IP Telephony Configuration Guide
• Registration Disabled--The Registration on the Business Communications Manager is set to
OFF.
Use the following strategies for troubleshooting an IP telephone:
• If an IP telephone does not boot, use VNC to access the Business Communications Manager.
Find this file:
E:\NORTEL NETWORKS\Logs\Nnu\UTPS.log.
If the telephone is properly configured to reach the Business Communications Manager, you
should see this message in the log: "Opening signaling channel for set index X [at A.B.C.D]"
where A.B.C.D is the telephone's IP address.
If this entry is not present, the IP telephone is not connected to the Business Communications
Manager. Double check the telephone configuration parameters. VNC into the Business
Communications Manager, open a DOS window and try pinging the telephone. Check the
configuration settings of any NAT server, DHCP server, firewall and routers between the telephone
and the Business Communications Manager. For information on using Ping, see Appendix C,
“Network Performance Utilities,” on page 109.
• While signaling between the IP telephones and the Business Communications Manager uses
Business Communications Manager port 7000, voice packets are exchanged using the default
RTP ports 28000 through 28255 at the Business Communications Manager, and ports 51000
through 51200 at the IP telephones. If these ports are blocked by the firewall or NAT, you will
experience one-way or no-way speech paths.
• If the LAN traffic in your network environment is heavy, you may experience dropped voice
packets. If this occurs, connect the Business Communications Manager and the telephones to a
local network hub to avoid the network traffic.
• If an IP telephone does not display the text "Connecting to server" within two minutes after
power up, the telephone was unable to establish communications with the Business
Communications Manager. Double check the telephone's IP configuration, and IP
connectivity to the Business Communications Manager (cables, hubs, etc.).
• When an IP telephone is connected for the first time, the contrast level is set to the default
setting of 1. Most users find this value is too low. Therefore, after the telephone is operational,
you can increase the contrast level by pressing Feature *7 at the telephone.
• If the connection between the IP client and the Business Communications Manager is slow
(ISDN, dialup modem), change the preferred CODEC for the telephone from G.711 to G.729.
(See “Settings for IP telephones” on page 35.)
