Disabling Phantom DN?
Disabling Phantom DN?
(OP)
Hi all,
I am very new to the Nortel PBX system and am having to learn it. I am working on a project to replace all of the old phones and moving to a new Cisco system. Because the place I work at is huge and has so many phones, I am having to disable TNs in order to find where the phones are located. I am running across Phantom TN's now and I want to try to disable them to see if they are still in use/see who still uses them. Is there a way to disable a Phantom DN? I've tried in LD 20, but it just errors out when I try to disable it. I've read in some places the maybe LD 96 will allow you to do it? Thanks in advance for any information/help you can provide!

What I used to do was to change the DN by just adding an extra digit or changing the leading digit to a single digit that's spare on your phone system.
In LD 20
REQ: PRT
TYPE LUDN
DN ( press enter or add in any leading digits to check)
Press enter again.

When people left the company or mailbox options were changed, the TN's and DN's were often forgotten about.
Use the attached file and produce a snapshot of your phone system in excel format and this might be an easier way to know what was configured.

LD 20

TN <l s c u>
ECHG yes
ITEM ftr dcfw xx yyyyyyyy
xx = number of digits yyyyy=destination
for moving sets to the Cisco how are the systems connected, if its with a TIE trunk etc. you can either
remove the station add DSC/TSC for each extension as you move it
or you could enable Vacant Number Routing (VNR) which sends any number not on the CS1K to an RLI you put against VNR and point that to the cisco
or if you use Numberzones you can add in ZFDP which falls below DN Tree so say ZFDP says 2xxx goes to cisco and 2000 exists on the Cs1K the extension rings, when it is removed it will route to cisco with the ZFDP match.
