5. Common Installation Troubleshooting
| Issue | Probable Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Screen is blank | No Power | Verify the power brick is plugged in firmly. Check the outlet. (Note: PoE often fails to power this unit sufficiently). | | "Configuring IP" Loop | Network/DHCP issue | Verify the Ethernet link light is green. Check if the VLAN is correct and DHCP is handing out IPs. | | "Registering" Stuck | TFTP/Call Manager issue | Verify Option 150 is set in DHCP. Verify the MAC address of the phone is added to the Call Manager database. | | Echo / Audio Issues | Room Acoustics | Lower the volume. Ensure the unit is not on a hollow table (vibrates). Move away from HVAC vents. | | Headset Button Not Working | Firmware/Feature Policy | The 7937G is a speakerphone; headset functionality depends strictly on the Call Manager device configuration page. |
