If the code is 2, there is a SPID error (North America only). Check the

 

SPID numbers again in menu 2, and if they are correct, initialize them

 

again from menu 24.4.3.

 

If the code is 3, this indicates a general failure. Verify the provisioning

 

information for your switch by contacting your telephone company.

 

Check your SPID numbers if the ISDN LED is blinking slowly as this

 

indicates that SPID negotiation has failed (North America only). See

 

Table 2-1 LED functions for more information on this LED.

The ISDN loopback test failed.

If the ISDN initialization is successful, then the loopback test should

 

also work. Verify the telephone numbers that have been entered in

 

menu 2. The loopback test dials the number entered in the 2nd

 

Phone # field (except for switch types with only one phone number). If

 

you need to dial a prefix (e.g., ‘9’) to get an outside line, then you

 

have to enter the telephone number as ‘95551212’ or

 

‘914085551212’. If it is an internal line, you may only need to enter the

 

last four or five digits (according to your internal dialing plan), e.g.,

 

51212.
