Also, the box is on a UPS, so I'm assuming the AC power is generated from the battery and is a perfect sine wave. But that begs the question: does a UPS system connect the mains to the output, or is the input power used to charge the battery, and the battery used to generate the output

unknown usually indicates that there is active communication between Asterisk server and the phone that does not involve a voice codec. An example of that would be registering the phone. Another example would be call setup and teardown before RTP data is sent and codec preference is established.
