I have an S8700 (CM1.3) with a mix of 4610s and 4620s (Not sure of the firmware version-I’m not on-site-but it should be a version that was available around the same time as CM1.3). I have 9 different locations including the main location, with each location having a G700 with an S8300 LSP. Each location has the same Cisco networking gear with only minor differences (such as which subnet it’s on, how many lan ports, etc). About 5 days ago we began experiencing a problem at one location. We are sporadically getting no dial-tone on the IP phones and having the phone just “not work” (they look like they do but you can’t make any calls on them).

In each case there is no dial-tone when you pick up the phone, but sometimes even though there is no dial tone you are able to make a call (press the buttons even though there is no sound) and it goes through and each side can hear the other. The other times you can’t use the phone at all. This is a sporadic issue. Sometimes the phones work just fine, other times they don’t. This is affecting every phone at the site, so I know it’s not just the phone.

It has been working fine for well over a year. This has just started happening in the last 5 days. Nothing of note happened 5 days ago that would give any indication that something had changed. Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
When you get a call and there is no sound, check to see which Medpro it is connecting to. We had this issue, where the call is connecting with no sound and it turned out to be a faulty MedPro board.

 
I had the same problem with a medpro. Confirm that you are using the same MEDPRO that is if you have more than one medpro. List trace station xxx' will tell you which medpro you are using. If it's not the medpro, have you tried resetting the phone?

Yes, we have reset the phones. Everything works fine in LSP mode, so I know it is something with the primary site. I will research the MedPro board and get back to the thread.
 
Hi,
Maybe your Headset buttons were activated on ip phones during failure.
If yes, your ip-phones won't search for LSP befoire disable this button. It works as designed.. told me avaya.... This is the same issue if you have remove HEadset.
I had this problem during first year after upgrading on s8700 and no one at Avaya Support in France find this solution...we find eat after a lot of headaches.....
For One Way Call,
regards
