Hey Guys,

Thanks in advance for providing me some help.

I have a Norstar MICS system that I installed in my home 15 years ago. I have 4 Phone Lines, 20 7324 Handsets and 2 Doorbell Module.

I overzealously bought a used BCM50 system off of Ebay to upgrade to update the house with some IP phones.

The used system I bought came with:

BCM50e Brain running 2.0.2.05e

GATM4 Module
GATM8 Module
2 - DTI Module
2 - DS32 Modules
2 - Expansion Bay units
4 - 1140
2 - 1120
6 - 1004
6 - 7316

I believe for my home I only need to use the Brain and a DS32 in a single expansion bay.

So I plugged in the brain, and a POE switch and got a couple of the 1140 phones to light up, and a 7316 to turn on.

I then plugged a computer into the OAM port, installed Element Manager 62.0.5 and was able to connect to the system.

When I logged into the system it shows no Key Codes installed....

The phones system is obviously used, and supposedly came out of a working installation. So shouldn't there be key codes for the equipment ?

If Keycodes were purchased for this individual phone system, can they be retrieved?

Will my 2 door modules work with the phone system as it stands now or does it need a newer software?

If the keycodes have been lost, where is the most cost effective place to get keycodes ?

If I want to run a system with 12-14 digital stations and 4-6IP phones, no voicemail - what key codes do I need to purchase.

Thanks again for any help and pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks
