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...

I am pretty certain that when i read the release notes it stated that So8 modules are not supported at all.

the off-line configuration wizard does not make one available which tends to confirm things

Hmmm... Disti was pretty confident that the IP500 versions should be ok... Can understand them not being supported but they shouldn't stop them working altogether... Especially as there isn't any alternative that I know of and we use it heavily for customer dial ups...

BRI4 cards set to S Bus is what we use

I believe support for the S08 was already ditched in 8.0 but I am not very sure.

BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

The S08 works upto R9.0 for sure not on 9.1.

 

[tlpeter]

Yes I was wrong. This is what the tech bulletin says of 9.1:

Note: IP Office Release 9.1 will no longer support the following legacy IP 400
modules:
 Phone 8/16/30
 DS 16/30
 DIGITAL S0x8 and DIGITAL S0x16
 Extension/VCM Carrier

BAZINGA!

Going to shoot the person that told me it would work if it was grey ;-)

Don't trust anyone else except yourself. Try to get all the relevant information from official Avaya docs and not from distributor. It will be not their bill to pay if you spend hours to find out something will not work.

 

[amriddle01]

Has anyone tried outing a BRI card in a US system? If it works (can't see why not) you can just use those for modems etc

 

[liquidshokk]

amriddle01 I have moved the pc connection from the s08 module to the 2nd of 2 BRI ports on the IP500 BRI card but I cant connect to customers systems, is there something i'm missing? I'm guessing only the 2nd BRI card needs to be set to S-BUS if using the first for backup to SIP lines? Both need to be same line ID right?

 

[amriddle01]

You need a S Bus adaptor to make it work, the Avaya ones are pricey (3 or 4 times the price) and are just standard Molex S Bus adaptors with a reversal in and an Avaya sticker on

Also it needs it's own outgoing line ID or it will be used along with other lines, incoming line ID doesn't matter as it's treated as a handset making calls as oppose to a trunk i.e it matches what your modem dials against system shortcodes

 

[liquidshokk]

No one seems to have those adapters amriddle01!

Is this the same thing?

[amriddle01]

Could be OK, but you can just make your own. Just take a Cat 5 module/jack, a patch lead cut in half and 2x 100ohm resistors, punch the resistors down over pins 3 + 6 and 4 + 5 and then punch down the patch lead on top putting a reversal in on the pins mentioned (blues and greens)

 

[amriddle01]

I would use this one

but whichever one you get you will still need to cut the plug off and re-crimp with the reversal in, I always have had to anyway

 

[intrigrant]

We use these, cheap and compact

 

[derfloh]

But that one doesn't cross RX/TX?

 

[intrigrant]

No, I haven't found any ISDN terminator with crossed pairs since ISDN was released here in the 80's (yes I am that old)

 

[amriddle01]

You could do the reversal with a custom lead
