On this page I will be showing you how to correctly reset the Dlink DPH-140S VoIP Phone.

This is not the same thing as a reboot. When you reboot something you are simply restarting it by cycling the power to the device. When you reset something you take all the settings and return them all to factory defaults.

Warning: All settings you have changed are erased during a reset. This is a serious step and should not be taken lightly. Creating a list of settings that will need to be reconfigured is a great idea. Consider the following:

  • The username and password to access the user interface are erased and reverted back to factory defaults.
  • Any settings you have changed are erased such as phone settings and the phone book.
