ISDN COMES TWO WAYS - NATIONAL AND CUSTOM CONFIGURATION

Did you know the difference between ISDN National and Custom configuration? I often get requests for legacy ISDN telephone sets and what people don't often realize there are two types of configurations. Even with the advent of IP, ISDN service is still widely utilized in government and municipal applications because of its flexibility, economy, quality, options, and inherent security. National configuration is often found with service offered through phone companies providing service through Northern and Siemans switches. The most common platform is Custom configuration through the AVAYA-Lucent-AT&T 5ESS switch. Before you order any ISDN service, phones, or parts for ISDNusage please be aware of the two types of configurations in the ISDN world.

NORTEL is AVAYA and AVAYA is AVAYA now!

Did you know AVAYA and NORTEL have merged? AVAYA being the dominant player. The FYI is that CICS and MICS (0X32) platforms are manufacture discontinued as of this month. The good news is that there are lots these systems out there so parts supply will be good for the foreseeable future. The NORTEL BCM will continue to be supported for the next 6 years, with one more software revision expected. The T7316E sets work on both the Nortel BCM and CICS/MICS platforms so expect a supply channel to remain for these. This is important because there are hundreds of thousands of small businesses all over the world using these NORTEL systems.  The big NORTEL Meridian Option PBX enterprises switches are being retired but this is no surprise because AVAYA's biggest moneymaker is their DEFINITY and OneX enterprise (big biz and big gov.) systems. 

(NORTEL is known for its very durable and long lasting products.  Lets hope some of this Canadian northern backwoods rugged build transfers over to AVAYA products as well!)
