Still more PBX stuff.

[Clicking on station to station calls?]

No, I don't think it did, but I'm pretty sure it clicked once when I called
the console. And dialing 9 made it click a couple times.

[CO wasn't talking to me?]

Not sure how it determined it, but it sensed the CO wasn't there.
(Minor Network Alarm is what the panel indicated.) Probably what
you said.

[How did I find extension numbers?]

The console seems to have an internal-only Caller ID, because when I called
the console, there was a small LED display that lit up with the extension
number. I know it's the extension number because if I dial it at a dial tone,
it rings the extension I dialed.

And now for the next screw: I need the MAAP device. Almost all of the
administration-type functions need it. I'm going to go back to the site
and see if I can find it, but I'm pretty sure I got everything that was
there. It does look (from the diagrams in the schematics book) like the
little terminals the DEC F-S people had (the one pictured in the RA81
manual, at least), but I can't find a pinout for the connector for it.
The connector for the MAAP is on the breaker panel - Maybe if I see how
many lines are in the back of it... Maybe if I'm really lucky it's just
a serial device!
