Gathering necessary information
1. Determine whether the phone is an analog, digital, ISDN, or hybrid set.
You need this information to determine the type of port you need, because
the port type and phone type must match. If you do not know what type of
phone you have, refer to the Type field under ‘‘
Station’’ on page 882 for a
list of phones by model number.
2. Record the room location, jack number, and wire number.
You may find this information on the jack where you want to install the
phone, recorded in your system records, or from the technician responsible
for the physical installation.
3. Display the available boards (cards) and ports.
To view a list of boards on your system, type
list configuration station
and press
RETURN.
The System Configuration screen shows all the boards on your system that
are available for connecting phones. You can see the board number, board
type, circuit-pack type, and status of each board’s ports.
4. Choose an available port and record its port address.
Each port that is available or unassigned is indicated by a ‘
u.’ Choose an
available port from a board type that matches your phone type (such as a
port on an analog board for an analog phone).
Every phone must have a valid port assignment, also called a port address.
The combined board number and port number is the port address. So, if you
want to attach a phone to the 3rd port on the 01C05 board, the port address
is 01C0503 (01=cabinet, C=carrier, 05=slot, 03=port).
