IPE module

[RPMcMurphy]

I am in the process of installing a new IPE module on a nortel PBX. I am looking for the procedure in the docs and cannot find it? Anyone? I need to know the order in which to do the programming, i.e. AC system (power off, prgm the controller, etc.) Any help is much appreciated.

If it's an AC system, I would make sure that the new IPE power supply IS NOT in the IPE, disable the xsm to that column. Before you add the IPE, take off the top cap assy, disconnect the XSM in the top cap, and reroute the power connectorto the top of the last IPE in the column. The install the new IPE, connect the power and the XSM, add the power supply and the controller. In ld 97, build the new controller and supper loop, run you superloop to controller cable and download the controller, that's it.

you do not need to power cycle to add an ipe.. 1st step is to decide which controller your going to use or are you adding a new controller card? once you do that go to ld 97, prt xpe.. then chg xpe to add a new one.. once that is added you need to prt then chg supl still in 97,,

once those two are done and the cable is in plave from the front of the controller to the rear of the ipe.. enll x the loop then enxp x the xpe.. those can take almost half hour to add

I believe a cont-4 card was ordered. Is there a difference between the cont-2 and cont-4 cards? I was looking for the commands for the prgming of the xpe and supl in a step by step order. i.e., To add a IPE module do this: If one exists. Also, do I need to power down a AC column to add a 2nd cabinet? What if its a DC column?

 

[bignose21]

The difference between the cards is the CONT4 can be connected to 4 SUPL (IPE Split into 4 Segments) and the CONT2 connects to max of 2 SUPL (Shelf in 2 halves). On a DC system if you need to add the IPE shelf it will need a power down as when you disconnect the top cap the cct breakers usually trip on the pedistal.

Pretty much the proceedure has been discribed above. On a DC system make sure the cct breaker for the cube your adding is off. disable TTY 0 (SYS MON) remove the top cap add the IPE Shelf connect the power and ribbon cable to the cube below add the top cap back on. Cable the between the net and CONT cards. In 97

Turn on the PWR supply in the IPE shelf, turn on cct breaker on the pedestal. LD 32 ENLL x (SUPL), ENXP x (CONT No.)

if you pull the xms monitor you can do it power up.. it's better to power that col down if you can.. and no, the step by step has not been written, if you take time to write one down it will change prior to the next one you do.

have you decided where you are going to put the new cont? if your not 100 percent post your cequ... ld 22 prt cequ amd one of us will tell where it will fit.. in case your not sure it can not be put in any vacant slot in your core modules.. plugging it the wronge slot will take the switch down.

short steps

decide where the shelf is going 20 0, 16 1?..

decide what the next xpe is..


go to 97 and add the xpe.

in 97 add the supl

in 32 bring it up.


you can do the hardware before or after the build but prior to ld 32 commands.. you need one cable from the cont to the rear of the xpe and 16 25 pair with female amps to the frame..


here's one that tried to burm me once... two plugs on the faceplate of the cont card.. j0 and j1.. use j1 1st, it goes to shelf x 0, j0 goes to shelf x 1.. i used to reverse those to teach trouble shooting..

I appreciate all of your help. However I am still confused about the power procedure. Turn off AC, DC, system monitor?
Column power, module power?

 

[johnpoole]

if your not sure,, turn the col off.

but there is a card in the rear on the col, near the floor with 2 silver satin cords.. j5 and j6.. IF you need to remove the upper cover with the power on, pull that card out and work it hot.. ac or dc.. if you feel better working power down.. power down from the rear of that col..

there is zero dif on this proc ac or dc

John Pool, doesn't the cable go from the front of the Network Card to the rear of the IPE module and connect on the backplane? Top right position?

 

[bignose21]

Yes the bottom connector on the NET card is shelf 0 and on the back plane of the controller the top right marked up as SL0 is where you connect it if you are going to use the SUPL to run the first segment or the whole shelf.

 

[janaya]

If you are installing an AC IPE module, you better turn off the column.

If you are installing a DC IPE module you can do this by turning off the breaker for that module.

BE CAREFUL !!!!

I have MANY times added IPE mods with the power on.
First, you must remove the System Monitor (NT8D22)in the pedestal or the breaker will trip (by design)30 sec. after the top cap is removed.

But the thing to be most careful of is the AC systems use 208 to 240 volts - that can send your a$$ flying accross the room if you do something stupid. Sure, the wire harness helps make it safe but.......

BE CAREFUL !!!!

If you're not 100% sure of what you're doing, turn the breaker(s) off in the BACK of the pedestal. That will kill the entire column. AC powered units have one "double" breaker while DC units have 5 individual breakers. One for the blower and one for each module. BTW the breaker at the front of the pedestal is only for the blower.

 

[johnpoole]

as stated procede with caution.. at hosp, 911 center etc.. they don't let up powe down col very often.. i've add, maybe 50 ipe's in the last 20 years.. 90 percent power up, ac or dc.. if i can, i power down.. almost the same as replacing a normal 110 light switch, you can do it power up, but don't unless your sure and you have to

Sorry to revisit this again, my customer is ready to install the IPE cabinet. Here is the configuration, where would you suggest I install the new Net card?
