How to find out what extension is using a specific port 1

[TwystedPair]

I'm working with an S8500.

I am trying to add an analog line to an office. On the patch panel, i found an analog port that was not being used. I cross-connected it to an open analog port on the switch. When I try to add that port # to a new extension, I get an error that the port is already in use. I know that it's an old extension that I no longer need, but how do I search on the switch for what extension is using that port?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

- Matt

Call your self and status your set. It will show you the connecting port. Then display port xxxxxx will show you the number.

When is the last time you helped someone, just because you were able to?

For the best response to a question, read faq690-6594

Thanks for the quick reply mikeydidit, and please excuse my ignorance. Call myself from what? How do I "status my set?" The only piece of info that I know is the port number. On the station screen, it's formatted like this "01B1004"

Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.

You can do 'display port x' and it will show you what is assigned to port x. The command can be used for stations & trunks.
