Use this procedure and an extension that is part of the Pager line group and that has a mailbox configured for paging to test pager operation.
From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, and then (O) Additional Options.
Select (L) Lights Test to start the Lights Test and then enter the number of the test extension that has a mailbox configured for a pager. Note: You can also select a range of mailbox numbers separated by a hyphen, but be aware that the Lights Test may queue up a long list of message waiting requests and could take a long time to process.
At the Light off/on/existing value (0/1/2): prompt, enter 0 to turn the light off (to clear any existing indicator on the test extension).
At the Message waiting type prompt, enter 5 for paging. When prompted for mailbox number, enter the number of the test mailbox you used in step 3.
At the Light off/on/existing value (0/1/2): prompt, enter 1 to turn the light on. Check the indicator on the test extension.
Do one of the following:
If the light test is successful, you can either press Enter to stop the Lights Test menu, or you can test another extension.
If the light is not successful, check the Event Log file to determine if the correct digits are being dialed. Review Event Recorder data reported at the server maintenance console to determine if any errors were encountered during the page. (For more information about Event Recorder, see the Troubleshooting section of the NuPoint UM Technician's Handbook.)
