    Haunted Norstart MICS?

    Thanks, I'll wait and see if it behaves, anything strange happens again and that's what I'll do. (have since resolved the first "mystery call" issue - one of the upper programmed buttons... sticks. duh.)

    Haunted Norstart MICS?

    Nortel MICS 7.1, about 10 7310, 4 7208, 1 7410CT (I know), 5 7406 on 2 base stations, 3 doorphones, 1 ASM. KSU and ASM are on a UPS. On day last week, one 7310 decided to call another set... would not stop until the called station answered (no camp-on or busy call-back, that set hardly gets...

    Norstar 0x32 with ASM-MWI

    Nope the ASM does not relay/generate CLID (and I wish mine did). Interestingly, while the Norstar itself does not support Caller-ID-Call-Waiting, if you happen to be on the cordless phone served by the ASM at the time a CLID-CW call comes in, that CLID signalling will pass through the...

    Detailed power specs for UPS config, full blown MICS/NAM

    Just a suggestion, as I was recently estimating/measuring power consumpton on something totally unrelated, after looking up specs and checking nameplates, I plugged the load into a Kill-A-Watt power monitor. Thinking I might go and put it on my Norstar (MICS 0X23 + ASM) next and compare its...

    Cell to Norstar

    I use an XLINK BT to do what I believe your customer wants - www.myxlink.com (no affiliation, just a satisfied customer). The XLINK is wired to a CO port on the Norstar ("line 3" for me, which is Ring Only on most sets, and Ring & Appear on a couple). There's a version that can connect "in...

    Can't Find 'Change DNs' Option

    Then again, you *could* change the three office numbers to match their current extensions. Three brass plaques and you're done. ;-)

    T7406 Display/Keyboard Weirdness

    (never mind my first question re base stations - a little research answered that). Still thinking there must be a way to get the handset out of delayed-display mode. I have a vague memory of it having happened before, but none of how I fixed it, or it fixed itself.

    T7406 Display/Keyboard Weirdness

    Doesn't the "e" use a different base station? Not looking to swap out the whole set. Also, I'd heard the "non-e" with its external antenna actually worked better, but never had a chance to compare. As for the troublesome handset itself, it's not a hardware issue as all the keys and the...

    T7406 Display/Keyboard Weirdness

    I have an interesting one... MICS 832, 7.1 ver 30DEC12 NAT, nearly maxed-out with M7310s, a few 7308s, four doorphones, and six T7406 on two base stations. Works fine. Except recently, one of the 7406s has developed an odd behaviour: after dialing the first digit, the second digit does not...

    Ringing over paging port

    We sort of did that for a night ring - wired up the night ring relay to the Page button of a telephone set in the equipment room. Then ringing tripped the relay, the phone did an "all page", and it's mic picked up the ringing sound, so we heard a paging splash tone followed by a ringing phone...

    Max distance for a continous copper run

    Postallworxguy (Vendor) wrote: "The more copper per foot, the more resistance per foot, the more voltage drop there will be at the far end. When it comes to copper less is more. 24 gauge copper is 0.02567 ohms per foot. " Can I nit-pick here? Your statement is correct as to wire gauge, where...

    Error when dialing into RAD

    exsmogger - did "temporarily" expire already, or am I using the wrong link? (apparently I need to check the forum more often).

    Error when dialing into RAD

    hmm, add me to the club. I just added a FastRAD to my MICS7.1, installed Windows Virtual PC on my Win7 laptop to run XP programs such as NRU 10. Got the USB-Serial adapter working on the XP-virtual-PC... only to find that I'm missing aog00eng.map. So, thinking I was being clever (it happens)...

    T7406 "sticky" - or haunted? keypad

    Actually I just fixed this myself, but am still curious if anyone else has ever experienced something like this. On a MICS 7.1, 1 CI cartridge, 1 ASM module, and among various 7310 and 7308 sets, two 7406 base stations, one serving three cordless handsets and the other serving one. User (ok...

    Linking 2 CICS via VoIP or similar

    I did exactly this for a time between three sites using surplus (read eBay) Ericsson Webcom Webswitch 100 P4 and G4 boxes (FXO and FXS flavours). Each gave 4 ports, either to line card or as extensions on an ATA. Two systems were Norstar, one an InterTel. The WebSwitch boxes did not need...
