Known Problems in this Release
This section lists the currently known problems in the Cisco SIP IP phone Version 2.0.
Problem: Cisco SIP IP phone crashes with an async break or PC reboot (CSCds20969)
Problem Description: The Cisco SIP IP phone might lock up if a break is sent to the phone via the RS-232 port. The phone might also lock up if the PC to which the RS-232 port is attached is rebooted.
Recommended Action: Unplug and replug the power cord on the phone.
Problem: When the network media is manually configured, the inline power does not work when connected to a Catalyst 3500 switch (CSCds27516)
Problem Description: When the network media is manually configured, the inline power support does not work when the Cisco SIP IP phone is connected to a Catalyst 3500 switch.
Recommended Action: When connecting to a Catalyst 3500 switch, configure the phone to automatically negotiate the network media type by selecting Auto for the Network Media Type parameter located in the Network Configuration menu.
Problem: When in overview mode, the Cisco SIP IP phone soft keys do not work (CSCds35841)
Problem Description: Pressing a line button during a call displays the overview screen on which there is located a Redial and NewCall soft key. However, these soft keys are ignored by the phone if pressed.
Recommended Action: Return to the call screen (wait 8 seconds for the call screen to reappear or press the line button again).
Problem: Being idle for an extended period of time might result in a one-way voice path on the Cisco SIP IP phone (CSCds52144)
Problem Description: An extended period of time of being idle (for example, weeks) might result in a one-way RTP on the Cisco SIP IP phone. This problem causes a one-way voice path when receiving or placing a call.
Recommended Action: Unplug and replug the power cord on the phone.
Problem: CSeq number is not verified in NOTIFY messages (CSCds61592))
Problem Description: The Cisco SIP IP phone does not verify the CSeq number in incoming NOTIFY messages.
Recommended Action: None.
Problem: Caller cannot terminate a call transferred back by the Callee (CSCds64602)
Problem Description: The Cisco SIP phone does not properly handle the following call scenario:
–
–
–
Recommended Action: Press the speaker button or go off hook and back on hook several times to terminate the call.
Problem: Cached DNS entry causes failures in a farmed proxy server environment (CSCds76511)
Description: The Cisco SIP IP phone only caches the first IP address that is returned from a DNS lookup. The phone does not attempt to use any other IP address when the first IP address is unreachable. This might causes problems when a server farm with multiple IP addresses is used and the proxy server with the first IP address is down.
Recommended Action: Use a shorter Time to Live (TTL) value for the DNS entry.
Problem: Cisco SIP IP phone does not support BYE message for early call termination (CSCds80665)
Description: The Cisco SIP IP phone currently does not accept a SIP BYE request for early call termination (before a 200 OK response is received). The Cisco SIP IP phone expects a CANCEL instead.
Recommended Action: When early call termination is required, send a SIP CANCEL instead of a SIP BYE request.
Problem: Spanning-tree problem occurring (CSCds85154)
Description: When a device is first attached to the Cisco SIP IP phone access port (labeled 10/100 PC), it takes approximately nine seconds for the phone to begin forwarding traffic on that port. This impacts the ability to get DHCP requests through on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT PCs.
Recommended Action: If a problem getting DHCP requests on bootup, use the Microsoft Windows IP configuration utility to renew the DHCP address after the phone has been up for more than 9 seconds.
Problem: Message Waiting Indication (MWI) for Cisco uOne Messaging System with the Cisco SIP IP phone does not work after a phone reboot (CSCdt11124))
Problem Description: The MWI on the Cisco SIP IP phone is not retained following a phone power cycle or reboot because the Unsolicited Notify is a single event that occurs at the time a message is deposited or retrieved.
Recommended Action: None. If a system upgrade or other action that requires a phone reboot is to be performed, notify the end users of this condition.

Three-way Calling not Supported in Version 2.0
The three-way calling feature, while noted as SIP feature in the Cisco SIP IP Phone 7960 Administrator Guide Version 2.0, is not supported in the Version 2.0. However, three-way calling will be supported in a subsequent 2.x release.
