Just added a Nortel Norstar CICS TCM8 8 Station Expansion Card to a CICS S/W 7.3 system. Was expecting to see first phone put on to show extension 38 but it is 58. The callpilot 100 took first new extension of what I thought would be 37. Was running callpilot on 36 only prior. Callpilot shows it is using two ports now.
6x16 now 6x24 system
Point me to a link or an old thread please, kind of new at this. Thanks.
 
When your system was first initialized (without the expansion cartridge), B1 DNs were numbered 21 to 38 (including the IATA and IRAD) and B2 DNs were numbered 39 to 56 (still including the IATA and IRAD).

When you added the expansion cartridge, numbering continued from there, leaving the current DNs unchanged. As a result, stations 17 through 24 have their B1 DNs in the 57 to 64 range and their B2 DNs in the 65 to 72 range.

If you want to change the numbering, you can use the Change DN utility under System Programming. You can also initialize your system again using Feature **STARTUP, but you will lose all the existing programming.

I'm good, thanks. If the numbering for the new person being extension 58 bothers them then I will change it. When this new person starts work I will just create a mailbox for them in the callpilot of 58 and we should be good to go.
