Note
Initialization Process Overview
The initialization process of the Skype for Business phone is responsible for network connectivity
and operation of the phone in your local network.
Once you connect your Skype for Business phone to the network and to an electrical supply, the
Skype for Business phone begins its initialization process.
During the initialization process, the following events take place:
Loading the ROM file
The ROM file resides in the flash memory of the Skype for Business phone. The Skype for
Business phone comes from the factory with a ROM file preloaded. During initialization, the
Skype for Business phone runs a bootstrap loader that loads and executes the ROM file.
Configuring the VLAN
If the Skype for Business phone is connected to a switch, the switch notifies the Skype for
Business phone of the VLAN information defined on the switch (if using LLDP or CDP). The
Skype for Business phone can then proceed with the DHCP request for its network settings (if
using DHCP).
If in-line power switch/hub is provided, you don’t need to connect the phone to the power
adapter. Make sure the switch/hub is PoE-compliant.
The Skype for Business phone can also share the network with another network device such as a
PC (personal computer). It is an optional connection.
Important! Do not unplug or remove the power while the Skype for Business phone is updating
firmware and configurations.
