This Technical Tip is to advise customers about a change to the method of accessing 1600 series telephone local administration procedures. IP Office 8.0/8.1 Service Pack 5 included telephone software 1.330D which introduced a default password in order to access the telephone administration options.
1600 series telephones upgraded to this release will have a default password applied of “CRAFT” unless a password is specified in the “46xxsettings.txt” file. The password is entered immediately after pressing the MUTE button prior to the required administration option. For example, to change the IP address the user would press:
"MUTE" "C", "R", "A", "F", "T", "A", "D", "D", "R", "#"
