S08 Module 9.1 1

[liquidshokk]

I recently upgraded our system to 9.1, which includes a grey S08 module which I was assured would still work, however the unit was greyed out durinbg upgrade and afterwards it no longer worked. Our disti says the file nas0-16.bin should be in the manager folder but its not there, anyone else had this problem? Avaya documentation says only the white S08 modules are unsupported as of 9.1...

Surely the ready made thing must be available somewhere?!

 

[amriddle01]

Yes from Avaya, but you certainly pay over the odds

 

[liquidshokk]

Our disti doesn't sell them and doesn't appear on their Avaya Price list. Only need one so happy to pay for it

I could send you one depends on your location, if it is at the other end of the globe it won't be worth it.
You could also go to a local electronic components store and buy two 100 ohm resistors and build your own terminator:

I'm in sunny U.K

We think there may already be one at the server end so I'm getting this investigated but thanks. On this basis I think it should have worked as I set it up (PC modem card patched into 2nd BRI port which was set to S-BUS, first connected to ISDN line and both in same line group) but it didnt....

The green LED should light up immediately if you plug the modem in. Does it? If not check the cabling. Perhaps you didn't cros RX/TX?

I always use the original AVAYA S-Bus Connectors.
Why, you ask?
Because with this adapter you can easily see, this port is S-Bus and not trunk. And you will not have any problem like bad connection with self-made cables.
But probably the most important reason is: It's not worth to find and try the alternatives. Please calculate your own time as well as extra cost for ordering from another source, ports etc. as well.
It's not worth the hassle. I mean, since they are available, I did not use 20 pieces...

The Adapter does just three things.
1. Add 100 Ohm resistors
2. Reverse RX TX
3. Mark the port visually as S-Bus

It does not add power to the S-Bus. This is the difference to the S08 module. But it does not matter if it is for a modem or other self powered (active) devise.

@liquidshokk:
What do you mean when you say "we use it heavily for customer dial ups"?

To remotely support the IPO?
If you connect a ISDN trunk, then you can dial-up directly. No S-Bus modem needed.

But now as public ISDN is fading away, VPN should be used.

Hi Albus2

We have a large directory of dial ups on a server, which has a modem connected. We then connect this to the S08 normally to get a line out. We want to upgrade to 9.1 so need to move away from the S08 module, but connecting the server to the 2nd BRI port and changing it to S-BUS doesn't allow us to dial out.

I also have a number of dial-ups on isdn (2000+)

We simply configure services on an internal IPO & use it as a router.


A Maintenance contract is essential, not a Luxury.
Do things on the cheap & it will cost you dear

@liquidshokk:

Aha, you are a business partner and you use this for dial up to your customers IPO's.
If there is a ISDN line attached to the IPO and your customer also have ISDN, then there is no need for a ISDN modem. Just use IPO's RAS service. And routing.
I guess, IPGuru is doing this.

In a few years, there will be no ISDN anymore. At least here. We need to switch to oter solutions.
