The second PCMCIA card is either a flash card for doing backup and restores or a combination modem / backup restore card. The modem allows a technician to make system programming changes from a remote location using programming software and a dial-up modem.
I can't make it out, but are they using silver satin for station cabling?!? Please tell me they aren't. Thanks for the new video! P.S. I hope you're staying safe. Sending you good vibes and well wishes. -Kirk
It looks like it, must have been very difficult to punch down...haha If you go full screen you can see it is round multi-conductor cable. I think there are a few pieces of Satin cable between the Lighting Arrester units and the CO/Line inputs on the module.
Amazingly, there is still a tone of this stuff out there! Part of the reason is it was built so well, that it runs forever. Therefore, the cost if ownership is so low. But, those days are nearing an end. VoIP is making service and equipment costs so low, its starting to not make sense to keep these old systems anymore. Thanks for watching and commenting 😁
@@DIYTelecom I know, I'm working for europe pbx manufacturer, we still sell analog or isdn e1 cards even for our modern system dedicated for voip. But eh our 15-20 year old devices are also still used by clients.

VoIP is taking over, however, a lot of lines into companies are still analog/copper. The annoying thing, however, is if you call up AT&T and ask for a POTS line, they will usually still bring out an ATA -- and even though you get "analog", it's still piped over IP.

@@DIYTelecom Actually as I dug further I then realized that the Avaya version was introduced around May of 2003? I maybe taking possession of a system with a 2 Lucent modules and 3 Avaya modules installed in an original ATT Partner Plus backplane. The company is moving into a smaller building and not taking it with them. So I asked if could be shipped to me.

My now 10 year old Panasonic Advanced Hybrid System at home which is a KX-TA824 connected to a TA-50 voice mail. The voice mail unit has been acting strangely for the past couple years. It uses flash memory, and is proving that this is still not the most fail safe technology...
This is awesome, I spent the last 6 years replacing these, there are still so many out there.
Right? These Partners and the Norstars were built like tanks! Thats why there are still so many out there. Thanks for watching and chiming-in 😁👍

Thanks for that 411 Bob. Sounds like you’re a Veteran on those Partner systems. I only know enough to be dangerous. 😆
Thanks for the content. Interesting video
May I ask for a little assistance in understanding this technology?...especially the Avaya.

I wish I could find some information on NEC phone systems
That's some oldschool device with this compact flash card. Is avaya still selling physical pbxes?

IP Office would be the replacement for this,
@@Firespyer There is even a cloud version of IP Office.

@@Firespyer But can you buy it? Can't find it on Avaya website or anywhere online.
Is Voice over IP an Topic or even ISDN? Or is lanline in the usa just analog

ATT/Lucent/Ayaya.... Hard to believe this technology is now at least 30 years old.
Right? Those old Partners were tanks. Put them in a cool, clean environment with a UPS/Surge protector then they would probably last forever! 😄

Oh man, those Panasonics! I had a lot of experience with those in Eckerd Drug Stores!
