Northern Telecom first marketed and manufactured the product line under the SL-1 PBX or PABX large business telephone system. This evolved from the Meridian Norstar to the Nortel Norstar product line. First in size was the Meridian Norstar 616. This supported 6 incoming CO lines and 16 digital telephone extensions however, caller ID and voicemail were not supported. There is however a retrofit caller ID adapter that would all the passage of Caller ID data to the various M7310, M7324, M7100, M7208 small office telephone sets.
The next version of the Norstar Telephone System was the 824. This was an expandable office telephone system which would accommodate 8 incoming CO lines and 24 digital display speakerphone telephones installed. This as well as all the other Norstar Meridian product lines installed supported Music on Hold, External Paging and Page Horns and depending on the supported software level Flash or Startalk Voicemail as well with a standard installation. The Norstar Meridian 824 was also expandable to support Copper Expansion Modules to further grow in size supporting medium and large configurations. DR5 software with Disconnect Supervision (DS) is required to support an internal voicemail unit.
The Norstar CICS, also marketed under the name for Norstar Networks Compact ICS, ranges in size from a starting installer configuration with 4 incoming Central Office telephone lines and 8 digital display office telephones to as large as 8 incoming lines and 24 digital telephone extensions after initial installation. The size supported for the Norstar CICS is dependent upon the number of DS or CI trunk cartridges (line expansion cards) and software cartridge service or PCI card inserted into the CICS's PCI slot. Each DS or CI trunk module supports 4 incoming lines for service. The difference between the DS and the CI trunk module is that the CI supports Caller ID installation and the DS does not. The Norstar Compact ICS supports Startalk, Flash and Call Pilot Voicemail Systems. Other installations may vary.
The Norstar MICS (Modular Integrated Communications System) comes in a 0x16 configuration. This means that out of the box is supports no incoming telephone lines but 32 digital telephone extensions. The incoming CO lines are added by adding DS or CI trunk line cards to the system. The system can then be expanded by adding copper or fiber optic expansion modules. The system grows quite large and supports Startalk, Flash, Call Pilot and NAM (Norstar Application Module) Voicemail Systems.
The telephone models supported by the Norstar product line are all backwards compatible meaning that any telephone model is supported by any telephone system version installed. For example the newest telephone model which is the T7316E or T7316 can be used on the earliest 3X8 Norstar system. In addition, the earliest telephone such as the M7324 or the M7310 can be serviced and utilized on a BCM or MICS or CICS telephone system control module or KSU.
We maintain, service and repair all makes and models of business telephone system and small office telephone system Norstar releases.
