Cisco 7941 & 7961 Hook-switch Issue
Cisco 7941 and 7961 desk phones have a common issue of the handset hook-switch failing. What this means, is that when you answer a call via your handset the call continues to ring and is not answered. You will have to tap your hook-switch lever or put the call on speakerphone to answer the call. Both workarounds are not ideal.
