4.6. Nortel Meridian 1
The Nortel Meridian 1 is a full-featured PBX that can provide thousands of
ports and many PBX voice and data features. The Meridian 1 uses digital
signaling to control its station sets and digitized voice. The PBX uses plug-in
station modules to connect to station sets, and trunk modules to connect to
trunk lines.
The Dialogic

can be connected directly to a station module in a Meridian 1. The switch has
many standard features that are supported by the PBX Integration Board, such
as:
• direct inward dialing (DID)
• hands free operation (for MWI ON/OFF operation only)
• speed dialing
• hunt groups
• message waiting indication
• user programmable Feature Keys
• called/calling number identification
• call forwarding
