Hi Jennifier
Make sure you are connecting both phone with 2-wire connectors instead of 4
fire. If you use 4 wire connector then Port 0 on the VIC will assume you
have a 2-line phone, and shutdown port 1.
Port 0 on a VIC-2FXS is designed to accommodate a US style 2-line phone,
instead of the usual European style 1-line phone.
This means that in addition to pins 3 and 4 being used, pins 2 and 5 are
also monitored. With some phone handsets it is possible that pins 2 and 5
are wired up to allow last number re-call or call-forwarding. If this is
the case, Port 0 on the VIC will assume you have a 2-line phone, and
shutdown port 1.
To check this, use only two wires in the cable from the VIC to the Phone
and verify that Port 1 becomes active again.
Pin 1 No Connection
Pin 2 line-2 tip
Pin 3 line-1 ring
Pin 4 line-1 tip
Pin 5 line-2 ring
Pin 6 Non Connection
I hope it will help you to narrow down your problem.
Thanks
