We have been looking at an upgrade for our Opt11C. We can purchase SRS for 3 years for a very reasonable amount and Nortel is allowing us to spread the payments over the 3 years which would make it an operating expense. Just something you might try looking into or asking your vendor about.

Finally I have a working console. It comes up with an "MN" (minor alarm) but no numbrs or information on what it is. Also it has a loud and erratic popping. I have changed the handset, cord, and plug. Any suggestions? p.s. Thank you for the help.

That brings up other questions about our installation. When I was trained on this system, I was told that the consoles had to be on one card and nothing else was to be put on the card with the consoles... The consoles have been on tn 0&1 and 2&3 as long as I have been there. As I recall, they...

In adding the 3rd console, I placed it after the first two on port 14 4 & 14 5. Is the card limited to how many consoles it can handle?

I don't even have that much displayed. No lights or anything. I do have the two tn's plugged in. I don't believe this to be over 100'. I have tried the spare at this location, and it does not work there either.

I added a 2250 console to our opt 11c. When the console is plugged in, there is no response. Do I need to enable the ports somewhere? Is there anything odd about the wiring?

When you push it to sets, does it go to all sets or can you send it to a few to play with? I was just thinking it might be interesting to learn, but if it is a maint. nightmare it may not be something I would want to create for myself.

We have recently added some IP phones and some 3903's to our system and there is an application called "Corporate Directory". I have read some about it and am curious if anyone has it running on their system and what they think of it?

It is the VM that is answering and it varies which box it is going to... What is DRT?

It's not going through the AA. I am trying to set it up sort of as a back line so anything on that line rings all phones.

I have added the line to a hunt group... it still goes into voicemail after one ring. I have checked all the phones and I cannot find any that are forwarded to voicemail. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

I have replaced it with our spare console and the problem returns. That's what leads me to believe that it might be some buttons pushed. The other thing I was thinking about doing is turning the ports off and on to see if that would fix it... (that was more of a last resort). Is it possible...

We have a 2250 console with the lpk0 key staying on and lines rolling to the second line. It looks something like this: >(lpk0)<> On console 2 the lpk0 key is available when console 1 is busied out. What did they do and how do I fix it?

it appears on all the phones in the office and rings on most sets. It's intent is to be a back line to reach the office staff. I had thought of it being hard forwarded, but with making some changes, it switched vm boxes it was being sent to, adding to my confusion...
