IP Phone IP Phone stuck at 
“lock-out” or “pin in 
memory”.
The PIN registration code 
and the extension number of 
the IP phone are saved in the 
flash memory of the phone. 
A potential issue evolves 
when IP phones are moved 
from one site to another. If 
the IP phone has been 
successfully registered with 
system A, moving this phone 
to system B will cause it to 
fail and it will be stuck at 
“lockout” or “PIN in memory”.
Ensure that the site is using IP 
clustering before following these 
steps to clear the memory.
1. Clear the PIN registration code 
and the extension from the flash 
memory of the IP phone, by 
pressing the  ∗ key for a few 
seconds while powering the IP 
phone.
2. After the flash memory is clear, 
the IP phone will prompt you to 
enter the PIN as usual in a new 
system.
