WTB: TN2311AP Processor Card for G3si R9 Lab (Hobbyist Preservation Project)

[AncientEnterprise]

Hi all,

I’m a longtime telecom hobbyist working on a historically accurate lab build of an Avaya Definity G3si R9 system. This is part of a project I run called Ancient Enterprise, which is dedicated to preserving enterprise technology of all types — including PBX systems, networking infrastructure, terminal equipment, and software platforms that powered businesses from the 1980s through the early 2000s. The goal is to keep this technology operational, understood, and accessible — not just as static museum pieces, but as working systems that can be explored, documented, and taught from.

I’ve already assembled a G650 chassis with digital and analog line cards, DS1s, and C-LAN — but I’m missing a TN2311AP processor card to get it running. I’m specifically looking for:

• TN2311AP, hardware vintage V8–V10
• Ideally tested/working, but I’ll consider clean pulls
• U.S.-based preferred (but flexible)
• Software load information

If you have one available or know of a source outside of eBay, I’d love to connect. This is a personal preservation project — not for resale — and I’m happy to share documentation and updates back with the community.

Thanks for your time, and for helping keep this knowledge alive.

Best,


Marshal

No such thing as tn2311ap

g3v9si and g3csiv9 work in MCC MultiCarrier cabinets, SCC Single Carrier Cabinets, Prologics CMC (Compact Modular Cabinets
processor for g3si is tn2404 (can be single or duplicated processors)
processor for g3csi is tn2402
g3rv9 works in single and duplicated control cabinets for up to 44 port networks.
g650 cabinets were introduced for port packs for phones, trunks, networking linux based servers s8300, s8400, s8500, s87xx that took the place of the larger footprint cabinets.

Below is a control cabinet for g3r which used hard disk and optical diskettes for backup media. The optical diskettes took the place of various tape backups on the older platforms g3v2, g3v3, g3v4, g3v5, g3v6, g3v7, g3v8. R-Media Drive tn2211 was for the optical diskettes. and worked with g3v6 and higher.
