CICS lines 31-34 won't accept "Supervision" Option

Hi all, 1st post here but I've used the site many times, many thanks.

I have a customer with a CICS that added 4 lines & a CI trunk card. They use Line Redirection feature & it requires lines to have "Disconnect Supervision" turned on. In programming new lines 31 thru 34 (lines 4 - 8)I toggle Disconnect Sup. it doesn't take. (Normally there's a pause when you change a line to the feature & you may get a lines reset but when you go back into programming & look at the line it's says Disconnect Supervision), the 4 new lines after you change the feature & go back to check it's back to Normal plus I'm not getting the pause/reset after changing it.

Hope that made sense, is it possible it's a Telco issue? Maybe the system sees that the line doesn't have DS so it doesn't allow the feature to be turned on? The manual says the service must be provided by the telco. These are regular copper lines. Lines 1 - 4 that have been in service work fine but the 4 new ones are what I'm having trouble with. 1st time I've had an issue like this.

Now that I'm a member I'll try to help others when possible. I've been a Nortel tech since the early 80's when they were direct in the States, I've been independent since they quit direct sales in the late 80's. I'm located in middle Tennessee.

I have not heard of this one but maybe somebody here has.
Lines 1-4 still ok?

Its a system issue and not carrier by sounds of it.

Things to try:
Reboot
Diable card and re-enable in hardware if can.
Change card, or swap with other card already there and see if problem stays with lines or slot.

I forget which software level or KSU but it had an issue and caused havoc when doing a line copy.

Stupid question, is it restricted software? I don't remember if the lines 31-34 still show up or not. Seem to remember changing a restricted software with standard and having problems with adding lines.
 
I had a system do this to me once, no matter what I did it wouldn't take. I finally copied from line 001 and it stuck! Give it a try and let us know.

Ive got some 4.0 sw restricted software and the lines go 1 to 4 then jump to the target lines.
 
silver987 has the correct easiest way of fixing it.Whatever works sometimes is the best way to go. I've seen it a few times & it makes no sense but copying fixed it.
 
Thanks guys

Finally got back to the customer with the problem. The copy command did work, fyi if you have to change it back you have to change one of the 1st 4 lines to non supervised then copy to lines 31-34 as needed. For some reason you cannot direct program that feature on those lines, copy from one of the 1st 4 is the only way.
 
maybe you got ripped off and someone drew "CI" on a regular line card, does it say ds or ci on the card or is it blank?
 
isn't there a 3rd type of line card, one that is blank and does not support DS?
 
Would not those cards be missing the notch and not fit in the MICS & CICS?
