Re: SPA112 goes catatonic, crashes, no dialtone - Page 7

sgtpanties · ‎10-26-2012

Hi, I am a home user and ex-programmer. I'm using the Cisco SPA112 with the latest firmware 1.2.1 (004). Every two or three days the ATA crashes. Here are the symptoms:

a) no dial tone

b) line 1 LED is ON (as normal)

c) ATA is PINGable

d) IVR is unresponsive

e) web setup URL does not respond, can not get to the setup page

f) The reset button does not respond.

My only recourse now is the check if I have a dialtone every morning and, if not, pull and reinsert the power plug. The cold boot of course results in the local log being lost. Here is the log right after boot up.

Here are some things I have tried on my own, to no effect:

a) Tried running with Provisioning/Firmware Upgrade/Upgrade set to false.

b) Reloaded the firmware with IE. Before, I did it with FireFox.

c) Did a factory reset and re-entered the settings suggested for my ATA from Callcentric.

How should I proceed?

Klayton Collier · ‎01-03-2013

I suspected that it was a network issue since I could easily reboot the unit from the webui and still have registration failures afterwards. Power cycling did seem to help though. Seems to be something that persists with a reboot, but not a full power cycle.

My router is running custom firmware and can be tempermental at times. It's been running fine lately though so I'll be more mindful of the SPA122's behavior.

syncrotechnology · ‎01-03-2013

Yes - this is true - running reboot from the GUI or using Mike's rebooter does not do a cold restart - I assume it restarts the production tasks but not the OS. This would not be my choice if I had designed this device - I'm not sure what downside there is to a full restart.... I did mention this to Cisco a few weeks ago. --Dale

Aaron Mount · ‎01-03-2013

My SPA122 running v1.3.1 (003) is still going strong since I installed the firmware on Dec 17 at 12:47PM. That's nearly 17 days up, which looks promising so far.

My two SPA122s running v1.1.0 and v1.2.1 last froze on Dec 26 at 6:05PM; I rebooted them then.

Dale – thanks for your notes about SNMP. I checked out my three devices, and although I don't have SNMP enabled, I also don't expressly disable it via provisioning. Since it's nothing that we use in our environments, I may just add that config parameter for good measure.

syncrotechnology · ‎01-03-2013

I think I may have mis-stated my experience with the reboot process. As I recall it was the reboot that followed a SIP NOTIFY REBOOT from the PBX that does not do a full cold start (but I think it should). It has been a few weeks since I tried this but as I think more about it, the GUI reboot is a full reboot (and then so is Mike's rebooter utility). I don't want to take the unit down to test this but that's my current recollection. Sorry if I pointed anybody in the wrong direction on that topic! --Dale

1.3.1. (003) - 17 days and counting....

mifreymond · ‎01-03-2013

Hello,

I am running 1.3.1 (003). My current uptime is 10.53 days.

It has not had much use for 7 of those days (away on vacation).

The SPA is behind a router, connected to a aDSL circuit.

Today, my IP address changed.

When the IP changed, the SPA lost it's registration, and failed to recover it. Since I was at work, I was limited in what I could do.

In order to make it re-register, I clicked the submit button. It reregistered and is now working fine. It did not reboot the SPA as the uptime did not reset.

My syslogs are here:

Any help is appreciated.

Mine has been up for 19.5 days on FW 1.3.1(003) with Full DEBUG logging and SNMP queries every 5 minutes, CDP disabled. I have not had to deal with an IP change recently so I'm not sure how well the new FW handles that.

Motofreak · ‎01-08-2013

Yes I have tested and experienced the same up time results in both SPA112 &122s. but another issue has reared its ugly head in all of our SPA112's but so far not in our SPA122's test boxes.

But this provisioning rules just doesn't work for us in our SPA112 boxes so far in this beta testing firmware.

terryip83 · ‎01-08-2013

I think you have to nest it inside the and the tags, otherwise it behaves a little funny. i.e.

supersecretpassword

There's probably many other settings you have in your file, but that's the general gist of it. Goto http://ata-ip/admin/config.xml to figure out the correct location of each setting

Motofreak · ‎01-08-2013

Tthat was the issue, once placed the rule within the correct boundaries and added another coffee to my day, that solved the issue.

Thanks Terry

Aaron Mount · ‎01-08-2013

So far, my v1.3.1 SPA122 has 531 hours (22+ days) of uptime, which is far better than the 215-hour (8-9 day) average I see from my v1.1.0 and v1.2.1 devices.

I have the same question for the Cisco guys as Terry – do we have an idea of when the official release might be? I have about ten users who are rather upset about the continued issues, and I'm almost tempted to roll out the v1.3.1 (003) beta to those persistent few, with the express understanding that it's a beta release. Should I hang tight for just a bit longer, or push it to their devices?

I know how much work and testing goes into a release; I'm not suggesting that Cisco isn't doing their due diligance, I'm just also trying to look out for my users. Thanks to Cisco's engineers and developers, and to the Community, for all the work and feedback.

laharper · ‎01-08-2013

Hello Everyone,

We have now finalized our testing and we are now proceeding to post v1.3.1(003) as the official firmware release for the SPA112 and SPA122 ATA.

The expected date of the firmware to be posted on our Cisco web site is Friday January 11, 2013.

I would like to express my appreciation to all of the SPA ATA users that provided information that helped us troubleshoot and create this latest firmware release.

Sincerely,

Lance Harper

Product Manager

terryip83 · ‎01-09-2013

Lance,

It's been a long time coming, but that's great news. Look forward to seeing the release notes as well

Thanks

daleschultz · ‎01-11-2013

Hi:

Has there been any problems reported with fax and modem connections with this new version of FW?

I have a security system that reports to a central station just fine using FW 1.2.1 but it does not work at all with any 1.3.x versions I been given to test.

Does someone know what might have changed, maybe some setting default that I can correct?

Thanks,

Dale

Sinisa Bandin · ‎01-10-2013

Hello Patrick and others,

just to add my 2 euro cents to the talk: I have installed 1.3.1(003) on all of my 7 SPA's on Jan 4 and have nod had problems since.

In any case, I have disabled SNMP as someone suggested, but will try to enable it on one of the SPA's, just to see if that would make any difference...

Best regards,

Siniša

xhuntersh · ‎02-09-2013

its been a month, any new news on 1.3.2?
