NEC DSX-80/160 Expansion
NEC DSX-80/160 Expansion
(OP)
I have an NEC DSX-80/160 that I have inherited supporting. My experience in the past is with Nortel CICS and CallPilot.
This system currently has a 16-port station card (16 ESIU)in slot 1 and an 8-port CO Card (8 COIU)in slot 3.
There are open slots in the cabinet. I use DSK System Administrator 3 to manage the system.
I need to add station ports, as all 16 are in use. It appears that the original installer planned for another card, since the 66-block for the stations is numbered as though it were installed.
My questions:
1. Are there any licensing concerns with adding a station card?
2. If I power down the system and add the card, will it automatically be detected?
3. What questions should I be asking that I am too ignorant of this system to know?
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

2. absolutely get a back up copy of the database before shutting down. The card should be recognized.
3. good luck finding a good working card. The system was discontinued many years ago.

I installed it, then went in software and configured as 16EISU.
Connected new extension 316 to it. The phone lights up and shows the name I assigned, but none of the buttons work and it doesn't show the soft features of the extension (310) I copied from.
Also, when the new extension first came up, it said Out of Service Maintenance Mode. Rebooted it a couple of times and it came up with the display above, again, not working, though.
I appreciate any help you can offer with troubleshooting and resolving this!
Thanks!
