HI Grandstreams have a safeguard against this. What you need to do is unplug the eth ports and reset the phone if this does not work then yes the phone is a dud....get a new one.

If the address is configured and the phone is attempting to contact a server which doesn't respond, the lights never go out. If you can operate the menu, (you may need to cycle the handset off-hook and then on-hook first) set the TFTP and Time server addresses to 0.0.0.0 and restart the phone. If the phone now works, then you should be OK. Also, even if you unplugged the phone during a firmware update, you may still be able to get the phone operational if the bootloader code is intact (which is not that unlikely), but you will need to get a TFTP server located at the address that the phone is attempting to access. Hope this helps. Stephen R.
