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 use the speed dial function?

Type in a useful name and number after the 001 field
Save the entry
To call the number using speed dial, press the speaker + 001 + fast dial-up button.

Press and hold the IP button and then power on
Release the IP after 10 seconds

IPC-168 is in the safe mode will have a static IP of 192.168.1.100.
Use the Palmtool to upgrade the firmware. Make sure your computer is in the same network address range as the IPC-168, for example: 192.168.1.9.

I can ping the phone but can't use the Palmtool to access it. What do I do

In Windows click Start - Run
Type Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is your phones IP address)
Input the super password when prompted (either 12345678 or 19750407)
Type set debug 4 (enter)
Type write (enter)

You should now be able to access the phone using the Palmtool utility
