FAQ/Phone Port Issues

 

 

My Unit Has No Dial Tone

If your unit is a iPRO (the 4-port unit) with 2 FXS and 2 FXO ports, please click here. Other try the following:

  1. Check to make sure the power is on.

  2. Check if phone is connected to phone ports, instead of line ports (for 2-port units only).

  3. Make sure that the phone port is configured as Phone (FXS), not Line (FXO). To do that, click on the Phone1 (or Phone2) folder in the V-Express under "Configuration Profile". (for 2-port units only)

  4. Make sure your unit has a FXS port and the phone is connected to the FXS port (4-port units only). 

  5. Try to press the handset tab several times.

  6. If the phone port returns no dial tone only when there is a call on the other phone port, please check the Preferred Codec and the Allow Codecs of both phone ports on the both originating and destination units. Make sure the codecs are consistent. For example, make sure all the preferred codec on all phone ports to be G.723-6.3K.

  7. Make Sure the preferred codec you are using is not turned off. You may turn on or turn off a codec by issuing following command:
    set coding <coding profile ID> valid on/off

  8. If all of above still don't work, restore the factory default profile (Warning: You will lose your original configuration) by doing one of the following:

from V-Express:

Open the Factory Default Profile (File--> Open Configuration). Do nothing, just save back the configuration to the V-Server (File-->Save Configuration--> Save to Node)

from the command line:

type the following commands line by line (case sensitive). This is especially important if you just have downloaded a new version of software for the V-Server:

get profile 0

save profile 1

reset

Please re-configure the unit and try the dial tone again. 

 

 

What is the REN (Ringer Equivalence) Value of the V-Server?

I Have an iPRO (4-port unit) 2 FXS and 2 FXO unit. My P2 Port Doesn't Have Dialtone


For the iPRO 2 FXS and 2 FXO units, the Phone Port 2 (FXS port) is labeled as P3 and the Phone Port 3 (FXO port) is labeled as P2. So please use the P1 and P3 ports as FXS port and P2 and P4 ports as FXO port. The LEDs on front panel of the unit will properly display the status of the phone ports. For example, if you connect a phone to the P3 and lift the handset, the "P2" LED on the front panel will turn on. If you connect a phone line to the P2 port and make a call into that phone line, the "P3" LED will turn on.
