlet. Use only the adapter supplied for the specific phone.
• The phone executes a boot-up sequence when the power source is connected.
• During this sequence, the display first shows LINKSYS® or a customized message and then
“Initializing Network.”
• All of the lights on the phone flash.
• After the sequence, which should take about five seconds, the phone displays the standard menu for
the phone.
• The date, name, and number of the phone will display on the top line of the LCD screen.
At the bottom of the LCD screen, redial, dir, cfwd, and dnd are displayed over their associated soft
buttons. A small arrow appears next to dnd indicating that more menus can be accessed by pushing the
right side of the navigation button.
If the phone does not display the appropriate screen, verify the installation and connectivity. If these are
correct, try unplugging the phone and plugging it back in again. If you still do not see the display, refer
to the “Troubleshooting FAQ” section on page 3-42.
