Chapter 6 Troubleshooting Personal Assistant

Resolving Problems with Using Personal Assistant

–Refresh the speech grammar by clicking Refresh Now on the Speech Services Configuration page (System > Speech Services). If the problem persists, verify that the package was created (look for xcopy errors in the Personal Assistant log on the primary server), and contact Cisco TAC.

•The time changed on the Personal Assistant server, or there is a large time difference between the speech servers and the Cisco CallManager servers. To solve this problem:

–Ensure that the times are consistent on these machines, which typically obtain their time from the domain controller when the servers reside in a Windows domain.

Personal Assistant Is Too Slow to Answer Calls

If it takes a long time for Personal Assistant to answer calls to the Personal Assistant number, it is likely that you are using IP addresses for speech server or license managers in your configuration, and your DNS server is not set up to resolve an IP address to an IP address.

To resolve the problem, either reconfigure your DNS server to add IP address to the same IP address mapping, or change the Personal Assistant configuration to identify the speech servers and license managers by using DNS host names.

Callers Hear a Busy Tone When Calling Personal Assistant

When callers to the Personal Assistant number hear a busy tone, you might have one of the following problems:

•Callers always hear busy tone—If callers always hear a busy signal, it could mean any of the following problems exist:

–Personal Assistant is not running. Check the status of the servers by using the control center (System > Control Center).

–No media ports are defined. Check the server configuration (Servers > Server Configuration) and add ports if necessary. You must also create the ports in Cisco CallManager. See the “Configuring Personal Assistant Servers” section on page 4-10and the “Adding Media Ports for Personal Assistant” section on page 3-10for more information.

–The Personal Assistant CTI route points are not assigned to the JTAPI user for

Personal Assistant. You must assign the route points used for the Personal Assistant number, the automated attendant number (if any), and all route points used as Personal Assistant interceptor ports.

•Callers occasionally hear a busy tone—Either add more media ports or install additional

Personal Assistant servers. When callers occasionally hear a busy tone, the call load from your users is heavier than the existing setup can handle.

A User Hears a Busy Tone When Calling Another User

If two users each have phone DNs that exactly match the DNs of Personal Assistant interceptor port route points that are configured in Cisco CallManager, the users will hear a busy tone when trying to contact one another by using Personal Assistant.
