MICS Dead After Installation

[Thomson66]

I purchased a MICS system piece by piece off eBay and recently mounted it all together on a board. None of the internal lines seem to power-up my phone (T7208). (I was assuming that after powering-up a "bare bones" MICS system, the phones wouldn't work, but they should power-up.)

I was wondering if there is a certain port I need to configure the system from first, or if the MICS unit might not be booting due to NVRAM/Software issue, or something else... no indicator lights.

My bare-bone system is...
-MICS 0x32 with power supply
-NVRAM NTBB08GA-93 0009 Rel 02
-Software NA-MICS-DR 7.1 FC
-Integrated cables with NYNEX SNI-8925 termination blocks that terminate directly to terminal screws with RJ11 style test patch ports. I plugged the phone into these test ports.

My thoughts are...
-need to configure from a special line port.
-NVRAM/Software pair is incompatible and won't boot.
-integrated cables with centronixs plugs on both ends has wrong internal wiring to termination blocks (haven't checked yet).
-Need trunk lines installed to bring system up.

Any suggestions on diagnosing would be appreciated.

Hi All,

Finally got my MICS to boot 7.1. I had to drain the internal capacitor.

Thanks all for your help!
