Tone Commander 7210/7220 Network Administration Guide 13-102865 Rev. KPage 21 of 32 Packet Diagnostics Menu Packet statistics are tabulated on a per call, per call appearance basis, and may be viewed while a call is in progress or after a call is completed. Counts are updated once a second while a call is in progress. Statistics are saved for the most recent call on each call appearance. As soon as a new call (inbound or outbound) is initiated, statistics for the previous call on that call appearance are lost. Expected arrival times for packet delay calculations are based on the arrival time of the first packet in the call; this reference time is re-established on underflow and overflow events. Packet statistics are viewed through the Packet Diagnostics menu (Setup → ADMIN → DIAG → PACKET). Concealed packet statistics are displayed first; press the More 4 key to view additional packet types. The following statistics are recorded and displayed: Concealed Packets – total number of packets that were concealed during audio playback; also expressed as a percentage of total packets (concealed packets)/(total number of expected packets). This measurement is done at the audio playback point and correlates to audible dropouts in the voice path due to lost packets, packets received but delayed beyond the jitter buffer playback time, or jitter buffer underflow (no packets in the buffer). During packet concealment, the last received packet is replayed at a reduced level to minimize the audio interruption. Silence is played if multiple packets must be concealed. Lost Packets – total number of expected packets that were not received; also expressed as a percentage of total packets (lost packets)/(total number of expected packets). Lost packets are computed by comparing the expected packet count (based on RTP packet sequence numbers) to the count of actual packets received. Lost packet counts are a result of network performance and cannot be improved by local jitter buffer settings. Lost packets = (last RTP sequence number - first RTP sequence number) - number of packets received. Delayed >80ms – total number of packets received later than 80ms after the expected arrival time; also expressed as a percentage of total packets (>80ms packets)/(total number of expected packets). Delayed packets may or may not be played, depending on jitter buffer settings. Delayed 70ms – total number of packets received between 70ms and 80ms after the expected arrival time; also expressed as a percentage of total packets (70-80ms packets)/(total number of expected packets). Delayed 60ms – total number of packets received between 60ms and 70ms after the expected arrival time; also expressed as a percentage of total packets (60-70ms packets)/(total number of expected packets). Delayed 50ms – total number of packets received between 50ms and 60ms after the expected arrival time; also expressed as a percentage of total packets (50-60ms packets)/(total number of expected packets). Delayed 40ms – total number of packets received between 40ms and 50ms after the expected arrival time; also expressed as a percentage of total packets (40-50ms packets)/(total number of expected packets). DIAGNOSTIC OPTIONS LINK PACKET PING CONCEALED=27

Page 22 of 3213-102865 Rev. K Delayed 30ms – total number of packets received between 30ms and 40ms after the expected arrival time; also expressed as a percentage of total packets (30-40ms packets)/(total number of expected packets). Delayed 20ms – total number of packets received between 20ms and 30ms after the expected arrival time; also expressed as a percentage of total packets (20-30ms packets)/(total number of expected packets). Not Delayed – total number of packets received earlier than 20ms after the expected arrival time; also expressed as a percentage of total packets (not delayed packets)/(total number of expected packets). These are normal packets that have average transmission delay, but with minimal jitter delay or packets that arrive early. Underflow Events – total number of jitter buffer underflow events. An underflow occurs when the jitter buffer “runs dry”, usually due to an interruption in the packet stream. This causes an audible dropout in the audio playback until enough additional packets are received to fill the jitter buffer to the average value setting. Overflow Events – total number of jitter buffer overflow events. An overflow sometimes occurs when a burst of packets arrives that exceeds the capacity of the jitter buffer. In this instance, the most recent packets are retained and the earliest packets in the jitter buffer are dropped to make room. This causes an audible “skip” in the audio playback to restore the jitter buffer contents to the average value setting. In some cases, an overflow event may follow an underflow event if a group of packets experience unusual burst delay. An overflow event can also occur on a long-duration call, due to slight differences in packet rates between sender and receiver. Codec/Jitter Buffer Settings – shows the negotiated codec and associated jitter buffer selections for the current call. These values are based on the codec and jitter buffer settings in the phone, as well as iMerge codec settings, and are negotiated on a per-call basis. Total Packets - total number of expected packets in the call, based on RTP sequence numbers (last received RTP packet sequence number) – (first received RTP packet sequence number). This number may be higher than the actual number of packets played during a call, since it also includes lost packets and underflow packets.

Tone Commander 7210/7220 Network Administration Guide 13-102865 Rev. KPage 23 of 32 Troubleshooting _______________________________ 7210 and 7220 telephones have built-in diagnostic, logging, and testing capabilities to quickly isolate problems affecting their operation. Network Troubleshooting Whenever power is applied or a connection is made to the LAN or WAN, the phone initiates a startup routine, with progress shown in the display. When the phone and network are fully initialized, the idle display, indicating date and time, will be shown. Problem ObservedRemedial Action No display information is shown. Check power connections and source. “NO ETHERNET CONNECTION” is shown continuously.Check connections to the LAN or WAN. “DHCP ERROR RETRYING” etc… is shown continuously.Verify that the DHCP server is operating and accessible. If the LAN/WAN does not include a DHCP server, disable IP configuration via DHCP and enter the appropriate values (IP address, default gateway, TFTP address), using the INSTL→IP menu. “iMERGE= “There is no iMerge address (new phone). Enter the appropriate iMerge IP address. “ALIAS= “ is shown continuously.Either there is no Alias (new phone) or the previously-entered Alias has been rejected by iMerge (Error Log of the phone reports “INVALID ALIAS”). Enter the appropriate Alias. “H235 PW= “ is shown continuously.Either there is no H.235 password (new phone) or the previously- entered password has been rejected by iMerge (the Error Log of the phone reports “SECURITY DENIAL”). Enter the appropriate password or press the Done key without entering a password, if a password is not required at iMerge. “RETRY INITIALIZATION?” is shown continuously.The IP address, default gateway, or subnet mask have been changed from the Setup menu. Select ‘YES’ to initialize with new values. “ENTER PRIMARY PHONE # - - “ is shown continuously.Auto-SPID is not supported by the telco network. The phone prompts the user to enter the ten digit DN of the phone. This entry will construct a generic format SPID (for National ISDN). “ENTER PRIMARY PHONE # - “ is shown continuously.The phone prompts the user to enter the seven digit (no area code) primary DN of the phone. This entry will construct a Custom format SPID (for Lucent Custom ISDN). “ID= “ is shown continuously.The SPID sent previously has been rejected by the telco network. The user must enter the actual SPID. “IP:DHCP FAIL”, etc. is shown continuously.Upon lease expiry, the phone was unable to negotiate a new lease with the DHCP server. Verify that the DHCP server is operating and accessible. “PHY:100MBPS IP:LINKED L3:DOWN SWITCH:UNKNOWN” is shown continuously.ISDN Layer 3 of the phone is not initialized. Select RESTART from the ADMIN Menu. Entry of the actual SPID may be required.

Page 24 of 3213-102865 Rev. K Problem ObservedRemedial Action “NO TFTP SERVER ADDRESS “ “ EDIT “There is no TFTP address and a manual or automatic software version query was attempted by the phone. Enter the appropriate TFTP address. “NO TFTP SERVER RESPONSE “ “ EDIT “A manual or automatic software version query was attempted by the phone, but the addressed TFTP server did not respond. Using the ADMIN/DIAG/PING/TFTP menu, ping the programmed address. If there is no response to the ping: 1) verify that the TFTP server is operational; 2) verify that the programmed address is correct and edit if necessary. “1= “ The above is shown and no dial tone is received after an attempt to originate a call.If iMerge does not respond to “keep alive” messages sent by the phone, recovery procedures are initiated by the phone to re-establish the link to the iMerge CFG. If an attempt to originate a call is made during these procedures, the “1= “ display and no receipt of dial tone will be observed. Wait or initiate a restart via the ADMIN menu. “PHY:100MBPS IP:LINK LOST “ “L3:DOWN SWITCH=(switch type)”If recovery procedures to re-establish a lost link are not successful after a predetermined interval, this display is shown. The phone will then attempt to re-register with the iMerge CFG. Wait or initiate a restart via the ADMIN menu. “REGISTERING WITH iMERGE “ “NO RESPONSE FROM iMERGE “ The above is shown for two to three minutes.Procedures initiated by the phone to register or re-establish a link to iMerge CFG have failed. Continue to wait or: 1) verify that the phone, default gateway, and iMerge IP addresses are correct; 2) ping the default gateway. If it responds, go to Step 3. If there is no response, verify the integrity between the phone and the default gateway; 3) ping the iMerge CFG. If there is no response to the ping, verify that pinging is enabled at the iMerge CFG. If it is enabled, investigate the integrity between the local gateway and the iMerge CFG. If pings are disabled at the iMerge CFG, set up a network sniffer application to trace messages coming to and from the phone for a period of at least two minutes. The trace should show H.225 REGISTRATION REQUESTS going to the iMerge CFG and H.225 REGISTRATION CONFIRMED messages returning. If the former is not shown, restart the phone via the ADMIN menu. If the latter is not shown, investigate the integrity between the local gateway and the iMerge CFG. “REGISTERING WITH iMERGE “ “D-CHAN SETUP FAILED “This display may be shown temporarily whenever the phone is registering with the iMerge CFG. If the display persists, restart the phone. “PING UNSUCCESSFUL “ “ PING” - or - “PING FAILED “ “PRESS ANY KEY “If all attempts to ping valid IP addresses fail, check Layer 2 802.1Q (VLAN) programming at the phone, using the QoS menu. If “LAYER 2 802.1Q=ON”, verify that the network supports this packet prioritization standard. If it does not, set LAYER 2 802.1Q to “OFF”. Ping valid IP addresses using either the INSTL/IP or the ADMIN/DIAG menus. “FILE NOT FOUND ON TFTP “ “TCS7200B.TXT “This display is typically shown after a manual or automatic attempt to download new software and the TFTP server resides on a different subnet. Verify that all router/gateways are set for the “fast mode”. Router/gateways set to this mode will immediately respond to ARPs from the phone, allowing it to find the TFTP server within the time restraints of the download process.

Tone Commander 7210/7220 Network Administration Guide 13-102865 Rev. KPage 25 of 32 Call Control Troubleshooting After the phone is fully initialized (idle display showing), the following call control problems may be encountered. Problem ObservedRemedial Action Going off-hook or pressing the Spkr key does not automatically select a CA/DN and draw dial tone. Selecting a CA/DN or hotkey dialing while on-hook does, however.This is the behavior of a phone that is connected to a National ISDN network, with Call Preference set to ‘NONE’. If this behavior is not desired, change the Call Preference value to either RING or IDLE, using the USER→PREF menu. When on-hook, selecting any CA/DN does not return dial tone. The user must go off- hook or press the Spkr key first.This is the behavior of a phone that is connected to a Lucent Custom ISDN network that is not optioned for ‘One Touch’ in network translations. If this behavior is not desired, request enabling of this attribute in network translations. When selecting a Feature Activator key while on-hook, nothing happens.Some features require an active call to function. If the phone is connected to a National ISDN network, select the FA(CALL) option using the INSTL→KEYS→FA menu. If the phone is connected to a Lucent Custom ISDN network, request enabling of the ‘One Touch’ attribute in network translations. In both cases, a call will be originated using the speakerphone. When attempting to transfer a call, the LED for the Conf key illuminates rather than for the Tran key.This is normal behavior of a phone that is connected to either a DMS100 or EWSD switch that is NI-1 compliant. If either switch is NI- 2 compliant, this condition will not occur. When originating calls either by going off- hook or pressing the Spkr key, not all CA/DNs are accessible.Verify that the affected CA/DNs are optioned for ‘ORIGINATING DN=YES’ and not optioned for ‘RESERVED=INCOMING ONLY’, using the INSTL→KEYS→CA/DN menu. When inspecting the DN List, there are no entries.The DN List is filled automatically with the last ISDN parameter download (PDL). If the host switch does not support PDL, DNs must be entered manually using the INSTL→KEYS→CA/DN menu. All CA/DNs indicate the arrival of inbound calls via LEDs; however, the phone does not ring for some of them.Verify that the affected CA/DNs are not set for NEVER or an extended WAIT interval, using the USER→RING→CONTROL MENU. Note! When connected to a Lucent Custom ISDN network, individual CAs can be optioned in network translations not to ring. All CA/DNs indicate the arrival of inbound calls via LEDs; however, the phone never rings.Verify that “RINGER OFF” is not showing in the display. If it is, use the Vol 5 key to set the ringer level to a value higher than OFF. Going off-hook or on-hook with the handset does nothing. When a CA/DN or the Spkr key is pressed, a CA/DN is selected with the appropriate display, but dial tone cannot be heard via the speakerphone.This is normal operation while in the HEADSET mode. If this behavior is not desired, change the Voice Mode to HANDSET, using the USER→VOICE menu.

Page 26 of 3213-102865 Rev. K Te l n e t A telnet client can connect to the phone for troubleshooting purposes. Use this option to view or clear the error log when you are not physically present at the phone location. The error log can also be accessed from the phone’s Administration Options menu. Other options available through telnet should be used only under the direction of Tone Commander support personnel. 1. Telnet must be enabled at the phone before establishing a connection (Setup → INSTL → UPDATE → TELNET → ENABLE). 2. Start the telnet application (Windows includes a telnet client; click Run in the Start menu, then enter telnet). Set the terminal type to vt100. 3. Connect to the phone’s IP address. This address must be accessible from your PC location. 4. Enable logging to a file. This will allow you to print or save information that is displayed on your screen. A “->” prompt will appear when you connect to the phone. 5. Enter menu to view a list of options. -> menu Exit 1. TCS 2. AGCS 3. DUMP flash logs 4. CLR flash logs > 6. Enter 3 to view the phone’s error log, or 4 to clear the log in the phone. Options 1 and 2 can adversely affect the operation of the 7210/7220. Use these options only when directed to do so by Tone Commander. 7. When finished, disconnect the telnet client. DO NOT enter exit or quit. These commands will stop the telnet option in the phone until the next phone restart.
