Nortel Norstar Programming Requirements for MICS and CICS
Nortel MICS switches typically support connections for up to 16 voice mail
ports. If more than 16 voice mail ports are connected simultaneously, the
resulting traffic may overload the switch, resulting in symptoms such as very
slow switch response, lost LED updates, incomplete display updates, and lost
calls.
If using Dialogic
®
D/42JCT-U or D/82JCT-U PBX Integration Boards with
the Nortel MICS switch, “Nortel_Norstar.fwl” should be selected. (On
Windows
®
systems, this is selected in the Dialogic
®
Configuration Manager
(DCM). On Linux systems, this is selected in the configuration file
/usr/dialogic/cfg/dialogic.cfg.) This firmware boots the board ports into voice
mail mode. Therefore, it can be beneficial for the programming of any MICS
system to be carefully reviewed to verify that no more than 16 ports are
connected in voice mail mode.
NOTE: It is possible to use Dialogic
®
D/42JCT-U or D/82JCT-U Boards with
the Nortel MICS switch without the connected ports operating in
voice mail mode. If doing so, load “Nortel_BCM.FWL” in DCM (on
Windows systems) or in the configuration file
/usr/dialogic/cfg/dialogic.cfg (on Linux systems). This firmware does
not boot the ports in voice mail mode. Keep in mind that in this
configuration, these ports have blank CPID information and they are
not able to set or clear Message Waiting indicators.
All programming is done by a phone or other KSU tool and the programmer
should be logged in as config. These programming settings are required for
proper functionality of the Dialogic
®
PBX Integration Boards.
