I have found a problem with the UC software with our VVX 410 phones. When you place a call on hold, the call gets hung up after 30 seconds.

 

I know it has to do with the version because I went back and loaded every version and the phone works perfectly with version 5.1.2.1801. But every version after 5.1.3.1675, with the same CFG files, the call that is placed on hold will drop at exactly 30 seconds. 

 

I have even loaded 5.4.0.5841, and the problem is in that version also.

 

Is there a way to find out what happened in version 5.1.3.1675?

Hello Dopeydog,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

  • Is this a LYNC or a SIP issue ?
  • Does this only occur with external or also with internal calls?

I would suggest you raise a case with Polycom support via your Polycom reseller so we can troubleshoot this and fix if necessary or provide you with a configuration parameter in case this was an intended change.

It is a phone software version issue.

 

As I explained, starting at version 5.1.3.1675 it drops all calls that are placed on hold for 30 seconds.

 

But to be even more clear, if I accept the call from my Lync software desktop client - the call does not drop. That should eliminate it being a SIP or a Lync client/server related problem.

 

I had to downgrade my phones 6 versions to get the phones to not hang up a call on hold after 30 seconds.

 

Something changed in version 5.1.3.1675 and has been broken since. I have dug through the config files and cannot figure out what it is. But taking the same config files from vesion 5.1.2.1801 (which does not hang up calls on hold after 30 seconds) to version 5.1.3.1675 (or anything after that) calls on hold will drop after 30 seconds.

Hello dopeydog,

I fully understand this and this is why I asked you to raise a case with Polycom support via your Polycom reseller so we can troubleshoot this and fix if necessary or provide you with a configuration parameter in case this was an intended change.

 

The above is required so we can verify your entitlement to use the VVX Phones in LYNC base profile and in addition may receive external accounts so we can register a test phone to replicate the issue. We also may require LYNC server logs.

 

The sooner you do this the quicker we can begin troubleshooting this for you.

Greetings,

 

I am a new Polycom admin and new to this site.  I am having the same isssue and I have opened a support case with our vendor, but I also want to add to this topic.  We have VVX 500's and 600's.  I too rolled back from 5.4.0.5841 to 5.1.2.1801 and that fixed the call drop issue but then I noticed that the phones didn't ring for incoming calls from outside the network.  Internal calls were fine.  So I had to go back to the current version so we could have the phone's ring.

Hello cbrown,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

Have you got a serial number / MAC Address that you used to log this ticket so I can check the status?

SteffenBaierUK,

 

Great news! My issue is fixed.  We made adjustments to four trunk settings and the issue seems to be cleared up.  It also fixed the issue with transfers failing (but that's a different post).

 

I opened a case with the vendor that helped us with our Lync Server 2013 deployment so I worked with one of their technicians.  I tried to open a support case with Polycom but they said it's only for website issues??  Whatever, my problem has been fixed (fingers crossed).

We're having the exact same issue. We're running VVX 500's running 5.4.0A.10182.

HP Recommended

Has there been any progress made on this issue. We are having the same problem on firmware 5.4.3.1014. This is a huge problem for us as we cannot place any calls on hold!

Hello all,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

As already explained in prior replies you will need to open a service ticket with your Polycom reseller so Polycom support can have a look at this.

 

If the reseller is some Internet discounter and is unable or unwilling to do this please provide me with a MAC address of one of the phones and I look this up.

 

Just in case any follow up questions are raised:
