Merlin Magix 1.0 Board Renumber 1

[CableMonkey]

Can you put a 024 TDL in a Magix 1.0 v6.0 Hybrid/PBX mode? The reason I am asking is because every time I do a board renumber, the system acts as if I only have a card in slot one, there are actually 5 cards in the carrier.

If the 024TDL was bad, would that prevent the other cards from being detected by the board renumber feature?

These are the cards I have in the carrier.

Slot 1 = 412 TDL
Slot 2 = 024 TDL
Slot 3 = 016 T/R
Slot 4 = 800 GS/LS
Slot 5 = Merlin Messaging

have you saved a backup on flash then default the system and try moving that card to the end to see if the renumber works up to that board? if it does then it may be a bad card. or wrong vintage.

The card should work just fine. To answer you other question, if the card was bad, it could prevent the system from seeing the remaining cards. As Ken said, do a backup, then try rearranging the cards. Put the 024 last, first, etc. to see what happens. I am not aware of any release conflicts on the 024 and Magix

I removed the 024 TDL card and moved every other card to the left one slot and I still have the same problem, only the first card is recognized. I have tried doing a board renumber and manually assigning the cards to the slots but that didn’t help. Would this indicate that I have a bad carrier or processor?

Ken07734, How would I default the system?

It seems from what your syaing that the system will not read past the first card. this could indicate a faulty backplane or inherint problem with the processor. I would backup to flash card first then power down and remove all cards except the proc. connect to the proc via a laptop or PC with WinSPM version 7 or higher and (assuming you are familiar with SPM mode) default the processor as follows:

Maintanance
Slot
00
Demand Test
F3 (two times)
answer Yes to the erase prompt.

Repeat above one more time.

once the Proc is defualted, power down and insert one card at a time, powering down before inserting and test to see if the system see's each card as you power up. place the suspected card last in this process.

If you still have an issue with the cards, I would then try a new backplane first and if that fails try a new processor.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks Ken. The default procedure worked.
