Title: BT Versatility Help
Post by Tina Fisher on Jan 9^th, 2018, 11:40am

We have a BT Versatility System, we have one spare extension. I connected this in the hub to a network port but cannot get a dial tone.

I have performed a warm reset of the system and not sure where to go from here

Can anyone help ?

To a network port?

Are you using a normal phone, or a V8 feature phone?

A normal phone needs a MASTER socket, connect from the extension terminals in the PBX to 2 and 5 on the MASTER socket. If this doesn't work, check your terminations. Are you using a decent punch down tool? Decent cable? Are the terminals you are punching into in good condition?

For a V8 feature phone, it can be a secondary or master socket (master preferred to allow standard phone to be used in place of V8). Extension to 2/5, DATA to 1/6. If nothing, again, check as above.
