Problems With the ISDN Line

The ISDN initialization failed

This problem occurs when you attempt to save the parameters entered
in menu 2, but receive the message, “Save successful, but Failed to

menu 2. If these are correct, you may also need to verify the
provisioning information for your switch by contacting your
telephone company.
