Activate 2008 with Unknown TN

[echang2]

Hi,

I have a 2008 that I need to activate. I don't know what the TN is otherwise, I'd be all set. I also don't have any phone testing equipment. Is there a way to find out what the TN is? Or is there another way to program the phone?

no without a tone, or at least a jack number your out of luck. you can list luvu but that will just show you vacant tn's, the switch has no record of the jumper field

Do you know the DN of the 2008?? If so print the DNB to get the TNB in LD 20.

 

[echang2]

Unfortunately, I don't know the DN. The DN that's on the label isn't activated.

 

[acewarlock]

When you say a the DN isn't activated, do you mean when you do a
LD 20
REQ PRT
TYPE DNB
DN xxxx (DN on phone label)

It doesn't prt anything?

 

[echang2]

It prints NO ACT SINCE NO DATE. When I pick up the phone there's nothing. When I call the DN it says release and try again.

Then your going to have to do it the old fashion way.
You can look to see if the jack has a number on it and trace it to the IDF an then trace it to the MDF and that should give you the TN. Or use a toner and tracer.

Short the jack out,Then stat system for disable TNS on the switch..

 

[johnpoole]

the tn will be disu in the switch without a short, if it's programed, a short will not be seen by the switch if it's not. you could do a ldis in load 32 to see if it's just disabled. if the lights flash one time when you plug it in, then it is on a tn, if it flashes forever your on a analog tn of line..
