If the mail server can be pinged neither by its domain name nor by its IP address, then
consider item B below.
CAUSE B: The mail server is not running or cannot be contacted from the CallFinder unit.
RESPONSE B: Verify that the mail server is running by sending an email to yourself using your email
software.
If you cannot send an email to yourself using your email software, then the mail server is
not running and you should find out why.
If you can send an email to yourself using the email software, then there is a problem
between your mail server and the CallFinder unit. Call Multi-Tech Tech Support (1-800-
972-2439).
Username/Password Issues. Some mail servers require that the CallFinder use its
Username and Password to log into the mail server. Others do not. This Username and
Password are specified in the Administration: SMTP Configuration screen. If the mail
server requires the CallFinder to have a Username and Password and none is provided,
access will be denied. Conversely, if the mail server does not require a Username and
Password and these have been specified anyway, again access will be denied. If call
logs are not reaching the administrator, it may be because of such Username/Password
issues.
CAUSE C: The client PC running the mail software cannot connect to the mail server.
RESPONSE C: If you, as a client, cannot send yourself an email, then contact your administrator; there
may be a problem with your mail server.
3. What if the CallFinder channel doesn't answer a call on the DID line?
REMEDY. Use this procedure if Channel Configuration cannot be confirmed (that is, if you fail to hear
voice, and if, during a test call to one of the system's DID phone numbers, you fail to see the
State progressing through the stages RECV DIGITS, RING LINE, AUTO DELAY (optional),
and DIAL DIGITS in the Current Status: Channel-1/Channel-2 screen). Both the state and
the sound must be observable).
A. Situate yourself in a place where you can see the CallFinder unit and, simultaneously,
use a phone on a regular POTS line.
B. From that ordinary POTS phone, dial one of the DID phone numbers that is active in the
system.
C. As the call is completed, watch the LEDs on the front panel of the CallFinder unit.
If the DID LED remains off, then there is probably a telephony problem. That is, the DID
phone line has not been activated or configured properly. Call the telephone company.
If the DID LED comes ON, then there is something wrong with the CallFinder software.
Call Multi-Tech Tech Support (1-800-972-2439).
D. Polarity Check. Incorrect DID polarity could also prevent calls from being answered.
Signs of incorrect polarity:
(1) outside party originating call to DID number gets immediate busy
signal after dialing;
(2) line suddenly disconnects just when call should go through.
E. Call Logs. If calls have failed, you can check the CallFinder’s call logs to see the actual
DID number that the CallFinder received. Sometimes corrupted DID numbers are
presented to the CallFinder. In any event, the call logs can help to track down the error
involved.
