Sorry, I stand corrected. I must have been experiencing brain trauma when I read his post.

Ringtone - When you default the switch, make sure the Smart Media card is NOT in place, otherwise it will load whatever default.dat file is stored on it.

After you default initialize, then go to Smart Media, Forced Format, make whatever programming changes you want, then back it up.

Good Luck. If you have any more questions, you know where to go............come.............find us............ :bang:

I guess thinking about it, I shouldn't be too quick to say default the system. Just easier to me to start over, then undoing a lot of programming that doesn't need to be there, and may cause problems in some cases.

You could still make a backup of current config onto Smart Media (then to Admin PC if you want) so you won't lose anything. To bring back old config. just put the SM card in, initiallize, and you're back up and running.

I have put in a couple of basic systems that I basically turned it on, set the time/date, and was done. The default setting will get all lines ringing all phone, but it won't have voicemail setup, Caller ID won't work, exts start at 200 on up, phone buttons blank except for lines. Other problem would be if you had more ports then linenses (32 lines/exts out of the box).

Good luck Ringtone which ever way you go.

Any ideas on how to interface my old Sanbar 4200 CO line cards instead of buying RCOU/RCOS cards? And where do I put the interrupter, there is no slot for it?

(grin)

Using the default worked great. I had a little trouble initializing my system with the default program. It was easier to start the initializing process from a phone rather than webadmin. Now all my phones ring and have access to all the phone lines.

Now I have two new questions:

1. When I start to dial, there is a delay before the phone dials. Any idea how to erase the delay?

2. Tomorrow my caller id card arrives. I hope someone will be nice enough to describe the setup process. This is not my business, but I am a quick learner, especially when it come to technology.

Thanks for all your help.

Well ringtone, you go straight to the head of the class. You get an A for effort, an A for performance, and an A for asking questions (not common among the male species.)

But will you get an F on the next question?

Do you have an RSIS1A caller ID card?

If so, then double jumper the cords going into the RCOU card over to the RSIS1A card.

Under Trunks, go to Caller ID.

You have the admin software, so it will be a snap.

Unless of course, I have correctly guessed that you do not have an RSIS1A in which case you are stopped dead cold in your tracks and your Caller ID will not work until you get one, AAHHHHAH.

(I'm a real bitch when I've been drinking a bunch of wine but I can still do analysis better drunk than most people can sober.)

Tipsy, smug ass Bunnie signing off.

Bunnie - Well you missed the analysis boat on this one. Stop drinking and think about what you are saying. The RSIS is a serial interface sub-assembly that piggy backs on the RSIU for the DK424.....No Caller ID There!

Ringtone -- You want an RCIU card for the first 4 trunks and an RCIS for the lines 5-8.

OK, I'm sober tonight. Yes of course it is a RCIU and you only need that because the system only has 4 lines on the RCOU card.

The analysis was OK, I got one little letter wrong, but as they say, close only counts in horse shoe throwing.

Your CID programming is under Advanced Programming, Trunks. Sorry about my sorry old S.

Thank you Bunnie and Voyager. I suspected a letter was wrong. The analysis sounds good. Hopefully I will have time to set up the caller-id later. Many people have mentioned that only phones that ring can get caller-id. Is this true? What happens if the phone is set to ring, but the phone is on do-not-disturb?

I do still have that slightly annoying dialing delay. Any ideas?

The caller id card is in and working. As you must know, I went into Caller-id assignments to insert the signaling method of class and the class equipment number. Although the caller id is working, there is a long delay before the phone starts ringing of about 2 rings. Is it possible to have the caller-id work without a ring delay?

Thank you,
John

If there is, I've never found it. It always starts on the second ring when caller ID is enabled, waiting for the caller ID information. The Caller ID info is sent between the first and second ring.

At least the phones ring. I upgraded a system to 2.22 something, and all phones stopped ringing. Tech support said that will caller ID, trunks had to DIT somewhere.

Glad you got it working. Just one more note. You can put a caller ID history button on the phones, but you have to put in max history in the Station Assignments, and the history will only show the calls that were picked up by that phone, unless you assign a line owner.
