Movi troubleshooting 

Error messages 

A short error message is displayed on-screen when communication errors occur with the Cisco VCS. 
Below are descriptions of relevant troubleshooting strategies, grouped by error message headings. 

Login failed 

Wrong username, domain, and/or password 

 

Check Audit.log and make sure that the username and domain used for the login attempt are correct. 

 

In Cisco TMS, go to Systems > Provisioning > Directory and verify that the user exists and has 
been provided with the correct username and password.  

 

In Cisco TMS, go to Administrative Tools > TMS Agent Diagnostics and verify that replication 
between the Cisco TMS and Cisco VCS works by running Verifies that users created on the Local 
TMS Agent replicates to all the TMS Agent LDAP databases in the cluster.
 

 

If connecting through a Cisco VCS Expressway: 

 

Go to VCS configuration > Registration > Deny List and check whether the Deny list is 
enabled. 

 

If so, go to VCS configuration > Registration > Allow List and verify that the user has been 
added to the Allow list. 

 

Check whether the Cisco VCS is in maintenance mode and therefore new calls and registrations are 
disallowed, and existing registrations are allowed to expire. 

Out of licenses 

All available licenses are already in use. Check for available Movi licenses in Cisco TMS under 
Administrative Tools > Configuration > General Settings > License and Option Keys. 

Connection rejected by server application 

 

Something other than the Cisco VCS may be rejecting the connection. Trace where the error 
message is coming from. Is there a SIP proxy in use? 

 

Make sure Movi is trying to connect to the right IP address for the Cisco VCS. 

The server application is not responding 

The Cisco TMS Agent could be down.  

1.  Go to Administrative Tools > TMS Agent Diagnostics.  

2.  Check the status of the Cisco TMS Agent on the Cisco VCS the user is trying to connect to. 

The server did not respond in time 

The login request reached the server, but no provisioning message reached the client.  

 

Make sure no firewalls are blocking communication from the server to the client. 

 

The user’s subzone may be missing from the Cisco VCS configuration. 

 

Go to VCS configuration > Local Zone > Subzones.

 

 

Verify that the user is included in an existing subzone.
