I am retired and need to generate additional income. I sell and install primarily Avaya systems. Recently I have been given an opportunity to repair/refurbish a quantity of Nortel Meridian 5316 and 5216 telephones. I have on hand a Meridian M8X24-DS Key Service Unit with a Centrex card installed. I have a portable dial tone generating piece of equipment.
Question: How can I test the above mentioned phones? When I plug in the phone using the proper P transformer all I get is the Model Number in the screen then the date comes on. I can access the menu screen but that is all. I cannot get dial tone to come up on any of the buttons.
I know this is a Centrex ACD phone. Do I have to pay to get a Centrex line into my shop in order to properly test?
Thanks for any help anyone may offer.
Dave
