atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums TDM Business Telephone Systems Toshiba Telephones & Systems Adding new phones to DK280 system.

I'm trying to add (2) extensions to an existing DK280 system. I ordered a programming manual through this site but my time to get this resolved is running out. I'm an IT person by trade so I'm a little bit out of my area of expertise. I have some experience (ie: don't connect the phone wires to the outlet where a person might plug in a toaster, and the like) so I gave it a try.

This is what I've learned:

1. My customer is using less than 23 lines (I forget the actual number) so I believe there should be room for (2) more extensions.

2. I found the proper phone and extension to enter the programming mode and actually tried, successfully, a few commands to view assigned extensions. I did not change anything however.

3. I think I found the proper spot on the 66 terminal block based on the pattern the other lines are laid out. When I connect a phone to my new connection I get nothing on the display and no dial tone (of course).

4. These are not the only things I learned but the other things are too painful to admit if I am expected to get out from under the covers sometime this week and finish this job.

This seems like it should be a straightforward task even though I realize this is a complex system for a neophyte.

If I am just making something out of nothing any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Dk280 extensions are provisioned in increments of 8 and the co lines in 4"s and piggy backed to 8 ' s

I would suggest you engage a local Toshiba installed to complete this install .

If you have a DSS working you have no free ext and need to add a card, this will be a funtion of slots,software etc.

In any case welcome to the forums.

Um...

"If you have a DSS working..."

Are you asking me or telling me?

I was hoping to get this resolved <em>and</em> learn something at the same time.

I'm more than willing to pay someone to walk me through this.

Teach a man to fish, etc...

Thanks for the fast response.

Your welcome.

You have to tell us how many PDKU cards you have in the cabinet. each card as you've been told is 8 ports. If you co to comand 04 and dial 023 its will tell you what Ext.#, if any, on that port. If you are using PKT telephone you would need to pair hook up, if DKT then one pair.

Whats comand 04 ??

This is the inventory from the purchase agreement:

(1)DKSUB280
(1)RCTUA3A-1SW
(2)PDKU
(1)RDSU
(1)RRCS4
(2)RCOU
(1)RCOS
(1)PIOU

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Based on your post you have 20 digital stations
and a full cabinet.
You can replace the RDSU with a pdku and will
go to 24 stations .
You can also remove the PIOU and add 8- more stations.
The rdsu has 2 co lines on it ,but you can add
a 4- co rcos to the second rcou.

Beyond that you need a second cabinet and new software.

I spoke with Kevin today and he ordered what he needed. It felt good to take care of him.......
