[Asterisk-Users] Nortel 350

[Wade Weppler]

The Nortel 350/390/480 can't be "locked" just by dialing into an ADSI
service.  The phone might not accept programming for that particular slot
anymore, but once the phone is cleared, you can reprogram at will.

The lock is a hardware lock.

To clear the phone, you can follow this procedure.  Again, this won't clear
a hardware lock, just all of the software that's resident in the phone.
