VOIP Phone "HOLD" Problems
Today the office received an important call for Provost Bain. The caller was placed on hold. At this point, Provost Bain was unable to pick up the call for more than 30 - 45 seconds. Everyone in the office tried to pick up the line that was placed on hold (at different times of course) and were unable to do so. This apparently is a major concern and is not working for us. We have tried to adjust to this...but it has become frustrating to us all. We really need to remedy this problem.
Are you trying to retrieve a call which is placed on hold or has it been parked? When a call is parked, it cannot be retrieved from hold from the Parked Calls window. I only suspect it to be a parked call.
Check out this document for more details.

You have probably heard this many times : I have bought a VOIP usb phone. The cd comes with a program to download Skype and Skypemate. When I activate Skype and Skypemate, skypemate does not recognize that Skype is working, therefore the features on my USB phone will not work i.e. the use of the dialpad and other buttons.
I bought the USB Wireless Phone model 3J-W1D, generic I know, shame shame, but I just want to know if there is any way I can make my phone work properly.
I have tried downgrading to skype 5.0.0.152 and skype 4.0.0.226 and thier captable skypemates, but with no success. So I was wondering if there is hope, or have I reached VOIP Hell....

No news that I am aware of on that.

I have been using a Verizon dry loop DSL and VOIP (VYLMedia) for my phone for about two years. About one year ago (with no equipment change) the call would temporarily drop and then reconnect. This was a hindrance but at least you could talk. The past couple of months the frequency of dropping out during a call as about every 3 sec and I cannot carry on a conversation this way. I was told by my VOIP provider, 1-VOIP, that this is called jitter.
I have been working with the tech rep for over a week now and we cannot get it resolved. I have a Westell Versalink 327W wireless router (Verizon) and a Linksys SPA2102-R phone adaptor from 1-VOIP. He did alot of tweaking to no avail. He sent me a new phone adaptor this morning and that didn't help.
After this morning's tweaking session this is what he told me:
You are currently being registered on 50484 to our system, which can indicate that your ISP and/or equipment is blocking the proper authentication and registration on the appropriate ports.
You will need to forward the following ports to the phone adapter in order to have consistent phone quality as well as incoming phone calls:
5060-5160 UDP
10,000 – 20,000 UDP
You can still obtain this configuration with the proper ports forward which will ensure you have consistent and proper voice quality.
Using a link I found in this forum I tested the quality of line for speed and jitter. It showed 0.0mg jitter and no packet loss. The MOS score was 3.9. Upload: 738Download: 2.8
I am now thoroughly confused and have no idea how to get this resolved. Any takers?Obviously the line is transferring data as it should. Do the following:
Log into the Westell at http://192.168.1.1/ using one of the following login credentials:
admin/password
admin/password1
admin/admin
admin/admin1
From there, go to System Monitoring, click on Advanced Monitors, and then choose Transceiver Statistics. From there, close the Transceiver Statistics page and then visit the System Logging section. Select the "All" log and post up the contents of that log. If you get an error about the post being too lengthy, use http://pastebin.com/ to post the log by providing the URL of your paste.
Next, go to the Firewall section of the Westell and ensure the Firewall is not by any chance enabled. If it is enabled, disable it by selecting "No Security."

Problem transferring calls between Voip phones when the call is originated
Hi,
I have configured a gateway h323 (3640- 12.3) to communicate with Cisco Callmanager 3.3(4).
On the H323 gateway I have installed one BRI interface and one FXS interface.
Inside my network I am using VoIP telephones 7910.
Originating calls in the Voip telephones which destination is the PSTN is working fine;
Receiving calls from PSTN that destination is VoIP telephones is OK also;
Redirecting or doing Hold on calls between VoiP telephones works but ..
When redirecting or doing Hold on calls between a VoiP telephone and a call from PSTN I loose the voice stream.
Apparently, all signalling is working fine because when redirecting the call originated in the PSTN from one VoIP telephone to another VoIP telephone, I can see the Calling number ID. Even if I use the telephone keyboard, I can listen the tones, but I have no voice stream.
Please any help will be welcome.
Thanks,
David CostaI have tried different configurations and now it is working. The problem is that I couldnt identify were the miss configuration was.
Another question is: Can I use a codec with compression between voip interface of h323 gateway and the Callmanager or Voip phones to pass music on hold?
Now I only pass music on hold if I configure G.711 on the voip interface of h323 gateway.
Thanks,

WRT54GL & Cisco 7960G VoIP Phone
Hello fellow Cisco users,
I use a Cisco VoIP phone, the ubiquitous 7960G IP phone, and have no problem using it with non-Cisco routers. The phone does not seem to work with the Cisco WRT54GL router under the setup I have as explained below.
I usually connect my Cisco IP phone directly to my laptop's ethernet port giving the phone a shared internet connection. This arrangement works fine with two non-Cisco routers I've used. With the Cisco WRT54GL router however, the phone cannot get an IP configuration, even after opening the needed ports, leading me to believe the problem is likely to be something with the router. I have also tried setting up a DMZ for the router without success. The biggest problem is that the phone uses DHCP (which I also prefer) and the DMZ and port forwarding features require I set the phone's IP address.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on how to resolve this.
Many thanks for suggestions.
PS: I forgot to add that the phone works (i.e. receive and make calls) when plugged via ethernet cable into the router. Apart from the problem of having an ethernet cable running across a room, this setup also has some features missing like date and time so calls aren't stamped.I think your phone is not getting IP address when it is connected to the computer. But when you connect it directly to the modem, it works.
You can try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer with the Ethernet cable to the router.
Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.
Also try to change some advanced wireless settings on the router. Click on Wireless tab and go to Advanced wireless settings. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings. -
VoIP Phones - Testing Latency, Jitter, and Packet Loss
I am having big problems with my VoIP phone connection and I'll try to lay it out clearly here.
The main telephone system resides at Location A (static IP address - see below - xxx.xxx.206.19), which has a network connection of 50MB down/20MB up (i.e., very fast). The VoIP phone configured for that system resides at Location B, which has a network connection of 10MB down/1MB up (i.e., also fast, or at least fast enough "on paper" for a quality VoIP connection). The LAN at Location A uses an Airport Extreme router, which does not have QOS or EF capability. The LAN at Location B uses a D-Link DIR-655 router which does have QOS that is configured properly to direct all traffic to the VoIP phone's IP address.
The VoIP phone at Location B is having intermittent call quality problems with skipping of words, hollowing out noises, jittery conversations, etc. All the inquiries I've made to the ISPs and phone system manufacturer (ESI) suggest that my base Internet speeds are not the problem.
I'm told, instead, that the problem might be latency, jitter, or packet loss between Location A and Location B. This leads to several questions:
(1) Is there any Mac software that can test latency, jitter, and packet loss? I've looked at Network Utility and it seems to only measure a few things.
(2) Does anyone see anything in the following Traceroute and Ping results (done twice from Location B to Location A) that looks problematic to VoIP quality?:

(3) Any other ideas on what my call quality problem might be, or how I can tweak it? For example, would putting a DIR-655 router at Location A and enabling QOS really make a difference?
Thanks to everyone, and I hope this is not too long or difficult to understand.Hey thanks for your reply Yeah im only getting 1 ro sometimes 2 bars reception so hopefully the antenna will beef things up but I think it is what it is perhaps.

DHCP - Cannot add text option for VOIP phones in OES Linux
While working through this, I solved the issue, but decided to post this anyway as it may help others to find these sorts of errors.
I'm working on migrating from NetWare 6.5sp8 to OES11sp2. Client has Shoretel VOIP phones. Existing NetWare-based DHCP has no problem. Option 156 has been configured to give out the required text information that Shoretel phones require.
Problem is that I could not get the OES11 DHCP to run with that option. Nor could I migrate the existing option over - the Migration Tool (in OES11) says it successfully migrates DHCP, but I cannot start the dhcpd daemon. Error is that it failed, and in the rc.dhcpd.log file I see an error:
LDAP Line 26: unknown option dhcp.Shoretel_Boot.
LDAP Line 26: unexpected end of file
LDAP: cannot parse dhcpService entry 'cn=newdhcpservice,o=LIBRARY'
Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting
If I look in the file (created when LDAP reads DHCP config from eDirectory apparently) dhcp-ldap-startup.log I can see the problem entry at line 26:
option Shoretel_Boot "FTPSERVERS=172.30.43.8,COUNTRY=1,LANGUAGE=1,L AYER default-lease-time 259200 ;
This option does NOT show up in the newdhcpservice option when I look at it in ConsoleOne, or DSBROWSE, or DNS/DHCP Management Console.
This option DOES show up in the DNS/DHCPManagement Console if I look at the DHCP (NetWare) tab and look at Other DHCP Options for some of the configured subnets, but it actually has different text from the above, specifically:
FTPSERVERS=172.30.43.8,COUNTRY=1,LANGUAGE=1,LAYER2 TAGGING=1,VLANID=9
Note that it does not have a " character anywhere in the entry. This option is configured as a Global DHCP text option.
Novell TID 7009464 mentions the issue, though not for Option 156. In that TID there is this:
"Situation #2
Migrate a working DHCP server with DHCP options that are of type "Text" to an OES server.
Load the DHCP server service... it fails to load and gives similar errors to the ones listed above."
Under resolution the TID says to delete and recreate the dhcp service object without the text option and it will load. That doesn't work for me as I still get an LDAP error pointing to the Shoretel_Boot unknown option. (I dare not try deleting it from the NetWare DHCP config and risk breaking the client's phone system).
One of the options in the TID to fix this is to re-enter the data using the DNS/DHCP Management Console - but that didn't work.
Here is the answer:
First, the log files are misleading. The error message points to not being able to read the newdhcpservice object entry - but the problem was elsewhere. In fact the problem showed up in the logs even when there were no option 156 entries at all in any object inside the newdhcpservice or the newdhcpservice object itself. The problem existed in the NetWare configuration of the object for one of the dhcp subnets.
Specifically, there was an illegal character in the text entry for option 156 - the # character was in there, like this:
FTPSERVERS=172.30.43.8,COUNTRY=1,LANGUAGE=1,LAYER# 2TAGGING=1,VLANID=9
If you look at the error log entry for syntax error you can see that the option 156 text stopped at the # symbol, and then default-lease-time was appended to the end.
Removing the # symbol got things working.

I bought a CR 122 for my N8.
But allready the first time I rotated it (to get the phone in "portrait mode")
the center pin (from the phone holder to the suction part) became "loose".
It's stable up/down and sideways. But rotates 10 deg each way.
Quite annoying. Is this a common problem? Anyway to thighten it
(must say I liked the old holders with screws and metal parts :-)

Well at least with the N8, you couldn't use the car charger, then - plugs into the normal power socket at the bottom of the handset.
Maybe OK if you're using the USB socket for charging.
Have to say, it was one of the downsides of using a 5230 in the car - if you wanted to use power, you had to plug it into the top of the phone - cable going up the screen, with the phone in portrait orientation - and I have to say, I much prefer sat nav on phones using the screen in portrait mode - as you get to see more of the road ahead of you, rather than a big wide view.
I don't really get the point of using "widescreen" sat navs in landscape mode - I know some roundabouts may look to be complex junctions, but I'd much rather have more view up the road, and more advance warning of where I need to be. -

Nokia please build a wireless charging phone holder to be placed in cars so that drivers can charge their phones while using navigation etc.

Hi if you look http://www.brodit.com/ and put in the make and model of the the device you have they should have a passive or charging holder for your device which can fit in you car. The charging option comes with a cigarette lighter charger attached but there are also options from various engineers who can hardwire the charger cable so that it is hidden and the cigarette isn't obscured.

VoIP phones losing connection randomly for a brief moment
So back story here. Just installed two SG200-26 switches (replacing a unmanaged switch) which are connected together via a trunk.
However my SPA921 VoIP phones randomly have the Mic light flash red (which indicates loss of network connection). It happens for a literally a second and reconnects. When pinging the phone you can see a single ping not getting a reply. It also appears randomly on what seems to be most of the phones but not all at the same time, some may be fine while maybe one or two have the issue. It may have it continuously loosing connection for a brief moments for a while then likewise it my be fine for a while or the rest of the day.
Im looking for some ideas for troubleshooting. So far I tried changing the phone ports to static 10M half duplex instead of autosensing and this seems to not have resolved the issue.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
LiamThis was one of the ports I was having a problem with, It went down and up becuase I had done a Admin Shutdown on it. However what is it refering to by 'Aggregated'?

Hello,
So I am wondering if the issue with VoIP phones is universal with the LRT224 Phone? Has this problem been reproduced in the Linksys labs? Will this issue be addressed by Linksys Engineers?
Would have settuping up VLAN's worked?Hey,
Sorry for the delayed response. We have one LRT224 with two WAN Connections and one LAPN600 for the access point. Our network is completely wireless with around 30 devices total (7 IP Phones). We use Cisco SPA525G Phones.
Our VoIP provider is Jive Communications.
I am using the EA4500 and everything works fine on it. The main issue I am having with these phones going through the LRT224 is that phone calls were not coming, and you could not dial other extension throughout the office.
If you have any other questions, please let me know. -
VOIP phone and airport express
I've been trying to use my old airport express as a remote access point to connect a VOIP phone to my Airport Extreme network. These are both older airports, "pre-N" and from what I've read here, what I'm trying to do won't work.
So, the question is, can I use the new Airport Express(N) to connect the VOIP phone to a Time Capsule(N)? If so, how do I set up the Express? The VOIP phone uses ethernet, and currently works through the LAN on port on my current airport base station.
Thanks.I've use Netgear adapters and a no name brand from DirectTV. Linksys has them, probably D-Link as well. Best Buy will have several to choose from. About $100-150 for a pair.
Now, your question about whether the "g" Express could deliver an ethernet signal. In normal operation, no. But, if the TC and Express were both configured as part of a WDS (Wireless Distribution Network), the ethernet port becomes active in that event. But...you lose half of the bandwidth on your wireless network. WDS is difficult to configure as well.
The newer Express(n) is much simpler to configure and you won't have the big bandwidth penalty with the "extend a wireless network" setup.
Depending on how your wireless signal strength looks in the office, this will work. But, keep in mind there are far more problems with wireless drops, interference issues, etc. The boards are alive with these types of problems.
I think if it were me, (and this was my business phone), I would go with the ethernet powerline adapters, but make sure you get a return for refund privilege...just in case. -
Booted off Verizon Fios Internet when use VOIP phone.
When I use my VOIP phone while on the internet (I use Verison FIOS Internet), I get booted off the internet. I have done what tech support said to do which was to do a hard reboot of the router but after a short while it does it again. They had no more answers for me than that. Does anyone else know what can be done?
Thanks.albcmb wrote:
I have Fios Internet, TV and Phone and so I HAVE to use the Verizon router made by Actiontec. My Mac Book Pro is Leopard based.
Does the router have the latest firmware? Very important.
The problem is that I am paying for 20mbps service and getting about 6 to 8. This is regardless of where I am in physical relation to the router/modem and whether or not I am the only computer connected to the internet.
How are you measuring your speed?
PLEASE help. I have contacted Verizon and they have no ideas that help. I cannot watch Netflix or Boxee and even regular internet pages load painfully slowly.
I have a cable modem that runs at 10Mb/s and internet pages load instantly. On this Verizon DSL I am currently using, which creeps along at a mere 3 Mb/s, pages internet pages load instantly.
Even if your connection is 6 to 8 Mb/s, pages should load instantly, and streaming should work properly.
Clearly, you have some other problem with your system.
Again, how are you measuring your speed? What is your link speed? What are your measured upload and download speeds?
If you are using the router as a WiFi then you may not be getting the full speed you expect from a direct connection.
You need to supply much more real hard data than you have.
Your subject says that "Verizon Fios Internet, TV and Phone with Mac Book Pro is SLOW!" and Leopard has nothing to do with your TV or phone.

Using existing VOIP phone on FDV
Hey - recently switched to the triple play w/ digital voice. I guess I am lucky after reading some of these comments - the service is working very well using my standard phones and existing wall jacks. i only have one wish - prior to switching, I had VOIP and a great VOIP phone connected to my old router that i really like. I would like to be able to connect this phone to my VZ router and continue to use, along w/the standard phones.
has anyone else tried this or had any luck? Of course talking to tech reps on the phone i get two different answers - so trying to find out the real answer from anyone that has real experience :-)
thanks for any input you may have available!Howdy, I have at least followed these steps to make VoIP SIP work on the E71 no problems:

Xact XVP640 USB voip phone from Skype 1.0
I went to the Xact website to download driver software, but its not working with newer versions of skype.
can you please hand me an iso cd rom image for all the software that came with the Xact xvp640?
The newer version of Skyp is not compatible with this usb phone, and the new version of Skype keeps locking up the computer here, lagging and won't stop messing up.
I don't need video chat, txt messaging and all that, just Skype 1.0 the skybee driver can't even tell the phone is plugged in from the newer driver for the unit.
an iso cd rom image for the Xact xvp640 would be appreciated, including the device driver and skype release that was on the cd rom. Thanks,
The Skype 5.0 is terrible, and does not work properly on this new computer.A few days after I originally posted this and I have just solved the problem, nothing to do with the iMac or the VOIP phone.
I figured out that I needed to do some more configuration to the router I received from my new ISP in order to disable a hidden SIP setting hat otherwise prevents VOIP from working properly.
