I would be surprised if you have just one issue here.   I think looking at
logs will give you the best clues as to what might be going on.

 

Have you considered limiting Codecs?  Tried sending the calls to an auto
attendant to see what results you get with that?

One more additional note. I forgot about this one setting. The initial call
here is routed to a phantom extension that then uses scheduling and call
forwarding to route to different handsets or hunt groups depending on the
time of day. These problems did occur before the somewhat complicated
scheduling was put in place. 10 is an extension, and 90 is a hunt group. 10
was a member of 90. I just removed that, because I remember some issues kind
of similar where problems occurred when an extension was dialed back to back
using automated methods like this.

This is a fun one. I need some pointers on where to start. 
I have about 15 sites that are all roughly identical in their setup, so I
know the general design is ok. 
This particular site was Sipx 4.2.1 and Polycom 450/550 firmware 3.2.4 and
bootrom 4.3 up until last week. 
They are now sipx 4.4 (latest) Polycom 450/550 firmware 3.2.5 and bootrom
3.2.5 
Cisco 2960 POE 24 port switch 
Sipxbridge, Verizon VoIP services, no IP address NATing 
Verizon MPLS T1 
Everything is QOSd properly. There are no errors on the router or the switch
interfaces. 
Unfortunately, the problems remain even after the Sipx and Polycom upgrade. 
There are 16 Polycom 450s and 1 550. The 550 is the receptionist, and she
answers the bulk of the calls. They were on an auto attendant, but decided
they wanted a live person answering the calls. That is when my problems
started. 
The path of most calls is answer, park with blind transfer, page with paging
group, user retrieves call from park on one of the 450s. 
>From everything we can tell, they are doing this properly. They are
experiencing 2 major problems. I am not sure if one is causing the other or
if they are related. 

Problem 1, straight from the Polycom 550 user "About 7-8 times a day when
the main line rings, I go to answer it and no one is there, but on the LED
screen the first button says "answer". You cannot pick up the call at all
and the caller hangs up and calls back." 

Problem 2, also from the 550 user "about 50% of the time the overhead can't
be heard, then when you try to use the overhead a second time it rings busy"

She is referring to the the paging group. Nobody hears anything. The paging
call then sits in the active calls list within sipx indefinitely. Usually, I
will have to restart the paging service to get everything going again. 

This site seems like a simple setup to me. I have several others that are
identical. I have tried everything I can think of, so I'm ready to start at
square 1 again. Can anyone give me some tips? 

Thanks as always, 
Matthew
