Problem Description
There have been two reported cases (CSCae06158) of customer sites using D/120JCT-LS and D/120JCT-EURO Dialogic boards, having a problem with Cisco Unity seeing a second call appearance 1000ms after disconnect.
Background
Intermittently, the D/120JCT firmware falsely detects energy present after going from an off-hook to an on-hook state and detects this as a valid ring signal. The occurrence and frequency of the problem depends on the level of the ring signal and the phase of the ring signal coming from the private branch exchange (PBX).
For the D/120JCT-LS board, Dialogic resolved this problem and another problem related to Japan Caller ID failures with both a firmware modification (SR 5.00 or later) and a hardware modification (board revision 99-3931-207). The firmware modification resolves the false ring detect problem. For the EURO board, Dialogic is not planning on modifying the hardware since the firmware modification resolves the false ring event problem.
Cisco Engineering has not tested or qualified the modified Dialogic boards (SR 5.00 or later), and recommends using the workaround to address the problem symptoms (see Work Around/Solution below).
Problem Symptoms
After a caller hangs up, the port goes idle for one second. A subsequent call appears on the same port, but it is a phantom call. The port remains occupied until the conversation times out due to no caller response.
Workaround/Solution
Cisco Engineering has not tested or qualified the modified version of the Dialogic boards, and recommends using the workaround provided here:
Increase the MinimumRingOnInterval setting in the switch file from the default setting of 200ms to 500 ms or higher.

Description |
|---|---|
|
Detail: On the D120JCT system on which we had been testing, on many ports, if you called into voice mail, then hung up, in TapiBrowser and StatusMonitor you could see the port go idle, then another call appearance on the same port 1000ms later even though there was really no call. The port would stay occupied until it timed out on the conversation because of no caller response. |
How To Identify Hardware Levels
D/120JCT-LS
===========
To identify the revision of the D/120JCT-LS voice board, you must shut down the system, remove the voice board from the server, and find the top level part number and revision.
D/120JCT-EURO
=============
All revisions of D/120JCT-EURO voice board are affected. There is no need to identify the revision.
