General Troubleshooting Tips
Loopback condition
A loopback condition can occur when the following conditions are
met:
•
The SW Port Configuration option in the Network
Configuration 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 configures.
Peer to peer image distribution
fails.
If the peer to peer image distribution fails, the phone will default to
using the TFTP server to download firmware. Access the log
messages stored on the remote logging machine to help debug the
peer to peer image distribution feature.
Note
These log messages are different than the log messages sent
to the phone log.
Cisco VT Advantage/ Unified
Video Advantage (CVTA)
If you are having problems getting CVTA to work, make sure that
the PC Port is enabled, and that CDP is enabled on the PC port.
