166 CHAPTER 9: 3COM LEGACY LINK CARDS ■ You must install a license on your NBX system before the system will recognize Legacy Link Cards. See "NBX Licensing" on page 56 for information on the number of Legacy Link cards supported by an NBX system. ■ The maximum loop length is 1000ft (300m). ■ The supported Norstar handsets are the M7000 Series and T-Series models: M7100, M7208, M7310, M7208N, M7310N, M7324, T7100, T7208, T7316, T7406 (digital cordless). ■ When connected to the card, the Norstar handset reflects the features and functionality of the NBX Business Telephone. For details of specific phone model features and capabilities, see the Legacy Link for Norstar Handset Compatibility and Overview. ■ The Norstar phones are line-powered from the card through an external power source. No additional phone power is required. ■ The 3Com Legacy Link cards do not support compression. Voice traffic between a legacy handset and an NBX device that supports compression will be uncompressed. ■ Handsets connected to the card can be configured through the Button Mappings page of the NBX NetSet utility. You can configure each phone individually, but 3Com recommends that you use the Telephone Groups option within the NBX NetSet utility to define a group with specific button mappings for each telephone type, which can then be re-used for any number of phones. ■ The Norstar Handset Overview document is available from the 3Com web site. It compares the differences in operation of the Norstar handsets, including button mapping and default layouts. ■ Quick reference cards are supplied with the 3Com Legacy Link for Norstar card. You should replace the existing Norstar Quick Reference Cards (situated under the handset on the Norstar phone) with the new 3Com Quick Reference Cards provided. ■ Templates for Norstar Key Cap Labels and Norstar Phone Quick Reference Cards can be obtained at www.desi.com. Adding a Legacy Link Card to an NBX System When you unpack your Legacy Link Card, be sure you receive, in addition to the card, an external power supply. You connect the power supply to the front of the Legacy Link Card after you install it into an NBX chassis so
