History Information
"The value your
business will gain from Norstar will be apparent immediately. You will
notice and appreciate the difference and more importantly, so will your
customers".
Norstar is the
brainchild of Northern Telecom. Northern telecom is a 104 year-old
company. Originally, Northern Telecom was an extension of Bell Canada.
After spending millions and millions of dollars on Research &
Development Northern Telecom came up with the Norstar family of business
phone systems. They wanted to create a new breed of small to medium
sized business telephone system, but with the look, feel and application
of some of the more sophisticated (more expensive)
PBX
systems.
Norstar
was quickly a hit. The customer could purchase a Telephone system with
telephones that did not look so 70s' and 80s'. The customer liked the
fact that they were getting a glimpse of what the future of phones would
look like without sacrificing functionality and reliability. Another
great reason for Norstar popularity was the display on all the phones.
The telephone user could program the phone with ease. In fact, the whole
phone system could be programmed from one phone with the help of the the
LCD. No lap tops or intricate programming terminals were need.
One
other selling point for the Norstar Business Phone system was the
interchangeability of the telephone sets. The telephone sets that make
up the Norstar family are as follows:
- M7100:
This a single line telephone set specifically designed for the
Norstar System. It is usually used in conference rooms and break
or guest rooms. Another good use for this phone is in a
telemarketing room. Any place where it is necessary to only dial
out and not receive alot of phone calls. It has a Liquid Crystal
Display, has a feature button and a hold button. It is also wall
mountable. Its colors are Ash, Gray and Black.
- M7208:
This telephone is a 6 line telephone has the capability of 6
lines, intercom button and a speakerphone button. It is mostly

and number that you are dialing. It will also tell you who is
calling with-in the office and Caller ID is applied, it will tell
you who is calling and their phone number.
- M7310:
This phone is considered the most user friendly of all the Norstar
phones. Like its sister the M7208 it has a two-way speakerphone,
Liquid Crystal Display and can be wall mounted. However this phone
has an 8 line capability, 24 one-touch speed dial buttons at the
top and a two line LCD. The two line LCD has soft keys underneath
to easily glide the user through their tasks. The 24 speed dial
buttons are for several different conveniences. The user can
program each button for one-touch internal auto-dial, external
auto dial or programmable features that would usually require
three to four pushes of buttons.
- M7324:
The M7324 telephone set is best used as a console phone for medium
sized to large companies. It has 22 buttons with lights next to
each button. This allows the user to have up to 22 lines viewed on
the phone. Another good application is to program the extra
buttons as other extension numbers. This will allow the user to
see who is on the other phones in the office and to handle calls
more efficiently. It is also a two-way speakerphone and can be
wall mounted. The phone can be expanded to have more line buttons

buttons to the M7324. It requires a separate power supply, called
SAP unit.
- M7410:

Phone System. It is basically an M7310 but with a cordless
handset. Also, all the functions of the M7310 with the exception
of the speed dial buttons are on the handset of the M7410 Cordless
phone. It was designed not so much for far reception as
for cordless convenience around the the user work area.
Realistically, it is good for about 70 feet from the base,
depending on the work environment. The replacement cordless
phone is the T7406.
