DID trunk cards

[heathbus]

I must be missing something here because I am getting 61-4 errors when I fire up an MICS with 6.0 or another MICS with T1/R1. I have a 2 port fiber exansion module in slot 2 of the MICS and have the two DID tunk cards in a 12x0 module connected to the top fiber connection. I sometimes also get 51 or 53 errors. Since 2 different systems are doing the same thing I must be doing something wrong, what could it be?

Go into MAINTENANCE and disable then re-enable your DID trunks.

Alarm 61: The line type programmed is inappropriate or incompatable for the line that is connected to the port.

is this a new install? are you sure that your phone lines are E&M (or DID) truns coming from the telco?

I have 5 DID trunks connected to the system but was assuming that whether or not the trunks are connected the MICS should find the trunk cards and configure itself upon power up. This is a new system but I also have a T1R1 MICS on the bench with the same hardware configuration and it seems to work the same way. I tried removing the 6.0 software cartridge and inserting the T1R1 assuming it may be a 6.0 bug but the system would not boot up. Any other thoughts?

Go into config, and look at the line ports in question to see what type of lines they are showing up as. The system might still think they are loop.

I have a 6.0 MICS that I installed E&M trunks on, they were detected as loop. I just simply had to change it to E&M. Since DID are E&M circuits, It is probably the same issue.

You guys turned out to be right. The cards show up as loop start trunks and need to be changed to DID. It gets a lot easier after they are changed. Thanks for the help.
