Get TN without toning the line? Steve 07-11-07

We just moved into a temporary space and I need to configure one of
the phones. As this move was done quickly, in the wee hours, we don't
have a good map of TNs to phones. Is there a way I can determine the
TN for an unassigned phone from the phone without toning the line back
to the switch? Is there some secret code I can push on the keypad?

The system is an Option11C with M3904 phones.

This is a little round-about but it will get you the TN. First, call
another display phone to determine it's DN (assuming the key on the M-3904
doesn't carry the DN, of course!) Then print the DNB for that DN - you'll
get a list of all the TNs and key numbers on which that DN appears. That
should make clear what TN you're dealing with. Doing this there's confusion
only if there are two (or more) identical sets. And if there are two or
more such sets just disable the specified TNs one by one until your "target"
one of them set goes dead.

Old DanRay systems had the feature you asked for but, when Nortel bought
DanRay and put it to sleep, that was one of the features that didn't
survive!

Rather than using the process of elimination by disabling TNs you can
also use the TRAC command in LD 80 to identify the TN. Once you know
the DN, make a call from that phone and in LD 80 type TRAC 0 DN.
(Assuming 0 is your customer number.) This will show you the active
call information including the originating and terminating TN.

Does the phone work, or is it just showing the time?

In LD 20 Do

LDIS 0
LDIS 1
LDIS 2

This will show the disabled phones in each cabinet.

I got it to work once I forced every disabled port on every card to
try to re-enable itself. From there, an extension showed up. After
that, it was easy. Oh, how I hate the arcane management interfaces of
this phone system.
