Line Interface Module?

[bhackbarth]

I've never had to set one of these up before, until today.  Unpacked the LIM and followed all the instructions: snapped into the back of a 5330, installed the screw, and attached the included 4P4C cord from the headset jack of the phone to the "headset" jack on the LIM.

Phone booted up and asked "ANALOG LINE CONFIGURE?" so I hit yes, Country 1, Failover Only off, and Privacy off, and then save to NVRAM. It didn't ask me where I would like to the put the "ANALOG LINE" key as the guide eluded to.  But anyhow, phone booted up fine, I briefly saw the "ANALOG LINE" key appear on page 1, but my keymap soon loaded and overwrote where it was.

I called the line hooked to the LIM and the set rang fine, but there was no way to answer, because there is no LIM key. Also there is no way to call out on the LIM for that same reason.  From what I can tell, there is no feature code that represents that key, it comes from the set itself somehow.


Questions:  how do I set / program the ANALOG LINE key?
What is the 4P4C cord for, between the headset jacks?
Does the LIM support FSK caller ID? (Didn't have my buttset handy to listen for the FSK burst)  but none came thru on the display.

System software is 6.0 SP1 PR5.

In key programming there is 'Line Interface Module'
Maybe this would work?

Thank you!   I sure couldn't see the forest through all these trees.

It doesn't help that terminology changes between products either. 3300 to 5000 is very different.

I'm assuming a LIM cannot follow a system forward path, nor go to voicemail, nor can it transfer a call to another extension, Correct?  I was assuming it was a "dumb device' paired to one button on one phone, nothing more.  Anything more, Mitel would say hey, get a Controller.  I just want to make sure I was correct in these thoughts.

In this case, if I tell them to dial the star code with the phone company do a CF No Answer,  This will do exactly what they need.

My understanding is that it is a dumb device.
Used for power outages and local calls in/out.

Correct, primarily designed for power outtages and local 911.
