Rapid Clicking 1

[DaveThePhoneDoctor]

Partner ACS: Ok, so I understand the slow loud clicking when I monitor a station is the MW indicator. Got that part.

I am now getting complaints of a rapid faint clicking on line port 12 last 400E module in a 5 slot. It is not the line, I changed the 400E module out and the rapid clicking is still there. Any idea what could be the problem?

on all phones ?

have you tried plugging directly into the system bypassing station cable ?

 

[DaveThePhoneDoctor]

On all sets when dialing 812 to access line 12. I have a SL test phone that I use to plug direct into Partner ports at this location and I get the same thing when I access line 12.

The line is clear at the block with my test set and the clips removed from Partner. I had the Proc repaired about 1 year ago with MetroLine.

The 1 year warranty is up next month. If it is the Proc. I want to send it back for repair again.

have you ried swapping lines 12 and 11 ?

 

[DaveThePhoneDoctor]

I believe I did but I will double check. I am going back tonight to install RA software so I will see if it follows the line or stays with the port.

Switched lines 11 and 12. Still heard the clicking when I dialed 812. There is no clicking sound on the line at the blcok when I remove the clips.

you say it was repaired by metroline have you talked to them ?

tek service guy there is prety good

seems like the processor is the only thing left.

 

[DaveThePhoneDoctor]

YEs, I was afraid of that. Just startin gto put in these systems so I do not have a lot of spares yet. Got to get one to send this back before the warranty expires.

I will call MetroLine today. Thanks.

P.S. Going to put a fan on the top of the carrier to vent the heat I hear everyone talk about with these older carrier designs.

Perhaps I will upgrade to the new carrier design. What do you think?

is it in a climate controlled loction ?

new carrier and fan may help , never tried it

im here in sw fl and have them in both climate controlled and non controlled , none in new carrier and I dont see any diffrence in the failure rate between climate contrilled vs non

on the whole partner is more problem/failure prone than other equipment we work with
