Ignoring the acquisition of TIE/Nitsuko.

A few months ago I started a new position at a hospital with several locations, the main campus and some others using both VoIP and Aastra Intecom PBX. The programming is CLI via PuTTY. I've heard of Aastra VoIP phones, but didn't realize they had an older TDM PBX.I believe Aastra was acquired by Mitel. Some of the Aastra and Mitel phones we have look identical. There's very little information out there about the Intecom PBX. The digital phones are 4 wire! Whenever I search on 'Intecom', Google will ask 'Did you mean Intercom?'

It looks to be around the same vintage of the multi-node Rolm 9751, with nodes and cabinets linked by fiber. The main system and other cabinets are typical housings with 24 channel analog or 36 channel digital cards, while other remote cabinets could be the typical cabinet with cards, or 2 or so U high interfaces in 19" racks. Seemed iike a very practical system for it's time. Other cabinets (I was corrected when referring to them as nodes) are located in towns up to 45 minutes away, I don't know how those are linked. The guy who maintains the system at the main hospital showed me backup media. It appeared to be DVD-RWs.

Has anyone heard of or worked on these systems?

Try calling the hospital fax number with a butt set using the fax line in question. If you get any type of error message, report the problem to the customer's carrier. If you hear fax tones from the other end, there's an issue with the sending fax not quite relating to the hospitals handshakes.

I forgot, BST is backwards compatible, just the Norstar Doorphone will not work on BCM.

I would suggest to
-disconnect & reconnect the jumper from the 6X16
-reboot system, be prepared to re-program it if the cap is weak
-replace door phone

Perhaps the door phone has some mixing software in it to give the best sound output and it's broken.

I've installed the PC Health Check app on my Surface Laptop. The only problem is the age of the processor. Everything else is good. Ditto for my church's Surface Pro 3 (my first Surface product).

Thanks David! That's the info I was after!

I found out that the phone had to be reset to factory default by holding the up volume control while phone reboots. A menu comes up where you can reset to default DHCP or program IP address if needed.

Did you move to a different CO port on the KSU? Also, how long did you let it ring? It may be looking for Caller ID.

The ECS web browser programmer runs on the ICON App Server, a blade-type card that lives in the ECS cabinet. If you're running the TOL voicemail server, the web server program is probably installed on the VM server. If you have the in-skin OmegaVoice voicemail, you don't. It required some licensing to use IIRC. Try doing a web search for the software, or finding a vendor somewhere that can get it for you. There is a programming manual for the ECS, but it's well over 1000 pages. It basically tells you what each programming class does and how things interact. If you need to do anything more serious than changing station names I strongly recommend finding a qualified vendor. Programming these babies is not for the faint of heart...

While recently rummaging through one of my two toolboxes at church, I stumbled upon a PowerFast 31000 stapler. I remember using it on occasion, but, switched to other means to secure cables to walls. Refills aren't that expensive at the "Depot", so I might head on over and grab a box to see how well it works in comparison to my personal T59 stapler.

@newtecky,

That's pretty much what I figured. Thanks!!!
