Phone Resets Due To Intermittent Network Outages; Phone Resets Due To Dhcp Setting Errors; Phone Resets Due To Incorrect Static Ip Address; Phone Resets During Heavy Network Usage - Cisco 7821 Administration Manual

Typically, a phone resets if it has problems in connecting to the Ethernet network or to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.

Phone Resets Due to Intermittent Network Outages

Problem
Your network may be experiencing intermittent outages.
Solution
Intermittent network outages affect data and voice traffic differently. Your network might be experiencing
intermittent outages without detection. If so, data traffic can resend lost packets and verify that packets are
received and transmitted. However, voice traffic cannot recapture lost packets. Rather than retransmitting a
lost network connection, the phone resets and attempts to reconnect to the network. Contact the system
administrator for information on known problems in the voice network.

Phone Resets Due to DHCP Setting Errors

Problem
The DHCP settings may be incorrect.
Solution
Verify that you have properly configured the phone to use DHCP. Verify that the DHCP server is set up
properly. Verify the DHCP lease duration. Cisco recommends that you set the lease duration to 8 days.

Phone Resets Due to Incorrect Static IP Address

Problem
The static IP address assigned to the phone may be incorrect.
Solution
If the phone is assigned a static IP address, verify that you have entered the correct settings.

Phone Resets During Heavy Network Usage

Problem
If the Cisco IP Phone appears to reset during heavy network usage, it is likely that you do not have a voice
VLAN configured.
