Richard, Thanks for the pointer, and thanks to Nico at Siemens!
For future reference to procedure to recover from a "Can't Boot!!" situation is: 1) Start the Siemens netbootserver 2) Configure the netbootserver with the FTP server where new software image is located (must be in the FTP root directory) and have all 5 files present 3) Configure the MAC address and valid IP (one that can talk to the FTP server without a router!) in the netbootserver 4) Connect LAN port 2 of the OptiPoint 600 Office to the LAN (or directly with a crossover cable) 5) Reboot the phone and tap the screen to initiate the netboot process 6) Wait 5 - 10 minutes while the image and software loads (the screen keeps you updated) 7) Reboot the phone. BINGO phone works again! Cheers Anthony. ---------- Original Message ----------- From: richard Coco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion <asterisk- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Fri, 26 Aug 2005 06:08:08 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Optipoint 600 Cant boot - development shell active > Hi, > > The only thing i know is that you need a netbootserver > using five special files.
