Web Recovery Mode - Aastra phones

Web Recovery Mode allows you to instruct an Aastra phone to re-download basic configuration and firmware files.  The phone enters web recovery mode if either of the following conditions occurs:

• An incomplete download of the *.st binary file

• Moving the phone from a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) to standard power, or vice versa

When an Aastra phone is in web recovery mode, the power will appear to come on the phone, but the LCD screen will remain completely blank, and you will be unable to use the phone.

If your Aastra phone exhibits these symptoms, please do the following:

1. Disconnect the Aastra phone from power (or a PoE switch)

2. Reconnect the power (or the PoE switch cable) and quickly press and hold 1 + #

3. Hold the keys listed in Step #2 until the phone displays an IP address on the LCD screen

4. Using a computer on the same subnet as the phone, browse to the IP address displayed on the LCD screen

   1. Filename:

   2. TFTP Server IP:

6. In the Filename field, enter the name of the phone's firmware file.  Aastra firmware files are named <Model#>.st.
