We just installed IP 331 phones and a couple IP 650 phones. The are connected to 3com 5500 POE switches. We replaced a 3com VCX200 phone system with a cloud based VoIP system. All phones were POE and never had any problems with them or any other POE devices. With the Polycom phones they reboot at least once a day at random times. Everytime they reboot your call lists and ringer volume resets itself. Has anyone else had this type of problem?

 

Thank you

Hello chetech,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

 

A good starting point is usually to supply the current software version of the phones.

Thank you for the starting point. I don't have much access to the system itself, but will pull what I can from the phone.

How often should these phones goi out to the offsite server? I hooked up wireshark and I am watching a phone and like every 3 minutes I am seeing a screen like the example below in wireshark?

Hello chetech,

 

your expires is set to 145 seconds which is 2 minutes and 15 seconds.

 

Usually this is 3600 seconds / 60 minutes.

 

I would suggest you check this with your VoIP provider and ensure you check your log files for errors.

 

If you require support you will need to work with your Polycom reseller and/or Polycom support directly as outlined in my signature.

 

Best Regards

They said that is correct. I'm waiting to hear back from them on the issue. I am at a loss on our end.

the switch ports are setup as hybrid. do you know if they need to be trunk ports rather than hybrid? Is there any special setup of the switch ports? I still believe it is an issue on the server end or maybe the config files, but have no access to the server end so have to do what I can from my end.

Hello chetech,

I can only tell you what the Polycom factory setting is. The reboot may be completely based on something else.

 

You still have not followed up either what the current phone software you are running and/or if you follow up on the troubleshooting advise given in my original reply.

 

I would assume that your service provider should have some interest in solving your issue and they should be aware how to troubleshoot this or how to contact Polycom support if needed.

 

The community's VoIP FAQ contains this post here:

 

Oct 17, 2011 Question: How can change Logging Levels or use Syslog?

Resolution: Please check => here <=

 

You could use syslog to monitor the phones in order to spot any issues in the logs.


If all fails please contact your Polycom reseller and/or Polycom support directly.

Phones are trying to renew their dhcp lease everyday. Someting is blocking them from being able to do it, so they reboot themselves. I am leaning toward STP on the switches.

HP Recommended

Hello chetech,

 

yet again Wireshark is your friend. Power off a phone , start a trace and power the phone on and you will see the DHCP lease time and stop the trace.

 

Wait until that time nears and then start the trace again and monitor the phone renewing the lease.

 

For anything else please follow my prior advise in regards seeking support.

 

Best Regards
