properly connected. Restart the
system.
Contact your network administrator.
Check the ISDN line connections.
The ViewStation has an S/T interface
and requires an NT1 to be connected
between the ViewStation and your
ISDN line, unless the ViewStation is
connected to a PBX. See below.
Check the ISDN numbers with your
service provider.
Reset the system by going to the
Reset menu under the Diagnostics
menu. Run Automatic SPID
detection again. Make sure your
ISDN numbers are entered correctly.
Install an NT-1 between your ISDN
line and the ViewStation ISDN
connection.
You do not need an NT1 when

connection. You may need to use an
ISDN terminating resistor on the
ISDN line between your ViewStation
and the PBX.

line to the NI 1 protocol standard.
