CONF LOOP 94, 95

[paul35]

I have an Option 11 with 2 expansions. when I print my cequ I see conf loop 29, 30, 62, 94 and 95 but when I try and stat in ld 38 loop 94 and 95 are dsbl. Should they be? how can you tell?

Very interesting question paul35. You peaked my curiousity so I dialed into 3 option 11 systems I maintain. One is a 2 cabinet system (main + expansion), one is a 4 cabinet system (main + 3 expansions) and one is a 5 cabinet system (main + 4 expansions).

**The 2 cabinet system shows conference loops 62, 94, and 95 disabled.
**The 4 cabinet system shows only loop 95 disabled. Loops 62 and 94 are enabled and working.
**The 5 cabinet system shows all conference loops enabled and working.

With your system being 3 cabinets, it stands to reason based on my results above that loops 94 and 95 be disabled.

So without no official statement or documentation from Nortel, it seems that everytime you add a cabinet you gain a conference loop. Next Friday night we will be upgrading the 4 cabinet option 11 I mention above and we will also add a 5th cabinet. I will stat the conference loops after the cabinet is added and see if it is automatically enabled.

Paul35, we upgraded a 4 cabinet Option 11 last Friday night and added a 5th cabinet. Conference loop 95 was disabled before the upgrade. Once the upgrade was complete and the 5th cabinet added I statted the conference loops again. Loop 95 was enabled and in service on its own. We didn't do anything to bring it up.

It stands to reason. Thanks for all your help in clearing this up.
