Can't get the new 4th channel on MSDL PRI Gateway card to indicate anything

I have (2) quad MSDL PRI Gateway NTDW70AAE5 cards with (2) dual D channel daughter boards each.
Each PRI Gateway has (3) working PRIs however, I cannot seem to get the 4th channel on both these cards to light up on the 4th channel led. There is no led indication at all for the 4th PRI whether disabled, etc. I haven't tried to enable the D channel on the new PRI as the other end is not quite set up but something doesn't seem right that there's not even a led to indicate a 4th channel exists on both cards.

I pulled up the PRI Gateway NTP and even browsed into the PRI Gateway GUI.
The strange thing about the System Settings and Basic Settings is that they both only show configuration for Span #1, all other Spans are not defined yet there are (3) PRIs working on both of these PRI Gateways.

Any ideas what else needs to happen to enable this 4th channel on the MSDL card(s) or why the GUI only shows config for Span #1 and not the other working PRIs?

Will a self test and enabling the D channel all of a sudden light up the 4th channel status?
Shouldn't there be at least a red disabled led indication?

Thanks
 
Figured it out, when browsing to the PRI gateway the GUI was not presenting the correct information and would not take any changes. Used compatibility view and was able to correctly view all of the channels configuration AND properly add the 4th channel. Soon as that happened the 4th channel came up. Remember to use the compatibility mode when browsing to old gateways or it will give you partial access to configurations and settings!
Thanks
