The Nortel NT8D17HCE5 is a Meridian 1 conference and tone and digit switch card. It provides the conference bridges the system uses for multi party calls and generates the tones and outpulsed digits the switch needs, so it is a common equipment card rather than a line or trunk circuit. Release and revision suffixes vary within this part number, so tell us the system it is going into and we will confirm the exact unit we hold.
The Meridian 1 range, including the Option 11C, 51C, 61C and 81C, dominated large UK and European PBX installations for two decades and plenty are still running. Cards are slot specific and generation specific, so maintenance is done at card level with matched spares rather than by swapping systems.
