As you look at the "front" of an R7 or R8 processor, you'll see the 2 slots for PCMCIA cards.

Below them is the processor status LED.

Below that is the SMDR port.

Below that is the Admin port.

If none of them have that arrangement, you're looking at some other type of Partner processor.

As Mike mentioned, pressing "FEATURE 59" on any system telephone with a display will tell you exactly what revision a processor is.

pg 20 of the ACS manual

Geeze, I can't stand it! The admin port on the ACS R7&8 never was used. It goes nowhere and does nothing! That's why you will find nothing in the documentation (notice that there is no call-out for it in the above illustration). Only way to remote administer is through a modem and PC admin software.

Sure it is,........it is used to admin the system with the GUI interface.
I think you may be talking about the Ethernet port. The one above the CC port.

Yeah, I think you are right Mike. Documentation only alludes to "PC programming" though, no specifics are given. I never used it, only the remote. Doesn't matter anyway because if the OP doesn't have an ADMIN port then he doesn't have an R7 or 8. He will have to connect (call into it) via a modem, PC admin software and a RAC card.

Mike (Mdaniel) is correct in what he is telling you.
If you would like a call from Avaya, to clarify the same, I am sure that could be arranged.

PS. Great post Skip

I would like to thank all of you who have posted here to help me with my issues.

After another close inspection, and "FEATURE 59", it turns out we have R6 systems, which explains my confusion.

Thankz again,

I only saw one attitude.

Mike thanks for your patience and knowledge and the willingness to share that knowledge even when insulted.

Thanks to everyone for trying to assist the OP.

Feature 59 can be your friend!
