[Asterisk-Users] Linksys SPA-841 Missing Calls

[Craig]

I experienced a similar situation with the SPA-841, it turned out to be
that the calls I was missing didn't have caller ID (outside calls with
caller ID Blocked), found that the SPA841 phone has an option to ignore
calls without caller ID. Turned this option off and it fixed the
problem.

Sorry, I no longer use the SPA841 and I can't remember the exact menu
setting on the SPA841 that fixed it, so you will have to go through the
manual.

I only have 1 phone so it is hard to tell if the crashing is a
hardware or software problem.  I never noticed the phone having
problems previous to this.  I did resync asterisk to HEAD a month ago.
Thats also about the time the phone started crashing (or at least I
started noticing it).  Come to think of it, I've been running the
current firmware in the phone since July 20th.  The only think that
changed in recently was asterisk.  I wonder if there is something the
newer asterisk is doing that the phone really hates...

Yea, this phone has that problem too.  ;-) Some cables just don't
work.
