Greetings all,
I have a question that I was hoping some of you could shine some light on for me. We recently had an IT guy leave one of our sites that has a SV8300 phone system. All of the phone responsibilities have fallen into my lap, someone who has never worked with an NEC phone system before.
The issue I am running into at the present moment is that we had several users move cubicles and as a result the extension did not follow them to this new cube, indicating to me that the extensions are not tied to a MAC address but rather to a port. So what I did was logged into PCPro and looked at the Blade Coonfiguration. I found where the extension was tied to according to the Port No. and I simply swapped these two extensions with one another. I was prompted to reset the blade but was warned that calls would be dropped while system data is copied which will take some time. To provide the least amount of impact I did not reset the blade.
Now the users are telling me that the phones they have that were once working with the wrong extension are dead. They have the date/time but when they pick up the phone they do not get a dial tone. Any thoughts on how to correct this or what I need to check?
