Conference Bridge for Norstar System

[TecTel]

Does anyone have experience with a conference bridge that would work on a Norstar ICS 032 system?
My customer would want to conference 5-6 outside lines.
Info on where to get it would be helpful also.

There is a conference bridge made by forum communications called The ConferII, that I've installed and it seems to work really well with the Norstar. Their website is forum-com.com, you might want to check it out it looks like they came out with a newer unit called The ConferIII.

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. When you connected it to a Norstar system did you need a VMI for disconnect supervision?

No, actually you need ATA's and Forum will recomend some that work best with their equipment. If I remember correctly MCK makes the ATA's that they will recomend.

They have new Confer III product out. A bit better than the II because it will take up to 8 callers and allow the bridge to be split for 2 groups of 4 when necessary.
