Voice Quality troubleshooting with 7960 phones

[mightyking]

Hello all,

Few years ago, I found a document about how to troublshoot the voice quality using a 7960 phone into the network. I need that document now but I don't seem to be able to find it. If any of you guys know how to setup a 7960 phone to push audio sound into the network or have the document which explains how to do so, please let me know.

Thanks,

MK

Thanks Rob,

It was exactly the document that I was looking for but it doesn't seem that my 7961/41/71 support the tone genaration. It looks like the document is not for the phones that I have in production. Am I mistaken?

Thanks again,

MK

Hi MK,

First off you are most welcome my friend :)

I think you might be hitting this bug;

CSCee44462 Bug Details

Headline Need ability to generate inband test tone on 7941/61/70/71 like 7960

First Found-in Version 8.0(3), 5.0(1)

Status Assigned

Symptoms:

7941/61/70/71 phones cannot generate 1004Hz -15dB test tones the way a 7960 is capable of doing.

Conditions:

Any network where 7941/61/70/71 phones are being used and a test tone is needed to troubleshoot a loss plan or echo problem.

Workaround: Use the test tone on a 7940 or 7960.

Hope this helps! Sorry man.

Rob,

It looks like my 7961/41 don't have the tone generation option. I followed the document but I think it does not apply to the 7961/41. Is there any other doc for 7961/41?

Thanks,

Hi MK,

Sorry my friend but the Bug I referenced above (CSCee44462) still applies. This means that the Tone Generation capability does not work with 7941/7961/7971 IP Phones.

Hope this helps!
