Meridian Phone Madness: How to Identify Your Meridian Telephone

Meridian means many things to many people. When people tell me they have a Meridian phone, they feel like they have fully identified their product and that our discussion can spring forward from there. Not so.

Unfortunately, Nortel and Northern Telecom used ‘Meridian’ across much of their product line. If you have a Northern Telecom or Nortel phone system in your office, it may say Meridian on it. You still need to figure out what the real model number is as well as what system it is running on.

Nortel Networks, Nortel and Northern Telecom have made Central Office phone switches that provide phone lines, Centrex, T-1’s, and PRI’s. They also make Norstar and Meridian phone systems for business offices.

Identifying your phone is the first thing you need to when you want to expand your system or replace a bad phone.

Look at the bottom of the telephone for a model number such as M7324, M7310, M7208, M7100, T7316, T7316e or T7100. Any of these identify it as part of a Norstar phone system.

Meridian, Option One and SL-1 PBX’s have phones such as M2008, M2616D, M3901, M3902, M3903, M3904 and M3905. Nortel and Aastra also have Meridian phones. Some of these are M5316, M5208, M5008, M5312, M5216, M5212, M5209, M5112, M5009, M9417CW, M9316CW, M9110, M9116, M9120, M8004, M8009, and M8314.

If you don’t find model number, look for the part #. It will almost always begin with NT for Nortel or Northern Telecom or an A if it’s Aastra. This is followed by several more alphanumeric characters.

Remember, Meridian labelled phones may be on a Norstar system, a Meridian PBX or as part of your Centrex.

I hope this helps you identify your Meridian phone.
