Bug ID
Summary
Explanation

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: Use the handset or the speakerphone.

CSCdx82836

Sometimes phone shows huge Max Jtr after conference operation.

Sometimes IP Phone shows huge Max Jtr after conference operation

Workaround: None.

CSCdy34562

Poor speakerphone quality.

If the speaker is used, quality is poor.

Workaround: None.

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 the Cisco CallManager and is failing.

Workaround: None.

CSCdz08624

Phone is stuck in redirecting when 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 once 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.

CSCdz32681

Japanese displayID larger than 24 characters resets assistant phone.

The assistant phone is reset after it receives a call from the manager phone with a display ID is longer than 24 Japanese characters.

Workaround: Do not specify displayID longer than 24 characters for the Japanese locale.

CSCdz53716

Phone always sends StationTimeDateReq at 00:00, 10:00, 20:00.

Even though the Station Keepalive Interval for the IP phone can be extended to a long time to prevent keepalive packets from keeping an expensive link established, the phone sends a StationTimeDateReq at midnight, 10 am, and 8 pm every day.

Workaround: None.

CSCdz64808

Ring Type menu shows DN number when ring type changed from default.

If users configure six lines on their phone with a different ring tone for each line, the ring type list incorrectly displays another DN.

Workaround : Select the DN that displays on the list and change that DN to the default ring.

CSCdz65109

Phone does not ring on some lines after ring type changed.

After the users change the ring type on all 6 lines in the 7960, some DNs do not ring or they do not have the correct ring type.

Workaround: Select the default ring for all 6 lines.

CSCin13495

Phone reboots on sending XML request to phone.

The phone reboots when using the PPS application to access voicemail.

Workaround: Use load P00303020100 with the PPS application.

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.

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 a HTTP Push request, the XML object is parsed, loaded and the Title, Prompt, and Soft Keys display, but the image does not.

Workaround: The Image object can return a HTTP Refresh header to force the page to be immediately reloaded. This will force 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.
