Unified Communications Manager: kCtiIncompatibleProtocolVersion - Incompatible Protocol Version Error in Event Log

Introduction

This document discusses the kCtiIncompatibleProtocolVersion - Incompatible protocol version error message that is displayed in the event log after an upgrade of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

This error message indicates that some applications that have a Telephony Application Programming Interface and Java Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI/JTAPI) in use still run an outdated version which is not compatible with the version included in the new version of CallManager.

Recommended Action: Verify correct version of application

This problem arises when the Cisco Unified Communications Manager is upgraded, but not the TAPI/JTAPI clients.

You must upgrade the TAPI/JTAPI client software on any application server or client workstation on which TAPI/JTAPI applications are installed. If you do not upgrade the TAPI/JTAPI client, your application fails to initialize.

Solution

In the event log error message, the TAPI or JTAPI client installed on the device with the IP address of 172.28.2.179 has not been upgraded to a compatible version.

You need to investigate the device to find what application at this address uses TAPI/JTAPI and update the corresponding package from the CallManager Administration > Applications > Install Plugins as this section shows. In this example, the device is the one with the IP address of 172.28.2.179.

Note: Some of the applications that use JTAPI/TAPI interfaces are Personal Assistant, Attendant Console, IPCC Express, TAPS, and Extension Mobility.

If you need to upgrade the JTAPI version, select Cisco JTAPI, as this example shows:

If you need to upgrade the Telephony Service Provider, select Cisco Telephony Service Provider, as this example shows:
