Reading IP Endpoint Status Displays
While the boot code is loading, you will see the displays shown in the following table. The top
lines on the display change, as shown in the chart, and the bottom lines always contain the IP
address and the Ethernet address.
Several displays have a “/” character at the end that is a rotating bar to indicate that the device
is working.
Firmware Download Progress Displays
Several changes have been made to the firmware image update process. These changes only
apply when the endpoint is running version 1.2.7 or later firmware (not when upgrading from
1.1.5 to 1.2.7, for example).
• Two copies of the firmware image are kept in case one gets corrupted during a failed
download attempt (this does not apply to the Model 8600 endpoints). This may cause the
firmware update process to take more time than before.
• Additional messages are displayed on the LCD during the firmware download process to
let the user know the status of the firmware download and to discourage the unintentional
interruption of the process—for example, unplugging the endpoint because nothing
appears to be happening. Table 5-16 shows the update progress displays.
.
If an error occurs during the firmware download process, the endpoint displays an error
message as described in “Download Error Message Displays” on page 5-126.
