Does anyone know if a CTA will work off an extender? Trying to come up with a solution. I don'thave an extender to lab with.

mck extender 2

I, like you, cannot verify it, but I really think that it will work. I have had very good results with the MCK extenders and believe that they pass everything along on the B channel just as if the CTA were on the core.

I think you may be right but MCK does not list the CTA as a supported device. It doesn't list a 7324 or CAP as being supported either.

PhM,
According to their site and docs....yes.
I don't have a lot of experience with the extenders so i don't know what they were saying before. Now they say the ATA is.

On my system here...
- ATA (ancient ancient) does not work
- ATA2 works just fine
- Lynx ATA doesn't work
- M7208, M7310, M7324 all work
Have not tried a CAP, but if anybody really wants to know I can throw one on easy enough.
Hope this helps,

I would think you would have to provide a power supply at the remote site. I think the extender just transmits the digital "data"

I have a question I hope someone can help me with
I have obtained a couple of CMK (E-6000-RLMO8) Extenders for testing. However, no documentation accompanied the units.
Can anyone tell me the pin outs for use with Nortel devices?

Hi AlquestTech,
If the part number really contains "RLM" and not "RNM" you are up the creek. The L stands for Lucent (T for Toshiba, N for Nortel). ALso, "R" stands for remote module and "S" stands for switch module.
What you really need in order to have a working install on a Nortel KSU is one "RNM" and one "SNM"

Most MCKs can be modified to work with the Nortel even if they are RLM RTM, etc. What I dont think you can do is change a sender (gateway) into a receiver.
For the record, SMDR 6 does NOT work over MCK. I think the MCK does not support the 2nd B channel so I am going to also guess that VM like Startalk, Flash, Nam or Callpilot wont exactly work either as they use both B channels.

Help Please,
I am looking for a Norstar solution where a customer can have an extension at home, off the main telephone switch at the office. (CICS or MICS) Is there any way to use the Norstar VOIP gateway maybe in concert with a third party solution?
Let me know
Thanks

As far as I know (from nosing around inside) the hardware for both the switch and gateway sides (at least on the 6000 series) looks to be the same. And I believe this also holds true that the hardware across different switch platforms is the same (ie. 1 board, 10 different uses).
I was told at one point by MCK that once the boards have their identity burned into them at the factory that this cannot be changed. Now I don't know if that means a physical "can't be changed", a "we could change it but that would mean you wouldn't buy a new one so we won't". My personal guess is that there is a secondary flash process that they use at MCK to flash the identity onto the boards, maybe not field reversable?
Anyway, that's my 2 cents

Mike,
Right and Wrong. I have seen RLMs turn into RNMs in the field so I think this would fall under the heading of "we dont want you to do this but" but I have never seen nor been able to turn an RNM into an SNM.
As far as Marty1's question, the MCK is a near perfect solution and will do just what he wants.
