New Caller ID Trunk Cards Auto Attendant Failure 1

Tested on:
MICS with Ver 6.1, Rel. 2 Ram cartridge with Call Pilot 100 Ver. 2.1 ( customer system )
MICS with Ver. 7.0, Rel. 2 ram cartridge with Call Pilot 100 Ver. 3.0 ( my test system )

The problem C1 trunk cards are made in Mexico, Rel. 03, date manufactured 2011/05/26 (as new as they get I think even in Avaya boxes), Quantity 2

I was upgrading a customer for Caller ID on the first 8 lines and they use full auto attendant. After installing the 2 new Caller ID trunk cards on the rel 6.1 MICS I noticed that when I entered an extension from the auto attendant that the ports would not transfer the calls. The response would be, "One Moment Please", "That Extension Is Not Available " and the menu would repeat. When you try another extension you would get the same response. I tried calling back and the same response as above. I would then call a 3rd or 4th time and all of the sudden, "One Moment Please" ringback heard and phone is now ringing with caller id presented. When you push * in mailbox ( return to AA ) and try another extension, no problem, it works. Call back with new call and again failure, "One Moment Please", "That Extension Is Not Available ".

I took an older caller id card out of the expansion cabinet and put it in slot 1, it worked with no problem. I move the old C1 back to the expansion and the DS cards back to slots 1 and 2 of the KSU ( just like prior to arrival and the auto attendant was back to normal ) and departed.

I spent 2 hours trouble shooting this from the bench of my rel 7 MICS system through all trunk ports. Same problem and failure rate on both cards. Made incoming test calls on each trunk port. Once I hit a bad port I would test 6 - 8 times, failure would occur 2 or 3 times then work. There were other ports that would work 2 or 3 times then fail. Port 2 on 1st card was failing to transfer. Ports 1,2,3,4 on second card where failing.

I have never seen any thing like this. Has anyone heard about new defective trunk cards? Any suggestions? Thanks,

Dave
 
I don't see the word "Global on them". I have seen that on other later rel. cards. I have never had to change the dip switches on these. I just looked at a newer ver DS card and noticed 8 dip switches set to on. On these new C1 cards have 10 dip switches all set to on. I searched the part no. and indication is they are global.

Part no. NT7B7AAAJ 03
 
The dip switch settings can also be found in the Installer Guide: Planning the installation > Trunk and Station Modules > Global Analog Trunk Cartridge/CLI Cartridge.
 
I looked in the boxes and nothing on paper, just the white paper with hazardous substance rating in different languages. I noticed on the card itself there is a diagram with settings for location. North America has 2 options.

XXXXX00000 North America 600OHMS

XXXXX00001 North America 900OHMS

X= reserved default 0

The configuration come as all 10 in the ON position ( "On" would be a "1" I would think ) on this newer card.

As well I had a better look at the Global DS card I have. All 8 dip switches on it are actually in the "Off" position and not "ON" as I previously posted.

I get the feeling I need to switch all 10 switches into the "off" position for North America 600ohms

Any further clarification would be appreciated.

Manual shows all 0's (dip switch off)

Has anyone had to switch all 10 dip switches on these new cards to get them to function properly? This would be the first time I had to switch these. It states in the 6.1 manual the 8 dip switches defaults to 0's/off ( ready for North America ). There is a yellow selifane wrapping on the dip switch of this new card. Switching the dip switch would breach the clear yellow wrapping.
 
Sorry, the prompt I heard when there is a problem occurs is "One Moment Please" "You have entered an invalid extension" NOT "That Extension Is Not Available
 
I switched all the dip switches to off and problem still happened. So I added a cp150 ver 3.1 to the scenario and problem solved. So these C1 trunk cards want to work with 3.1 software in a Call Pilot. Interesting. I wonder how a Flash voicemail would react. I just might give that a try later.

Perhaps I didn't even have to do the dip switches, however the diagram on the card indicates that. Any further thoughts?
