Hello All,
So I have spent alot of time playing with these phones, I'm hoping to keep this thread alive and help others who might or who are facing issues. I want to be able to give you hope and explain step by step what you need to do to re-program these phones. Im going to write as I go along and hopefully it will help you.
First lets get down to who needs to read this.. I'm basing my actions on a Model knows as HW1 there were some issues to dispute them, but for a number of US models that used ACN this applies to you.
1) If that screen ACN stays on all the time and you cannot get rid of it and never moves forward.
2) Your phone boots and get locked up someplace like networking and never opens the UI (User Interface)
3) Your basically say crap Its not working...
My personal advice is use a laptop and run the live CD when you see the ubuntu prompt, then you can you type the following. Run a cross cable from the phone WAN to the LAN of the laptop. Turn the Phone off.
1) Boot from LiveCD
Available at:
http://www.4shared.com/file/o0xZjkn-/livecd.html
Burn the image to a CD and load into laptop
2)sudo /redbootjump.sh (if it is successful - you will see Redboot >
When you see the redboot > then you should see ARPING 10.73.61.201 from 10.73.61.100 via eth0
while holding 1+#+0 together on the phone keypad turn the unit on. on the laptop you should see > connection to 10.73.61.201 9000 port (succeeded)
You will only see the Power light on the phone lit. You will not see a logo on the screen
(if it is successful - you will see Redboot >
3) Now Type > load -h 10.73.61.100 -r -b 0x100000 umec-kernel
4) Then Type > fis delete kernel
5) Finally Type > fis create kernel
6) Turn the phone off and hold 1+# and switch the phone back on. hold until you see RECOVERY mode. then let go.
the internal NFS will prepare the phone.
If you made it this far you should see the phone boot normally and load the UI interface.
This part is done.

So now you want to make this phone work on TRIXBOX or Asterisk?
I actually updated to Joshoa's 20.9.37 Via SD card from this point. the files are located at:
http://www.mediafire.com/?55muxa5q2fsqg2q
unzip the files and put them in the main directory of the SD card. put the card in the phone and turn the phone on. after about 3 minutes you will see the screen go blank and then see the bootup slider, unplug the sd card and wait for it to boot all the way. If you leave the card in, it will loop on the upgrade, I hope Joshoa will fix this in a future release.
first you need to user putty or in my case I used SecureCRT you will need to see what IP you have on your phone by pressing STATUS on the phone
Now you need to SSH into the phone using port 7022 user: root and pass:root
once your inside type the following when you see MX27>
1) /web-off.sh
2)/web-on.sh
This has some magic that takes away whatever password they used before. Joshoa Live CD has everything to do with it. Thank you.

password is: 1234
poof you are in and you can config the SIP settings. make sure you press Apply.
** To make the config run, you need to reboot the phone either by power cycle or from the menu click shutdown from the menu on the left.
Issues I found,
I currently use Trixbox, and the phones will not talk to each other. I tried to call existing phones on my network and it will hang up after a short period of time. I dont know the fix yet, and I have never faced this problem. I know its not the Trixbox, because I even run nortel on the same system with a unistim codec made by cedric a few years ago and it works.
Now its something new in the phone and Im still trying to trouble shoot it. I cannot get the 2 ACN Phones to call each other, so Im going to have to spend more time and see what changes are required.
When I place a call to the normal phone it will work for about 15 to 20 seconds, then it cuts off. Anyone with thoughts I would appreciate it.
I take no credit on anything other then putting all the instructions on one spot. I waited a few days with no one to reply on the forum so I made this in case someone wants to know step by step and no need to ask anything from anyone. I waited, but I see that this forum is not as active as it should be, so Im going to help out and compile it to one list of help!
