I'm going to ask you guys to get in your Marty McFly DeLorean on this one!

I am trying to track down information on the M3000 phone. Particularly the Rls it was introduced. I faguely remember working on these in the mid 80s on a Rls 16, but I read somewhere that it was Rls 25.3. I think it was definitely before that.

Your thoughts?

If you do know the release, do you know the date of introdution? Or, better yet, Is there a documenmt that has all the Rls and there introduction dates? It is real easy to find EOL on these Rls, but introduction is another matter.

Thanx

My old boss had one on his desk. Only thing I remember was you could create your own ringtone using a piano-like interface (assuming I'm actually remembering correctly).

GHTROUT,
I ran into your poster while I was searching for answers. I actually was able to program one on a CS1000 Rls 7.5.

Where did you see the info that they came out on Rls 7? Is there a spreadsheet or anything? Do you know what year Rls 7 was introduced?

If you open the Admin Guide and search for the word "Touch" it refers to the option TSET that refers to X-11 Rls 7

I am guessing Rls 7 was the very late 1980's Rls 5 was somewhere about 1985 or 86 I think - that's the Rls I learned BARS on.

Good stuff GHTROUT. I looked at the packages and found the 89 is TSET for M3000 phones, introduced with Rls 7. What I really need now is some definitive document or something that says when Rls 7 was introduced

You guy's are dating yourself!!! I had a bunch on a RLS 16 NT and was so glad when they came out with (4 of 4.5)version that you could use the directory archive tool on a set change out.

AH!! the good old phone day's, back when they had song's about us!!

Yeah buddy I remember that archive tool it was the black box that you had to sit into the cradle to back up the phones directory. I was a onsite tech back in the day at a hugh lawyer firm here in downtown Baltimore and we had about 500 M3000's sets, prior to this job I had only seen pics of these beasts. I swear it seemed like I used to replace these phones on a daily basis, but the lawyers loved them damn things because of those directories.

GHTROUT, That link is exactly what I was looking for! Thanx for the legwork. It's amazing how much documentation has disappeared since Avaya took over operations. It's like they are trying to erase anything prior to the sale, it's frustrating as hell!

Now, I need to find a user manual for the M3000. If anyone has one or a link to one that would be awesome!

Splic3d, That is for the 3900 series phones, I've got plenty of those. What I am looking for is a manual or user guide for the M3000 LCD phone that was out in the 80s. Thanx for trying though

Stanley,
Awesome, great doc! A little hard to navigate but I managed to copy it page by page. It's not a user manual but it'll work. Once again, thanks guys for all the leg work on this

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. My first Meridian was a SL1 "A". When you get that old, your mind starts slipping. LOL

GHTROUT, As usual you da man! I think I have everything I need at this point. I'm still trying to track down a user guide, but this should be good enough.
Well, it was fun going down memory lane with all of you on this. Brings back memories of the bad hair 80s, no cell phones, and rude lawyers who couldn't understand why they couldn't see the display on this phone at certain times of the day. It's called the Sun! Close your blinds idiots,lol!
