Spectralink Link3000 (6020 and ptb410) issues at midnight routine

[ddickenson]

Hello all,
I did a quick search and no one else seems to have asked this question yet. I have a new-to-me CS1000m-mg that a few nights ago I cutover to from my older Option 81c. On the 81 we have had a Spectralink system (the one that emulates a 2616, not the WLAN model) running for years. When we cut we had no issue but at the midnight routine it looks like a good number (though not all) of our handsets were disabled in the system. Has anyone else run into this type issue? I was hoping the new switch would fix some of the rare problems we've had with this system but instead it's looking like I'm on track to get a call every night at midnight saying they are down!

Edit: Also, should you be able to use the "idu" command to verify that nortel is talking to the spectralink port like you can on a regular digital set?

Try changing the CLS to FLXA and they should not disable at midnights. We have 5 sites running 7.5 with Spectralinks and do not have this problem. Make sure your patches are up to date.

Excellent, I was considering trying to make all phones not disable at midnight but I didn't realize there was a class of service for that. I'll try that. I'm running 4.5 with about 200 patches that were the latest I could find. Hopefully that works too.

I'm still having issues with spectralinks dying overnight. Is there anywhere "flxa" prints when you do a tnb print? I couldn't find it in CLS that printed out even after I manually added it to a known spectralink tn. Wondering if I lost all that programming I did...

 

[tgolds]

To print all phones with flxa go into LD81 and typ LST at REQ.
CUST 0
Then return til you get to FEAT typ flxa and then return return. It will prin all of them.

I would remove ld 30 from midnights and then run midnights during the day. Ld 30 is what disables ports with no phones. No you can't idu spectralink ports.

 

[ddickenson]

The ld 81 was what I needed. I have found several that were not in the list as having FLXA so we must have missed them. I like keeping ld 30 in the midnight routine because that's how I can reclaim numbers (digital ones anyway) if someone unplugs a phone and never bothers to tell anyone about it, which happens a lot around here!

 

[RickyPone]

What I was suggesting was for testing purposes.

 

[ddickenson]

oh, right on. I'll do that

 

[ddickenson]

In the end I had to turn off ld30 in the midn routine to make it stop, adding the FLXA did cause them to stop disabling but I was still having issues having to reset on the spectralink side. Since turning off ld 30, however, I'm not seeing those issues any longer.
