Logging Information for Troubleshooting
The following options can help you gather troubleshooting information:
  • Using a System Log Server, page 10-18
  • Using the Trace Logs on the Unified IP Phone, page 10-18
Battery life is shorter than specified An unstable RF environment can cause the phone to remain in active mode 
because it is constantly seeking an AP. This reduces the battery life 
considerably. When leaving an area of coverage, shut down the phone.
Higher phone transmit power can affect battery life.
To maximize idle time on the phone and conserve battery life, you need to 
optimize the registration time so the phone can go into power save mode more 
often.
Phone call cannot be established The phone does not have a DHCP IP address, is unable to register to Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager, and shows a Configuring IP or 
Registering message.
Verify the following:
1. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager service is running on the 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
2. Both phones are registered to the same Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager.
3. Audio server debug and capture logs are enabled for both phones. If 
needed, enable Java debug.
Call established with the iLBC protocol does 
not show that the iLBC codec is being used
Call statistics display does not show iLBC as the receiver/sender codec.
1. Check the following using the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
administration pages:
  –
Both phones are in the iLBC device pool.
  –
The iLBC device pool is configured with the iLBC region.
  –
The iLBC region is configured with the iLBC codec.
2. Capture a sniffer trace between the phone and Cisco Unified 
Communications Manager and verify that SCCP messages,
OpenReceiveChannel, and StationMediaTransmit messages have media 
payload type value equal to 86. If so, the problem is with the phone; 
otherwise the problem is with the Cisco Unified Communications 
Manager configuration. 
3. Enable audio server debug and capture logs from both phones. If needed, 
enable Java debug.
