Had a bizarre issue with one of the customer where they were trying to dial an internal extension and it was going to a mobile phone. There were no CFA/CFNA/CFB set on the extension itself but for some reason it was following this path. The Call manager version was 6.x. The call routing was designed [...]

A customer reported an issue with their 7941 phone. The issue was they plugged in a new 7941 all configured at Call manager and it was showing “Error pass Limit” as follows: This sort of error normally comes when you have one of the following conditions: Too many unassigned directory numbers in Call manager i.e. [...]

Recently we had a customer who asked if there is any way they can logout all users from extension mobility at the same time? There is no straight forward answer if you google it so I thought to compile this post for a quick reference. You can do this from Bulk Administration. Just browse to [...]

I initially thought it could be a network issue from switches to CUCME gateway as the config was looking fine to me. I did a show ephone [...]

I had an interesting case where SIP calls over a SIP trunk were dropping after like 75 minutes. The duration was not confirmed as sometimes it use to drop even before 75 minutes. I looked into few CCSIP debugs (debug ccsip messages) and found that the ‘BYE’ message was actually coming from our end (Call [...]

I had an interesting case last week where calls over ICT trunk would connect but then either party will not hear each other for 8-10 seconds. The issue was first reported from US users trying to reach UK users over an Inter-cluster trunk (Non-GK). Both clusters had two call managers version 8.0.3. The whole issue [...]

Came across an interesting issue where Customer was not able to access Disaster Recovery drop downs. I tried it myself and I was getting as follows: So it was Local agent not responding – I tried restarting the Cisco DRF Master and Local but that didn’t help. This is what I did to resolve the [...]
