Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause & Solutions

Command Center will 

not power on:

• Check wires for voltage. Voltage should be 28vdc.

• If no voltage is detected, confirm you are connected to the DKP interface on the  

  Distribution Module.

• If you have 48vdc, you are incorrectly connected to an SLT interface. 

Phones will not call out: • Check wires for voltage. Voltage should be 48vdc.

• If no voltage is detected, confirm you are connected to the SLT interface on the 

  Distribution Module (some SLT interfaces only use the blue and orange pairs).

• If you have 28vdc, you are incorrectly connected to the DKP interface.

• Make sure you dial any access digit that may be required to dial out of the building.

Phones will make 

internal calls but not 

external calls:

• Check that the phone line is connected to the correct interface on the Distribution  

  Module.

• Verify the phone line by making sure it has 48-52vdc on the line and use an analog     

  phone to verify you are able to call in and out.

Insufficient volume on 

phones:

• To adjust the volume on 2100 Series SmartPhones, turn the VR1 potentiometer.

• To adjust the volume on 2400 Series Phones, use the VOL key.

Light continuously blinks 

on button for phone:

• The phone is not properly hung up. Lift the Command Center handset, select the 

   blinking light, then hang up the handset.

Lights periodically blink 

on Command Center:

• This indicates that the phone is doing a phone line check. This is a normal function of 

  the system and no action is needed.

• To disable this function, refer to the 2100 Series SmartPhone Programming Guide.

Message won’t stop 

playing:

• For a 2400 Series Phone, verify that the answering party is pressing the 

#

 key 4 times 

  AFTER the beep.

• Verify the verbiage in the message includes instructions on how to stop the message.

• Message can only be stopped during the 3 second gap after the first message ends and 

  before the second message begins. 

Calls won’t forward out:

• Verify call forwarding has been set up on the Command Center.

• Verify the Command Center can place a call out by lifting the handset, dialing 

9

, then a  

  phone number. If a message shows up on the Command Center screen saying, “All 

  Trunks Busy”, the system does not have an active phone line connected to it. 

• Verify dialing string for forwarding number. 

Blue light in the top right 

corner of the Command 

Center won’t stop 

blinking:

• A blinking light indicates a missed call.

• To clear missed calls, click the button under “LOGS” on the Command Center 

  screen. When the screen displays “Missed Calls” click the green button on the 

  Command Center and use the arrows to scroll up and down to view the calls. Press the 

  speaker phone button to exit.
