Not all SCCP Phones showing up in CME9.1 GUI

[d.haeni]

I have configured 30 6941 phones on a CME9.1, using CLI. All phones work fine, but only 20 of them are shown in in the CME GUI (Configure -> Phones). All phones have been configured identically, and it seems that just the phones with an ephone tag ("phone sequence number") higher than 60 are not shown.

Could it be related to the fact that "max-ephones" for my platform is at 58?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi David,

I think you are right on the money my friend

This was considered a bug in CME 7.1 but as it was terminated

and not shown as "fixed" maybe this is the common behavior;

CSCtd35866 - CME 7.1 GUI doesn't shows the ephone with ID beyond the "max-ephones"

Description

Symptom:
If customer configure  the Max-ephone 100 under Telephony-system, the CME GUI only shows the  ephone with ID that below 100. The CME GUI does not shows any ephone  with ID that above 100.
Notes, the ephone ID is not relevant with  max-ephones configuration. Customer can assign any ID to ephone. The  "max ephones" command should only limited the max ephone can be  registered to the system.
Conditions:
Environment:
CME: 7.1
GUI: 7.1
Workaround:
Ensure the ephone ID is smaller than the value be configured in "max-ephones".
