Delivering
high quality phone service to our customers is very important to us at IdeaTek.
Generally,
delivering dial tone thru our fiber optic network to the Customer Premise Equipment (Allied Telesis CPE) - which is the
fiber equipment that IdeaTek has installed at your location - is our (IdeaTek’s) responsibility. Internal building wiring, and the actual phones at your location all normally belong to you (the customer)
and are your responsibility to maintain.
If you are
experiencing a lack of dial tone, here are a few things you may try to solve
the problem:
Discover Where The Problem Begins If your other IdeaTek service (the internet - if subscribed to) is working, the problem may
be with your internal building's wiring or actual telephone. If all your services are not working, see here.
Here are some steps to determine if you have
a defective phone or building wiring:
- Start by
changing the batteries in your wireless hand-held devices. If no change then-
- Make sure the
volume is turned up all the way on your phone. If no change then-
- Disconnect all
of the phones and wireless bases from the phone wall jacks.
- Plug the
phones back into the phone lines one at a time, testing the phones along the
way to see if there is one trouble phone in the network. If no change then-
- Make sure all
of the phones and wireless bases have a sufficient power source and that power
strips are in the ON position. If no change then-
- Connect one wired phone directly into the Allied Telesis CPE where the building's telephone originates (normally the port TEL1). If you still have no dial tone, contact Customer Service at 800-890-0839 or 620-543-5555 or help@ideatek.com.
