Vonage V-Portal LCD Status Messages
Vonage V-Portal LCD Status Messages
Your V-Portal keeps you informed of its progress when powering up by displaying LCD messages and icons. The V-Portal even lets you know when new messages are displayed... the brightness level of the LCD backlight automatically increases.
LCD messages also report on everyday matters such as the phone number of a call you put on hold and the number of new voicemail messages and missed calls.

LCD Message
|
Meaning
|
| Powering Up | When you see this message, the V-Portal is in the process of powering up. It is not yet connected to the Vonage network so you can not use the V-Portal to make calls when this message displays. You will be able to make calls momentarily, as soon as "Ready to make calls" displays. All icons are off. The display backlight is on and set to High (full brightness). |
| Connecting... |
When you see this message, the V-Portal has powered up and is attempting to connect to the Internet. It is not yet connected to the Vonage network so you can not use the V-Portal to make calls when this message displays. You will be able to make calls momentarily, as soon as "Ready to make calls" displays.
The Internet port icon displays on the LCD status bar (in the upper section of the LCD) as soon as the Internet connection is established. If you've plugged a device (such as a computer or printer) into the Ethernet (LAN) port on the back of your V-Portal, the Ethernet (LAN) port icon also displays. The display backlight is on and set to High (full brightness). |
| Welcome to Vonage |
When you see this message, the V-Portal has successfully downloaded its profile from the Vonage Network. It is connecting to the Vonage Network and, as the connection has not completed, you can not use the V-Portal to make calls when this message displays. You will be able to make calls momentarily, as soon as "Ready to make calls" displays.
The Internet icon displays in the status bar. If the LAN port is connected, the Ethernet (LAN) port icon also displays. The display backlight is on and set to High (full brightness). |
| Ready to make calls |
Congratulations! When you see this message, your V-Portal is connected to the Vonage Network and "Ready to make calls".
A phone icon displays in the status bar for each Vonage phone line ready for use. The Phone port 1 icon indicates that phone line 1 is ready for use; the Phone Port 2 icon indicates that phone line 2 is ready for use. The Internet port icon displays in the status bar. If the LAN port is connected, the Ethernet (LAN) port icon also displays. The display backlight is on and changes to the default setting of Medium or the setting you defined using the LCD menu. |
| Update of firmware in progress, please do not power down. Device will restart automatically after update completes. |
The firmware that runs your V-Portal is being transferred from the Vonage Network to your V-Portal. By downloading the firmware, Vonage keeps your V-Portal up-to-date with all the new features and improvements that are available.
|
| Rebooting |
“Rebooting” displays on the LCD before the V-Portal reboots (powers down and back up again). This can happen if you reset the device through the Web UI, reset by pressing the RESET button on the back of the V-Portal, or if a firmware upgrade has taken place.
This message is informational and there is no need to do anything. The V-Portal automatically shuts down and restarts again.
|
| <Phone number> Hold |
Display of the phone number followed by “Hold” indicates that you’ve put the call to that number on hold. If the number consists of more than 10 digits, like an International number, you’ll see the last 10 digits of the number displayed. For example, an International call to 4412345678912 on hold displays as “2345678912 Hold.”
