Report Number of Unused/Disabled Phones

[HopperNH]

Hi Folks,

I've been tasked with keeping track of this division's monthly telco allocations. I used the SETS feature report in LD 81 to get a total count of allocated sets; but, that report (I assume) counts everything that is programmed, regardless of status (IDLE or DISBL). Is there a way to just show the disabled sets alone, or get a count of those. My goal is to get an accurate list of phones that are actually in use; not a combined list of unused/disabled phones and phones in use. I attempted to generate a traffic report using LD 2; but, it appears there are limitations to the granularity I can get (i.e. can't get the report to show statistics on a specific set/TN) and I haven't quite got the knack for it -- both syntax-wise and theory-wise. I've pretty much searched the NTP's until my eyes bled (I happened to find some nifty features during my adventures, though). The company's trying to pinch every penny they can to keep up with this tightening economy. Any help is greatly appreciated.

go to ld 97

Req: prt
Type: xpe
XPEC : (just hit enter)

It will print out all your loops.

4,8,12, etc...

Go to ld 32

.ldis 4 0 (enter)

It will show you what is disabled. You might have some power TN's so don't delete/count those, but the phones will list as well.

If you don't get a listing you will need to run a shelf test in ld 30 and it will give them to you, but it should be in your midn to run this ld.

Hope this helps. If not drop me a line.

Thank you, very much! That was exactly what I was looking for. I found a couple power TN's as you mentioned and took care not to delete them or count them toward the allocation. The help was very much appreciated!
