[cisco-voip] Remotely rebooting Phone without using Callmanager (in CM not connected, but can still ping/http)

[Justin Steinberg]

I'd be interested to see what's on the phone screen.  Try to get a
screenshot via:

http://<phone ip>/CGI/Screenshot

You'll be prompted for credentials for a DC directory user who is
associated with your phone's MAC.  Of course, if your phone can not
communicate with the authentication URL this won't work.

Or as Mike said, you could just ask the Maid what's on the phone screen.
