I'm trying beleive me buy I type a load of stuff and it wont let me post. Grr. I'll try again....

The phones are connected as a number stored on one handset registers on the others. 

However, the red light on the phones are blinking away.  "LINE BUSY" apparently, yet when I reconnect my bt phone that works fine.

What am I doing wrong?!?

Thanks

Dan

Dan,

Are you getting "Line Busy" on all Handsets ?

Keith,

Indeed, on all of them (4 x bc6000's and a bc2 too )

😕

Well, that means one of the following is most likely to be causing the problem:-

• Either pin 2 or 5 of the phone plug from the base is open circuit. Check the phone plug connections at both ends of the phone cable and make sure the RJ11 plug at the other end is firmly plugged into the base.
• The base was not previously used with the handsets and the software revision is not compatible

Hi Keith.

Now I'm really confused.

There is no plug into the base (pstn). It's just a wire which dissapears in to the unit.

And there are only 4, not 5 wires on the plug at the other end of the pstn wire....

I googled RJ11 and saw it looked like my "Z Blocker DSL filter"

So I tried this instead of the basic splitter which came with all the handsets, and hey presto, success.....I can now make and receive calls.

However, I have the beotalk 1200 plugged in to the the larger of the 2 sockets but that doesn't seem to answer a call as it should. 

Thanks so much for the help so far Keith, I'm getting there slowly!

Dan,

I was coming to the ADSL filter, so well done for working that out..
