Issue: Mitel 5312 IP phone screen is stuck on "Contacting RCS…" message.

When you restart the phone (by unplugging the network cable), it shows “VLAN None” then “Option 129 Missing”

Reason: There is no VLAN set on the phone. It should be set to a VLAN. In this case, it needs to be VLAN number 3. You may have to find your correct VLAN number.

2. While the phone is booting, press and hold the Up and Down arrow keys simultaneously.

7. Press arrow down until you see the VLAN IDparameters. Keep pressing down and it will prompt for question as follows, and just press # for No.
• View Current Netwrk?

• View DHCP Values?

9. You can press # for No when it asked for View QOS Params?
10. Press * for Modify QOS Params?
11. Scroll down until you see the VLAN ID.
