| DDTS Number | Description | Solution/Work Around |
|---|---|---|
When a user subscribes to the Cisco Conference Connection IP Phone Service, the user may be asked to enter his password. |
The user should be automatically logged into the list of conferences. This problem can be resolved as follows: 1. In the Cisco CallManager administration pages where Cisco IP Phone service is configured, in the Service Parameter Information page, be sure to enter the names of the parameters exactly as shown here, with the first character capitalized: 2. Users must enter their passwords to log into the Cisco Conference Connection service. |
|
When the Cisco CallManager service is manually shut down, Cisco CallManager failover occurs and in-conference audio channels are cut off. If the failover occurs for other reasons (for example, the power goes off or a network cable is unplugged), the in-conference audio channel(s) remain active. |
This problem rarely occurs. To avoid it completely, do not manually shut down the Cisco CallManager service. Manually shutting down Cisco CallManager causes the running conferences to be disconnected. |
|
Using a MIB Browser tool, you can see the version of Cisco Conference Connection (in the Serviceability Table sysAppMIB/sysAppInstallPkgEntry/ The Cisco Conference Connection version incorrectly shows 1.1(2) instead of 1.1(3). |
To check which version of Cisco Conference Connection you are running: On the Admin pages of Cisco Conference Connection, click the About button in the menu on the top of the screen. |
|
Cisco Conference Connection does not distinguish between a blank administrator password and a password containing spaces only. |
Do not use spaces in a password. Choose a password containing digits and letters. |
|
After a Cisco Conference Connection server is upgraded to operating system version 2000-1-3, the Cisco Conference Connection administration pages become inaccessible and the virtual directory "Scripts" is removed. |
Recreate the virtual directory as described in the solution to CSCdv18352. |
|
During the installation of Cisco Conference Connection, the Scripts virtual directory may fail to be installed, and therefore the Cisco Conference Connection web components installation is incomplete. |
After the installation, perform the following steps: 1. From the Windows 2000 desktop, select Start > Programs 2. In the left pane, select the Cisco Conference Connection server. 3. In the right pane, double-click Default Web Site. A list of all of the virtual directories appears in the right pane. 4. Check to see if the Scripts virtual directory appears in the list. 5. If the Scripts virtual directory does not appear in the list, in the right pane right-click Default Web Site and select New > Virtual Directory. The Virtual Directory Wizard starts. 7. In the Alias field, enter Scripts, and the click Next. 8. Click Browse, and browse to the C:\Inetpub\Scripts folder. 9. Click OK, and then click Next to continue. 10. Clear the Read and Run scripts (such as ASP) checkbooks, and then click Next. |
|
| 12. In the left pane, right-click Scripts and click Properties.
13. In the Execute Permissions field, select Scripts and Executables from the drop-down list. 14. Click OK, and then restart the Cisco Conference Connection server. |

When viewing the participant information for a past conference, the participant column may contain an IP address, not the phone number of the participant. This usually occurs when the Caller ID is unavailable. The IP address is the address of the Gateway (or sometimes the Cisco CallManager) that directed to the call to Cisco Conference Connection |
You can accept that no Caller ID appears and that the gateway IP address appears. Or, you can make sure that the Caller ID is reported by the gateway in the gateway configuration. Ask callers to reveal their Caller ID. |
|
If a time period during which scheduled conferences consume all or nearly all of the available conference ports, and a user tries to create a conference, the error "Conference Scheduling Failed" with the reason "no resource available" may appear. Conference resources are reserved in five-minute intervals: For example, a conference scheduled for 100 ports from 10:23 a.m. to 10:43 a.m. reserves 100 ports from 10:20 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. |
Schedule conferences so that they begin or end at five-minute intervals (for example, 5:00, 5:05, 5:10, and so on). |
|
If the start date of the first occurrence of a repeating conference is after the end date, at least one meeting will be scheduled for that series, provided no other conflicts occur. For example: On August 20, 2001 (Monday) a recurring conference is scheduled to run every Wednesday, but the start and end date for the recurring conference is today (Aug 20, 2001). As a result, one conference will be scheduled for the series. This conference will run on Aug 22, 2001 (Wednesday), even though this is after the end date (Aug 20, 2001). |
When scheduling repeating conferences, make sure there is at least one valid conference that can run within the given start and end dates. |
|
One or more participants in one or more conferences may be dropped from a conference without warning and without having taken any action. There may be one or more causes for this problem:
|
Here are some recommendations for avoiding this problem: |
|
Echo is heard while using Cisco Conference Connection. This problem is generally caused by improper gateway configuration and thus is most prominent when external callers are involved in the conference. The most important parameter to adjust is the echo-cancel command, which is found on IOS gateways. |
One way to help eliminate various participants as the source(s) of echo is to ask them to mute their phones one by one (if possible). Or, if it is not possible to mute, then ask them to momentarily drop out of the conference. |
|
When several participants join the conference at the same time, or very close together, the entry tone may not be heard completely for each participant who joined the conference. |
Have the conference participants announce themselves when joining a conference. |
|
Microsoft Database Engine (MSDE) sometimes fails to install during the Cisco Conference Connection installation. The MSDE installation running in single user mode causes this failure. During the installation, if some other process gets a connection to the MSDE server, the installation fails because it cannot get a connection to the MSDE server (a user is already connected). These other process can be any of the following: |
||
During a conference, participants experience jittery voices, which may sound like the speaker is underwater, robotic, or clipped entirely. This problem is most often observed when participants join a conference through gateways and in a highly routed/switched network (multiple hops). |
The problem can be resolved as follows: 1. Attach the Cisco Conference Connection directly to a switch. 2. Configure the switch to lock in 100 Mbps at Full Duplex. 3. Configure the PC NIC card to the same (100 Mbps/FDX). a. From the Windows 2000 desktop, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Dial-up Connections b. Select and right-click Local Area Connection and click Properties. c. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, click Configure to set the Ethernet card properties. d. In the next dialog box, click the Advanced tab and select Link Speed & Duplex. |
|
Cisco Conference Connection web pages are not accessible or the access is too slow. This may occur if the server for Cisco Conference Connection is infected with the Code Red virus. |
Install the Microsoft patch to prevent the Code Red virus. Download this patch from: |
|
Occasionally, after a new installation of Cisco Conference Connection, subsystems fail to start even though the Application Engine is shown as running http://<machine-name>/ For Cisco Conference Connection to function properly, it is necessary for the subsystems to be running. |
Reboot the server for Cisco Conference Connection to cause the subsystem to start. |
|
When the Cisco Conference Connection server rejects the call, a busy tone is played back to the user. This tone playback may not work when the caller has dialed in using a H.323 gateway. This may occur when the conference is full. |
There is no workaround for H.323 gateway callers. However, if you schedule enough ports so the conference is not full, you will not encounter this problem. |
|
When using the VG200 with Cisco Conference Connection, a participant using a G.711 phone can join the conference. However, when using a G.729 phone, the participant reaches the IVR but gets fast busy when attempting to connect to the conference. |
Dial in through a non-VG200 gateway, if one is available. It is recommended that you use the Catalyst 6000 Family Voice T1/E1 and Services Modules (product number WS-X6608) as the transcoding resource for Cisco Conference Connection. If using Cisco Conference Connection with a VG200 gateway, do not use a G.729 phone. |
|
If the repeat options are used when creating a conference, using the drop-down list boxes, it is possible to select invalid days, like February 30. An error appears when trying to schedule a repeating conference that has an invalid start or end day. |
Do not select invalid dates and/or correct them after receiving such an error. |
Table 3 corrects an error in the Cisco Conference Connection Administration Guide and in the Cisco Conference Connection Quick Start Guide.
This section contains the following information:
The Cisco Customer Response Application (Cisco CRA) database validates the Conference ID that the participant enters. To activate this validation feature, you must properly configure the Cisco CRA database. Refer to the "Configuring the Cisco Customer Response Application (Cisco CRA) Database Subsystem" section for installation and upgrade instructions.
Read the following information to understand how Conference ID validation works with Cisco Conference Connection:
After playing this message, the call is disconnected.
To configure the Operator Extension feature, see "Configuring the Cisco Customer Response Application (Cisco CRA) Operator Extension" section.
After each subsequent failed attempt, the caller is provided with a more detailed help message. The caller can also choose to get more help by pressing the * key.
On the final (third) attempt, confirmation of entered digits is not provided and no more choices are given to the caller.
When a gateway is used to enter the conference, configure it to provide error or busy tones to the callers. The conference propagates the notifications that it receives.
Once started, conferences cannot be expanded to allow more participants. If a conference is full and additional participants are needed, the conference must be stopped and recreated. All existing participants must dial back in.

You must configure the Cisco CRA database if you are installing Cisco Conference Connection 1.1(3) for the first time or if you are upgrading from Cisco Conference Connection 1.1(1).
If you are upgrading from Cisco Conference Connection 1.1(1), start with the "Upgrading Cisco Conference Connection" section.
If this is a new installation of Cisco Conference Connection, perform the following procedure:
http:// servername/Appadmin
where servername is the DNS name or IP address of your Cisco Conference Connection server.
If you are using the computer that is running the Cisco Conference Connection server, you can connect to the web pages by choosing:
Start > Programs > Cisco CRA Administrator > Application Administrator.
Step 2 Click Database.
Step 3 Click Add New Data Source.
Step 4 Enter the following information:
To determine the number of CTI ports in Cisco CallManager that you need for Cisco Conference Connection, follow these guidelines:
Step 5 Click Update.
When configuring the conference telephony application, you can either enable or disable the transfer to the operator extension feature.
To enable operator extension On the last configuration screen of the conference telephony application, enter a valid operator extension in the operatorExtn field.
To disable operator extension On the last configuration screen of the conference telephony application, you must enter the word string null in the operatorExtn field.
|
Note When you disable operator extension, if you enter any other string or an invalid extension instead of entering null, an error message ("This extension is invalid.") plays. |
For Cisco CallManager failover support on Cisco Conference Connection, you must configure JTAPI in the Cisco Customer Response Application (Cisco CRA).
|
Note The primary Cisco CallManager must be fully operational and running when the JTAPI engine starts up. |
Perform the following steps to configure JTAPI for failover support:
http:// servername/Appadmin
where servername is the DNS name or IP address of your Cisco Conference Connection server.
If you are using the computer that is running the Cisco Conference Connection server, you can connect to the web pages by choosing:
Start > Programs > Cisco CRA Administrator > Application Administrator.
At the prompts, enter the network username and password.
Step 2 Click JTAPI.
Step 3 In the JTAPI providers field, enter the DNS name or IP address of the primary Cisco CallManager and then enter the secondary Cisco CallManager. Make sure a space separates the two DNS names or IP addresses.
For example, enter CM3 CM4 where CM3 is the primary Cisco CallManager server name.
Step 4 Provide the JTAPI user and password and click Update.
Use this procedure to disable the Music On Hold feature for Cisco Conference Connection and to allow the feature for calls between IP phones. This procedure prevents music on hold from being played into a conference for callers within the same Cisco CallManager cluster. This does not prevent music being played from other sources, such as remote callers on other systems.
This configuration is recommended so that the music on hold feature does not disrupt conferences when a participant places the conference on hold.
This configuration adds all of the music on hold resources into a Media Resource Group (other than the default). This ensures that music on hold is then available only to entities in the resource group list, where that Media Resource Group is included.
This procedure uses a new Media Resource Group and List for example only. Creation of new groups/lists is not required but may be used. The underlying principle is to have music on hold resources outside of the default group (each device is assigned a default, when it is added). See the Cisco CallManager documentation to configure a phone or other devices into a Media Resource Group List.
|
Note The Cisco Conference Connection H.323 gateway device must NOT be within a group or list that contains music on hold resources. Failure to do this may result in music on hold being played in conference and confusing messages being played. |
Perform the following steps to disable the Music on Hold feature with Cisco Conference Connection:
Step 2 Click Add a new media resource group and provide a name for the new group on the next page, for example, MOHGroup.
Step 3 In the selection box, select all the Music On Hold resources and put them in the new group, such as, MOHGroup.
Step 4 Go to Services > Media Resource Group List.
Step 5 Add a new Resource Group List (for example, MOHList) and then add the new group created in step 2 to this list.
All IP phones that require the Music On Hold feature must be part of this list. Now all entities that belong to this group list will be able to receive music on hold and users of Cisco Conference Connection will not hear music.
Use this information along with the "Licensing Setup" and the "Licensing Update" sections in the Cisco Conference Connection Administration Guide.
Initial Cisco Conference Connection installation provides six conference ports. To enable additional ports, you must perform one or several steps depending on the number of license upgrades.
License keys are required as described here:
For example, if 100 ports are purchased, you will perform the following steps:
1. Use the first license key and upgrade 6 to 20 ports.
2. Use the second license key and upgrade 20 to 100 ports.
After entering all license keys, restart Cisco Conference Connection for the changes to take effect.
To upgrade Cisco Conference Connection, perform the following procedures:
