There is an existing T24 KIM unit attached to ext 266 that has been working fine for a long time. Customer wants to add another KIM to ext 282, which I did. The programming in the BCM says there is no KIM assigned to ext 266. The keys all have eternal dial numbers on them. I tried copying from ext 266 to 282 and got nothing.
If I assign a KIM to 266 (which already has keys programmed), will I loose what's on the KIM? Or should I assign KIM 1 to ext 282? Or just take the time and F*1 and put in each external dial number?
Thank you.

Best to always assign the at least the first CAP/KIM on a set when it is installed, also lets you move lines to it. | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,318 Member | OP Member Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,318 | I suppose the original KIM was never assigned and just had external keys programmed onto it? Is the only thing missing by doing it that way, is that you can't add a line key? And can't copy to another set?

KIM and eKIM
The eKIM can have line appearances, Target Lines, and Hunt Group appearances.
If CON is the opposite of PRO Then what is the opposite of Progress?

In CAP Assignment section: If you don't assign the KIM then it is in Ordinary KIM mode (OKIM) If you do assign a KIM then it is now in Enhanced KIM mode (eKIM)
BEM Warning in CAP Assignment - when assigning a DN: "If the CAP/KIM set is changed, the new set and old set will reset when the session is closed" I am guessing this means if you remove a KIM/CAP from one set and install it to the new set you assigned, this would then not apply to you if I read right as you are not relocating.
I would assign only the new set in CAP Assignment, then try the copy from old to new (via BEM and not telset), if it takes then proceed to assign a CAP/KIM to the original DN.
This is really for a reception or backup reception set that has a lot of lines when it comes to T series phones, for IP sets it's almost a must since they have only 2, 4 or 6 buttons on the phone models.

But I couldn't copy from the original KIM to the new one. Even after assigning each of them to an extension. So I just did each key individually on the new one. From the BEM. Done.
Thanks for all the help. Jim | | | Forums93 Topics94,342 Posts639,398 Members49,445 | Most Online5,661 May 23rd, 2018 | |
