Customer has a Partner II R3.1 with one 206 R3.0 and Partner Mail VS. After installing used system for customer and reconfiguring, everything seemed great on test.

Left customer premisis and got a call a couple of hours later that extensions were just ringing away... started with ext 13 (MLS-12). They unplugged it... an hour or so later, ext 12 started doing the same thing (MLS-12).

I showed up and figured it had to be the 206 card.. swapped to a different one. 3 hours later, same thing.

The ringing is not like an extension ring cadence... ring, break, ring, break. etc.. it is ringggggggggg non-stop til the phone is unplugged...

I did change out the Partner Plus CPU card for a Partner II R3.1 card... same thing...

Any one ever come across this?

Sounds like bad phones to me.

I agree,...........try switching out the phone. And yes I have seen this on the older MLS sets.

Thanks,

The older Mls sets do all sorts of strange things

when they go bad ,swap the set as suggested.

Its strange but they give you just enough time to

get back to your office before going crazy again.

You have at least one phone, maybe more, with a bad keypad membrane. It is sending spurious signal to the system, which is then sending the messed up signals on to the other phones.
The problem is common and is easily repaired.
You are going to have to unplug one at a time to figure out which phone is doing it.

when I first started working partner the mls problems would trip me up .

customer would unplug phone say it was bad , I would show up on site plug it in it would work fine I would show customer it worked fine .

a few hours later I would be going back.

its a bad membrane. Ive never seen it be not the phone that was ringing causing the issue .
