[b]CICs 2nd Slot Insists on Being DID[b/]. 2

[rainnman]

Reinstalling a customers inhereted (abandoned) Cics and while expanding it with a DS card it seems the second slot was only responding as a DID card. Swapping, rotating empty slots, restarting (3 times with 5 minute delays between power recycles) and reprogamming attempts had no effect. No option was offered to be able to change the line type. Anybody hate when this happens, and were you able to change her mind?

U already had a DS card in the first slot .. and now you're just trying to add a second and it only recognizes it as DID ???

Default the programming and start over.

Digitalmind: Yes, even without anything in the slots it sees a DID card. Arr: Defaulted 3 times with no effect. PCMIA card reads;
NNTTV040 DLMR3R 1999/0701
NT7B64CN 0002 Rel 2
NA CICS RESTRICTED 4.0
s/w V 5.04 2001/01

Just called the customer to have him read me the Maintenance Display of the version and he told me it says "Access Denied" after resetting the system (that's new).

Restricted software is 4x8 (4 trunks, 8 stations), second card slot will be unavailable. The system may be by default displaying D.I.D card. "Access Denied" may be as a result of attempting to enter programming from a 8 button set (?) To program on the KSU a 7310 or 7324 is required.

Rainman,

You'll need to swap out the software. Restricted software only allows the system to be used as a 4x8, so the second trunk slot is basically disabled.
