IBLc Call Display troubleshooting
Your Call Display on your phone could be clear or blank because of an:
- equipment issue
- inside wiring issue
- inactive Call Display
- unresponsive eMTA (phone terminal)
Try these 4 troubleshooting techniques to resolve the issue(s):
- Check that your IBLc phone is compatible with call display. Refer to your telephone manual to confirm.
- Check if the phone power adapter and electrical outlet are both plugged into the phone outlet and there is no other cord or objects blocking the connection.
- Verify that your eMTA is connecting correctly by using the RJ11 phone jack to test the connection by following these steps:
- Bring a working phone to the eMTA. If it’s a cordless phone, make sure to bring the handset, main base with the AC power cord and phone cord with you.
- Remove the phone cord on the back of the eMTA from the telephone’s ½ port and set the cord aside.
- Connect the phone cord from your phone to the back of the eMTA. If this is a cordless phone, make sure you connect it to AC power.
- Reset the eMTA following these steps:
- Reboot/Reset: Find the tiny round hole labelled “Reset” or “Reboot”
- Poke the hole with a non-sharp, pointy object,such as a pencil or a paper clip, and hold for 5 seconds.
- Check if the lights on eMTA are normal again.
- Check if your telephone(s) are working again.
