Table 9 Status Messages Displayed in Cisco IP Communicator

Message	Description	Possible Explanation and Action
BootP server used	Cisco IP Communicator obtained its IP address from a BootP server rather than from a DHCP server.	None. This message is informational only.
CFG file not found	The name-based and default configuration file was not found on the TFTP Server.	The configuration file is created when Cisco IP Communicator is added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. If it has not been added to the database, the TFTP server generates a CFG File Not Found response. Cisco IP Communicator is not registered with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You must manually add Cisco IP Communicator to the database if you are not allowing these devices to auto-register. If you are using DHCP, verify that the DHCP server is pointing to the correct TFTP server. If you are using static IP addresses, check the TFTP server configuration.
Checksum Error	Downloaded software file is corrupted.	Obtain a new copy of the phone firmware and place it in the TFTPPath directory. You should only copy files into this directory when the TFTP server software is shut down; otherwise, the files might be corrupted.
CTL Installed	A CTL file is installed on Cisco IP Communicator.	None. This message is informational only. See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide at this URL: http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​us/​products/​sw/​voicesw/​ps556/​prod_​maintenance_​guides_​list.html
CTL update failed	Cisco IP Communicator could not update its CTL file.	A problem occurred with the CTL file on the TFTP server. See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide at this URL: http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​us/​products/​sw/​voicesw/​ps556/​prod_​maintenance_​guides_​list.html
DHCP timeout	DHCP server did not respond.	Network is busy—The errors should resolve themselves when the network load reduces. No network connectivity between the DHCP server and Cisco IP Communicator —Verify the network connections. DHCP server is down—Check the DHCP server configuration. Errors persist—Consider assigning a static IP address.
DNS timeout	DNS server did not respond.	Network is busy—The errors should resolve themselves when the network load reduces. No network connectivity between the DNS server and Cisco IP Communicator—Verify the network connections. DNS server is down—Check the DNS server configuration.
DNS unknown host	DNS could not resolve the TFTP server name or Cisco Unified Communications Manager.	Verify that the TFTP server host names of Cisco Unified Communications Manager are properly configured in DNS. Consider using IP addresses rather than host names.
Duplicate IP	Another device is using the IP address assigned to Cisco IP Communicator.	If Cisco IP Communicator has a static IP address, verify that you have not assigned a duplicate IP address. If you are using DHCP, check the DHCP server configuration.
Error update locale	One or more localization files could not be found in the TFTPPath directory or were not valid. The locale was not changed.	Check that these files are located within subdirectories in the TFTPPath directory: Located in subdirectory with same name as network locale: g3-tones.xml Located in subdirectory with same name as user locale: ipc-sccp.jar ipc-sip.jar
File auth error	An error occurred when Cisco IP Communicator tried to validate the signature of a signed file. This message includes the name of the file that failed.	The file is corrupted. If the file is a phone configuration file, delete Cisco IP Communicator from the database. Then add it to the database by using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. There is a problem with the CTL file, and the key for the server from which files are obtained is bad. In this case, run the CTL client and update the CTL file, making sure that the proper TFTP servers are included in this file.
File not found	Cisco IP Communicator cannot locate the phone load file that is specified in the phone configuration file on the TFTP server.	Make sure that the phone load file is on the TFTP server and that the entry in the configuration file is correct.
IP address released	Cisco IP Communicator has been configured to release its IP address.	Cisco IP Communicator remains idle until you reset the DHCP address.
Load Auth Failed	Cisco IP Communicator could not load a configuration file.	The configuration file that Cisco IP Communicator received from the server identified in this message is corrupt. Make sure that a good version of the configuration file exists on that server.
Load Auth Failed	A signed phone load file has been modified or renamed.	Make sure that the phone load file that Cisco IP Communicator is downloading has not been altered or renamed.
Load ID incorrect	Load ID of the software file is of the wrong type.	Check the load ID assigned to Cisco IP Communicator in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (Device > Phone). Verify that the load ID is entered correctly.
Load rejected HC	The application that was downloaded is not compatible with the phone hardware.	Occurs if you were attempting to install a version of software on this Cisco IP Communicator that did not support hardware changes on this newer phone. Check the load ID assigned to the phone in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (Device > Phone). Re-enter the load displayed on the phone.
No CTL installed	A CTL file is not installed in Cisco IP Communicator.	Occurs if security is not configured or, if security is configured, because the CTL file does not exist on the TFTP server. See the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide at this URL: http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​us/​products/​sw/​voicesw/​ps556/​prod_​maintenance_​guides_​list.html
No default router	DHCP or static configuration did not specify a default router.	If Cisco IP Communicator has a static IP address, verify that the default router has been configured. If you are using DHCP, the DHCP server has not provided a default router. Check the DHCP server configuration.
No DNS server IP	A name was specified but DHCP or static IP configuration did not specify a DNS server address.	If Cisco IP Communicator has a static IP address, verify that the DNS server has been configured. If you are using a DHCP server, it did not provide a DNS server address. Check the DHCP server configuration.
Programming Error	Cisco IP Communicator failed during programming.	Attempt to resolve this error by exiting (or closing) the application and then relaunching it. If the problem persists, contact Cisco technical support for assistance.

Windows Performance Tool Setup

Set up and Run Windows XP Performance Tool

You can monitor application performance by using the Windows Performance tool to gauge the impact that other applications might have on Cisco IP Communicator (for example, in preparation for an internal pilot). You might also want to monitor performance if users complain of degraded Cisco IP Communicator performance when other applications are running.

Before You Begin

Before starting this test, ensure that only the operating system and applications that run all the time (anti-virus, security, instant message applications, and so forth) are running along with Cisco IP Communicator.

Procedure

---

Step 1	Start the Windows Performance Tool by choosing Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Performance.
Step 2	Click Performance Logs and Alerts to expand it in the left pane of the Performance window.
Step 3	Name the log file: In the left pane, select Counter Logs, right-click, and choose New Log Settings. In the New Log Settings pop-up, enter the log file name, and click OK.
Step 4	Choose Cisco IP Communicator-specific performance counters when the next pop-up window appears: Make sure the General Tab is selected, and click Add Counters to add counters to monitor. In the next window, perform these steps: Choose Select Counters From Computer (the name of the computer should appear in the list).   Set PerformanceObject to Process.   In Select Counters From List, choose process-related counters from the list. While selecting these counters, press the Ctrl key to add more than one at a time. Note    The following counters are recommended: %Processor Time, IO Other Bytes, IO Read Bytes/sec , IO Write Bytes/sec, Private Bytes, and Working Set. In Select Instances From List, choose communicatork9 from the list, and click Add. When you are finished adding counters, click Close. In the window that appears, review the list of counters that you added. Make adjustments, if necessary.
Step 5	Define the time interval for monitoring. Enter values for Interval and Units (for example Interval = 1 and Units = seconds). This setting applies to all counters in the list.
Step 6	Select the Log Files Tab, and define the format in which performance data is saved: For Log File Type, select Text File (Comma Delimited) to create a comma-delimited file. Note the location where the file is saved. Click Apply.
Step 7	Select the Schedule Tab, and enter information to start and stop the log. Click Apply and OK. You can also manually start and stop the log by clicking the buttons on the toolbar. Run the test for the duration that seems appropriate for the type of problem that you are trying to resolve. For example, if Cisco IP Communicator fails right after it is launched, you might want to run the performance test for only 5 to 10 minutes. However, if there are problems that occur after a long period of usage, you might need to run the test for 8 hours.
Step 8	Run the test again when other CPU intensive applications (Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Word) are running in the background. Compare the results from the tests. Cisco IP Communicator CPU usage should stay near the baseline while other applications are running in the background.
Step 9	Import the file from its saved location into a spreadsheet.
