Cause Action
The WebUI configuration is 
incorrect.
 Verify that your telephone is connected to FXS 1 
or FXS 2. If not, plug it in, or change the analog 
telephone configuration in the WebUI. Verify that 
your phone is connected to the correct FXS port 
and that the phone has power.
1. Log on to the WebUI as administrator and click 
ATA Settings, then select the desired ATA.

assignment. If not, try connecting the analog 
telephone to the other FXS port or disable the 
other assignment. Voice is the default setting 
when no other assignments are enabled.

Analog phone is working 
with Synapse, but does not 
have Deskset capabilities.
 Consider the analog phone limitations:
 To make outgoing calls on an analog phone 
connected to the FXS port on the ATA, the 
outside phone number must be preceded by 
9 or whatever digit, if any, that must be dialed 
first for an outside call (same as on a 
Deskset).
 The analog phone connected to the FXS port on 
the ATA can pick up incoming calls and make 
outgoing calls. Idle, Ringing, Dial, caller ID, and 
Active states are all supported, but advanced 
features such as Call Waiting, Call Forward, Hold, 
Transfer, DND, Paging, Park, and Voicemail are 
not supported on analog phones.
