Troubleshooting guidelines

Operational errors and status messages

Table 4 identifies some of the possible operational problems that might be encountered after
successful 9601, 9608, 9608G, 9611G, 9621G, or 9641G IP deskphone installation. The user
guide for a specific deskphone model also contains troubleshooting for users having problems
with specific deskphone applications. Most of the problems reported by 9601, 9608, 9608G,
9611G, 9621G, or 9641G IP deskphone users are not likely to be problems with the deskphone
itself. Problems are more likely LAN-based, where Quality of Service, server administration, and
other issues can impact end-user perception of deskphone performance.
