Hardware Troubleshooting Tips
•
Only change one setting at a time (either a hardware or software setting).
•
Observe carefully and document all observations (for example, feature programming, call
states, time of day, problem symptoms and so forth).
•
If all the functionality supported by a module or card is out of service, it is likely defective. If
possible, swap the module or card with a known working module or card to confirm.
•
Check the Alarm logs in the System Administration tool for hardware alarms.
•
Check the LEDs on the hardware. Refer to "Appendix D: Status LEDs" in the Technician's
Handbook for LED state information.
•
Verify that the IP addresses reserved for the hardware units are not used elsewhere on the
system. See the "Installation Planner" chapter in the Technician's Handbook for a list of the
IP addresses that are reserved for the Analog Main Board (AMB), ASU and ASU IIs.
•
For phone related issues, is the problem occurring
•

•
on a group of phones of a specific type (for example IP Phones only)?
•
on a group of phones within a specific Class of Service only (indicates a potential
programming conflict in COS Options form)?
•
during local-to-local calls only or local-to-external calls only?
•
For phone or trunk related issues, if you don't find the solution in this chapter, you should
