KNOWN ISSUES
MARQUIS II TERMINALS: ONE WAY TRANSMISSION - UPDATE (OCT 94)
Terminals have to press the MEM key to receive internal dial tone or answer internal calls. Resetting the terminal clears the fault.
It was found that the fault was cleared by remaking all connections and terminations between the CCU and LJU2/3c. The cause of the problem therefore, is thought to be HR wiring, normally unregistered in a DC test but cleared when
re-terminated.
If difficulties are still experienced, logical replacement of LJU, Tele cord, strips conn. etc. will be necessary.
MARQUIS I NCC SOFTWARE CHIPS AVAILABILITY (OCT 94)
Marquis I sites, with the London Code Change software, must have the National Code Change software fitted. Sites fitted with the London Code
Change software were labelled as such and they contain the BR7030 V3.0 EPROM.
MARQUIS 2 TERMINALS - ONE WAY TRANSMISSION (July 1994)
The fault symptom can also present itself as ‘Marquis II terminals operating as Marquis I terminals on internal calls’.
The scenario is as follows:-
Extension A calls extension B and receives ring tone. B lifts handset to answer but cannot be heard by A, while A can speak normally to B. If at this point, B keys ‘MEM’ , the conversation can proceed as normal.
Once this fault is established, the called extension, (B in this case), will need to key
MEM on all internal calls received subsequently. BLF/DSS Terminals can experience difficulties using the DSS keys such as ‘no tone’ and ‘no signals’.
External calls are not affected on any terminal.
The fault can be cleared by resetting the terminal. Changing the terminal and/or CCU will not provide a permanent clear. The changing of equipment cannot be approved of at this time as it is recognised that this will not provide any long term advantage.
