Troubleshooting

Problem: 

Telephone has no dial tone

Solution: 

1. Ensure that all cables (power, Ethernet, telephone) are properly connect-

ed to the MTA. Ensure that MTA’s AC power adapter is plugged in, and 
“PWR” indicator lights are ON (see Front Cover Picture).

2. Pick up telephone handset (phone off-hook), check for corresponding 

“Phone” indicator light to be ON. Also, the “VoIP” indicator light is steady 
green. If not, please disconnect MTA power cable, and then reconnect it 
again (see Front Cover Picture).

3. If previous steps fail, report the failure to service provider for attention.

Problem: 

Cannot establish Internet connection.

Solution:

1. If the PWR and VoIP LEDs are solidly lit, the MTA is working properly. Try 

restarting the computer so that it could reestablish a connection with the 
network.

2. Power cycle the MTA. Wait several minutes for the MTA to reestablish com-

munications with your service provider.

3. If your PC is connected to a hub or gateway, try connecting the PC directly 

into the broadbank network.

4. Your Ethernet cable may be damaged. Try using another cable.

5. If none of these suggestions work, contact your cable service provider for 

further assistance.
