Cause
If this is an H.320 call, the first line
did not connect. It cannot make a
call if the first line does not
connect.
If this is an H.323 call, the IP
Gateway/Gatekeeper is not
operating or is not configured
correctly.
The ISDN line is not present.
The ISDN number is entered
incorrectly.
The SPID numbers are entered
incorrectly. Note: The AT&T
point-to-point protocol does not
require SPIDs.
The ViewStation FX or VS4000 is
directly connected to a U interface.
The ViewStation is connected to
an NT-1 then directly to a PBX.
The PBX connection is an S/T
interface.
Chapter 8 - Troubleshooting
Solution
Check that all network cables are
properly connected. Restart the
system.
Try to call alternate sites.
Contact your network administrator.
Check the ISDN line connections.
The ViewStation FX or VS4000 has
an S/T interface and requires an
NT-1 to be connected between the
the ViewStation FX or VS4000 and
your ISDN line, unless the
ViewStation FX or VS4000 is
connected to a PBX. See below.
Check the ISDN numbers with your
service provider.
Select the Clear icon on the Auto
Detect SPIDs page, and then select
the Start icon to automatically detect
the new SPIDs. 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 NT-1 when
connecting to a PBX. Connect the
ViewStation FX or VS4000 directly to
the PBX S/T connection. You may
need to use an ISDN terminating
resistor on the ISDN line between
your ViewStation and the PBX.
