*willing*? there is willing but also *able* to consider.
We are an underfunded non-profit undergoing a benefactor crisis right now.
Should we upgrade? Sure! Would *I* want to, as facilities guy? Sure! will the Director/Accountant/Board let me?? nope!
If I hadn't fussed with this these...
I will be watching this thread as I am going through the same thing!!
line card shorted, blew fuse, wiped all programming and so now I am learning ACS :-(
Hint, I think, the voicemail button on handsets is only a programmed autodial button to dial the access voicemail sequence...
Thank you everyone for your help!
Fuses from Grainger after finding a thread on it from googling
206 easily IDed as bad card with trick of plugging directly to cord bypassing chassis
System booted and alive
System also confused, first by all programming being wiped.
by line cards all dead except...
update#1
Testing revealed the (obvious) bad module - the 206e with a bad short.
We have purchased new fuse(s) from Grainger today.
I will let you know if system boots up when I get fuse replaced. We will be down one line until we get the card replaced. 200's and 206e's seem pretty cheap. We...
HAHA Love the smileys & emoticons!
All good and logical advice.
I did find the spec and a cross-reference number
4amp, 5mm x 20mm, 150v.time lag, high
breaking capacity fuse
cross ref (internet forum):
GMC-4A
Everything is making sense. I will report back once I know more.
Thanks so...
I did try processor by itself after it passed the power-direct-gren-light test and nada
I have sobered up a bit. Even if it is the fuse, what blew the fuse? bad backplane/connector? bad card? external surge?
Still work to do.
I found the 350 page pdf manual of the partner! -> http://198.152.212.23/css/P8/documents/003678472
And just saw the top backplane has a FUSE! (page 180 / 18-8)
VERY optimistic now... :-) Thank you telecomboy!
OMG THANK YOU FOR THE TIP to plug the power directly into the processor. It seems to be working!
SO... It is the backplane??!!! wow.. didnt see that coming!
thoughts?
PS Telecomboy - I appreciate your help!
re: order of cards, slots and empties.
The fat left slot has been empty* (card half inserted - the 200E) for a year and everything working.
so left to right
empty*, 206, acs processor, mail, empty
and originally the 200E was inserted for years until...
Follow-up Q.
Any thoughts on just replacing the power sub-module I see on eBay or just go ahead and do the whole module?
I like the warning on this one on eBay i posted the pic of..! //bad processor may toast this power module. Look for shorts on processor first!//
So maybe I will pull it, and...
Thanks
(you mean left, yes?) The system red lighted last year and we were not using all 4 lines - and by removing the bad line card (thus half out.. left it there) swapping line cards and moving lines we got it up using the second line card It has been working fine for the last year as you see...
I work at a small non-profit and our phone system died.
It is an old Lucent partner ACS
by died, the symptoms are no lights on any card, no nuthin.
i believe the culprits may be
a) main processor
b) power sub-module inside main processor
should I also suspect the backplane and cabinet
(in...
