Phone rings twice, vanishes for a few seconds, then comes back

Hi Everyone,

I am experiencing an issue where a call is delivered to my phone, where it rings twice (displays correct calledID), then the call vanishes for a few seconds, then it comes back but without the callerID the second time. Its almost as if the call vanishes for a few seconds, and during this period you can't answer the phone to listen to the caller. The whole time the caller here normal ring tones.

Very odd issue.

I have a very basic home setup. A single POTS line goes into my uC500 for connection to the PSTN. I have a 7961 and a 7921, with each using a shared line. I have the configuration setup so when someone calls my house, it gets delivered to the UC500, and then it goes to a shared line on each of the Cisco IP phones. The odd ring behavior is obsered on each of the phones.

Thanks in advance for your help.

My hunch is that there is a signal coming in on the line - I have seen this before where battery-reversal is sent from the CO after the second ring. Try disabling battery-reversal on the port that the line is connected to.

voice-port
no battery-reversal
shut
no shut

Thanks!

That config worked like a champ. The phones are ringing normally now!
