SpectraLink Corporation Troubleshooting Overview The Link WTS software constantly monitors system components for problems. If a problem is detected, the system will flag the problem with an alarm. Alarms are displayed in two places: Operator's Console The Chk3000 program allows the administrator or technician to display details about each system component.
SpectraLink Corporation System Maintenance This section explains some common maintenance procedures. Replace an Interface Module (Hot Swap) Interface Modules can be removed and replaced without shutting the system down. Interface Modules must be replaced with the same type of card.
8. When the handset is turned on, the extension will be displayed. Test the new handsets by placing a call to each one to verify that the correct telephone rings. Replace a Handset Use this procedure to replace a handset with a new handset.
Enter. DELETE 5. If you do not plan to re-use the port on the Link WTS, remove the cabling for this telephone between the host telephone system and the Link WTS’s demarc block. Add a Base Station Before adding a new Base Station you should have a port location for the new equipment.
SpectraLink Corporation Stations, therefore will never be heard during a Listen Verify diagnostic. Designating a Base Station as Isolated will disable the Listen Verify alarm for that Base Station and avoid generating spurious alarms. (optional) type a short description of where the Base Station was installed Note (a room or floor number, for example).
SpectraLink Corporation Delete a Shelf If you move or reconfigure your system, you may need to completely delete a shelf. 1. On the Operator’s Console, press F4, Administration 2. If you are completely removing the handsets and Base Stations from this system,...
Using the Handsets The Link WTS is an in-building wireless communication system that allows hand- held Wireless Telephones (handsets) to communicate using the existing telephone system. Calls are sent to and received by the handsets via small radio transceivers called Base Stations, located throughout the building or campus. When using and troubleshooting the handsets, consider the following concepts.
8. Make sure the handset’s Interface Module is connected to a working phone line. Use a telephone test set to check the line at the demarc block. 9. Check the cabling between the Interface Modules and the demarc block, and between the demarc block and the telephone system ports.
1. From the Operator’s Console, use the number and check its port location. 2. Trace the wires from the back of the Interface Module to the host telephone system to be sure it is actually connected to that port location.
If all or several handsets are affected, try the following troubleshooting procedures. If you try the following troubleshooting procedures and the Base Station still does not work, return the unit to SpectraLink for service. Multiple Base Stations Not Working If several of the Base Stations are not working there may be a problem with the Interface Module that controls them.
SpectraLink Corporation • If the Base Station is stuck in “download” the LED will flash red and green. In this case, verify the status of the Base Station at the Operator’s Console. Press Portcard State Display Disabled, below. • If status is Download section 5.5 Base Station Will Not Download, below.
Any number greater than 0 indicates a problem. transmission errors. These errors are generally caused by hardware problems. Contact SpectraLink Customer Support for assistance. Base Station LED Flashing Red This indicates that the Base Station is not communicating with the MCU.
SpectraLink Corporation Troubleshooting During Start-Up Phase This section describes the sequence of the LEDs on all system cards when the system is first powered on (Boot ROM and Download of software). Boot ROM LEDs When the system is powered on, the normal sequence is for the green LEDs to 'count' up from 1 to 12 in binary.
SpectraLink Corporation Troubleshooting Card Alarms This section contains information about how to read the alarm LEDs on the system cards. For a complete list and description of alarms, see the Troubleshooting Matrix tables in section 8 LED and Alarm Troubleshooting Tables.
