Core Issue
This symptom is observed on a Cisco 2600 series router that runs Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(13)T and Cisco CallManager version 3.1.4b. The symptom may occur on Cisco routers that have the ability to perform hardware conferencing by using the High Density Voice Network Module (NM-HDV). The symptom does not depend on the Cisco CallManager version. However, the user must configure the Cisco CallManager to use the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) resources on the Cisco router. The user must configure a hardware conference bridge on the Cisco CallManager.
Resolution
To temporarily overcome this problem, increase the default timer for checking idle RTP streams to prevent the party in the conference from becoming disconnected prematurely. Issue the dspfarm rtp timeout global configuration command.
For a permanent solution, upgrade the Cisco IOS version to 12.3(5)T or later.
To download the required Cisco IOS version, refer to Cisco IOS Software.
