Resolving Startup Problems
If the Cisco CallManager service is not running, all devices on the network that rely on it to make phone
calls will be affected. If the TFTP service is not running, many devices will not be able to start up
successfully.
To start a service, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose Cisco Unified Serviceability from the
Navigation drop-down list and click Go.
Step 2
Choose Tools > Control Center - Feature Services.
Step 3
Choose the primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager server from the Server drop-down list.
The window displays the service names for the server that you chose, the status of the services, and a
service control panel to start or stop a service.
Step 4
If a service has stopped, select its radio button and then click the Start button.
The Service Status symbol changes from a square to an arrow.
A service must be activated before it can be started or stopped. To activate a service, choose Tools >

When you remove a phone from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, its
configuration file is deleted from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager TFTP server. The
phone's directory number or numbers remain in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database. They are called "unassigned DNs" and can be used for other devices. If unassigned DNs
are not used by other devices, delete them from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database. You can use the Route Plan Report to view and delete unassigned reference numbers.
Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for more information.
