System Problems

Call on Hold Hangs Up,

but Line Does Not Disconnect

Possible Cause 1: Hold Disconnect Time setting is too long.

What to do: Change Hold Disconnect Time (#203) from Long to Short.

If abandoned calls on hold are disconnected, the problem is solved.

If abandoned calls on hold still do not disconnect, or the Hold Disconnect Time was already Short, go to Possible Cause 2.

Possible Cause 2: Local phone company does not send hold release signal.

What to do: Call your local phone company and find out whether they send a hold release signal. If the local phone company does not send a hold release signal, or if they do but the problem still occurs, call the AT&T Helpline.*

Calls on Hold Are Disconnected

Possible Cause: Hold Disconnect Time setting is too short.

What to do: Change Hold Disconnect Time (#203) from Short to Long.

If calls on hold no longer disconnect, the problem is solved.

If calls on hold still get disconnected, or the Hold Disconnect Time was already set to Long, call the AT&T Helpline.*

All Phones Dead: No Dial Tone or Lights

Possible Cause 1: Control unit is not receiving power.

What to do: Make sure the control unit’s power cord is plugged securely into the wall outlet. Also make sure the main circuit breaker (little plastic pop-up tab shown in Figure 1-1in Chapter 1) is in the “ON” position (pushed in).

If the green LEDs on the modules are lit and the trouble is gone, the problem is corrected.

If the green LEDs on the modules are lit but the trouble remains, call the AT&T Helpline.*

If the green LEDs on the modules are out, go to Possible Cause 2.

If any green LEDs on the modules are flashing, call the AT&T Helpline.*

In the continental U.S., help is available at 1 800 628-2888. Outside the continental U.S., call your local AT&T Authorized Dealer.
