16. Back up the system to a new filename to keep the first backup intact. Use a filename that
describes the post-016 MLX configuration-for example, "post-016 MLX."
Replacing a 008 MLX Module with a 016 MLX
Module
WARNING:
If you are replacing more than one 008 MLX module, repeat Steps 1-17 for each module. Do
not try to replace more than one 008 MLX module at a time, because the system
programming will be corrupted and you will need to completely reprogram the entire system
manually to restore the customer's configuration.
Follow these steps to replace a 008 MLX module with a 016 MLX module:
This procedure adds eight additional logical IDs to the system configuration, starting after
the first eight ports of the new 016 MLX module. (This occurs because you are adding
eight ports to the system for each 016 MLX module that replaces a 008 MLX module.)
The second set of eight ports on the 016 MLX module will acquire the extension numbers
from the next extension module to the right in the system. This slippage continues for the
rest of the extension modules in the system. You must do extensive station renumbering
for the extensions that follow the new 016 MLX module.
1. Back up the system programming to the customer backup card. Use a filename that describes
the pre-016 MLX configuration-for example, "pre-016 MLX."
2. Print a System Setup report. Determine whether the last slot/slots are programmed with
phantom modules. If there are phantom modules, the programming for these modules will be
removed when the new 016 MLX module is implemented.
3. If no phantom modules are programmed, go to Step 4. If there are phantom modules, print out
all the Extension Information reports for the extensions and MFMs connected to the phantom
modules. The extensions must be re-programmed after the module is implemented.
4. Print an Extension Directory report. (This report also includes phantom extension numbers.)
5. Print a Group Calling Information report.
6. Print a Group Coverage Information report.
7. Print Extension Information reports for all ports (including MFMs) on the 008 MLX module that
is being replaced.
8. Power down the system and replace the 008 MLX module with the 016 MLX module.
9. Power up the system.
