The new keyset didn't work either. Further troubleshooting identified
two of the three IPS416s to be faulty. The keysets worked with the
third IPS416. After testing the keysets with the first two IPS416s, I
had not tested them with the third (and only good) IPS416, assuming
that both of the IPS416s would not be faulty.

P.S. Special thanks to Brian of Lee Phones for his assistance with my
troubleshooting. I highly recommend his organization.
