Cisco IP Phone 7945-G or 7965-G screen goes blank randomly with SCCP firmware 9.2(3) on CUCM 8.6(2a)

[radu.beldean]

Hello everybody,

I have the following situation:

• A WAN VoIP network, with centralized call processing model (central site and few branches)
  
• Cisco IP Phones 7945-G and 7965-G running SCCP
  
• Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6(2a)
  
• SCCP firmware Release 9.2(3) for the above mentioned hardware models
  

The problem that occurs randomly is that either when the firmware was SCCP firmware Release 9.2(1), or it was upgraded to SCCP firmware Release 9.2(3), approximately 5 Cisco IP Phones, the screen goes blank, the phone being still operational (but difficult to operate in such circumstances), and the problem persists until it is disconnected from PoE, and re-connected.

Please if possible, any solution to this problem is much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hello  again,

In addition to  what I already mentioned, I would like to detail a few aspects, in order to be  more specific with this behavior:

-          From the total number of Cisco IP  phones which is less than 1000, this behavior happened randomly, within 1 month  and 3 weeks

-          Actually, it was a total number of 8  Cisco IP phones whose display went off, 4 being located in Headquarters, and  from the other 4, 3 were in the same Branch, and 1 in another  Branch

-          Also, 7 IP phones are connected in  non-Cisco switches with PoE, and 1 IP Phone was power supplied from AC  adapter

-          initially, all existing IP phones  had firmware Release 9.2(1) for 7945G and 7965G, and the mentioned behavior  happened with 4 IP phones

-          then, for all IP phones, it were  upgraded to firmware Release 9.2(3) for 7945G and 7965G, but problem re-appeared  with other 4 IP phones

The only  solution that solved the issue for each IP phone was to disconnect the power  from the IP phones.

I hope that you  might help me on how to get solving this problem, and I am looking forward for  any useful idea or solution.

Many thanks in  advance.

Regards,

Radu

Hello,

Thank you all for your replies to this thread.

I was still not able to solve the problem.

It's true that since several months the problem didn't appeared again.

I can provide further details, in case it helps.

Thank you in advance for any helpful solution that can solve this issue.

Kind regards,

Hello Radu,

I would suggest you to enable SSH on the IP Phones that have experienced this problem run the following debugs:

debugsh

jvm logging level debug

debug jvm all

In adition, if a sniffer trace can be collected, would be great.

If you have a video or something like that showing up the problem, please provide it.

You should probably make your own post for your problem including CUCM version/firmware version/phone model/switch model/IOS version/console logs from the phone/log from the switch/whether or not you're running Energywise.

Hi

I am facing similar issue with our newly migrated phone system. We are running on the SIP45.9-3-1SR4-1s phone load. CUCM version 10.

Issue is the phone screen goes blank for few seconds and then comes back up. We have noticed that sometime the phone screen goes on blank state for around 25-30 sec and then comes back automatically and during that time there were no dial-tone.

I checked the bug id that's mentioned in this thread but not quite the same symptoms.

Any idea or suggestion?

Thanks.
