magix 100dcd board installation 1

[scooter77]

What is the easiest way to install a 100dcd board? My system has all slots full, 3 cabinets. slot 4 has an old 408 analog board, which I can do away with. I recently replaced the analog 408 with the 100dcd board. I had to do a board renumber in order for the system to let me do any programming for the 100. However, when that happened, the system moved all stations down 1 slot, which screwed everything up from slot 5 to 17. I was able to do a restore once I removed the 100 board. Will I have to renumber the station ports back to the way it was after I try this again or will I be better off moving the 016, currently in slot 17 , to slot 4, and installing the 100 board in slot 17??? The reason for the 100 dcd board is for a new AT&T flex circuit.
Thanks for any input !!!

The Legend/Magix is not very forgiving when moving modules around. You will have to renumber everything to the right of where you install the 100DCD Module (or other module you replace). If you move the 016MLX to slot 4 then you will have all 8 extensions from the old 408 on the first 8 ports of this card and the first 8 extensions from the next extension card (probably slot 5) on the second half of the card. Everything will shift. The best way to attack this is to print off the current port layout and then once you move everything and do a board renumber start renumbering as needed.

Yes, this can become an EXTREMELY UGLY MESS real quick! - You will be changing the Programming on EVERYTHING (Buttons, Features, ALL KINDS OF STUFF) when you start swapping Modules around. Everything that was to the RIGHT of the LAST ORIGINAL MODULE will be affected.

I would advise looking at what you have (Print SYSTEM SETUP) and see if there's some Module in the LAST Carrier you can eliminate to keep the pain from being too intense.

I have done this (By Accident) and it took a full weekend to fix the mess I made. A Print All can be of some help, but you really only want to move no more than is absolutely necessary to do what you are trying to do.

The further to the right you can go with the substitution, the better.

as an alternate idea, your system configuration is currently full, how would it complicate your life to install and network a new control unit?
