      Check the connection from the handset to the router or switch to ensure it's receiving a signal. Swap out Cat 5 cables and check ports, as well as connections on all wires. Also, plug the handset into a different port that you know definitely works.

    What to do if my Cisco 88 Series IP Phone handset shows an on-screen extension but has an amber light?

      First, ensure all router port settings have been implemented, paying special attention to port 5060 and ensuring SIP ALG is disabled. Next, eliminate LAN variables by plugging the handset directly into the router. If your router doesn't provide power over Ethernet, ensure the only thing between the router and the handset is the Power Over Ethernet switch, and that all wires and units function correctly. Also, verify the handset is still assigned to a user on the Horizon Portal. Finally, try plugging the handset into a different port that you know works.

      First, ensure all router port settings have been implemented, especially on port 5060, and make sure that SIP ALG is disabled. Check that you've assigned a local IP address by looking it up on the router's ARP cache. Eliminate LAN variables by plugging the handset directly into the router. If your router doesn't provide power over Ethernet, make sure the only thing between the router and the handset is the Power Over Ethernet switch and that all the wires and units are working correctly.
