Why can I use the Web console to configure my phone, but Palmtool doesn’t work?

If the IP phone’s “debug” setting is set to “no output”, it is impossible to use the Palmtool utility. If you need to use the palmtool utility, then log into the phone through the Web Console and select the “debug” option to any other value.

Alternatively use the telnet utility to achieve this:

From a cmd prompt or from run within windows
Type Telnet IPADDRESS
Type set debug 4 (ENTER)
Type write (ENTER)

How do I recover the phone if it has crashed during upgrade?

If the phone crashes or does not boot for whatever reason, then you need to bring the phone online in 'safemode' To achieve this perform the following:

Never set the debug option to no check, if it is set this way then the program will not check if the firmware matches the hardware or not, this can be dangerous.

Press and hold * whilst you power up the phone and until you see * begin to display on the LCD.

Power off and repeat again, after the second power up, the default IP address will now be - 192.168.1.100.
Ensure the IP Phone and your Windows PC are on the same LAN (i.e. you have both IP addresses within the same range).

Run the Palmtool.exe on your PC. You can try the Palmtool's Start Debug button, a debug window will pop up and if you press the key on the IP phone, the key and the IP phone's IP address will be displayed within the debug window.

If your PC's IP address is not 192.168.1.xxx (not on the same LAN as the IP phone) then change its TCP-IP settings to the same LAN.

Enter 192.168.1.100 (or other default IP) in the Palmtool's IP Address field.
Find the correct upgrade file, and use the Palmtool Update Program button to update your IP phone.

What is a digit map and how can it help me control how my phone dials?

A Digit map is a set of rules to help determine when the user has finished dialing. With digit map, users don’t have to press the “#” key or callkey after dialing.

Digit map originates from the MGCP protocol. In MGCP, the Call Agent will send a digit map to endpoint, so use digit map is always selected and the users don’t have to store a digit map file in the endpoint beforehand.

With other protocols, a digit map file has to be stored in the phone beforehand and can be upgraded by pressing either the [update digitmap] button or clicking the [upgrade firmware] at the bottom of the settings web page.

X represents any number between 0 and 9.

T represents a period of time after the user presses the last number. The default value is 5 seconds.

[0-5]: Any number between 0 and 5. That is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

13xxxxxxxxx: Any 11 digits number starting with 13.

02[0-57-9]xxxxxxxx: Any number starting with 02, the second number between 0 and 5, the third number is between 7 and 9, and total length is 12.

*x.T - Starting the sequence with * key, and the user has waited T seconds after pressing the last digits.
x.T - Any digit number and user has waited T seconds after pressing the last digits.

If the number dialed matches a sequence within the digit map file, or it doesn’t match any item, then this number will be sent out immediately. Unlike use dial plan, use digit map won’t change the number dialed, the number that is sent remains the same as the number dialed.

use digit map can be combined with use dial plan and inner line. First use digit map to determine when the user has finished dialing and then convert this number to the number that is actually sent, as defined in use dial plan and inner line.
