Idle or Inactive TN Query 1

[vsmith1026]

I know there is load query I can do to show me how many days a programmed tn has been idle/inactive but can't remember how to do it? I just know there is a way I can query this???

I ran a LD 30 diagnostics which tests all sets from the set back to the Jack and if it fails it means either a set is unplugged or it's a Set issue or a Jack issue or Cable issue. I had 12 fail. I obviously got a little messy in my house cleaning and I have programmed TN's and possibly cross connected that are in fact vacant.

Your help is appreciated!

I remember I remember it's just that sometimes I forget what I remember! LOL

Thank you Tek-Tips Members!

[highlight #EF2929][/highlight]I dug into my manuals AND Tek-Tips and came across a couple of suggestions to find what I was looking for - this is what I found to do:

LD 32 and do an LDIS X Y (X being Loop and Y being Shelf - for large system) or LDIS 0 - 4 (0 - 4 for cabinets in small system) it will show you disabled sets that can be removed if you are not using them.

OR

LD 117 and print INV GEN SETS. Wait until it finishes and then do INV PRT SETS. Any TN's that show “Unavailable” could be free and spare?.

This pointed me to several tn's I'm going to investigate to determine IF they are still active. That being said I have one question FOR YOU about one of the tn's that showed “Unavailable” when I generated INV GEN SETS. See printout below:

2616, 024 0 02 09, <Unavailable>, WOTTEN, 3121 - WHY IS THIS SHOWING UNAVAILABLE WHEN I KNOW 100% IT'S AN ACTIVE SET?

Don't rely on what is listed as unavailable when you use the INV PRT SETS command. I've had a couple of cases where the customer had an Option 11c mini that used the 48 port digital cards for slots 4 to 6 in each of the main mini cabinets.

I found that modt of these ports were showing as unavailable, yet I knew that they were in use. Also I had one case where another customer had installed a Nortel Meridian digital Polycomm soundstation conference phone. This set didn't show up as being in use.

I also stated the TN in LD 32 under IDU etc and it failed to see it. You might have a situation where in your case DN 3121 is also configured as an analogue phone and the digital port has been removed?.

All the best

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

Thank you for you reply and for telling me about the Polycomm soundstation conference phones because 3-5 of them are in fact the Polycomm Soundstation units!

Thanks again!
