resolve themselves when the network load
reduces.
• No network connectivity between the
DHCP server and the phone—Verify the
network connections.
• DHCP server is down—Check
configuration of DHCP server.
• Errors persist—Consider assigning a static
IP address. See Network Configuration
Menu, page 4-5 for details on assigning a
static IP address.

host names.
Duplicate IP Another device is using the IP address assigned
to the phone.
• If the phone has a static IP address, verify
that you have not assigned a duplicate IP
address. See Network Configuration Menu,
