Reconsile a Nortel cs1000

[ItRollsDownhill]

I have inherited a Nortel cs1000 phone system. I am very new to Nortel, but am slowly learning my way. Here is my issue...

I need to add a couple new phones to the system, but am out of licenses.

I have spent half of two days searching google and parusing manuals and have so far come up with nothing helpful... Is there a way to have the system attempt to "ping" each of the phones that are "supposed" to be attached to the system and report back which phones do not respond? I am sure that there have be be several dozen TN's that can be deleted to free up some licenses, but with the mess the system is in currently, and supposedly having roughly 500 TN's out there, a manual reconsiliation would be most difficult.

Again, very new to nortel, so please pretend that you are writing instructions for your mom ;-)

THANK YOU!

If the phones are registered with the system you can login to the Sig Server(s) and do isetShow on CLI (Or same can be done in Element Manager). That will list all sets registered withthe SS you run it on. Also in LD 117 you can use "prt dnip <dn>" to see if a set is registered or not.

The only thing to watch out for is if you use virtual office, often a group of host sets with limited dialing on desks, then you have seperate user accounts (users hotdesk and login where ever the find a seat). In this case the user accounts would not be registered unless they were in use, when they are in use in this way on the isetShow on the SS both TNs are shown (Set TN and Registered TN).

If these are regular digital sets (m2616 m3904 etc) you can use ld 117
INV GEN SETS
and wait for it to finish (it will say complete)
then
INV PRT SETS

anything that is listed as Unavailable is most likely to be disconnected.

Here is a listing with a M2008 that is not plugged in:

3904, 008 0 05 02, M3904 NTMN03DA 66 01 C071D8 , KECK4 , 2690
2008, 008 0 05 03, <Unavailable>, WALSH , 2993
3904, 008 0 05 04, M3904 NTMN03EA 70 02 04FDDE , KECK4 , 2638


Hope this helps,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, but being so new to all of this your directions are over my head. Can you dumb it down a little? add some examples?

Many Thanks!

First of all, do you have digital, analog or IP phones? Or a combination of all?

30n30w:
THANKS! I'm going to try that now...

KCFLHRC:
- Roughly 10% Analog, 20% Digital, and 70% IP. I'm guessing and OK with not being able to reconcile 30%.
- The IP phones are the ones that have been handed out over the last 5 or so years and have not necessarily pulled out of service when someone left.
