MICS Shopping List Help

[kalrith123]

Hey guys, I am attempting to order the necessary hardware for a MICS 7.1 system. The location has a T1 for voice and roughly 30 T7316E headsets. Is there anything you can tell is missing? Anything I don't need? Any help is appreciated guys this is my first attempt at ordering a phone system.

Nortel Norstar Modular ICS (MICS) KSU w/7.1 Software

Nortel Norstar 6 Port Slim Fiber Combo Service Cartridge

Nortel Norstar Digital Trunk Interface Cartridge (DTI / T1)

Nortel Norstar Analog Station Module (ASM)

Also in order to get caller id on incoming calls do I need the following? How many of them?

Nortel Norstar Caller ID Global Analog Trunk Card

Thanks, let me know if you need any additional information to help.

Are you going with a standard T1 or a PRI? If it is PRI the your caller id is automatic (you'll need a PRI keycode). If you go T1 then you have to make sure your carrier offers Inband ANI. Most do now so you should be alright. If they are copper trunks then yes you'll need the CLID Trunk card (it does 4 trunks).

You could always just go with a bcm50 with an expansion

Hawks - Standard T1, How many trunks would we have if we have a standard T1? Other then the list above is there anything else we will need to get?

Phoneguy - What is the benefit of going with a BCM? What would we need to purchase to go with a BCM route? How many phones/lines can the BCM50 handle? Will it work with our current Standard T1?

Thanks guys.

I believe the only way to get "caller id" is via a T1 E&M.

You'll need two 66 blocks wired with 25 pair cables.
