What's up Folks?? Is there a resource out there that I can get some questions answered in regard to this tel system? I'm trying to get this system programmed and have more questions than answers. I'm starting to feel real stupid because this system is a bitch. Example; What is the Inmail Pilot Number? And how are you supposed to know what port #'s to assign to Inmail? There are eight options for port numbers. Is my frustration coming through? Thanks in advance!!!!

NEC has a site for the SL1100(www.necSL1100.com). On the home page, Product Information tab there is a selection for resources. On that page there are a number of video tutorials - as well as a link to register for documentation and technical support from NTAC.

I am just getting ready to get my first system, so I don't have hands on, but it looks to program very similar to UX5000 or SV8100 if you have experience with either of those. It seems to be a very scaled down version of the aforementioned systems.

If I had to guess - I would say try 700 as the Inmail pilot number. And use the last ports available on the system as the port #s. Just a guess - good luck, I hope it goes well.

Remember, all this simple technology and extremely high pay is why we all got into this business - not to mention the patient customers. :rofl:

Typical setup:

Stations:1xx

vm pilot: 200, vm extensions 201-204

Inmail ports: highest ports you are licensed for. (if you have a 48 port license then use ports 44-48 for your 4 inmail ports).

7xx and 6xx are your access codes by default unless you change them ALL.


The setup can be a little frustrating at first, but once you get used to it you'll love it. I think it took me 6 or 7 installs to get used to the setup.

The biggest piece of advice I can give for SL/8100 is to delete ALL of the prebuilt stations and repopulate the ksu with fresh numbers. It is so frustrating to guess at what numbers that are programmed in the system are actually in use. If you delete ALL of the numbers in 11-02 and 11-04 and just enter numbers for the cards you assign, then there is no guessing later.

Did you do the certification exam?

Use PC Pro/ Intuition mode to set up VM. The online training session recommends using 3999 as the pilot number and department group 32.
FYI, when using Intuition mode, the last 16 ports on the system will be set aside as vm ports, even though you may be using only 4.
Yea, this thing can be a bear, and it has enough quirks to drive you too drink. Hopefully, NEC will iron things out with upgrades. I was told by a rep at NEC that the 1100 was rushed out due to production issues with the DSX.
In the end though, this should be a sweet little system once you get the hang of it.
