Look at "Electronic Brandlining" in the Features and Services NTP. Abitlity to do this is an orderable option that you may not have equipped on your system.

Speaking of which, is there any way to change that on 2616's?

Electronic Brandlining

Introduced in X11 Release: 23

The Electronic Brandlining (EBLN) feature enhances the display
functionality of Meridian Modular sets. This feature allows the second line on
the idle 1 display screen of a Meridian Modular set to show a custom display.
The display screen of a Meridian Modular set contains two lines with 24
character spaces on each line. Previously, the second line on the display
screen of an idle Meridian Modular set was blank. With the Electronic
Brandlining feature, however, a custom display is shown left justified on the
second line of the idle display screen.

Incremental Software Management

A new Incremental Software Management (ISM) parameter is introduced
with the Electronic Brandlining feature. This ISM parameter is used to
transfer custom display information from the Order Management System to
X11 software. The Electronic Brandlining ISM value is copied from the
appropriate tape/keycode/file into X11 software during sysload. The X11
software then sends the custom display to the display screen of a Meridian
Modular set.

The Electronic Brandlining ISM value contains one of the following:
-- a Terminal Text Broadcast customized text string value
-- a default value
The value of the Electronic Brandlining ISM parameter determines the
content of the Electronic Brandlining custom display.
1. Previous to the Electronic Brandlining feature, when a Meridian Modular set is in the idle state,
only the time and date is shown on the first line of the display screen and the second line is blank.

Overlay 22 is modified to print the Electronic Brandlining ISM parameters.
When REQ = SLT (Print System Limits: Incremental Software Management)
in Overlay 22, the ISM parameters and system limits are printed. The printing
of the Electronic Brandlining custom display output is added after the ISM
parameters, if applicable. For Option 11C, ISM keywords are printed, in
addition to the ISM system limits.

Option 11C and Input-Output Disk Unit with CD-ROM (IODU/C) customers
can deliver ISM parameters via keycode. A keycode is a machine-generated
digitally signed list of customer capabilities and authorized software release.
A security keycode scheme protects ISM parameters.
In order for Option 11C and IODU/C customers to expand ISM limits, they
must order and install a new keycode. This installation is performed using the
Keycode Management feature. All Keycode Management commands are
executed in Overlay 143. To make the expansion effective, the customer must
sysload. For further information on keycode installation, please refer to

Software conversion procedures.
For customers without Option 11C or IODU/C, ISM parameters are delivered
as per existing operation.
For further information on ISM, refer to the Incremental Software
Management feature module in X11 features and services.
Custom Displays
The Electronic Brandlining feature provides the following two custom
displays:
-- Terminal Text Broadcast Customized Text
-- Default “NORTEL” or blank display
Terminal Text Broadcast Customized Text
When the Electronic Brandlining ISM parameter is equal to the Terminal
Text Broadcast value, the customized brandline to be displayed is initially
defaulted to NORTEL. This brandline can then be configured to display a
different customized brandline.

X11 features and services
The customized brandline can have a maximum of 24 characters, each of
which must be supported by the North American Meridian Modular set
display firmware. Version 18 firmware supports 7-bit ASCII Roman
characters and 8-bit non-ASCII Roman characters (See Tables 38 and 39).
Alphanumeric and punctuation characters are supported.The customized
brandline is configured on a system basis (Overlay 17).

In addition to displaying a customized brandline, the Terminal Text
Broadcast functionality can also be used to broadcast a customized text string
on the idle display screen of a Meridian Modular set. The text string can have
a maximum of 24 supported characters (See Tables 38 and 39). The
customized text string is configured on a system basis (Overlay 17).
The customized text string can be composed of a single blank space. In this
case, the second line of the idle display screen is blank, as per existing
functionality.

To enter the customized brandline or text string in Overlay 17, use one of the
following methods:
-- Enter a line of supported characters followed by a Carriage Return
(<CR>) at the IDLE_DISP_STRING prompt in Overlay 17.
--Enter a valid character one at a time using either a supported character or
its two digit hexadecimal representation at the IDLE_DISP_CHAR
prompt in Overlay 17. The end of input is indicated when only a <CR>
is entered or when the 24th character is entered.

Default Electronic Brandlining Display

If the Terminal Text Broadcast custom display is not chosen, then the
Electronic Brandlining ISM parameter value indexes into a default brandline.
The default brandline is “NORTEL”, the Meridian Modular set manufacturer
(Northern Telecom). This default brandline is displayed left justified on the
second line of the idle display screen of a Meridian Modular set.
The default brandline is enabled/disabled on a system basis (Overlay 17).
When the NORTEL_BRAND prompt is set to NO, the second line of the idle
Meridian Modular display screen is blank, as per existing functionality.

You can turn off the "Nortel" name regardless of if you purchased the VERY $$$$$$ brandline option in LD 17 gate opener PARM prompt Nortel_Brand --- set this to No.

I agree with jack Idea you may change the name of Idle set display
thru LD 17 you may see this promp:
MLDN YES
MARP YES
IPIE NO
FRPT NEFR
DCUS 1
DTDT NO
MSCL 200
PMSI
MANU PMS1
PMCR 0
PORT NONE
NDIS 20
OCAC NO
MTRO MR
SBA_ADM_INS 000
SBA_USER 000
BCAP SPEECH

ICON YES

Just change the nortel networks name.

As long as this thread has been resurrected the info. on the change is basically correct although the ability to change it is now included -- Rls. 3.0 and above -- at now additional fees.

You still need your 2nd level password to change this.
