Intermittent Delay when Answering (w/ Polycom 601)

Posted by KevinH on Mon, 08/09/2010

'Intermittent' typically screams 'network issue' but I am only experiencing this on a single phone (Polycom 601) in an office of ~30 phones (Polycom 501):
About once per week the receptionist phone is unable to pick up a call. She takes the phone off the hook; no response, phone continues to ring; she presses the 'Answer' softkey, no response the phone continues to ring; after about 6-10 seconds the phone picks up.
A similar issue has occurred where a call cannot be transferred. The receptionist hits transfer, dials the extension and when the transferee picks up they cannot hear the receptionist. Canceling the transfer and trying a second time typically solves the problem.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Thank you in advance for any feedback.
