Summary
Explanation

CSCdt95739

Caller ID overwrites call parked number.

Workaround: None.

CSCdv80061

Delay in voice cut-through when using headset on handset port.

There is a delay in voice cut-through on both directions when either party is using an external headset device plugged into the handset port.

The above symptom has been noted only on Cisco IP Phone 7960 Series phones with a Netcom MPA II (Multi-purpose Amplifier) with Cisco CallManager Release 3.1 firmware files. The headset is plugged into the Handset port of the phone.

Workaround: None.

CSCdy59908

Phones registered to neither Cisco CallManager nor to SRST.

Phone is registered to neither Cisco CallManager nor is it registered to its SRST gateway. The phone shows Unknown status in the Cisco CallManager Administration pages. The IP address of the phone displays properly. This indicates that the phone at one time was registered with the Cisco CallManager.

Workaround: Reset the phone with **#** or shut/no shut the port that the phone is connected to.

CSCdy67400

Phone deleted from database attempts registrations every 5 seconds.

If a phone is deleted from the Cisco CallManager database and the phone is DHCP enabled, the application event viewer logs DeviceTransientConnection every 5 seconds from the same phone. Cisco CallManager traces logs the same event every 5 seconds.

Workaround: Remove the phone from the network or enable auto-registration on the Cisco CallManager.

CSCdy67668

If you see the following message repeated many times per second in the Cisco CallManager traces: StationInit: 14f73d50 Alarm alarmSeverity=7 text="DSP Keepalive Timeout [0xffff, 0xffff, 0xffff, 0xffff]", then the phone is trying to register with the Cisco CallManager and is failing.

Workaround: None.

CSCuk35195

Large variation in jitter on speech path from VISM to phone.

A high jitter is seen on speech from VISM to the Cisco IP Phone. Jitter is constant from IP phone to VISM. This problem causes PAMS, and PESQ measurements to be low on these calls.

Technical Assistance Center

The Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.

Cisco TAC inquiries are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:

Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.

Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.

Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.

Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.

The Cisco TAC resource that you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.

Cisco TAC Web Site

You can use the Cisco TAC Web Site to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to register:

http://www.cisco.com/register/

If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.

Cisco TAC Escalation Center

The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.
