IP7000 not loaded

[ue]

Dear All,

We have a problem with the Polycom Soundstation IP 7000. Connection via power supply. After turning on the phone - Polycom logo appears. Then the screen goes out and turns on only the three red lights. So the phone not loaded. No LAN connection. No reaction.

The phone is not new. Previously, he worked perfectly.

Software information: 4.1.1.0232 29-Mar-08 16:43

>Is this a brand new unit or a used unit?

A used unit

>If used how long have you had it?
We just changed some ip and sip settings and now all of three lights come on and nothing happens

There are no activity on LAN port via Wireshark application.

Very similar to this problem:

Any ideas?

Hello ue,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

The correct solution for most of these issues is most likely an RMA.

You can try and setup a server so the phone can attempt and download its software if that is causing the issue:

Most likely the unit has broken for some reason or another but without getting the unit to Polycom support I am unable to verify this.

Dear SteffenBaierUK,

I can not understand what was the cause of failure. There were only changed network settings.

About your recommendation - try and setup a server so the phone can attempt and download its software...

How could I setup my phone? How to connect to this phone? How to setup this phone? There are no problem with download software and prepare server side. But what about configuring phone for it? Is it possible? Maybe via USB port? by other method?

Hello ue,

I am not aware what happened to the phone or what state it was in before it got moved so unless this is being returned to Polycom support for an RMA we are unable to diagnose the issue.

The above post explains how you setup a DHCP Option to provide the phone with the details of a Provisioning server. This should allow the phone to upload its logs and if successful also attempt to download a software.

If this all fails then the unit is defective and there is no way for an end user to fix this.

Provisioning server is ready. How long does it take to connect phone to the server?

[SteffenBaierUK]

Hello ue,

this post is getting into support territory which we do not support via this community as Polycom employees.

The phone will request via the DHCP Discovery to be provided with the DHCP Option 160 or 66 the location of the Boot Server. Once it receives this it will attempt to connect to it.

All of the above is subject to the phone being in working order.

You may want to try a wireshark trace via a spanned port to confirm it does such action.

If it doesn't then please contact your Polycom reseller for support.
