So as it appears another issue with call forwards : Scenario : 7960 phone not correctly forwarding calls even though the call forward all was set correctly. Looking into the Forward no answer timers and the service parameters there wasn't anything unusual from the basic scenario. So I took a look at Cisco's general problems that come up with a 7960 and found the link below: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_tech_note09186a00809b3b06.shtml If we take a look at the solution its asking us to do the following : In order to resolve this problem, complete these steps to reset the  MaxForwardsToDn  counter: Go off hook on the phonethat has the high counter and register it to CCM: Enter  **##*30  from the dialpad in order to enable the phone to accept the code.

The ASDM upgrade is from version 631 to 713. *** Before you start make sure you download the newest ASDM version that is compatible with your ASA version. show version  1. Login to ASDM 2. Go to Tools > File Management  3. Transfer the file from the local PC to the Disk0 in the ASA 4. Go to CLI to remove / verify  the OLD asdm image  sh run asdm asdm image disk0:/asdm-631.bin no asdm image disk0:/asdm-631.bin 5. Make the new image the ASDM image asdm image disk0:/asdm-713.bin 6. Verify changes

So I'm working on a T1 for a PRI circuit. Low and behold the t1 doesn't want to come up. A couple of the tests that I did were: 1. Loop-back test 2. T1 Card / Configuration reset 3. Telephone vendor switch their Meta Switch Throughout testing we were not able to get the T1 to stay up. It would come up and then go down. Come up and then go down.

Error: Contact Administrator The above error may come up when using the "Directory" button on your Cisco Phone. This can be resolved a couple ways.  One is to try configuring the Corporate Directory Service from the previous DNS identifier: Change to :   http://x.x.x.x:8080/ccmcip/xmldirectory.jsp   X.X.X.X = IP Address of CUCM Publisher Server  Make sure you "SAVE" the IP Phone Services Configuration Another method is to make a service with the same "http" field above and name it Corp Directory and subscribe it to the enterprise.
