FRC-754 List 4 Channel Unit Troubleshooting Procedures

Indication

Problem

Action

FAULT LED ON The FRC-754 processor has 

detected a fault.

Remove and reinsert the Channel Unit. If the FAULT LED does not extinguish, 
replace the Channel Unit.

Troubleshooting based on customer-originated trouble reports

No Dial Tone, 
Can’t Dial

faulty RT or COT Channel 
Unit

facility short/open

CO switch problem

Tip/Ring reversed at CO

1

Lift the subscriber pair at the network interface. If dial tone is present and you 
can place a call, refer the problem to the customer per local practice.

2

If you cannot hear a dial tone or cannot place a call at the network interface 
(with the subscriber pair lifted), check for a dial tone at the RT. If a dial tone is 
present, check the pair between the RT and the network interface. If no dial tone 
is present, replace the RT Channel Unit.

3

If the problem still exists, reinsert the original RT Channel Unit and replace the 
COT Channel Unit. Test for operation.

4

If the problem still exists, refer the problem to the CO switch.

Ring

high-resistance subscriber 
line short

faulty RT or CO Channel 
Unit

loop length too long

1

Lift the subscriber pair at the network interface. If ringing is present, refer the 
problem to the customer per local practice.

2

If ringing is not present, check for ringing at the RT. If ringing is present, check 
the pair between the RT and the network interface. If no ringing is present, 
replace the RT Channel Unit. If ringing is still not present, check a circuit on 
another Channel Unit. If ringing is still not present, replace the RT Line Unit.

3

If ringing is still not present at the RT, reinsert the original Channel Unit and 
Line Unit. Test for ringing at the COT.

4

Test for ringing into the COT from the CO switch. If no ringing is present, refer 
the trouble to the CO switch. If ringing is present, replace the COT Channel Unit. 
Test again for ringing at the network interface. If ringing is still not present, 
contact PairGain technical assistance per 

“Product Support” on page 11

Verify the resistance of the copper loop between the RT Enclosure and the 
network interface is less than 530 

.

1

Test for ring trip at the network interface. If the ringing is tripped, refer the 
trouble to the customer per local practice.

2

If the ringing is not tripped, test for tripping at the RT. If ring trip does occur, 
check the loop for excessive length. If ring trip does not occur, replace the RT 
Channel Unit. If ring trip still does not occur, contact PairGain technical 
assistance pe

subscriber problem

faulty RT or COT Channel 
Unit

1

Lift the subscriber line at the network interface and check the signal level. If 
correct, refer trouble to the customer per local practice.

2

If the level is too low, check the level at the RT. If the level is correct at the RT, 
check the pair between the RT and the network interface. If the level is too low 
at the RT, replace the RT Channel Unit.

3

If the level is still too low, reinsert the original RT Channel Unit.

4

Check the level at the COT coming from the CO switch. If it is correct, replace 
the COT Channel Unit. If it is not correct, refer the problem to the CO regarding 
the switch.

5

If the level is still not correct, reinsert the original COT Channel Unit. Contact
