CallPilot on Local Area Network

Did you know the Nortel Networks CallPilot voicemail is designed to be integrated with your Local Area Network?

While it's not a requirement for proper operation, there are two benefits to having the CallPilot on your network.

1. Management:  You can perform almost all the necessary administrative tasks for the CallPilot via the Norstar Telephone set (feature 983, 985, 982, etc).  But, having a graphical user interface can make some tasks feel more intuitive.  Also, there is reporting available inside the CallPilot which is only available via the computer connection.

2. The Norstar Call Pilot has a few applications for users' desktop which are designed to work with the users' voicemail box (but only if the CallPilot is on the network).

If you're interested in getting your CallPilot on your local network, check out my how-to video:

Entering Configuration Programing mode

A little experiment here. I'm going to show you with a Video how to enter the Norstar programming mode at the CONFIG level.

*** CAUTION: unlike the ADMIN programming which is fairly benign that I showed you in an earlier blog, the CONFIGURATION programing mode has the potential to de-stabilize your system if you are in there making changes without the proper knowledge or guidance.
