Adding a 412TDL to an existing Magix

[TheatreGuy]

We have had this Magix for 8 years and I have never needed to add a board to it. If this question has been answered before I apologize.

We have the following in the system currently:

Processor W/CKE5 Magix Release 2.0
SlotNumber 1: 024 TDL
SlotNumber 2: 024 TDL
SlotNumber 3: 412 LS-TDL
SlotNumber 4: 800 GL-ID
SlotNumber 5: 016 TRR
SlotNumber 6: Merlin Msg 2.5

What should I expect when I plug this new 412 in slot 7 or should I be doing something else?

The module will come up with extensions in the 71xx range if the system was originally defaulted using set-up space. If that is the case, you just need to renumber the extensions to whatever you want them to be.

You make it sound so easy.

Of course, power down the RIGHT MOST Carrier First, then the Left one, and do the same on power up.

Needless to say, you do not want to plug it in HOT!

Thank you, merlinman, a very good reminder.

It sounds like I should be able to do this during normal business hours. Am I correct in assuming the system would only be down for a few minutes?

The system will be down about 30 to 45 seconds - the voicemail will need several minutes to fully reboot.

I have installed the board and everything came back up the way it should.

When I look at the board in system inventory on WINSPM the digital ports did not get assigned to the 72xx range but were assigned 188-199. The analog ports followed a similar pattern giving me 813-816.

Now I need to find the pairs to use out of my pre-wired connector and punch them down. So far, things are good.

That's because your extensions were numbered in the 100 to 199 range, rather than the 71xx range.
