the SBX doesn't have an offline programming function
And that is a serious handicap. I have a recent out-of-town SBX install with 40 phones that is asking for a few creative programming applications. Because I am not confident how certain settings behave and/or interact, I hope to load their database into my spare 3x8 KSU for the purpose of testing the applications. But the customer has the 48 station expansion configuration with many DSS units and I only have the basic 3x8 KSU with 8 phones. I will only connect 24 button digital phones to the matching ports on the basic KSU. All other ports or devices, I trust, will simply be seen as out of service.
I hope:
1. That my basic SBX will accept the customer's database
2. That my 3x8 changes can be uploaded back into the customer's 12x48 system.
3. That there are no errors due to the different system configurations.
