General Troubleshooting Information

The following table provides general troubleshooting information for the Cisco IP Phone.
Table 1: Cisco IP Phone Troubleshooting
Summary
Connecting a Cisco IP Phone to
another Cisco IP Phone
Prolonged broadcast storms cause IP
phones to reset, or be unable to make
or answer a call
Explanation
Cisco does not support connecting an IP phone to another IP Phone
through the PC port. Each IP Phone should connect directly to a switch
port. If phones are connected together in a line by using the PC port,
the phones do not work.
Note
The Cisco 7832 conference phone does not have a PC
port.
A prolonged Layer 2 broadcast storm (lasting several minutes) on the
voice VLAN may cause IP phones to reset, lose an active call, or be
unable to initiate or answer a call. Phones may not come up until a
broadcast storm ends.
