I want to add another MOX16 to my setup - Will this change my System ID? Break Enablement?

[konanick]

Norstar MICS 7.0 with 2 X MOX16's and 3 X MOX8A's, CallPilot150, in service since '06.

I'm down to the last 7 of my digital lines, and want to pick up a MOX16 to get me by for another 2 years.

I have an available slot on my fiber expansion cartridge.(NTBB06GA)
One of those MOX8A's is not in use (nothing punched to it) - and since Fax and Modems have evaporated over the years, I might be able to do with just one Analog module.

Is it simple enough to unplug and remove the unused analog module(s), physically install the MOX16, connect the fiber and use the Browser tool (or set) to see if the add-on has been recognized?

While browsing, I came across a site selling PRI Enabler key codes - I read a warning that stated "Rearranging MICS modules will alter the system ID and render the key code invalid."

Other than adding my CallPilot seats if necessary, do I also have to worry about having my SYSTEM ID change when adding and removing modules?

any supporting tips and other tips appreciated,
Thanks,
Nick

I would unplug the 0x8A, and install the 0x16 in an available fiber port and turn it on. I would not shut off the MICS cpu. Attach a 25pair to the 0x16 and your sets should come right up. You should not lose any sys id. If you have remote utilities do a backup anyways.

I agree, fibre cords is plug and play (hot swappable) when powered up.

Rearranging modules should not effect system id, only when messing with expansion cards incorrectly maybe.

If swapping the 0x8 for the 0x16 I would disable the port in Maintenance first, change from ASM to station module in Hardware, swap the modules, then enable the port in Maintenance. As was mentioned the mods are hot swappable so no need to power down the MICS.
