Alcatel Unleashed

Hi,

I am have just installed 15 new phones in my organisation for a new section we are creating. These phones are attached to a cisco 3560 PoE 48 Port Switch and no computer is attached to the IP Phones. I am having a problem because about 3 of the phones I installed are resetting intermittently about 4 to 5 times a day.

Here is the defence 99 log from one of the Sets

From incvisu I have these notifications

I have checked the physical cabling in the wall. Swapped the ports and ran a fluke down and got no errors, I have changed ports on the switch, I even changed sets and the issue is still occuring.

I am also getting Protocol errors come up in incvisu and I am not sure what these mean if they could be related.

Would anybody be able to help me please?

Normally I see this when the phones do not have the right binaries installed, so they reset trying to download the correct binaries, but there are issues for the ip phones going from certain binaries to other certain binaries so they continually reset. I believe their is a TC on this.

First thing to check is:

19/11/07 11:08:36 000001M|07/00/-/---|=3:4401=Ethernet broadcast reception disabled due to excessive traffic

This is a very bad sympthom.

Second of that: check incinfo GEA 0378

"On Cause 20 and 21, only notice the problem, and give"

On this incident:

19/11/07 11:08:10 000001M|19/03/0/178|=3:0378=IP Phone sig incident 6,(19,2),00:80:9f:66:f2:8a,342

6 = Link out of service - Link down
19,2 = Shelf, Board
00:80:9f:66:f2:8a,342 = Mac Address

Seems that by some reason the phone lost connection with the PBX, taking on consideration the next message I'd say it's a network problem. Do you have VLANS for each equipment? How is the priority on them?

Hi all,

Once i´ve experienced a problem like this on with a brand new 4068´s, and the problem were with the binarys, i had to reset them, voilá everything´s right.
(I made a SW upgrade on that weekend, and the 4068´s, were the one´s having problem´s)

What does the system respond to the "downstat" command?
I have a problem on one of my sites, but with 4039 phones. They fail to download the binaries from the system. I get some errors but they seem to work fine.

Regards.
