Hi, all, Okay this will be a strange one.
I am hoping there is some way to disable the function on the 2420 telephone set that makes it try to download updated firmware.
Why would I want to do this?
I am running an unsupported arrangement: I have 2420 telephones extended from a PBX via MCK IP Extenders.
Usually works fine, BUT somehow one or more phones try - for reasons unknown to me - to download new firmware, then the MCK ports get locked up, and the only way to 'fix' it is to plug a known good 2420 directly into the PBX.
Here's the catch: the PBX in *not* a Definity or ACM; it is an Avaya IP Office.
The MCK Extenders shouldn't care - they don't really talk to the PBX, just the telphone and the PBX digital station port. I guess, though, that on a Definity the port handles the firmware download, and the MCK isn't getting what it expects from the port.
To avoid this, I would like to somehow AVOID having the sets auto-update.
I know this is a longshot, but any ideas would be appreciated.
