Unfortunately, no... but I hadn't had much time to go mess with it.

I now have the spare hooked up to my phone line, using the "phone box" and the RS-232 cable to the terminal itself.

While I can actually access the system programming from there, I cannot set I/O port 9 as the data port for operator B (even when using a different I/O port to attempt this change):
Quote
Code
Operator Programming |
---------------------'
 Operator B  Extension 3xxx  Port  *  Integrated CRT Y  FNCT keys=Departments N
                Display Extn Names Y  Allow Conference N  Page All Zones  N
                TMC OPTION N  ANI OPTION N  Unscreened Transfer N
                RLS No Auto Ans Y
(pasted from a telnet session to the IDS)

I can even dial my extension and hear the console ringing, but RLS and ICM do nothing. (Eventually, my call goes to voicemail.)


Is there some other location to enable a second operator position?

Also, before anyone asks:

Yes, I have changed PERSONALITY to OPT'S TERM and DATA/PRINTER to AUX/MODEM and I'm plugging the RS-232 cable into the port labeled AUX.

in the Port setup:
Quote
Code
[P]ort 09  Installd Y Data prt 187
    Speed = 9600   Protocol = X_ON
Printer 0 Computer Port N Type 000
SMDR N Incom N Local N Long Dist N
ACD SMDR N Incom N Outg N Remote N
(and have tried Computer Port Y as well as modifying the Type (tried 000 and 070) in the Port setup.)

If you are not using the integrated operator base then set Integrated CRT to N.

Also per the manual ports 5-8 can support an operator terminal,not 9.

In addition,if ports 5-8 are to be used for an integrated operator then the port assignment must be programmed in the operator area before any programming in the I/O port area.

Using the complete outfit including the base unit and the terminal itself. So, I'll set Integrated CRT to Y.

D'Oh. That was it. I'm using port 9. How could I have missed that? Such a minor, little, yet important, detail... Thanks! I'll try it out tomorrow!

Well, it worked at my desk once I defined my station as being on I/O port 5. Couldn't get a handset to work with it, but that's OK-- the operator is used to a standard display phone, anyway. But, the picture is beautiful-- all the nice boxes drawn out, no line noise-- and it doesn't blink off and redraw every 20-70 seconds.

I'm tempted to steal the keyboard from that terminal-- I like having a separate console to manage the system rather than using telnet or Procomm.

Is there a pinout for that keyboard connection, or a way to modify an XT or AT keyboard to work with the Operator Terminal?

(edit: Found what may be a pinout that could work with an XT keyboard (although it's possible it requires an AT keyboard, which are more readily available):
<OL TYPE=1>
[*]Data YELLOW
[*]+5v GREEN
[*]Clock RED
[*]Ground BLACK
</OL>

Gave up on that-- just using the operator's keyboard, instead. Turns out there are much more things to consider other than just the pinouts.

Noticed, though-- if in the Port setting you put Computer Port to Y, you get that redraw thing... I could have avoided a lot of trouble, I suppose. Still, I learned quite a bit.

You hit escape to refresh screen.
The handset cord needs to be modified on one end to be RJ45. It plugs into the RJ45 plug on the operator integration box.

Post your Email or Email me and I can send you some info.

Good Luck!!
