E&M with 2 Norstars 1

[CoastalComm]

I've got 2 Norstars with E&M trunk cards in them, I'm having trouble configuring the E&M cards. They are located in the same location. Any help on how to configure would be greatly appreciated.

This is from mroberts post on Networking Switches:Yeah, you can network two switches together using E&M, here's how it works.....How to Network two Modular ICS systems together using E&M Lines

Each E&M card handles (2) trunks each. E&M cards cannot go into the KSU. They must go into trunk modules and are only compatible with Modular ICS & Modular 8X24 phone systems.
You’ll need to order however many E&M tie circuits that you need. You will tell Telco who is site A and site B. If you are using a T-1 you will need to tell Telco which channels you want to designate E&M tie circuits. Make sure you tell them that you need Type II 4 pair circuits. Norstar will not do Type 1.

You will need to disable the card, program it to be E&M, then re-enable it.

To Disable / Enable Card:
From Terminals & Sets – Next until you get to Maintenance – Show
Next until get to Module Status – Show
Show module – Next
KSU (1):
Next until get to the correct module – Show
Mod8: ( ) cards – Press Card
Card 1: 0 lines – Press State
( ) Ports Busy – Press Disable / Enable
Disable at once? – Yes

Changing Card Type:
Hardware – Show
Show Module – Next
Cards on KSU – Next until get to the appropriate Module
Mod 08: Trunk Mod – Show
CD1 – Mod8: Loop – Change to E&M then Press Next
Cd2 – Mod8: Loop – Change to E&M then Press Next to change the third card if needed.
Now re-enable the card

In order for site A to dial site B you will need to put all the E&M trunks in a line pool, assign it an access code and give that line pool access to each extension.

Line programming:
Lines – Show
Show Line:
Line049:Line049 – Show
Trunk / Line Data – Show
Trunk Type: E&M
Line Type: Pool C or any other unused pool
Dial mode: Tone
PrimeSet: 221
AutoPrivacy: N
Ans Mode: Auto
Aux Ringer: N
Signal: Wink
Ani number: N
DNIS number:N
Gain: Normal



Assigning Line Pool Access:
Terminals & Sets
Show set: (enter ext#) – Show
Line Access – Show
Line Assignment – Next
LinePool Access – Show
LinePoolA: Y – NEXT
LinePoolC: N – Change to Yes

This must be done each extension you want to be able to dial to the other site.

When callers from one side pick up their handset and dial the access code for the line pool containing the E&M trunks they will hear intercom tone of the other side. They can then dial an extension. In order for the call to ring at the dialed extension you must assign a Target Line to each extension of both sides. The Received digits will be the extension number itself.

Target Lines Programming:
From Lines – Show
Show LN: 145 – Show (target line range from 145-275 non-XC SW, 145-336 XC SW)
Target LN – Next
Private to: (extension number) – Next
Rec’d #: (enter extension #) – Next
If Busy: to prime – Next
PrimeSet: 221 change to the extension # - Next
CLID Set: None – Next
Aux. Ringer: N – Next
End of list

Thanks so much Executone, this is very comprehensive. I'm going to set this up in my lab with 2 MICS before installing at customers premise. What is the correct cross connect from each E&M cards punch down block, to test this. Thanks agains for your response.

How many trunks will you be using?
for the first 4 as follows:
1 (TX) to 2 (Rx)
2 (Rx) to 1 (TX)
3 (e) to 4 (m)
4 (m) to 3 (e)
5 to 6
6 to 5
7 to 8
8 to 7
9 to 10
10 to 9
11 to 12
12 to 11
13 to 14
14 to 13
15 to 16
16 to 15
If you need more pinouts check out the FAQ area on the modulelsl. I would test this by monitoring the TX pair from MICS A and seeing if I could hear the digit drop to the second mics. this would give you a starting point. JerryReeve
