CIscoc IP Phone Registeration

[sagar448]

I am running into A LOT of problems! I recently bought the Cisco 8481 Ip phone and i've been trying to set it up. It gets stuck on "Phone is registering" never moves from there. I have no access to the CUCM, so I opened up sandbox, but turns out you cannot connect to your actual hardware. ALL i need is to just display a piece of text on the phones screen and I can't get it to do that!!! Can someone help please?

Hi @sagar448 ,

Maybe this discussion can help you:

you need to put option 150 with the IP address of your call manager, and provision the phone, using its mac address in CUCM.

is your phone receiving an IP address at all?

1.  Is the phone running 3PCC/MPP or Enterprise firmware? 

2.  Is the phone meant to connect to Cisco call servers or non-Cisco call servers (like 3CX, Asterisk or FushionPBX)?
