Testing Analog Multiline and

Single-Line Telephones

To test the basic operation of analog multiline and single-line telephones, follow the steps below:

! If you are testing a multiline telephone, press an ICOM or SA button.

! Pick up the handset and wait for dial tone.

! Dial the extension number of another working telephone.

You should hear ringback on your telephone and ringing at the called telephone.

! At the called telephone, have someone pick up the handset; verify that you have good two-way communication.

! At both telephones, hang up.

If you are testing a single-line telephone, this is the end of the procedure.

In Hybrid/PBX mode, make sure that the destination telephone has a personal line or is a DLC operator.
