SOURCE: Programming a phone to pick up calls

I need more information. When calls come in, does the triangles appear on the phones you want to pick up? Do you have all the lines on the phones? Is sounds like you want only the "ringing sound" to happen on your phone, but have it appear on the others. Is this correct??

SOURCE: Voicemail

It sounds like you are using a voicemail service from a provider, meaning you did not buy the voicemail system with the phone system. If you confirm, I can tell you how to fix this.

SOURCE: Phone will not ring

It's RINGING now! I followed the Set Programming instruction in our manual. It's in Configuration 3-21. It's a very old old Operator guide.
I am trying to find it online. In the mean time you can use the M7208 Phone Adminitration Overlay over the keys and program your phone by pressing Feature **266344
Here is a link to the overlay
Good Luck.

My M7310 won't forward a call to the next open line but gives a busy signal

Hard to answer because your problem description does not match the part.
Nortel Meridian M7208 Corded Phone is a digital phone which works off a phone system.Also note that the carrier controls the rollover, not the phone or its system.

Once you have more/proper details maybe you can be helped.

NorStar M7208 - How to remove global ringing?

This is tech side of programming and not Admin, if you don't know config password or how to program then call a tech.
If you do know then:
First find out what line #, do F*0 then press the button and note the full number on the display.
i.e. Line 5 in programming is Line 005, 025 or 031 depending on software version.

Incoming calls briefly ring once then automatically kick over to answering machine. I cannot get any incoming calls

Are you using norstar voicemail system?

If you are and know how to get into the admin programming of it, then you go to the line programming and select the number of rings before the vmail system answers.

set the rings to "3", then the lines should ring 3 times on your phone, then on the 4th ring the vmail system will answer

Record a Primary message

It sounds like the recording for 22 may not be the one answering the call. another mailbox, say 10 the general elivery mailbox may be answering, this is the one you need to change.
