Phone Troubleshooting

Checking Your Connection

If you are having some problems with your phone service the first thing you may want to do is check the cabling to make sure it is connected properly.

Connection Check Step 1

One end of the RJ-11 cable should be connected to your phone or fax machine. The other end should be connected to the Phone Adapters PHONE 1 port.

Connection Check Step 3

The other Ethernet cable (included in your Phone Adapter box) should be connected to the yellow EHTERNET port on your Phone Adapter. The other end should connect to the WAN / INTERNET port on your wireless router.

Connection Check Step 4

The power adapter (also included) should be connected to your Phone Adapter’s POWER port. The power adapter then connects to the surge protector.

How to Power Cycle Your Equipment

If all your cables are connected properly and you are still having problems you may need to power cycle your equipment. Follow the instructions below to power cycle your telephone.

WARNING! DO NOT RESET!

On the far left of your Phone Adapter (ATA) is the reset button. We ask that you please DO NOT push this button unless instructed to by a technician. This will erase all information on the Phone Adapter (ATA) making it unusable until it is reprogrammed and we may have to send a technician out to your house for a service call.
