The phone usually takes a few minutes to boot-up. Depending on your network configuration, you can optimize the boot-up duration by considering the following factors:
  • 46xxsettings.txt : The phone parses all the settings that are available in the settings file. Do not use the complete settings file template. Create a new settings file and include only the parameters that you plan to use for the phone. Refer to section Data Privacy for details.
  • IPv6 : On Avaya J100 Series IP Phones series phones, IPv6 is enabled by default. If your network does not support IPv6, you can disable IPv6 by setting the IPV6STAT to 0 in the 46xxsettings.txt file.
  • 8012.x : Avaya J100 Series IP Phones support IEEE 802.1x parameters. Refer to section Setting the 802.1x operational mode for details.
  • NTP : On Avaya J100 Series IP Phones the default value of SNTPSRVR server is 0.avaya.pool.ntp.org. If you are not using the default SNTP servers or if these servers are not reachable, then you can configure the phone with an alternate list of SNTP servers setting the following SNTPSRVR parameter value in the 46xxSettings.txt file: “ntp-server-1,ntp-server-2”, providing IP address or FQDN of the desired NTP server(s). Specifying the correct SNTPSRVR prevents the delay caused by the phone waiting for NTP server timeouts.
