Option 81c/25.30/DNUMS per Net group/how does MSDL x know which group?

[Barbarian7]

in thread798-989873
M1PBXtech & johnpoole talk about how on the option 81c you can have DNUMs 0-15 within *each* Network Group (0,1,2,...).

My question is: when spinning up a new MSDL card (like a NT6D80), and in LD 96 you:

ENL MSDL x FDL

where x = DNUM you have carefully chosen to be unique within the network group the card physically resides in (and pinned-out accordingly on the on-board switches), how does the meridian know which network group/DNUM x you mean?

Something tells me I missed a step somewhere...
What did I miss?

BTW - the hardware is physically installed, but not enabled/configured, so it does not show up in LD 22/prt/adan... is there any way to tell what DNUM it is set to without physically inspecting it?

Much thanks,
Barbarian

Are you adding additional? If you already have existing go ahead a post your existing ADAN

 

[Reusser]

When you are building a MSDL port in ADAN - if you enter MSDL for card type it asks you group number.

Once build and you stat MSDL it will ask for Group

 

[johnpoole]

when you map dch in 96 is shows you the group and if you stat msdl x return the switch ask group

Thanks guys... but evidently the thing I am missing is *before* all of that.... seems like I need to do something like:

LD 17
REQ chg
TYPE cfn
ADAN new msdl x <-- where x is my carefully selected DNUM?

etc
Cannot find any doc on this part :-(

*Then* when that is all happy, I can move on to this stuff, right?

ld 17 chg
adan
adan= new dch x
you'll need the device number (switch setting)
and the port number.. + card type..
CTYP MSDL

Quick run down...

First, build the Loops within your CFN in ld 17. This is where you select either AMI/B8ZS. In load 17 you would select CHG then CEQU for common equipment. then return down to DLOP to select what loops you wanted to build the spans on. Just simply enter the loop numbers and select the right coding.(this is dependant on where you physically place the card in the system).

Second you would have to place the MSDL card in an available network slot. Make sure to adrress the MSDL card with an open device number within your system (print cfn and write down device numbers, use one within 1-15 that does not exist). You will see where it has the two dials on the MSDL to select this device number. Once inserted and self tested goto load 17 and start configuring the DCH. It should look somewhat like this.

Thanks to all who responded.
(I have not yet learned the Nortel way of thinking...)

I learned you do not need to add the MSDL card itself in LD17... just fire-away and build your D-channels.
As Reusser says, this is when you are prompted to enter the GROUP number.

Now we're in business.
Thanks again guys.

Cheers,
