In this article i will i h0pe t0 sk3wl jo0 in other types of switches/pbx's
other than 1AESS and centrex. It's 2000 now,and businesses are still cheap and
looking for the most reasonable product that still can support their needs.
Enter Norstar. Their products are being used by millions of people, from more
than 80 countries as the center of their business communications systems. It
provides businesses sophisticated features that are easy to learn and gives them
the flexability of adding new services/options to their system as their
bussiness grows. The Norstar Integrated Communications System (ICS) is the heart
of their business's communications system. Depending on the size and the needs
of the business, the type of Norstar Integrated Communications System system
will vary from a...
-Compact 3x8
-Compact ICS
-Modular ICS
Each switching product comes with software packages that can distribute
calls, track billable activity and generate reports on incoming and outgoing
telephone calls. Every Norstar ICS allows you to use applications such as
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and Computer-Telephony Integration
(CTI). Also, as the size of the business increases, the ICS can still fit the
bussines's needs by the use of expansion cartridges and trunk modules. Even
though each system comes with its own standard features and options,as your
needs grows so you can your Norstar ICS because the Compact ICS can be upgraded
to a Modular ICS easily.

* Compact 3x8
************
The Compact 3x8 system is the ideal telephone system for small bussinesses.
Even though its the simpler of the 3,the Norstar Compact 3x8 is still a flexible
and dependable switch. It can be expanded to 3 lines and 8 extensions and offers
a wide range of features. The Compact 3x8 also works seamlessy with the Norstar
telephones's built-in LCD Windows by providing the user with instructions on
using the switch's features. Also like all of the Norstar ICSs, the Compact 3x8
simplifies communications by making the task of transferring calls easy,allows
paging, discriminates ringing to distinguish between internal adnd external
calls and even has a conference feature to allow another employee to enter the
conversation. Yet those are just the standards, because of Norstar's flexible
design, adding more software and hardware options for your business's needs are
made easy. You can add software like a SMDR (Station Message Detail Recording)
to track your calling activity. Or hardware like an Analog Terminal Adapter to
connect modems, fax machines, and other analog devices without the need for a
dedicated line. As a small company a 3x8 is their best bet to gain an advatage
over your competitors.
