Two Phones with the same DN? 3

[Guntha]

Hello I am new to Noretl and all PBX systems, I am Windows/network guy trying to help out on the phone side.

We have a 2 users that we would like to have share the same extension. But on two differnt phones.

we are using a Meridian Option 11. one phone is already set up, so we ran Cat5 cable to the new location and to the phone room as there was no existing wire run. I'd like to know where to punch down on the block and how do I mirror the settings for the existing phone? Do I copy the existing DN to another TN? forgive my ignorance with phones and phone lingo

Thank you

the phones are both digital 3902's

I have full access to CLI. I also just bought ProCom Plus but Hyperterminal seems so much easier (I'm used to HT for my routers and switches)

Thanks!!!

It's pretty easy; here's a step-by-step.

1) Find an unused TN:
LD 20
REQ LUVU
TYPE 3902
TN <CR>
(enter thru to end)

2) Find the existing TN with that number on it:
LD 20
REQ PRT
TYPE DNB
CUST <CR OR ZERO>
DN <THE EXTENSION YOU WANT TO COPY>
(enter thru to end)

3) Print that TN to see if you are using CLID; will need that later
LD 20
REQ PRT
TYPE TNB
TN XXX X XX XX (from above that you just printed the TNB)
Look at Key 0; it should say "SCR XXXX Y" where the "XXXX" is your DN, and the "Y" if there is one is the CLID entry

4) Copy the TN to the unused unit obtained in step 1
LD 20
REQ CPY 1
TYPE 3902
TN (enter original TN from step 2)
(enter until it says TOTN)
TOTN (enter the TN obtained in step 1 that you want to use)
DN (enter an UNUSED DN on your switch; this will change key 0)
(enter thru to end)

5) Change your Key 0 to match the other phone (refer to step 3 and match it)
LD 20
REQ CHG
TYPE 3902
TN (enter the new TN here)
ECHG YES (as long as is not an ACD phone)
ITEM KEY 0 XXX YYYY Z
where XXX is probably SCR/SCN, YYYY is the DN, and Z is the CLID entry if there was one
If MARP is turned on, it will say
MARP on XXX X XX XX where that is probably the other TN; you can just enter past this
It will probably display the name (CPND) and ask if you want to do anything, you can just enter past until you get back to the ITEM prompt
ITEM <CR>
(this should take you back to the REQ prompt)

Now you have that 3902 on both TNs, with identical keys. Hope that helps; post again if you have questions. Everyone is pretty helpful around here.

You're welcome Guntha - glad my steps instructions were clear. I was trying to remember each prompt since I wasn't at a switch to do it step-by-step...

get used to procomm for the switch.. scripts/meta keys will automate steps.. in my script to add voice mail to a 3904, alt 4 does that, paste the tn in from the copy buffer.. one click one new vm.. procomm can also auto maint procedures.. i almost never use procomm for cisco, but when i needed to upgrade 60 routers via ftp i wrote a script.. all i had to do was connect 5 routers to a hub and press start.. after each did it's write mem.. i reboxed it.. i did watch the screen since i wrote the script for the job and it was untested.. anything that requires repeated keystrokes can be automated.. example.. i had to change the ncos of 1200 stations.. i never enter as much as a tn.. the script took them off of an excel.. that file came from ld 81.. adding 1200 names at one site.. the script took about an hour, it took 2 hours to run.. and it didn't fatfinger any names
