Greetings, I am an Systems Engineer turned Evangelist asked to take over computers and phones. Reading docs on Nortel MICS 5.0 that I have for my 6.0, hope that there are similar. I can't find how to add a new phone to the system. I wired it in, toned out and tested for voltage, all there. I used a known good phone. Is there a way to tell the switch to start using ext. 241?

The system should automatically recognize the phone and assign the extension number to it, if everything is wired correctly.

Try putting the phone on a jack at the backboard and see if it works there.

The 5.0 manual should be pretty close for your basic needs, such as adding a set.

Your station breakout, hook a jack up to the VioletBrown/BrownViolet pair, that eliminates the cabling. It sould just go through it's test then come right up.

Thanks, tried that. No good. Tried recycling power, NG. Tried next pair down, supposidly 242, power reset, NG.
What gives, read something about reseting extensions or template, doesn't sound nice.
The other thing is that the my 241 lines up with Blue/Purple, Purple/Blue. Cool?

I'm sorry I was thinking you where trying to fire up port 124 which is the Violet Brown pairs.

extension 241 would be your Violet Blue pairs, 242 would be your Violet Orange pairs
