Troubleshooting Chorus Deskphones

Network Problem ​- this error occurs when the phone cannot talk to the servers at all.

To fault find:

• Check the IP address here, this should confirm whether the phone is getting an IP address or not.
• Has the phone been recently moved? It may be a faulty patch lead, patching or network configuration.

• Does the phone work in a ‘known working port’ i.e. a port that has a working Chorus device in situ.
• If the phone does not, it may be a fault with the phone itself; please raise an incident.

This is a result of a password mismatch between the phone and the server. This can be solved by fixing RA2 errors in phoneman.

This is a combination error. To fault find, please check point 1 below before raising a ticket if required in point 2 below.

This error occurs because:

1. The extension format has been entered incorrectly:

The extension must be entered in the correct format as follows:

• 44186527xxxx
• 44186528xxxx
• 44186561xxxx

Frequent examples of extension format input errors that will NOT register:

• 441865212345 - last 5-digits prefixed by 2 (when it should be a 6, i.e. 441865612345)
• 00441865612345 - incorrect leading 00
• 01865612345 - incorrect 0 instead of 44
• 12345 - only 5 digits entered

First, factory reset the device:

​​Follow these steps to perform a factory reset of the Unify phone:

1. ​​Hold 289 keys down at the same time.
2. ​​The phone will then ask for a reset password.
3. ​​​​Type 124816, press OK, and the phone will reset back to asking for the terminal number.

Next, enter the university extension number (terminal number), in the format:

    44186527xxxx

    44186528xxxx

    44186561xxxx

2. The phone is missing some configuration detail which can only be solved by contacting the Chorus team.

To help the support team fix this, please get the IP address, and include this in the incident raising an RG2 RS2 fault.
