The first version of Norstar Remote Utilities, introduced in 1996, expanded
Norstar’s remote administration portfolio. The NRU software application is installed
on a windows-based PC located at a central administration site or at the phone
system site. The NRU software on the PC and the Norstar ICS communicate
through a Remote Access Device (RAD). A RAD must be installed at each of the
phone system sites
Norstar Remote Utilities can be used on-site with Norstar systems if the PC is
equipped with RS-232 serial communications port. In this case, a modem is not
required. However, a Norstar RAD must be attached to a station port on each
Norstar system to allow communications Between the PC and individual Norstar.
The RAD acts as a modem and communications Interface to the internal Norstar
system.
