I have an IP Office with only digital phones. A users phone is dead all of a sudden. Apparantley, he swapped it out for another phone last week and it worked again but now it's dead again. This obviously not a hardware issue. Is it common for a port to go bad on the module ??
 
They can go bad or just get locked.

Try first to power down the IPO and the module with the bad port and start it up again.
 
I kind of can't reboot it as the users are traders and will freak. I have the main module and 1 expansion module and each port is already allocated an extension. If needed to move this extension to another port how do I do that?? Do I just overwrite the extension field in another port and then reboot the system??
 
If they can't have their system rebooted they shouldn't have bought an IPO cause it needs its rebooting :)

You have to reboot to move the extension so you're still in the same spot.

They can't work around the clock, or they can.
 
yep and make sure you don't duplicate users on those ports, but since you would have to reboot anyways, you might try what Janni78 suggested.
Since trading sets worked for a while, maybe you can do that until you can reboot it
 
it's an 8 port digital module along with an expansion module. no new power supply .. the systems been installed for close to a year and never had to reboot.

If all my ports are assigned and ext already.. can I just edit the extension field of another port to keep the existing ext for the troubled user/port??
 
First thing i would do is plug the phone directly into port at the system b4 u reboot. this will tell you if there is a problem with the IPO port or its a wiring issue. 90% of the time its a wiring problem. This will atleast give u some indication of what the problem is b4 u try other solutions..
