Meridian Option 11 Programming Manualby Nikola Stojanoski on Sep 21st, 2012 · 4 Comments

This is a short introduction into programming a Meridian Option 11 PBX. I needed to program an old Nortel Meridian Option 11 PBX for a client that was not ready for a PBX upgrade.

The Meridian PBX’s software divides information into LOADS. Each Load has a specific function. For example, LD 20 is where you can print information about phones. The loads range from LD 01 – LD 143.

How to HyperTerminal into the PBX and VOICEMAIL Systems.

1. Launch HyperTerminal2. Set phone number to your modem dialin number3. Set terminal emulation to VT102 X Modem4. Dial… it should end up at a blank HyperTerminal window5. Type the password to access the PBX modem. This will not show up on the

screen when you type it. The screen should now display “Ok”. You are now transparent to port 1

6. Type “logi” to login, then the password.7. You should now have a > command prompt.

To go from PBX commands to VOICEMAIL (in Hyperterminal):

1. Go to “File”, “Properties”, “Settings” and set the terminal emulation to VT100.2. At the >, type “AX”3. Hit “F1” to bring up the command bar at the bottom.4. Hit “F1” again to Logon To go from VOICEMAIL back to PBX (in

Hyperterminal)

1. EXIT all the way out of VOICEMAIL, back to where F1 says “logon” (lower left button)

2. Go to “File”, “Properties”, “Settings” and set the terminal emulation to VT52.3. hit “Ctrl ]” TO EXIT IMPORTANT – Do NOT exit HyperTerminal until you

have logged out of BOTH the VOICEMAIL and PBX Command System (“logo” is the PBX logout command)

Basic commands

LOGI = LOG IN LOGO = LOG OUT **** = TO CLOSE LOAD ** = RETURN TO REQ PROMPT ERR SCHXXXX = Explanation of error code ( ovl…sch…) DNB = DIRECTORY NUMBER (DN) a.k.a. phone extension ex: 2300 TNB = TERMINAL NUMBER (TN) (port number on the switch) = i.e. 24 00 02 05 – 24=Loop 00=Shelf 02=Card 05=Unit

*Please note: Enter “spaces” between the numbers:CUST: Customer number (almost always “0″ unless you have more then one customer set up)

Short Cut’s For Option 11′s:

When entering the “TN” information you don’t have to insert all the 0′s. For example, 09 00 00 02 would only be 9 2.

Logging in:

Be carful not to log in more than 3 time incorrectly, If you see OVL400 this means you are locked out for up to 45 Minutes. You should see this when you press return:

“>” or “OVL000″

Then press ‘Return’ then type “LOGI”. Then you should see “PASS”. Type “your password”.

LD 02 (CHANGE HOUR) Setting Time and Date

To set the time and date of your system you program in load 2:Step 1) LD 02Step 2) STAD “Day Month Year Hour Minute Second” i.e. STAD “24 11 1976 15 41 49″ = November 24th 1976 3:41pm 49 seconds”To test it… Type: “TTAD” – (this tests time and date)

Commands

Print system number TSID = print system numberLD 20 CHG = CHANGE ex: Key 00NUL = Erase config on that key

CPY 1= COPYDISU = DISABLE UNITDISC = DISABLE CARDDISS = DISABLE SHELFDISL = DISABLE LOOPENLU = ENABLE UNITENLC = ENABLE CARDENLL = ENABLE LOOPENLS = ENABLE SHELFNEW = ADD PHONEOUT = REMOVE PHONEPRT = PRINTSTAT = STATUSIDU = TYPE OF PHONE ( use to ping a phone)LUDN = LIST UNUSEDDN EX: LD 11-PRT-LUDN-CUST =0LUVU = LIST UNUSED TN TYPE2000=DIGITAL500=ANALOG

Printing a Phone

LD 11 REQ:PRT TYPE:DNB CUST: 0 DN: i.e. 6666 Then press enter until it begins to auto scroll.

This will give you the Phone “Type” i.e. 2616 and the TN i.e. “12 00 05 00″ Then type: REQ:PRT TYPE:(Phone type)or (“TNB”) Valid phone types 2xxx -

You may enter: 2000,2003,2006,2008,2009,2016,2018,2112,2216,2317,or 2616 3xxx -For Taurus sets (Release 24 Later) 3901,3902,3903,3904, or 3905

TN: This is where you put the TN info you printed above. example:”12 00 05 00″ Then “enter through”

Moving a Telephone

To move a Telephones between exsiting location:

 LD 10 for Analog LD 11 for Digital LD 20 (for Rls 19 and above) REQ: MOV TYPE: (Phone Type) TN: (Terminal Number) TOTN: (To new TN

Number) Then Enter Through…

Here is an Example:

Thelma X5000 TN 12 0 0 0 TYPE: 2008 Louise X5001 TN 12 0 0 1 TYPE: 2616 Find and empty Digital Tn that is not programmed (i.e.12 0 0 10) Then In LD 20

do a: REQ: MOV TYPE: 2616 TN: 12 0 0 1 TOTN: 12 0 0 10 then Enter through..

Now Louise is in limbo right now… ..then do a REQ: MOV TYPE: 2008 TN: 12 0 0 0 TOTN: 12 0 0 1 Then Enter

Through… now Thelma is moved to where Louise was… Then do REQ: MOV TYPE: 2616 TN: 12 0 0 10 TOTN: 12 0 0 0 Then Enter

Through.. You now Successfully Swapped Thelma and Louise’s places without having to

change any wiring. Now just swap their Physical telephones places.

MIC MAK Key xx MIC

To check message light on a phone :Key xx MCK

Deleting a telephone In LD 11

Do a: REQ: OUT TYPE: (Type of phone you are outing) TN: (The TN of the phone you are outing) Then Return Through.

You should change to match the telephone’s NCOS7. DNSZ: 4-(16)-31 – This is the maximum amount of Digits allowed for each

Speed call list.8. SIZE: 1-1000 – Maximum Telephone #’s allowed per List9. WRT (YES) NO – This tells the PBX to back it up in the “Data Store”10. STOR xxx yyy…y – xxx- the position in the list Yyy-yyyy is the telephone

number-*Remember to program a “9” if you use it to dial out with. Ex. 01 9,1-800-555-1212

1. Complete section 1.2. Log into overlay 143.3. Type XBK and press , then press .4. At the prompt R>, you have to start the file transfer procedure.5. Select the ‘Receive File’ option and make sure that the protocol is set to X

MODEM then select Receive.6. Create a new file name (Customer name and date) for the information to be

received in and select OK.

7. After a few seconds the process will begin and ‘packets’ will start to be sent (the whole process can take several minutes).

8. Once the file transfer has finished the OPT 11 will respond with OK. This next step is to verify the file.

This process should never be missed as it can result in corrupted software!

1. Type XVR and press , then again.2. At the prompt R> select ‘Send File’ option.3. Open the file you have just saved and select send.4. After a few seconds, the process will begin and ‘packets’ will start to be sent.5. Once the process has finished the OPT 11 will respond with OK

Performing a manual software upload on M39xx phones

The normal procedure is: All commands in LD 32! To check which version of firmware a single M390x phoneset has: FWVU LL SS

CC UU ****M3900 VERSION REPORT**** TERMINAL TYPE = 021 CORE FIRMWARE VERSION = 018 FLASH FIRMWARE VERSION = 032

To print a summary report of firmware versions currently connected to the switch: FSUM .fsum **M3902 SUMMARY 080 – ON DISK **M3903 SUMMARY 080 – ON DISK **M3904 SUMMARY 083 – ON DISK 083 (083 ) – 000026 SETS FOUND 083 (024 ) – 000004 SETS FOUND 047 (024 ) – 000001 SETS FOUND **M3905 SUMMARY 083 – ON DISK 083 (018 ) – 000055 SETS FOUND 032 (018 ) – 000029 SETS FOUND 024 (018 ) – 000011 SETS FOUND 000 (018 ) – 000001 SETS FOUND 000014 SETS NOT RESPONDING

Important: Before updating a phoneset, make sure that the phoneset is logged out and during the updating procces do not touch or unplug the phoneset ! It could destroy the complete phoneset!

To initiate conditional download to a M390x phoneset: FDLU LL SS CC UU¸ or FDLF ( not sure ) FDLI = Upload firmware when phone is idle ( takes 20 min )b SDL001 STARTING DNLG LL SS CC UU SDL000 3905(LL SS CC UU ), VERSION 32, MAINT MODE. <— this takes approximately 10 minutes

During the updating procces (approximately 10 minutes) the phone will show a progress bar on the display. If the download has been aborted by leaving the overlay you have to restart by entering the command FDLF LL SS CC UU

How do I reset an i200x without removing power?

mute up down up down up mute 9 Release . Phone will then reset.
