being used in 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 7-8for 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 7-8for information about

 

 

displaying these statistics.

 

 

Loopback condition.

A loopback condition can occur when the following conditions are met:

 

 

The SW Port Configuration option in the Network Setup menu on the

 

 

phone is set to 10 Half

 

 

(10-BaseT / half duplex)

 

 

The phone receives power from an external power supply

 

 

The phone is powered down (the power supply is disconnected)

 

 

In this case, the switch port on the phone can become disabled and the

 

 

following message will appear in the switch console log:

 

 

HALF_DUX_COLLISION_EXCEED_THRESHOLD

 

 

To resolve this problem, re-enable the port from the switch.

 

 

 

One-way audio.

 

When at least one person in a call does not receive audio, IP connectivity

 

 

between phones is not established. Check the configurations in routers and

 

 

switches to ensure that IP connectivity is properly configured.

 

 

Phone call cannot be established

The phone does not have a DHCP IP address, is unable to register to Cisco

 

 

Unified Communications Manager, and shows a Configuring IP or Registering

 

 

message.

 

 

Verify the following:

 

 

1. The Ethernet cable is attached.

 

 

2. The Cisco CallManager service is running on the Cisco Unified

 

 

Communications Manager server.

 

 

3. Both phones are registered to the same Cisco Unified Communications

 

 

Manager.

 

 

4. Audio server debug and capture logs are enabled for both phones. If

 

 

needed, enable Java debug.
