PC Console 1.1 -> Windows software for Norstar MICS? How?

[Sum1Guy]

I see references to something called PC Console 1.1 user manuals which seems to be some sort of Windows software for managing or interacting with some Nortel telecom product. Was this software usable with the Norstar MICS KSU? Was there *ever* anything that allowed a Norstar MICS KSU to be interfaced to a PC (dos or windows) as a way to manage / program / configure it? If so, how did the PC connect to the KSU?

Edit: Would this software use the "FastRAD" box to talk to a MICS KSU? If you don't have the PC Console 1.1 software, but instead you have the "Norstar Remote Utilities", can you do anything useful with that software (in terms of configuring your KSU) ?

Yes but PC Console is for the user, read the Introduction on the guide you found for the list.

"Was there *ever* anything that allowed a Norstar MICS KSU to be interfaced to a PC (dos or windows) as a way to manage / program / configure it?"
Yes
8X24 = Norstar Manager 3.5/3.7
MICS = Norstar Remote Utilities

"Would this software use the "FastRAD" box to talk to a MICS KSU?"
Yes

"If so, how did the PC connect to the KSU?"
Via the RAD and a 9 pin serial cable.

"can you do anything useful with that software (in terms of configuring your KSU) ?"
Backup and Restore, Remote Agent, Excel Offline Programming or Acquiring programming on KSU and come with Norstar Voice Mail Manager for NAM voice mails.

Do you need the KSU to be running a particular version of software (firmware) to be able to use the Rad and the Norstar Remote Utilities software? (ie - will it work with MICS 3.0 ?)
