Voicemail Help please!!! When trying to access our voicemail system on our Norstar 7316e, (feature 983) it says "Inactive feature". Everything worked fine yesterday, how did the system get turned off, and how can I restart it?

Norstar M7310 features inactive
All features are inactive. I have done the following: 1. Press [Feature] **938378 (XFtest). The password will be 266344 (Config). 2. Your display will read Feat code: and you will have options First and Exit. 3. Press First. The first stored feature code will appear, and you will have options Test, Back, and Next. 4. Press Test. Your options will read Remove and OK. Press Remove. 5. Once the feature code is removed, press Next to go to the next code. 6. Do this with all codes until your display reads None Registered 7. Release Next I am told to Restore connections to the voicemail ports from the KSU. Power the system back up. But I do not know how to do this. Please advise. Thank you!

If you are getting inactive feature when entering feature 983 the phone system and voice mail unit are not communicating. This usually requires a power reset to clear. Or the voice mail unit is in trouble and a vendor needs to be called.

NorStar (NTAB2666) Audio Conference - this is a conference unit.

You issues is with voice mail though.
Call a tech in since your system is down.

Dial Feature 985
When the display changes to say SET something, dial 9
it'll prompt for a password, dial 73738767793
it'll ask if you want to reset the password, say YES
then you'll be able to login with feature 983 1020000

Sounds like the voicemail either is disconnected from the phone system or has lost power to the voicemail.Open the cover to the voicemail and see if there are any lights on in the system.If so then disconnect the power tho the voicemail for about 30 seconds. the voicemail could take up to 10 minutes to fully reboot.

Cycle the power on the voicemail system and that should solve the problem. If you still get the "Feature inactive" message, you may have to replace the voicemail power supply or get the voicemail system repaired.
Good Luck!

Sounds like the voicemail system is locked up and needs to be powered down and powered back up.
The voicemail, if it is a Call Pilot looks like a small gray box which looks like this in the photo: http://presstelegram.kaango.com/resources/img/itemimages/JUN/491159/LO10559_491159_06302009144332-large.jpg
You can unplug this unit for about 15 seconds, then plug it back in...
It will take about 5 minutes for the Call Pilot to re-boot, then you can dial FEATURE 9 8 3 to ensure that it has come back up.
Good Luck!

First make sure u r using Voicemail system which is either Star talk or call pilot.
If u r any one of this then only u can use F 981, 982 , 983 or 985. Its a feature code of voice mail.
If u r using either of this and still gettin inactive feature, then try with rebooting The Satr talk or call pilot i.e. switch off from mains wait for few mins and switch it back on.
After rebooting it will take 15-20 mins to boot up the system and after that u can use these feature.

Thanks.

Feature 983 gives cess to System Administration; This Feature will ask for a Log:

Feature 981 Opens A Mailbox your mailbox # should consist of three digits. First what is the name of your mailbox system?

Cycle the power on the voicemail system. If that does not work, you may have to replace the voicemail power supply, or send the voicemail system for repair.
Good Luck!
