Hi everyone, This is off topic and is for GS technical support really but it seems that there are a lot of Budge Tone 100/101/102 users out there. I've got a Budge Tone-100 (101 - without the extra 10base ethernet connetion?) here. I changed the configuration through its web based interface and I clicked the reboot link. But then something went wrong and ever since then it doesn't boot up correctly. It starts up and the LCD stays blue backlit and the keypad flashes in groups of five (flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, pause, flash, flash, flash, flash, flash, pause..... and so on... for ever). I think this is a problem with a firmware update failure? I never changed the factory setting to do with tftp and the phone was on a NATed network so it could have been making outbound connections on its own. Does anyone know how to reset the phone back to an operating state (is it even possible??)

A network sniffer such as tcpdump or Ethereal are best used for that. Arrange your network so that a machine of your control answers to whatever IP address it is looking for. Set up tftp on that machine and put on it a known good and working version of the firmware. Reboot the phone. Prey... Gilad -- Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@codefidence.com> Codefidence.

Derek -- I was in a similar situation recently. I got a BT101 from TheVoipConnection and I tried everything to get DHCP or static IP address working. Nothing... No matter what I did I couldn't get this phone to function. I was about to call and complain they sent me a dud phone... On a lark, I setup the static IP address on the phone to work on my LAN, and put in the tFTP server as my windows 2000 box (on the same LAN). I put the tFTP server on that w2k box, with the 1.0.5.11 firmware unzipped in the root directory. Get this firmware from: http://www.grandstream.com/y-downloads.htm To my surprise, the BT101 upon boot logged into my tftp server and began downloading files! Even though I couldn't ping the damn phone, it was able to tFTP off the new roms. Apparently on boot, the BT phones always first attempt to tftp before booting the rest of their network functions. In any case, with the 1.0.5.11 ROMS the phone works GREAT! The other thing I would suggest is resetting the phone manually to factory settings. The instructions for this are in the BT101 manual, but basically you have to type in the MAC address of the phone on the --RESET-- menu. Download the manual to learn how to do this. Good luck!
