Monitoring the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone Remotely


Each Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone has a web page from which you can view a variety of information about the phone, including:

Devices information

Network configuration

Network statistics

Call statistics

Wireless information

This chapter describes the information that you can obtain from the phone's web page. You can use this information to remotely monitor the operation of a phone and to assist with troubleshooting.

You can also obtain much of this information directly from a phone. For more information, see Chapter 8 "Viewing Status, Statistics, and Firmware Information on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920."

For more information about troubleshooting the Cisco Unified IP Phone, Chapter 10 "Troubleshooting the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920."

Accessing the Web Page for a Phone

To access the web page for a Cisco Unified IP Phone, perform the following steps:

Procedure


Step 1 Obtain the IP address of the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone using one of these methods:

Search for the phone in Cisco Unified CallManager by choosing Device > Phone. Phones registered with Cisco Unified CallManager display the IP address on the Find and List Phones web page and at the top of the Phone Configuration web page.

On the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone, press Menu > Network Config > Current Config and then scroll to the IP Address option.

Step 2 Open a web browser and enter the following URL, where IP_address is the IP address of the Cisco Unified IP Phone:

http://<IP_address>


The web page for a Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone includes these topics:

Device Information—Displays device settings and related information for the phone. For more information, see the "Device Information" section.

Network Configuration—Displays network configuration information and information about other phone settings. For more information, see the "Network Configuration" section.

Network Statistics—Provides information about network traffic.For more information, see the "Network Statistics" section.

Host names or IP addresses, in prioritized order, of the Cisco Unified CallManager servers with which the phone can register. An item can also show the IP address of an SRST router that is capable of providing limited Cisco Unified CallManager functionality, if such a router is available.

For an available server, an item will show the Cisco Unified CallManager server IP address and one of the following states:

Active—Cisco Unified CallManager server from which the phone is currently receiving call-processing services.

Standby—Cisco Unified CallManager server to which the phone switches if the current server becomes unavailable.

Blank—No current connection to this Cisco Unified CallManager server.

An item may also include the Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) designation, which identifies an SRST router capable of providing Cisco Unified CallManager functionality with a limited feature set. This router assumes control of call processing if all other Cisco Unified CallManager servers become unreachable. The SRST Cisco Unified CallManager always appears last in the list of servers, even if it is active.

An item will include a shield icon if the phone has an authenticated connection to the Cisco Unified CallManager server. It will display a padlock icon if the phone has an authenticated connection to the Cisco Unified CallManager server.

Table 9-4 Call Statistics Area Items 

Item
Description

MOS

Score that is an objective estimate of the mean opinion score (MOS) for listening quality that rates from 5 (excellent) to 1 (bad). This score is based on audible concealment events due to frame loss in the preceding 8-second interval of the voice stream. For more information, see the "Monitoring the Voice Quality of Calls" section.

Note The MOS score can vary based on the type of codec that the Cisco Unified IP Phone uses.

Average MOS

Average MOS score observed for the entire voice stream.

Minimum MOS

Lowest MOS score observed from start of the voice stream.

Maximum MOS

Baseline or highest MOS score observed from start of the voice stream.

These codecs provide the following maximum MOS score under normal conditions with no frame loss:

G.711 gives 4.5

G.729 A /AB gives 3.7

Average Conceal

Total number of concealment frames divided by total number of speech frames received from start of the voice stream.

Current Conceal

Ratio of concealment frames to speech frames in preceding 3-second interval of active speech. If using voice activity detection (VAD), a longer interval might be required to accumulate 3 seconds of active speech.

Maximum Conceal

Highest interval concealment ratio from start of the voice stream.

Call Reference ID

Unique call identifier.

Packet Sent

Number of RTP packets sent for the call.

Packet Received

Number of RTP packets received for the call.
