Local Tools options 475
If the IP Phone is configured for Auto Lock, the IP Phone processes any
of the menu lock configuration items when they are received using DHCP
or a provisioning file. The menu lock items are ignored if the IP Phone is
configured to one of the manual menu lock modes.
For more information about configuring DHCP, see “Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol” (page 424).
For more information about the provisioning file, see “Provisioning the IP
Phones” (page 491).
Accessing the Local Tools menu
After you enter the password, the Local Tools menu remains active for 5
minutes. You can freely navigate, exit and reenter the Local Tools menu
without being prompted to reenter the password. To reset the timer before
the 5-minute time expires, double-press the Services key.
You can also press the 5 key to select the Lock Now item from the Lock
Menu. The Lock Now item immediately exits the Local Tools menu,
closes any open Local Tools menu pages, and locks the Local Tools
menu. Alternatively, when time expires, the Local Tools menu and any
open submenus are closed. Double-press the Services key to open the
password prompt window to reaccess the Local Tools menu.
If you enter an incorrect password, the Local Tools menu does not open.
Double-press the Services key to open the password prompt window. Only
three incorrect password entries are allowed. Any entry after the three
attempts is ignored for 5 minutes. The password prompt window is visible
and you can reenter the password but the password is not processed until
the 5-minute time expires.
Some text appears dimmed depending on the current state of the menu
lock and the configuration of the IP Phone. Only configuration options that
are enabled from the current state appear active. Menu options that are
not available appear dimmed.
Local Tools options
The Local Tools menu provides dialogs for configuration, diagnostics and
administration of the IP phone. Double press the Services key to access
the Local Tools menu. To make a menu selection, you can press the
number associated with the menu item (for example, press 2 1 to show
the IP Set & DHCP Information menu on the IP Phone 1140E) or you can
use the navigation keys to scroll through the list of menu items and press
the Enter key.
