ISDN 2e
Troubleshooting tips
Q. I don’t think anything is wrong. I just want more
information.
A. Call the ISDN Helpdesk on Freefone 0800 18 15 14.
Q. The green SERVICE LED has gone out.
A. There may be a fault on the line or exchange. Call BT
Fault Reporting on Freefone 0800 800 154.
Q. I’m having trouble getting ISDN 2e to do what
I want.
A. Check that the green SERVICE LED is lit. If it is,
check that your hardware (phone, fax, phone system
or router) is compatible with ISDN 2e and is properly
configured. This may involve contacting your hardware
supplier. Remember that you can only make two
simultaneous calls. So, if others are using the service,
you won’t be able to. If you still have a problem, phone
the ISDN Helpdesk on Freefone 0800 18 15 14.
Q. My computer doesn’t seem to be working with
ISDN 2e.
A. Check that the green SERVICE LED is on. Ensure
that your computer is correctly fitted with an ISDN
PC Card or a Terminal Adapter. If you’re using
extension wiring, plug your digital device directly into
either of the sockets on the ISDN 2e box. If it works,
you may have a problem with your extension wiring
and will need to check the S-Bus configuration
switches on your ISDN 2e box and/or refer to your kit
supplier. If you can’t get on the Internet or access a
remote computer, check the paragraph below.
Q. Can I use ISDN 2e to connect to a customer or
supplier who only has an analogue modem?
A. It depends on the ISDN interface you have in your
computer. Some modern ISDN Cards can emulate an
analogue modem, which effectively limits its speed to
that of the modem being dialled. If your equipment
supports this feature, you should have no difficulty in
connecting to someone with an analogue modem.
Q. Can I use a modem with the digital lines?
A. You cannot plug a modem directly into the ISDN 2e
box, however you can plug a modem into an analogue
port on a Terminal Adapter – you will then be able to
send data this way but will not see any of the speed
enhancement benefits of ISDN.
Q. What happens to the digital connection if I am
using both channels and someone picks up the
phone?
A. Unlike analogue connections, the digital connection
will not be disrupted, but the person picking up the
phone will not hear a dial tone and will not be able to
dial out.
Q. Do call charges differ from normal analogue
lines?
A. Voice call charges are exactly the same as before.
Data calls in the UK are also the same, but
international 64k data calls are charged at different
rates.
Q. What do I do if ISDN 2e isn’t working?
A. Follow the Troubleshooting tips.
