46 5 Troubleshooting 1) Make sure that the router is turned on and all the cables are connected correctly. 2) Check the RSSI, PPP and PWR LED’s are lit and NOT in a blinking state or off. A) Voice Related Problems Symptoms Possible Problems/ Solutions No Dial Tone. Please wait for 1~2 minutes after the router is turned on. If RSSI is blinking, you have no good RF reception. Change the location of the router. There is a prompt/ phone alert/ announcement as soon as I lift the phone off the hook. Make sure your (U)SIM card is inserted correctly and the PIN number has been entered. If the PIN number has been entered incorrectly then you will need to enter the PUK code when prompted. The line is noisy/ distorted when I lift the phone off the hook. Remove any electrical appliance which is too close to the phone or router. The cable or phone set might be faulty. I hear a rapid engaged tone as soon as I lift the phone off the hook. Put the phone on hook and try again. If you are connected to the internet using the 2G (GSM) network, please disconnect this first.
