Troubleshooting:

  1. Device Not Registering with the System:

    • Issue: The device does not appear as registered or is not connecting to the VoIP service.

    • Possible Causes:

      • Incorrect MAC address or serial number input.

      • Network issues preventing the device from registering.

      • Outdated firmware on the device.

    • Solution:

      • Verify the MAC address and serial number on the device match what’s listed in the system.

      • Check the network connection and ensure the device is connected to a stable network (preferably wired).

      • Update the device's firmware to the latest version provided by the manufacturer.

  2. Call Quality Issues (Echo, Dropped Calls, Poor Audio):

    • Issue: Callers or users experience poor audio quality or dropped calls.

    • Possible Causes:

      • Insufficient bandwidth or network congestion.

      • Faulty or misconfigured hardware (e.g., headsets, handsets, etc.).

    • Solution:

      • Run a bandwidth test to ensure your network can handle the VoIP traffic. VoIP typically requires 100 kbps per call.

      • Switch to a wired connection if using Wi-Fi and ensure that your network's Quality of Service (QoS) settings prioritize VoIP traffic.

  3. Device Not Ringing for Incoming Calls:

    • Issue: A device is not ringing when calls are directed to the associated extension.

    • Possible Causes:

      • The device may not be properly assigned to the extension.

      • The device’s ringer volume may be muted or set too low.

    • Solution:

      • Reassign the device to the correct extension and verify that it’s registered.

      • Check the device settings to ensure the ringer is enabled and set to an appropriate volume level.
