Off-hook line and off-hook phone troubleshooting

The off-hook line and off-hook phone LEDs light only if there is a good telephone line connection.

If either the off-hook line or off-hook phone LED fails to light, a faulty telephone line connection is

indicated.

Make sure a proper phone line connection exists to light both off-hook and extension off-hook

LEDs. Test the off-hook line by following these test procedures:

1.

Take the AXB-DTMF+ off-hook by issuing the off-hook Send_Command from the central

controller. If there is a good telephone line connection, then the

OFF HOOK LINE

LED lights.

2.

If the

OFF HOOK LINE

LED fails to light, then there is a bad or faulty telephone line

connection. Check the incoming telephone line and make sure it is working properly. Then,

check the RJ-11 cable and its connection to the AXB-DTMF+.

Test the off-hook phone using the following steps:

1.

Take the receiver off the extension telephone. If there is a good telephone line connection, then

the

EXTENSION OFF HOOK

LED lights.

2.

If the

OFF HOOK PHONE

LED fails to activate, make sure that an extension off-hook

Send_Command has not been issued (you can do a Send_Command extension on-hook to be

sure; see the Operative Send_Commands section on page 7 for details). If this does not

produce results, then there is a faulty telephone line connection. Check the incoming telephone

line and make sure it is working properly. Then, check the RJ-11 cable and its connection to

the AXB-DTMF+. Make sure the RJ-11 cable from the extension telephone is good.

The extension telephone is optional and supplied by the user.
