hundred powerful features, like an integrated

Benefits
Remarkable
Scaleability
With
the Norstar Compact ICS, it’s easy to integrate
your choice of valuable Norstar Applications,
such as Voice Mail for accurate and prompt message
delivery. Or Fax Messaging to retrieve faxes wherever
there’s a fax machine and to provide immediate
round-the-clock fax responses to routine inquiries.
Even Computer-Telephony Integration (CTI), which
can streamline your work and improve call efficiency
by enabling phones and computers to work together.
Start
with the solutions you need now, then add other
applications when you’re ready. The Norstar
Compact ICS is flexible, expanding with your business—
easily and cost-effectively. Because of its building-block
design, you can start with 4 lines and 8 stations
or 4 lines and 16 stations, and grow to 8 lines
and 24 stations with software and system expansion
cartridges.
What’s
more, the Compact ICS shares many components,
including Norstar telephones and some system hardware,
with the Modular ICS. So when you’re ready
to grow even more, you can easily migrate to the
Modular ICS. That’s one way Norstar protects
your investment, reducing your cost of ownership.

Integrated
Automated Attendant
When
your receptionist is overloaded or away from the
desk, calls may go unanswered or must be covered
by another person, taking them away from other
responsibilities. The integrated Automated Attendant
in the Norstar Compact ICS efficiently answers
and transfers incoming calls 24 hours a day, enhancing
your business image and customer service.
Back
High-speed
Communications
The
Norstar Compact ICS supports high-speed communications
over Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
Basic Rate Interface (BRI)—allowing you
to get, move, and use the information you need
quickly and efficiently—to keep your business
moving ahead. ISDN supports several applications
your business needs, like:
High-speed
Internet access
Faster credit or debit card approval
CTI applications for increased personal productivity
and improved customer service and more.
See ISDN Advantages for more information on
how Norstar and ISDN can help you get, move,
and use information quickly and efficiently.
In
many areas one ISDN BRI line can be less expensive
than 2 business phone lines, so ISDN can help
you decrease your business communications expenses.
Back
Internal
Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA)
To be as flexible as possible businesses need
to be able to connect additional communications
devices, such as fax machines, modems, cordless
phones, and credit card terminals to their phone
system. With one internal ATA you can connect
any analog communications device to the Norstar
Compact ICS without the expense of a dedicated
line or additional hardware. Additional ATAs can
easily be added if you need more.
Back
Future-Ready
Platform
With
the Norstar Compact ICS you won’t have to
worry about replacing your system to take advantage
of evolving communications technologies. The open
