Good morning kind folks, I was wondering if anyone could please tell me if an nortel M3904 would work on my 6x16. The M3904 looks to be a really cool phone, thank you.

No. They were designed for the SL series (SL-1, SL-100) PBX.

Thank you very much Carl.

You need to look for the M7xx-series phones.

M7310
M7208
M7100


Personally - I would not use the M7100. Work fine but not what I would use..

If I am not mistaken I think you can also use the T series of phones if your software level is high enough. But please someone chime in let me know if that is incorrect.

I have never tried the T-series on the old 6x16.
It may or may not work.

But for the T7316e phone - IF (BIG IF) it works it will act like M7310 phone.
In other words, only the bottom 5 buttons on left and right can be Line Buttons.
But ALL 8 on each side can be anything else.

Somewhere in the back of my mind it seems like you can, but it has to be on dr5.1.xxx maybe?

T series will work on all releases with exceptions:

All releases of software:
T7316 and T7316e
As mentioned the bottom 5 buttons on both rows/sides will simulate an M7310 hence no lines allowed on the top 3 of each row.
The red LED light will not act as an MSG indicator

Software prior to 6.1
T7316e
-Handsfree button will not work, instead it will be the last key bottom right same as M7310.
-Special LCD indicators on the bottom display will not work for the two rows of buttons
-The red LED light will not act as an MSG indicator

Yes the T series works on my system as indicated, and Curleycord was right about the buttons, and I want to add something, fowarding calls from one extension to another is something that I am not able to complete. I have followed the directions to the "T" and nothing. I am wondering if my particular system has anything to do with that.

Call Forward was not available on early release/s.
