Recently our local CO installed a new switch. Now we are having
problems with our Mitel SX-200
ground start lines. Seems the SX-200 doesnt hold the ground start long
enough for the new CO to
recognize a call for dial tone. The SX-200 will pull a dial tone
about 30 percent of the time. I dont
see that the ground start timing is variable on the Mitel SX-200. I
hope the CO can make some
sort of accomodation. Anybody run into this kind of a problem on some
of the newer CO switches
they are installing around the country Id appreciate hearing what you
were able to do about it.

Asking the obvious (because I've seen it before) are you sure when they
replaced the switch all your ground start lines are still ground start
and loop start lines for extraneous devices are still loop start. I've
seen the telcos or clec bolix it up on those kinds of switches on more
than one occasion.

Take care,
Rich

God bless the USA

Thanks Rich,
Yes, I checked that. they are ground start and they will start
manually but they need a good seems like a half second to ground in
order to start. Thought current was a little low. Barely 20 ma start
current and 15ma line current @ 7.9 volts when dial tone is
established. Don't know
what normal values should be. I never checked these parameters on the
old CO. Im told the new
CO is an EMS? Lucent Technologies Switch.

DMS 100, perhaps? Those values are a little low - are you a long way
from the switch?

I take it you have no timers om the Mitel to adjust the duration of the
grounding? I'm not a Mitel person, but the larger switches I do know
have an adjustment for that. Or have you played with all those till
you're sick of 'em?

Take care,
Rich

God bless the USA
