Table 15
Startup initialization process for the IP Phone KEM
Phase Description
1. IP Phone KEM performs
self-test
The self-test confirms the operation of the IP Phone KEM local
memory, CPU, and other circuitry. While undergoing this self-test,
the IP Phone KEM display lights up.
If the IP Phone KEM display does not light up, or lights up and then
goes blank, or fails to begin flashing, check that the IP Phone KEM
is correctly installed and configured.
2. IP Phone KEM
establishes communication
with the IP Phone
The IP Phone KEM display flashes until it establishes
communication with the IP Phone.
If the IP Phone KEM display does not stop flashing, communication
has not been established with the IP Phone. Check that the IP
Phone KEM is correctly installed and configured.
3. IP Phone KEM
downloads keymaps
The key labels download to the IP Phone KEM. During the
download, the display is blank.
When the three phases complete successfully, you are ready to use the
additional line/feature keys on your IP Phone KEM.
If you have a second IP Phone KEM installed on your IP Phone, the one to
the immediate right of the IP Phone must be functional for the subsequent
IP Phone KEM to work. This is because the second IP Phone KEM
receives its power, and communicates with the IP Phone, through the first
IP Phone KEM.
Operating parameters
General
If an IP Phone KEM is not responding, and lines or features are configured
on keys 32 to 79, calls can be directed to those keys which the user
cannot access. This means the IP Phone 2002 or IP Phone 2004 rings but
the call cannot be answered. In such cases, the incoming call receives
Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) treatment.
IP Phone 2002
If only one IP Phone KEM is configured in LD 11, but two IP Phone KEMs
are detected on an IP Phone 2002, the second IP Phone KEM is ignored.
An error message displays to alert the administrator that the hardware
configuration does not match the administered configuration.
If two IP Phone KEMs are configured in LD 11, but only one IP Phone
KEM is responding, the keys on the second IP Phone KEM are available
for call processing but are not accessible to the user. This means that
