Nortel T7316e Offers Dependable Telephone Service

By Jill Faulkner


The Nortel T7316E is a business class telephone for multiline use. It provides full features to be used in a business and can operate with up to two lines. This unit has bee a favorite in many companies for several years and is considered one of the most dependable of such systems.

The telephone display is a two line LCD unit. Each line can display up to 16 characters. The unit is menu driven using the three soft keys to operate the phone. Additionally, there are 24 memory buttons available, the majority of which allow multisegment icons. The model is specifically designed to meet the needs of those who have a high call volume, including supervisors, executives and managers or other business professionals.

Installer reviews show this to be one of the best models available over the past few years. It offers compatibility with several different phone systems. The clear display can be customized by users. A quick reference card includes instructions to program the unit in order to meet the user's specific needs.

One of the most appreciated features of these phones is their durability. They continue working after falling off a counter or desk. They are also a good choice for extreme conditions such as encountered in warehouses and shops where temperatures would quickly disable other telephones.

Users of the Norstar 3x8, CICS or MICS PBX systems will find these units directly compatible. They offer an indicator allowing users to know if outgoing lines or extensions are available before the handset is picked up. In addition, caller ID and voice mail are supported.

Users of these handsets find the speakerphone feature allows them the ability to multitask with hands free operation of the set. This allows one to enter data into a computer or to take notes of important information from the caller. In addition, this feature is great for allowing those out of the office to call into a meeting.

Although most users will place the device on a desktop, they also offer the option for a wall mount to keep the desk space free. The adjustable LCD screen allows for easy viewing using either mount. Sets work for wall mount using either a special phone jack cover or with the traditional jack and cord threaded through a slot allowing for flush mounting against the wall.

Although the devices are known to be durable and reliable, consumers should be aware that their manufacturer is no longer in operation. Most consumers will not find this to make a difference in their use of the system or phones. However, they should be aware that manufacturer customer support is no longer available for the units.

When one needs to expand a PBX system used in a business, the addition of a Nortel T7316E is a durable office telephone. It supports multiline PBX systems and may be used with the handset, as a speaker phone or with a wireless headset. It offers features designed specifically for those spending much of the day on the phone. While no longer being manufactured, there are many remanufactured devices available that can provide years of service.
