Sell it and buy them a little Partner!!

how about 'list conf all'

Try to 'test board 01A....'

You might be better off with a Partner. To be honest you can't leagally move a definity from one company to another without purchasing the RTU. So you not doing the chuch any favors by intsalling that G3 there.

WOrking on RTU, also if i did get the partner what would be the best setup ? at the most 20 phones would be used and a few analog devices such as fax or modem.and where is the best place to sell the G3 ?

thanks
Bruce

The RTU is going to cost you a boatload of money. Avaya is going to first force you to upgrade to CM4.X or CM5.0. The cost is going to be more then what it would cost to buy new. Really all you have there is a pile of parts. You don't have the Right to Use the software. Just like you can't take your copy of windows XP and install it on multiple PC's. The same applies here. You might get a few dollars on Ebay for your G3V4. But really, that's dead technology.

The old G3 isn't really worth much any more. They are all over including Ebay.

You are probably not seeing the trunks, because it doesn't have any assigned. You can do a "list con all" like Dave said, or "li con carr or board 1a" and see the co trunk pack. The lines you have coming in can be used as CO trunks. They are more than likely just POTS lines. Set them up as ground start, and they should work.
