20 Most Recent Nortel Norstar M7208 Telephone Questions & Answers

If you have cleared the voicemail on the phone bank itself is there a possibility that your provider has it's own separate voicemail service? I have ran into this scenario a number of times as the voicemail on your unit is a separate service from the provider. They will commonly have some number to dial to check the messages, It seems like they enable this "feature" usually when some other change has been made to the phone service, like call waiting, distinctive ring, etc.

There is a chance if you reduce the volume.

If you have lines appearing on your phone and they don't ring you need to program lines to ring. This type of programming is done from a M7310 phone. Page 323 of this manual shows how to program this on a NorthStar MICS Ver 6 phone system. http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/TELECOM-F-R/Nortel%20MICS%20System%20Installer%20Guide%206.1.pdf Enter the programming mode : Feature **266344 Password:266344 You will have 4 programming buttons on your phone, normally the 2 top left and 2 top right of the 2 vertical rows. top left = move up one level lower left = back top right = select lower right = next once you enter the programming mode press next to "Terminals and Sets" press select enter your extension number press select press next to "Line Access" press select press next to "Line Assignment" press select use the next key to go to the line you want and use the soft-key below the display to change it from "Appear" to "Appear and Ring"

Before you can do anything you need a M7310. Programming a Nortel voice mail requires M7310. It uses the 3 soft keys under the display to program it. You can get one cheap on EBAY. Next you need to find out what type of Voice Mail System in connected to your Nortel phone system. Below is a link to a Older StarTalk manual. You may have a StarTalk, StarTalk Flash, or a Call Pilot. http://www.myuserguides.com/Nortel_Norstar_Startalk.pdf#page=15&zoom=auto,-69,407 Below is a link that tells how to reset the System Manager Password. Reset Admin Password Norstar Meridian and Nortel BCM Help Guides The default code and password for System Admin is F983 and 1020000 or 1021111. The photo below shows a system admin programming tree. Hope this helps Charlie

To reset the password on the mail box you need to go to a M7310 phone on your system. It has 3 buttons under the display. You need to press the "Feature" button and 983, then enter the password 120000 (this one is used if you have 2 digit extensions 1020000 is used if you have 3 digit extensions) . Next in the display you will see mbox-AA-othr above the soft keys. Press the button below mbox. Next enter your extension number. After that you should see the screen to reset your password. This will reset the password to 0000. When you go back to your own extension and log in to your mailbox it will prompt you to change your password. If you password120000 or 1020000 doesn't work try 121111 or 1021111, the last 4 digits are the password for the admin mailbox.

Your problem is in the phone system programming. I would need to know how old your main cabinet is in order to tell you how to fix it. On most Nortel systems you use "Feature Key" **266344 (Feature **CONFIG) . You will need to program from a M7310 phone because you need the 3 soft keys under the display which the M7208 does not have. The top 4 keys on the phone are used for programming (2 LEFT & 2 RIGHT) . I'm referring to the 2 vertical rows of keys (5 LEFT & 5 RIGHT). Upper left key is up a menu, upper right key is SELECT, lower left is BACK, and the lower right is NEXT. I believe you need to find the CAPABILITIES menu for your station/extension and use the next button to look for the handsfree setting use the key under the display to change it. The manuals are at http://wedophones.com/Manuals/Nortel/

Dial 101 and follow the prompts. Otherwise look for a reset underneath and hold for 5 -10 sec.

THis is usually because it thinks that there is something there, but the code path to 'clear it" doesn't follow the same logic path. Sometimes, adding a new message - i.e. dial your number from elsewhere, to create a real message waiting, and then clearing that, resets this.

You would need to log in as the voicemail admin using "Feature 983" followed by 102 (if you have 3 digit extension numbers) then the voicemail admin password. From there you can select MBOX and reset the password to 0000 for the mailbox in question.

To program the calls to go to the new location with the same extension number on a Nortel Networks T7316 phone, you will need to update the call routing information in the phone system's programming. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Access the programming mode on the phone system. This typically involves entering a password or code on the phone's keypad.
2. Locate the call routing configuration for the extension in question. This may be in a menu for "extensions" or "call routing," depending on the specific phone system.
3. Edit the call routing information to reflect the new location of the extension. This may involve specifying a new phone number, a new group or queue, or a new set of forwarding rules.
4. Save the changes and exit the programming mode.

Once you have completed these steps, incoming calls should be routed to the new location of the extension, even though the extension number remains the same. Note that it may take some time for the changes to propagate through the phone system, so it is possible that calls may still go to the old location for a brief period of time after the changes are made.
