Troubleshooting
6-10
What to do:
See ‘‘Standard Telephones’’ on page 1-16 for a list of supported
standard phones with message waiting lights. Also check with your Lucent
Technologies Representative or local Authorized Dealer to find out if there are
others.
If the phone is not supported, you can use it without message waiting
capability.
If the phone is supported, go to Possible Cause 3.
Possible Cause 3:
The standard phone is not connected to the proper module.
What to do:
Make sure the phone is connected to a PARTNER Advanced
Communications System processor module, 308EC, or a R3.0 or later 206
module in a system with a PARTNER ACS processor module. If the problem is not
solved, call the hotline (see page 6-1).
