Summary

 

Explanation

 

 

Changing the telephone

By default, the network configuration options are locked to

configuration

 

prevent users from making changes that could impact their

 

 

network connectivity. You must unlock the network

 

 

configuration options before you can configure them. See the

 

 

“Unlocking and Locking Options” section on page 4-4 for

 

 

details.

 

 

LCD display issues.

If the display appears to have rolling lines or a wavy pattern, it

 

 

might be interacting with certain types of older fluorescent

 

 

lights in the building. Moving the phone away from the lights,

 

 

or replacing the lights, should resolve the problem.

 

 

Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency

When you are on a call that requires keypad input, if you press

(DTMF) delay

 

the keys too quickly, some of them might not be recognized.

 

 

Codec mismatch between the phone

The RxType and the TxType statistics show the codec that is

and another device

being used for a conversation between this Cisco

 

 

Unified IP phone and the other device. These values of these

 

 

statistics should match. If they do not, verify that the other

 

 

device can handle the codec conversation or that a transcoder is

 

 

in place to handle the service.

 

 

See the “Call Statistics Screen” section on page 7-16 for

 

 

information about displaying these statistics.

 

 

Sound sample mismatch between the

The RxSize and the TxSize statistics show the size of the voice

phone and another device

packets that is being used a conversation between this Cisco

 

 

Unified IP phone and the other device. The values of these

 

 

statistics should match.

 

 

See the “Call Statistics Screen” section on page 7-16 for

 

 

information about displaying these statistics.

 

 

Gaps in voice calls

Check the AvgJtr and the MaxJtr statistics. A large variance

 

 

between these statistics might indicate a problem with jitter on

 

 

the network or periodic high rates of network activity.

 

 

See the “Call Statistics Screen” section on page 7-16 for

 

 

information about displaying these statistics.
