OVL428

[Krul72]

Hello scholars and gentlemen,

I discovered that the PCMCIA slots (tracks?) on my SSC Nortel Meridian card were broken which prevented me from backing up.

CALL SERVER/MAIN CAB
VERSION 2121
RELEASE 4
ISSUE 50 W
IDLE_SET_DISPLAY NORTEL

So to increase the stupidity of the situation, I had another SSC card milling around looking for some action. The card didnt have the security dongle or daughterboard so I moved the parts from the old to the new. Bad plan. Now I am getting OVL428 when trying to logi with my admin2. I've tried restoring archived backups to no success. They restore, but OVL428 is really bringing me down. I put the old card back, but with the same result.

I'm certain it has something to do with the dongle and the TID not matching. I do not have the software although I can get into PDT2 if looking to make it worse. And before anyone gets too excited, this is just a three phone lab. I need the dial-tone for a different application. So I'm down if the best solution is to go all Office Space with a baseball bat on the switch.

If I am SOL, does anyone have a recommendation for a small phone switch that I can use to pass dial-tone to a Cisco UCM 12.5? Preferably one from the last twenty years?

What you have done is to swap over items that can make it worse than it was before.

Your daughterboard contains the software, a backup and login information.
OVL 428 is happening because you have a different account / password used.
This information can be accessed via "pdt" but we don't discuss it on this forum.

You also have a security dongle that has a site ID and this needs to be paired with the correct daughterboard.

My advice is to put everything back as it originally was and find a tech who knows how to diganose the problem.

Thanks Firebird. I think its easier to find someone who can read ancient hieroglyphics than to find someone local to troubleshoot this switch. Believe me, I tried. I did put everything back but I'm still getting OVL428.

As I said, you need to get hold of a tech. I have a link that contains useful information that you can refer with.

You are probably getting the OVL428 because it did an EDD and wiped out the daughterboard. So now as Firebird said you are worse off than when you started.
