If the IP Phone Agent service fails, IP phone agents are removed from the Chat 
service so that they no longer appear as agents in Cisco Supervisor Desktop. 
You will not be aware that the IP Phone Agent service is down until you make a 
request from your phone (press the Update soft key or change agent state, for 
example) or the IP Phone Agent screen is refreshed. At that time you will receive an 
error message reading, “Unable to connect to the IPPA service.” This lets you know 
that you are no longer in communication with the IP Phone Agent service you logged 
into.
When the IP Phone Agent service is stopped, you are not logged out of the CTI 
service. Because of this, agents who are logged in will still receive ACD calls (as long 
as the required CTI and other services are running). 
As a result, when you attempt to log back into the IP Phone Agent service you will see 
the Forced Login screen after entering your login information. This screen tells you 
that the ID used in the login attempt is already logged into another extension. The 
other user detected is actually you, still logged into the CTI service. You should select 
the option to log the other user out and log yourself in. This logs you out of the CTI 
service and then logs you back into the IP Phone Agent service, the Chat service, and 
the CTI service. 
If you are on a call when you try to log back in and get the Forced Login screen, you 
will not be able to log back in until the call is ended. This is because you cannot be 
logged out of the CTI service until you are in the Not Ready state, and being on a call 
means you are in the Talking state. Once the call is ended, the forced logout function 
can transition you from Ready to Not Ready and then log you out. At that point the 
forced login can proceed.
