''nortel meridian switch goes dead then resets'' power supply?

A Nortel Key Service Unit, an ICS (MICS,CICS), BCM (50,100 etc), Norstar (308,616,824), an Avaya IP Office running Nortel cards, or there is another company that makes a Nortel emulation key system but I can't recall what it is right now.

If you only have one line,why not just lose the Nortel system? You can reuse the wiring from the phone sets to the contoller as regular inside wire,and just plug in regular phones(and maybe put the Nortel phones and controller on EBay and make a few bucks off it!)

Press Feature * 3
press the 5th line key you want to use for paging
enter the page-all code (feature 601-603 as you wish)

The battery in your phone system is dead. This will happen every time you have a power failure. Everything resets. Date becomes Jan 1st 1980 (but might update if you have callerID), all phones will have access to only line 1 and line 2, both those lines will ring on all calls, and the line settings are set back to pulse ...

Ideally you either have the battery replaced (it's soldered on the board of the system), or you get a new phone system. Otherwise you'll have to reprogram everything when you have a power failure.

Press feature *3, press the button you want to program back to speed dial, and press feature 0.

Sounds like it might be a telco problem. Do lines 3 ,4 work on the other phones?
Switch lines 1 and 3 to see if the problem changes.

Not too sure what type of manual you are looking for, but here is a useful link to have for a Norstar system information.

Dear sheryl498,

Your phone is designed for a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) unit like the Compact ICS or the 6x16 TCU that was at the office. It is not compatible with regular POTS lines or standard home lines.

you pbx is bad
