Nortel Business Series Terminal T7208 - digital phone Logo
Dilipan Gnanasabesan Posted on Nov 09, 2012

I am using a Nortel T7208/T7316 sets (BCM 450 PBX) system, and I want to program a phone to ring when someone calls the main line. Most of our phones only ring when you type the extension internally. I would like the phone to ring when someone calls from outside. I can't find the info. anywhere. Please help.

The phone must be programmed with the target line assigned to the number you wish to have ring at that phone. This can be done with the BCM Element Manager interface. If your BCM450 is running version 6, I think this can even be done directly from the phone, but I'm not sure of that process.

SOURCE: Callback

first off the T7208 is the phone model and need the ksu model number to know what system you are in. But you can always call that extension and if not in office it should go straight to voice mail (if any) then leave mssge to call back

SOURCE: nortel t7208

it seems like your system does not have disconnect supervision. set it to yes under trunk line data. that way the system knows when a call is released.

How do you transfer a call on a Nortel t7208?

This is usually programmed as one of the 'soft' buttons down the right hand side of the device - subject to the programming of your phone / and the system.

Usually the T7208 is connected to the BCM range of PBX systems - in which case, to transfer a call, you'd use Feature 70. You could, of course, program this into one of the buttons yourself, so you only have to press one button to do so.

Hope this is of use to you. :)

I have a 3-line Nortel T7316e phone. The feature to un-forward calls from one of my lines is not doing so. I need to un-forward calls from one of my lines.

Usually it should unforward calls by pressing the CALL FWD key again. Check out the user manual to be sure 100%. You can download the manual here: Nortel t7316

Hi there...

OK, the Nortel T7208 set works only on a Nortel system.
It has only one line cord plugged into it, cause the telephone system can be programmed for more telephone lines and features from the system.

If you want just a home (analog) telephone service; look at Aastra/ Telematrix/ there are others - 2 line sets.

ONLY buy this Nortel set is you have a Norstar system. Otherwise the set will not work for you. It needs a system to run off.

Good luck in your search!
