Message
Description
Possible explanation and action
CFG TFTP Size Error
The configuration file is too large for file system on Cisco
Cius.
Power cycle Cisco Cius.
Checksum Error
Downloaded software file is corrupted.
Obtain a new copy of Cisco Cius firmware and place it in the
TFTPPath directory. Copy files into this directory only when the TFTP server
software is shut down, otherwise the files may be corrupted.
DHCP timeout
DHCP server did not respond.
Network is busy -
The errors should resolve themselves when the network load reduces.
No network
connectivity between the DHCP server and
Cisco Cius - Verify
the network connections.
DHCP server is
down - Check configuration of DHCP server.
Errors persist -
Consider assigning a static IP address. See Ethernet Settings Menu
for details about assigning a static IP address.
DNS timeout
DNS server did not respond.
Network is busy -
The errors should resolve themselves when the network load reduces.
No network
connectivity between the DNS server and
Cisco Cius - Verify
the network connections.
DNS server is down
- Check configuration of DNS server.
DNS unknown host
DNS could not resolve the name of the TFTP server or Cisco
Unified Communications Manager.
Verify that the
hostnames of the TFTP server or
Cisco Unified Communications Manager are configured properly in DNS.
Consider using IP
addresses rather than hostnames.
Duplicate IP
Another device is using the IP address assigned to Cisco Cius.
If
Cisco Cius has a
static IP address, verify that you have not assigned a duplicate IP address.
See Ethernet Settings Menu for details.
If you are using
DHCP, check the DHCP server configuration.
Error update locale
One or more localization files could not be found in the
TFTPPath directory or were not valid. The locale was not changed.
From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration,
check that the following files are located within subdirectories in the TFTP
File Management:
Located in subdirectory with same name network locale:
tones.xml
Located in
subdirectory with same name user locale:
glyphs.xml
dictionary.xml
kate.xml
File not found <Cfg File>
The name-based and default configuration file was not found on
the TFTP Server.
The configuration file for Cisco Cius is created when Cisco
Cius is added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. If Cisco
Cius has not been added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database,
the TFTP server generates a
CFG File Not Found
response.
If you are using
DHCP, verify that the DHCP server is pointing to the correct TFTP server.
If you are using
static IP addresses, check configuration of the TFTP server. See Ethernet Settings Menu
for details about assigning a TFTP server.
IP address released
IP address released Cisco Cius is configured to release its IP
address.
Cisco Cius remains idle until it is power cycled or you reset
the DHCP address. See Ethernet Settings Menu
for details.
Load rejected HC
The application that was downloaded is not compatible with
Cisco Cius hardware.
Occurs if you were attempting to install a version of software
on this Cisco Cius that did not support hardware changes on this device.
Check the load ID assigned to Cisco Cius (from Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, choose
Device > Phone).
Reenter the load displayed on Cisco Cius.
No default router
DHCP or static configuration did not specify a default router.
If
Cisco Cius has a
static IP address, verify that the default router has been configured. See Ethernet Settings Menu for details.
If you are using
DHCP, the DHCP server has not provided a default router. Check the DHCP server
configuration.
No DNS server IP
A name was specified but DHCP or static IP configuration did
not specify a DNS server address.
If
Cisco Cius has a
static IP address, verify that the DNS server has been configured. See Ethernet Settings Menu
for details.
If you are using
DHCP, the DHCP server has not provided a DNS server. Check the DHCP server
configuration.
No Trust List installed
The CTL file or the ITL file is not installed on Cisco Cius.
The Trust List is not configured on the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, which does not support security by default.
For more information about the Trust List, see the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security
Guide.
Restart requested by Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Cisco Cius is restarting based on a request from Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
Configuration changes have likely been made to Cisco Cius in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and
Apply has been pressed so that the
changes take effect.
TFTP access error
TFTP server is pointing to a directory that does not exist.
If you are using
DHCP, verify that the DHCP server is pointing to the correct TFTP server.
If you are using
static IP addresses, check configuration of TFTP server. See Ethernet Settings Menu
for details about assigning a TFTP server.
TFTP error
Cisco Cius does not recognize an error code provided by the
TFTP server.
Contact Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
TFTP timeout
TFTP server did not respond.
Network is busy -
The errors should resolve themselves when the network load reduces.
No network
connectivity between the TFTP server and
Cisco Cius - Verify
the network connections.
TFTP server is
down - Check configuration of TFTP server.
Timed Out
Supplicant attempted 802.1X transaction but timed out due the
absence of an authenticator.
Authentication typically times out if 802.1X is not configured
on the switch.
Trust List update failed, verification failure
Updating CTL and ITL files failed.
Message displayed in case of error.
Version error
The name of Cisco Cius load file is incorrect.
Make sure that Cisco Cius load file has the correct name.
XmlDefault.cnf.xml, or .cnf.xml corresponding to Cisco Cius
device name
Name of the configuration file.
None. This configuration file provides an informational
message indicating the name of the configuration file for Cisco Cius.

Call Statistics Screen (Audio)
You can access the Call Statistics screen on
Cisco Cius to display
counters, statistics, and voice-quality metrics of the most recent call.
Note
You can also remotely view the call statistics information by using
a web browser to access the Streaming Statistics web page. This web page
contains additional RTCP statistics not available on
Cisco Cius. For more
information about remote monitoring, see
Monitoring Cisco Cius Remotely
A single call can have multiple voice streams, but data is
captured for only the last voice stream. A voice stream is a packet stream
between two endpoints. If one endpoint is put on hold, the voice stream stops
even though the call is still connected. When the call resumes, a new voice
packet stream begins, and the new call data overwrites the former call data.
To display the Call Statistics screen for information about
the latest voice stream, choose
Settings > About
Cius > Status > Call statistics
(audio).
The following table lists and describes the items that the
Call Statistics screen provides.
Table 6 Call Statistics Items for Cisco Cius
Item
Description
Rcvr Codec
Type of voice stream received (RTP streaming audio from
codec): G.729, G.722, G.711 u-law, G.711 A-law, and iLBC.
Sender Codec
Type of voice stream transmitted (RTP streaming audio from
codec): G.729, G.722, G.711 u-law, G.711 A-law, and iLBC.
Rcvr Size
Size of voice packets, in milliseconds, in the receiving voice
stream (RTP streaming audio).
Sender Size
Size of voice packets, in milliseconds, in the transmitting
voice stream.
Rcvr Packets
Number of RTP voice packets received since voice stream was
opened.
Note
This number is not necessarily identical to the number of
RTP voice packets received since the call began because the call might have
been placed on hold.
Sender Packets
Number of RTP voice packets transmitted since voice stream was
opened.
Note
This number is not necessarily identical to the number of
RTP voice packets transmitted since the call began because the call might have
been placed on hold.
Avg Jitter
Estimated average RTP packet jitter (dynamic delay that a
packet encounters when going through the network), in milliseconds, observed
since the receiving voice stream was opened.
Max Jitter
Maximum jitter, in milliseconds, observed since the receiving
voice stream was opened.
Rcvr Discarded
Number of RTP packets in the receiving voice stream that have
been discarded (bad packets, too late, and so on).
Note
Cisco Cius discards
payload type 19 comfort noise packets generated by Cisco Gateways, which
increments this counter.
Rcvr Lost Packets
Missing RTP packets (lost in transit).
Latency
Estimate of the network latency, expressed in milliseconds.
Represents a running average of the round-trip delay, measured when RTCP
receiver report blocks are received.
