CSCdy70295

Cisco IP Phone sends an unused message out of sequence to Cisco CallManager. This does not cause any adverse behavior because Cisco CallManager simply rejects the unused message.

CSCdz19560

Sustained DTMF tone may play if a keypad number and the EndCall soft key are pressed simultaneously.

CSCdz19608

In the Russian locale after pressing the QRT soft key and choosing 3, the last character in the last word does not display.

Table 2 Known Problems 

Bug ID
Summary
Explanation

CSCdt95739

Caller ID overwrites call parked number.

If many calls are incoming to one site, if a call is placed on park and an incoming call comes in immediately, the call park number gets overwritten on the display, and the user cannot note the number.

Workaround: None.

CSCdx82836

Sometimes phone shows huge Max Jtr after conference operation.

Sometimes IP phone shows huge Max Jitter value after conference operation.

Workaround: None.

CSCdy67400

IP phone that was deleted from Cisco CallManager Administration attempts registration every 5 seconds.

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

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

CSCdy75335

DSP Keepalive Timeout message appears many times per second in Cisco CallManager traces.

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 Cisco CallManager and is failing.

Workaround: None.

CSCdz08624

Phone is stuck in redirecting when it is attempting to access services.

If the user presses the services button and the services URL Enterprise Parameter is configured to redirect to another URL, the phone displays 'Redirecting' and never displays the services page.

This occurs once every few days and after the problem occurs, it happens every time. Rebooting the phone resolves the issue for a few more days.

Workaround: Change the services URL to directly point to the final web page instead of pointing to a web page that redirects to a second page. For example, if using http://cm_ip_addr/CCMUser/getservicesmenu.asp change to http://cm_ip_addr/CCMCIP/getservicesmenu.asp.

CSCea39284

LCD on IP phone shows incorrect CFwdAll status.

If call forwarding is set by using the CFwdAll soft key on the IP phone and then call forwarding for that phone is disabled via the Cisco CallManager User Options web page, the call forward directive set via soft key still shows on the phone's LCD. After it is disabled in the Cisco CallManager User Options web page, call forwarding will not function, so the display should not show a CFwdAll directive.

Workaround: None.

CSCuk35195

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

A high jitter occurs 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.

Workaround: None.

CSCuk39530

CiscoIPPhoneImage XML object does not display (Idle URL or HTTP Push).

When a Cisco IP Phone 7940 or 7960 series phone is idle and the phone retrieves a CiscoIPPhoneImage object with the IDLE URL or in response to an HTTP Push request, the XML object gets parsed, loaded, and the Title, Prompt, and Soft Keys display, but the image does not.

Workaround: The Image object can return an HTTP Refresh header to force the page to be immediately reloaded. This forces the display of the image.

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.

To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml

Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled: for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). When you call the center, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.
