keep careful track so you know what you have eliminated.
Step 6. Fix the problem.
A Final Thought…
Constantly apply sanity checks. More than three decades ago, the Firesign Theater put out an
album called “Everything You Know is Wrong”. Use that as your guiding philosophy in trouble-
shooting a Telos Two set-up. For example, just because you checked the Telco line last night and
it was fine does not mean that it’s OK now.
At 3:00 AM when the problems seem intractable and you are ready to give up engineering,
remember that the system has worked and will work. Never panic–you are smarter than it is.

This screen shows the status of the ISDN connection. You can determine if the line is connected

tion about calls is displayed here. One of the following status words will be shown for each
active ISDN channel:
Deactivated

Telco to put a line to sleep. Deactivated will be displayed when this occurs
