Testing Voice Line; Testing Fire Panel - DataRemote Pots In a Box CDS-9090 User Manual

.
NOTE: ANY VARIATIONS FROM THE ABOVE, SEE THE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE attached
separately in your Work Order and/or call your respective Installation Support Line.

TESTING VOICE LINE.

1. Phone FXS 1-8 indicators should be either solid green (On-Hook) or flashing green
(Off-Hook/Busy). Call Installation Support if LED indicators for the FXS ports are not lit. Once the
lights above have been verified, use a butt-set (or an analog test phone if your model butt-set doesn't
have an RJ-11 modular connection) to place a test call from the phone 1 jack to your cell phone (if line
one is a voice line.)
2. IMPORTANT: You MUST complete the call by answering it; otherwise the device won't
register the test call event in the server logs, which is used for install validation.
3. NOTE: If there are any issues other than a completed call and calling number
identification/verification such as call didn't go through or any other condition, STOP and call
Installation Support to report the issue and work to resolve before proceeding. Record the
calling phone numeber in the checklist for this site as phone 1's (primary) new ATA number.
Repeat steps 2 - 5 accordingly by performing the steps again using the phone 2-8 line ports of
the DataRemote CDS-9090 device (If the lines are voice lines.)

TESTING FIRE PANEL.

1. Locate the Fire Alarm Panel. Have the Manager escort you to the room/area where the active
Fire Panel is located, if not already visible refer to your Installer Representative Manual for a sample
picture of typical Fire Alarm Panels.
-A good indication that you've identified the correct Fire Alarm Panel is when you find the
two(2) existing POTS lines that are associated with the Fire Alarm Panel. The two (2) existing POTS
lines can appear in varied termination options and locations, such as:
a. Two(2) surface-mount jacks located just outside of the Fire Panel, generally
RJ-31 style
b. In a 4x4 electrical box just off to the side of the fire panel.
c. Jacks may be inside the Fire Alarm Panel on Motherboard and/or a dialer
module.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TOUCH these existing surface mount jacks or their cabling at this time!
