Re-Programming/Re-Routing DNs

[deejflash]

Recently I added a 16-port module, however, I need to find instructions or tips on how to re-program the DNs so that I continue on last available extension. (i.e. 526 is the first available extension, but the whole range of 400 has been skipped over). Is there a way I can redirect to DNs to use the 400 range? Or how do I program the system to start the new module from the first available extension.

I know my explaination is confusing, but anyone can help I would REALLY appreciate it.

The '400' DN range is probably assigned to the B2 channel of your existing ports. One easy way to confirm this is to go to Port/DN status in Maintenance, press the DN softkey and input the DN you are searching. The system will show to which port the DN is assigned. If you see 'B1' above the middle softkey, then that DN is assigned to the B2 channel. You can do this for the DN sequence you desire.

Change DN under System Programming can be used to swap DN's around so your new ports have the numbering sequence you require. When the Change DN procedure is complete, you must exit programming to allow the system to update itself.

***IMPORTANT, plan any changes to be done here very carefully or the results may have a serious impact on your system.***

Backup your system prior to making any changes here. You can restore your database should things go bad. Also, READ all documentation dealing with Change DN so you can be properly prepared.
