Chapter 8 Troubleshooting

Contacting TAC

If you answered no to any of the preceding questions, you may have a loop impedance greater than 400 ohm. In this case, perform the following procedure.

Procedure

Step 1 Increase the wire gauge to reduce the impedance until the Cisco ATA can detect on/off hook and DTMF signal.

Step 2 If the Cisco ATA cannot ring the phone, find a phone that can ring at a lower ringing voltage. Also, try to use only one phone instead of multiple phones in parallel.
