Core Issue
The reason for this issue is that ATA Port 2 is not registered in Cisco CallManager, and it is not disabled on the ATA. As a result, when ATA Port 2 attempts to register in Cisco CallManager, Cisco CallManager rejects the registration request.
The error message in the Cisco CallManager event log will be similar to :
Error: DeviceTransientConnection - Transient connection attempt.
Connecting Port: 2000
Device name [Optional].: SEP08a3d31f6d01
Device IP address.: 10.10.40.29
Device type. [Optional]: 7
Reason Code [Optional].: 1
App ID: Cisco CallManager
Cluster ID: HILLCCM01-Cluster
Node ID: 10.10.10.2
Explanation: A connection was established and immediately dropped before completing registration. Incomplete registration may indicate a device is rehoming in the middle of registration. The alarm could also indicate a device misconfiguration, database error, or an illegal/unknown device trying to attempt a connection.
Recommended Action: No action is required if this event was issued as a result of a normal device rehome.
Resolution
In order to resolve this issue, you need to either configure the second port in the Cisco CallManager or disable it on the ATA.
- Disable the second analog Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) port on the ATA - Set the field EPID1 or SID1 to 0 (zero).
- Disable the first analog FXS port on the ATA - Set the corresponding EPID0 or SID0 field to 0.
Use value 0 to disable the port(s) you are not using:
- EPID0 or SID0 for Line 1 or Port 1
- EPID1 or SID1 for Line 2 or Port 2.
Refer to Adding the Cisco ATA to the Cisco CallManager for more information on a range of configuration field settings, including the one mentioned here.
SIDx specifies whether to enable the Phone 1 and/or Phone 2 ports on the Cisco ATA to register with Cisco CallManager. (EPIDx is not for SCCP.) SIDx can be one of these values:
- 0 - Disables the port. The port does not attempt to register with Cisco CallManager.
- . or - Uses the default Skinny ID, which is the Cisco ATA MAC address (MAC) for the Phone 1 port and MAC[1-5]+01 for the Phone 2 port. The port attempts to register with Cisco CallManager. For example, if the MAC address of the Cisco ATA is 00012D01073D, then SID0 is 00012D01073D and SID1 is 012D01073D01.
- Other values are reserved.
Refer to the EPID0orSID0 and EPID1orSID1 section of Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 Analog Telephone Adaptor-Parameters and Defaults for information on ATA ports.
