Identify Phone Issues with a URL in the Phone Web Page
When the phone doesn't work or doesn't register, a network error or any misconfiguration might be the cause. To identify the cause, add a specific IP address or a domain name to the phone admin page. Then, try to access so that the phone can ping the destination and display the cause.
Procedure
In a supported web browser, enter a URL that consists of your phone IP address and the destination IP that you want to ping. Enter the URL using the format:
<Phone IP> = actual IP address of your phone. /admin = path to the access admin page of your phone. <ping destination> = any IP address or domain name that you want to ping. The ping destination allows only alphanumeric characters, ‘-’, and “_” (underscores). Otherwise the phone shows an error on the web page. If the <ping destination> includes spaces, the phone uses only the first part of the address as the pinging destination. For example, to ping the 192.168.1.1 address: http://<Phone IP>/admin/ping?192.168.1.1 |
