Analog Line Use 2

[dschartung]

Is there any way to tell if an analog port is in use or not?

I have looked at the cards and some have a solid light and some have blinking lights. What do these mean?

I know you can go CMD>10 and LENs that have an "F" preceeding them are digital and those that do not are analog.

I have a line in a conference room that is digital. For a one time event they want to have an analog line there for a credit card machine. Is it kosher to change that LEN to an analog port for that event and then back to digital once it is over?

Thanks,
Derek

Blinking means lens not programmed, steady means someone is on line and no light means it is programmed and no one on line. Build an analog station and cross connect using the field wiring coming from that drop,then replace when finished.

You will not be able to change the LEN to an anlog station as the interface card on that LEN would only support digital Dterm sets. You will have to find an analog interface card (8LCD or 4LCD) and assign a station to the LENs that this card resides in and connect to it.

Are the LENs assigned to a 4LCD card sequential?
Is there a command to find which LENs are assigned to a particular 4LCD card? (all our cards are 4LCD)

cheers,

So, I found Command EC1
10>0046:2741- Analog Extension
EC1>2741:00 00 01
Looks like analog LC, nothing connected (no terminal), and idle.

If all your cards are 4LCD how are you using Dterm sets?
Dterms can only utilize DLCD cards and not LCD.
From you explaination above you would connect your single line station to LEN 0046 which is located on LTC1 off the 3rd last pair of the cable (Violet/Green pair).

All our ANALOG cards are 4LCD the digi-lines are DLCD. Sorry, I did not explain. I found my solution by discovering tiny little pencil marks below each card 4lcd and DLCD card. Example: one 4LCD card was marked 44, so I scolled through LENs till I found one marked NONE and set it to a new extension (7543) Bingo. Blinking red light is gone. I will have to remember your way since it seems more logical than process of elimnation.
