Converting Norstar plus MICS to server based pbx

[vdub909]

Hello I have a norstar-plus MICS and need to replace the KSU, I am thinking of upgrading to something newer but most solutions involve going VoIP. I want to use my existing coper lines and phones, and have servers I can use. Is there a solution to use our PRI, server and current nortel phones? If I need to buy equipment its not a problem but I don't want to have to go VoIP if I can avoid it. Alternatively if there is a different solution that wont cost 30,000 like I was quoted, it would be great. Thank you!

You have two choices if you want to reuse your phone.

E-Metrotel UCx or Avaya. Both have forums here. You can of course just get a new (reconditioned) KSU if this one is failing.

The Nortel BCM is also an option, and gives you the capability of VOIP if you want to use it in the future.
