Actually the problem happens to just a few phones every now and then, and restarting a service for this particular customer is too complicated =)<br>The "fix" I use is to make any change on the device configuration.<br>
I was able to get the .cnf files using windows cmd " tftp "host" get SEPxxxx.cnf.xml", but will try the web way Nicholas mentioned and I looked for since it sounds easier.<br>Now I'll compare both files to see if anything looks like a root cause for this.<br>
