0	Troubleshooting the System	8

This chapter provides procedures for solving the most common problems that you may encounter with the system. You may be able to resolve a problem quickly and easily by following the appropriate steps in this chapter.

NOTES:

1.See the Data/Video Reference for information about troubleshooting data and video communications.

2.See the PassageWay Telephony Services Network Manager’s Guide for more information about troubleshooting a CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) link.

It is helpful to have the Feature Reference, System Programming, and the system planning forms at hand to perform some procedures. If the procedure involves using system programming or centralized telephone programming to check a system or feature setting, the troubleshooting procedures indicate where in System Programming you can find the programming steps.

You should also have the System Information Sheet at the front of this guide.

!CAUTION:

If you must check something on the control unit, proceed with caution. Avoid standing on a box or chair to reach the unit if it is installed out of easy reach. If you do not have a stable ladder or other proper equipment, do not proceed; wait for the Lucent Technologies technician.
