In that case, I'll probably attempt to do it myself. I'm a competent, low cost, and fast computer geek, but not a millionaire, at least not yet.

The voice mail is a Datalabs unit, hang on the wall type, with four ports (expandable to 8, but we only need 4).

I think I'm tracking with most of the info except where to physically connect the VM unit. Would 008-011 normally be occupied? If mine are numbered correctly, then 008-011 are going out as phone terminals 16-19.

hmmm... or... am I confused, would the physical number on the board mean that is actually the port number from the DK unit? I guess the simple way to put that is, if the line circuit is marked 008 does that mean it is on station port 008?

The wiring from the base unit appears to feed circuits between 000-007 and the wiring from the expansion side feeds 008 up. (We have the base plus four KCDU in the expansion.)

I understand regarding slot 00 and slot 13 for the two new PCBs.

So, I know where to put the KSTU and the K5RCU and I think I can handle the programming. I just need a better handle on the ports and where to connect the VM unit.

Thank you,

They come out on the amp plug from the base unit. You need to connect your voice mail to those four pairs.
I do have to say that I think you are making a mistake in not hiring a pro. And make sure you have a bottle of whiskey on hand. You are going to want it about a third of the way through the install.

I'm proceeding cautiously. I'll call a pro if needed. It's getting clearer. If I can properly indentify everything, I don't think I'll have too much trouble.

I found pair 19; it has a maintenance jack/port attached to it.

There are four more pairs beyond 19 that are not connected to anything and their label is not readable. That's confusing... 21,23,25 and ?

Thanks,

Oy!

There is an amphenol 25 pair cable coming out of the main unit. Pairs 19, 21. 23 and 25 will be live single line ports after you put the KCDU2 card in and program it to be recognized in program 03.

Restart the system by turning the power off for five seconds then back on again. Put your buttset or jack on 19 and see if you have dial tone.

If so, program ports 008*011 in program 31 and you will have voicemail ports ready to plug into the voicemail. If you have extensions in the expansion cabinet now, their port number and extension number will go up by four after the system recognizes the KSTU2 card.

Programming the voice mail is up to you, its one I've never even heard of, good luck.

And if you have a jack attached to pair 19 now and it works, you already have a KSTU in the system and if you can dial on touchtone, you already have a K5RCU or K4RCU. Good luck, you can't destroy anything but you can frustrate yourself or do good.

Also, if you don't already have the KSTU, the digital ports on the KCDU's probably start at ext. 18 (port 008). When you put in the KSTU, the system will renumber the ports so the KCDU's will start at ext. 22 instead of 18.

The pairs you use on the amphenol cable are:
Ext. 18 (port 008) Pair 19 yellow/brown
Ext. 19 (port 009) Pair 21 violet/blue
Ext. 20 (port 010) Pair 23 violet/green
Ext. 21 (port 011) Pair 25 violet/slate

If your system uses an express cable (2 RCA plugs and 5 RJ-11 plugs coming out of the amphenol) then the analog ports will be elsewhere, I think pairs 10-13? Just start plugging your buttset onto unused pairs until you find dialtone.

By golly oh golly junkman you've got your thinking cap on, I hadn't thought of seeing if there was an extension 18 working. And the express cable? You're as sharp as those needles I play with, good going.

I'm dieing for the K5RC to arrive so I can start this thing, it's due the 20th...

There definitely is not a KSTU or K5RC currently in the cabinet. I don't see an express cable, just one bundle going to a block.

The way the cables are connected to the blocks does not seem logical to me, but I don't expect any trouble finding the analog pairs even if I have to hunt for them.

Thanks!

Thanks breed, I'll keep the number handy.

The K5 board just arrived, but I'm waiting until tomorrow to begin installion. I'm still preparing. I found a wiring diagram in the DK manual that has helped. I'm 99% sure where each pair comes and goes.

The left side of the block is exactly as in the DK manual, so I know where 19, 21, 23 and 25 are, at least where they should be when I probe for the analog lines.

The right side of the block the installer used for the KCDU expanders. We have 3 KCDU, but it's wired for 4... and he skipped some spaces so the wiring for the 4th expander is down in the range where the analog ports would be if you put on the bridge clips.

So... I could remove the last pair and put on the bridge clips and my analog pairs should go hot on the right side or... just simply punch the analog pairs on the left side and that should do it.

I'm very confident now about the wiring. I'll put it to the test tomorrow.

Thanks.

Just put the pairs on the left side of the block, you can always repunch the wire. Remember that in 03 port 00 will be 98 and port 13 will be 31.

Recycle your power after programming 03 and you should have single lines working.

Good luck, Bunnie
