Senior Moments with 0x16 station numbers

[whender]

How do I determine the stations numbers associated with a 0x16? I have an MICS with 6 port combo. 0x16 in bottom of combo has extensions 300-315, the 0x16 in next combo slot has a solid red light, but I cannot find the extension numbers. ASM8 in next slot of combo is ok. When I look in maintenance at modules, ksu 31, 0x16 10, 0x16 changes every time I look, 20, 7, 5, sets and so forth. ASM8 had 8. I think the 0x16 is bad, but not certain. The other 0x16 and asm8 have green lights. I think light color, as long as solid, does not matter. Have not tried new 0x16. Is that the next step. Have reset the 0x16 in the 4th slot through software, powered off and on, and switched ds30s.

Any help would be appreciated.

tks

My experience is with an 8x24DS, not the MICS, so take this with a grain of salt. On the 8x24, port numbers for DS30 expansion port #3 are 301-316. Port numbers for the expansion port 4 should be 401-416. 5 would 501-516, etc.

Have you tried connecting a phone to the new 0x16 and doing a button inquiry on the intercom buttons - see what port number/Directory number the phone has now?

My next step would be to swap the ds-30 cords for the two 0x16s (as long as it won't mess up your users). (And if set relocation is on it might be a _bad_ idea.) But at least if you unplug the known good 0x16 and plug the new one into it's port, you should be able to quickly determine if the new one is coming up by punching down on one of those ports and seeing what the phone tells you for port number. (It should be 301-316 range.)

Again - see if the others who know the mics agree before you risk swapping cords...

Lamp colour doesn't matter. Sounds like the MICS is seeing the module.

Check you amphenol and make sure it's plugged in all the way.

8x24 and MICS extension numbers will come out different. You can easily go into programming and see what exts belong to what ports. If you want to see it in black n white then Google the information.

When I look in maintenance at modules, ksu 31, 0x16 10, 0x16 changes every time I look, 20, 7, 5, sets and so forth. ASM8 had 8.

When you look at a Module Status in Maintenance, it displays the number of devices actually connected to the module.

For a 0x16 SM, it displays the number of devices currently connected to the module. So, if you have 12 digital phones currently connected to the module, it should display 12 sets. Then, if you add one phone, it should display 13 sets. Then again, if you remove 3 phones, it should display 10 sets. Also, remember that some devices (for example, a doorphone or a voicemail) use the B1 and the B2 channels. Each channel is considered a set, so it makes sense that the number of sets is greater than 16.

For a 0x8 ASM, it always display 8 sets (or 16 sets, if you have two 0x8 ASM chained together). This is because the ASM doesn't detect whether an analog device is connected.

How do I determine the stations numbers associated with a 0x16?

You find them under Maintenance > Port/NA Status.

For example, if you want to find out the NA of the station connected to the first port of the second 0x16 SM, you dial port 401. The display then shows the port number (P401), the device type (for example, 7208) and the DN (for example, 333).
