Some back ground on the problem...IP Polycom only displays "ObtainingIP address" its a cisco 7935, that used to work fine with my callmanager. I went into the configuration and set it to not do dhcp, and use static addressing withing the rfc 1918 block that I use internally. Once I configured it to do so, i rebooted the unit. Now the unit seems to do the boot POST test fine, all except it appearently cannot obtain a IP address (which it shouldnt be trying to, since i turned of dhcp)from the message that its displaying. Unfortunately no IP address, and the unit sits in limbo forever...any ideas... secret key combos that can get me back to configuration mode or clear config, cause it obviously has somthing skewed in the configuration holding it up.
I put a sniffer in the mix, and can see the dhcp request from the IP polycom on the wire, but nothing will answer the request ( the strange part!). Ive tried all the dhcp options for tftp 66 and 150 thinking that that might be the issue, but no good... I have also tried various dhcp server types to make sure also....now I have exhausted ideas accept a idea of key combo's ...does anyone have any idea what might be going on?
