Option 11 Rebuild from Power Surge

[jlk53]

I have a spare Option 11 that got a power surge.It keeps re-booting over and over. Can I download the Release off Nortel(25.40b) to a PCMCIA card and load the software off it thru the SSC card? If it does not load, what could be my problem, SSC or Daughterboard. Once that is corrected, if I have a back-up of the customer database on my laptop, can I load that onto the PBX even though it is not archived. I believe that this can be done but not sure how. I know that you can set me straight. Thanks

do you have keycodes for that switch on rls 25? .. will it respond to control i during boot?.. yes it can be rebuilt, keyscodes and security dongle are the two "musts" for that one.. have you tried to boot with just the ssc card? i've seen one go into a loop because another card in the cage was putting voltage back on the buss

I have the keycodes and security dongle for 25.40. I will check with just the SSC card. Also, is there a procedure for getting a back-up database off a PC and onto the Option 11. Thanks

You should be able to take the backup off your laptop, send it to your PCMCIA card, then slide that PCMCIA into your SSC card and install.

Once I have it on the PCMCIA card, what would be the procedure to load it onto the PBX. That is where I am confused. Thanks

Have you tried just turning the power off on the Option 11C and then powering it backup???? I have seen that work more then once.
