Workaround for IP222/IP232 not booting up
Hi everyone.

I don't know if you have ever met such problem before, but it happened to me a few times. The problem is like this...

PROBLEM:
- after an attemp to restart the phone, or restore factory settings - phone does not want to power up

Happens totally randomly and rather with low occurance percentage. When such situation happened, I've tried connecting phone to different PoE switch, waiting 2-3 minutes so that maybe it will somehow "discharge"... Nothing helped. Sometimes it started working after a few days, but there was no obvious rule.

So we guess that some phones (at least from those that we've got) have some "factory" fault or maybe is design fault. Some kind of problem with PoE power module (we don't have any dedicated power adapter, so I don't know if it would work with those).

WORKAROUND:
Here is a solution, that have worked for me. When such problem happens - plug in and plug out your LAN cable from phone a few times, quite rapidly. Around 2 plug-in/plug-out cycles per second. After a few tries, your phone should boot up normally.
