You have a DVX+. The cards fit in both the DVX+ and XTS cabinets.

Yes, the IP phones are connected via an Ethernet switch. The LANB card can be configured with two, four, six or eight channels. Each one is generally good for two IP phones, but it is assumed that not all of them will be in use at the same time. I do not believe that the 12/24 port was supported by the DVX+ systems.

There are/were several versions of IP phones available. The 3813 series came with or without a pass-through LAN port (built-in switch). The later versions came with this 10/100 switch as standard.

You'll definitely want to get the manual to have a better understanding of this. The problem is, it doesn't go into any detail about IP phones and networking. You'll probably need to get an XTS manual as well and read the addendum regarding VoIP.

I got the DVX+ Mach1 manual, which doesn't seem like the same system from the pictures. But maybe the information is the same?

I also downloaded the XTS IP manuals and it has a lot of great info in it. My question is can you link multiple KSU's together to achieve more VoIP channels? From what i can tell, the MPB board can only handle so many VoIP cards.

It is definitely not the same system. It has completely different architecture, however the programming is nearly identical. There are just more features and capacities available in the DVX+.

You can link multiple XTS systems together because they support networking. You can only use IP to support IP phones with the DVX+.

Even if it was possible to link two DVX+ systems together, it would require networking software from Vertical, which I doubt that they'll be willing to supply since it was never made.

You can put more than one LANB card in your system though, as long as you don't exceed the maximum number of time slots available.

I would like to see if i am on the right track.

I installed software 4.10 today and the system would not boot (boot loop as appeared from the LED's) By flipping DIP switch 8 to ON the system flushed the existing database and resorted to factory defaults (which appears to be 2 DTIB cards and 2 LCOB cards by typing "d s" in the terminal).

So you should be able to add / remove cards from the database and assign extensions, etc... form the serial terminal correct?

RAM Block 2 and 3 also fail on startup

Yes, you can perform all aspects of programming from the terminal connection (and then some).

RAM Block 2/3 failure is normal, since they do not exist on this system. They are just included in the software.

I see,

maybe i have the wrong manual but i can't find any details about how to add / remove cards or change their port numbers. I also am not exactly sure what a time slot is, i see the term mention multiple times but i don't know exactly what it is or how many i have available.

The main processor i have is a MPB1, i see there are others such as the MPB2 and MPBE and I'm assuming they all have different time slots. The MPB2 and MPBE may only work on the XTS?

I can log into the terminal and i can use the "?" command to get some information, but not much. As far as i know there are two logins. CONFIG and ETRACE

Your system likely has 108 time slots. Each one counts as a station port, CO line port, etc. This is how the system prevents you from putting too many cards in. Just because they will fit doesn't mean that the system will support them.

I am pretty sure that you are seeing "mpbi", not "mpb1". It looks exactly the same on the card handles. No, the MPB1, MPB2 and MPBE will only work on the XTS platform.

Card slot assignments are performed in flash 24. In the manual, there is a table with the codes for each different kind of card. Be sure to reboot the system after changing these in order for them to take affect.

CONFIG and ETRACE are maintenance logins that don't permit any programming. They are just to monitor/check things in the system. You need to just get into standard system programming that is explained in great detail in the beginning pages of the programming section.

Thats makes more sense.

The manual i have skips right over FLASH 24-29. And also fails to mention how to press HOLD using a terminal (i'm using putty).

So flash 24 reports cabinet 0, but I'm assuming you can't add any more cabinets? so flash 25-29 is useless?

And why are slots 3-5 skipped? i have a extension to bring the system to 11 ports but the software reports i can have up to 16 ports.

Sorry for all of the questions.

No, there aren't any more cabinets with your system, even though there is an expansion cabinet. Makes sense, huh?

The expansion cabinet that you have just adds more slots to the base cabinet 0 in continued numerical order. Keep in mind that the system's software addressed all of the products in that family, specifically the DVX+4 that did allow up to three expansion cabinets. It is confusing.

What you have is a DVX+2. The only difference between it and the DVX+3 is the number of slots in the main cabinet. Why they chose to skip slot numbers 3-5 was to keep the slot numbering for the MPB and MISB the same for both. Again, more confusion.

Flash 25-29 don't exist, hence the reason that they are not there. I'm not sure why flash 24 doesn't exist in your manual though.

Interesting,

So if you were to buy a dvx+3 or dvx+4 KSU, could you swap all of the card from the dvx+2 into them and boot it up just like normal (considering you used the same slot numbers).
