The Nortel NT8D17CA is a conference and TDS card for the Meridian 1. TDS stands for tone and digit switch: the function that produces dial tone, ringing tone, busy tone and outgoing digits, packaged on the same card as the system conference bridges. Variants within a part number differ by release, and sometimes by connector or impedance option, so it is worth checking the suffix against your own equipment first.
Meridian 1 is Nortel’s large enterprise PBX family, later continued as Communication Server 1000. A system is built from common equipment, network and peripheral shelves, with intelligent peripheral equipment cards providing the line, trunk and service circuits. A great many are still in daily use, and they are maintained by replacing individual cards.
