    Why doesn't the softkey I need appear on my Cisco 7942G?

      Eric ZimmermanJul 31, 2025
      If the softkey you want to use does not appear on your Cisco IP Phone, you may need to press 'more' to reveal additional softkeys. Also, you might need to change the line state by going off-hook or having a connected call. It is also possible that your phone is not configured to support the feature associated with that softkey.

    What causes Barge to fail on my Cisco 7942G, resulting in a fast busy tone?

      Barge attempts can fail and result in a fast busy tone if you cannot barge an encrypted call because the phone you are using is not configured for encryption. When this occurs, your phone plays a fast busy tone.

      If you cannot hear a dial tone or complete a call on your Cisco IP Phone, ensure you log into the Extension Mobility service. Also, you may need to enter a client matter code (CMC) or forced authorization code (FAC) after dialing a number if you have an SCCP phone. Additionally, your phone might have time-of-day restrictions that prevent you from using some features during certain hours.
