Avaya 016 ETR upgrade sleepy ports 1

I was un-aware of a patch, but there may be!.. I was thinking 016 analog, of which I've had a dozen within the serial number range. The last 4 to 8 ports just crap out!
Was this the case with ETR's as well?

Mr.Telecom your right that was my error it is the 016TR, that was my error. I guesss it applies to firmware 22 or 27, im not completely sure. Is there a patch for the 016 TR? Im running 4.0 on my lab switch is the upgrade sent through the GA rel.4 or is it a special dedicated patch that i would need to run?

The only upgrade patch for the Magix version of the 016 T/R that I am aware of is APV:22
Whether or not this application upgrade resolves "sleepy" port issues or not - I do not know. This APV is included on Merlin Legend R7 Upgrade card and Magix R3 and R4 Upgrade card.

I've run the module updates on them, and they have NOT come back to Life. I'm using one of those bad ones in my switch! Last four dont work at all, the rest of them are normal.
You'll get BAD result and effect if you let Ring-current flow backwards into the 016 card as well. Scene: A Fax machine at reception has an analog DID line on it. Someone puts a T-Adapter at the fax and plugs in a CO line to the same fax in the T-Adapter. CO Rings, smokes da' board. Once ring current hits it, the port has dial tone but you can't break it. It usually affects multiple ports/entire board. The Flash update didn't help in this case either.

The only info I had was about Noise, Static and Low Volume.
This was corrected by the 617F34 Module.
You might search Avaya's web site for a PCN (Product Change Notice). That's something like a recall to them.

Mrtelecom1, using cke5, Magix 4.0 v7.0
We did return a couple 016 boards when they issued a qcc on that condition. Avaya did replace one's that fell within a serial number range.(if I still have that data I'll post it)

See for details.
Any analog device connected to the top 4 or bottom 4 ports of an 016TRR 617F34 board may be affected, all of which were manufactured between September, 2003 and February, 2005.
Take a look at the module's serial number. The first two digits represent the year that the board was manufactured. This is followed by two characters, which specifies the place (city) of manufacture. The next two digits indicate the month the board was made.
Soooo. That's a really long way of saying that an 016TRR of the 617F34 flavor, whose serial number's first and third pair of digits falls within the range 03xx09 to 05xx02 is trouble! If so, it must be replaced as there is no firmware patch for the problem.

Was the cause of the problem ever determined? If the problem was some sort of defective IC chip, bad boards could be repaired, tested and put back out on the market.
With the Magix now discontinued, having almost 18 months worth of boards ending up defective could put a real strain on the after-market supply. As it stands, isn't the 016 T/R one of the harder Magix boards to come by![[ponder]](/data/assets/smilies/ponder.gif "[ponder] [ponder]")
If it ain't broke, I haven't fixed it yet.

Just use a Legend 016 T/R - there's plenty of those around - and they are MUCH more reliable anyway.
