From a different forum and read this carefully!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't panic, follow the below steps and it will be working again.
You need:
- IP Office
- IP Office Manager
- HyperTerminal
- Serial cable 9 to 9 pin -or- 9 to 24 pin depending of the crashed module
Steps to follow
create a offline config for the IP Office
add the not working module in the offline config
send the offline mede config to the IP Office and reboot IP Office
power off the IP Office
connect the not working expansion module to the IP Office
connect the expansion module serial port to your PC
start HyperTerminal - 38400,8,N,1
power up the expansion module and repeatingly press ESC on the PC until you get the Loader message
Power up the IP Office
Open Avaya Manager and open the config
Make sure the TFTP server in Manager is active and that the working directory contains the necessery bin files for the expansion module
In HyperTerminal enter AT-X, de module replies with a erase message and will show a TFTP Poll message
If all is well you can see in the Manager tftp logs that the module is loading the software
Go for a coffee and be patient, after a while the LED on the expansion module becomes green, it will take a few seconds from here before the unit is operational!
Close the config in Manager and open it again
test the module, if only the software was a problem it is working again - if not you have a hardware problem
I wasn't disagreeing with you - just think it wise to a) take a backup of the existing configuration and b) try the simply solution before going the whole AT-X wipe the control unit route. Yours is the solution for a system that won't recover on a reboot and some do.
Getting a config is a good thing to do.
My experience is that when the module is rebooting all the time it lost it's software.
But trying it does not harm the system.
I reckon you will have a PC with a Gigabit Nic plugged into the DS module. Unplug all cables and see if the unit becomes stable. You will probably also find that the port will have a blown chip on it as well.
