Line pool assignment help 1

[egnalc]

I am new to configuring the Mod ICS, this ia followup to a previous post. I have 5 lines and Iam going to add 7 more lines. It looks like the 5 lines are assigbed to line pool A. I want to use the other 7 lines for outgoung so i guess I will need to assign them to line pool B. How is this done, it looks like the lines are numbered 01-04, 25-28, 49-52, 53-56, 61,64, 69-72.

I copied down the following settings

TC1 on KSU 01-04
TC2 on KSU 25-28
TC1 on TM3 61-64
TC1 on TM4 49-52
TC2 on TM4 53-56
TC3 on TM3 69-72

I take it the lines aren't numbered from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc

Is my 5th line actually line 25?

What does the above actually mean.
How can I assign a line pool to a button?


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

No the lines aren't 1,2,3,4,5etc.
Card 1 in slot 4 of the KSU holds lines: 1-4
Card 2 in slot 3 of the KSU holds lines: 025-028 (5-8)

Card 1 in slot 1 of the first trunk mod: 049-52 (9-12)
Card 2 in slot 2 of the first trunk mod: 057-060 (13-16)
Card 3 in slot 3 of the first trunk mod: 065-068 (17-20)

They do it that way in order to accomodate other types of line cards. IE., if you had a DTI T-1 card in the KSU then the lines for that slot would number 001-024. Then if you had another DTI- T-1 card in slot 3 of the KSU the lines would number 025-048. If you look at it like that then the 1st line number available would be 049 in your 1st trunk mod.

Anyway, if you are using regular LS/DS POTS lines then they can be both incoming and outgoing. There would be no need to put them two separate line pools. Line pools are designed to grab the LAST line in the pool 1st to go out over. So that incoming calls would come in on line 1 then roll to 2 then rolls to 3 etc. Outgoing would take line 3 then 2 then 1 for instance. So you can put all the lines in line pool A.

Then go into System Programming - SHOW
Press NEXT until you see Access Codes - SHOW
Line Pool Codes - SHOW
Line Pool A: NONE. Press CHANGE and dial 9 or whatever you want the code to be.
Then hit your HEADER button three times to System Programming.
Then the BACK button until you get to
Terminals&Sets - SHOW
Show Set: Dial in the ext number you want to give access to the line pool.
223:223 - Show
Line Access - SHOW
Line Assignment - NEXT
LinePool Access - SHOW
LinePool A: N - CHANGE to Y
Do this for all extentions wou want to have access to the pool.
Now go up to the phone and press Feature * 3, then press the button you want to be the line pool button, then dial Feature 649. Now you have a line pool button. Do this for every extension.

There you are.......

When you physically add the lines to your system in the telephone closet for an mics line 001 is connected to port 201 line 2 is port 202:

line port line port

049 801
1 201 050 802
2 202 051 803
3 203 052 804
4 204


025 225
026 226
027 227
028 228
So if you connect the line from telco to port 226 in programming under trk/line 026 add it to pool b don't forget to make a different outgoing digit for pool b than you did for pool a

Thanks for the help, I have 2 amphinol plugs for lines, will it make a difference where I terminate the lines from the CO. I have 5 lines from Verizon and the 7 new lines from a CLEC. The customer wants to use the 7 new lines for outbound calls, cheaper rates that is why Im opting for 2 line pools. The way Verizon terminated the lines threw me a little because they skipped 3 pairs between terminations. Does the system read lines in the order terminated?

Check out the FAQ index in this forum. It will tell you the pinouts for the trunks on a MICS.

If you set up the way mr roberts advised you then you would have selection of your clec first and your verision lines only if all clec lines are busy. If you do not want to make any outside calls over verison then again do as instructed above but also change the pool assignment of your verision lines to pool b or c so that the line pool access code (9 usually) will only access the clec. (this alsos keeps your programming down to a minimum). JerryReeve

I followed the pinout that is in the reference manual for the Norstar. Lines 01-04 and 25-28 are punched and working. The next 3 lines 49-52 are not referred to in the manual. All the lines now are punched to the amphinol plug coming from the main unit, the amphinol plug coming from the TM 1 has nothing punched to it, sould I terminate the other lines on that block

Yes, pairs one and two get lines 49 and 50, then skip two pairs, then terminate lines 51 and 52 on pairs five and six.
