Tip - When programming a button to dial a 
Network number automatically (autodial), network 
calls must be treated as external numbers, even though 
they resemble internal extension numbers.
Routes generally define the path between the Norstar 
system and another switch in the network, not other 
individual telephones on that switch.

Data Solutions
Examples of ISDN Scenarios
For information on various ISDN scenarios that may help you to decide on 
the data solution that is best for you, refer to the following web site: http:/
/www.nortelnetworks.com/support and perform a Search for TIPS. You 
will need your user name and access code.
If you do not have a user name and access code, the site  provides 
information about how to get access to this site.
ISDN applications
ISDN terminal equipment delivers a wide range of powerful business 
applications:
Video conferencing and video telephony
Video conferencing offers instant visual and audio contact between distant 
parties using either studio-based or desktop ISDN terminals.
Desktop conferencing
ISDN allows computer users in distant locations to share and edit any 
image, data or text file on their own computer screens while they discuss 
the information.
File transfer
The ISDN network allows you to transfer files containing data, text, 
images, data, or audio clips, faster and cheaper than with a conventional 
modem.

Telecommuting
Convenient retrieval, processing and storage of files is possible for the 
employee working at home by using ISDN lines to give high-speed access 
to information resources at the office.
Group 4 fax
ISDN fax applications save money by increasing both transmission speed 
and the quality of resolution.
Remote LAN access
ISDN provides an affordable and fast means for employees at remote sites, 
such as at home or in branch offices, to access local area networks (LANs).
Leased line backup
Essential backup for leased lines can be provided using ISDN as required, 
rather than duplicating costly permanent leased lines.
LAN to LAN bridging
Local area network (LAN) bridge/routers allow flexible interconnection 
between LANs using ISDN, with charges only incurred when information 
is actually transmitted.
Internet and database access
The fast call set up and high bandwidth of ISDN are ideal for accessing 
information services such as the Internet and databases.

Location requirements
Œclean, dry, and well-ventilated to allow free airflow 
Œminimum clearance of 150 mm (5 in.) above and 100 mm (4 in.) below 
the ICS
Œthe gap between the ICS and the wall should be left completely clear 
to allow proper heat dissipation
Œtemperature between 0°C and 50°C (32°F and 122°F)
Œhumidity between 5% and 95%, non-condensing
Œminimum distance of 4 m (13 ft) from equipment such as 
photocopiers, electrical motors and other equipment that can produce 
electromagnetic, radio-frequency, and electrostatic interference
Electrical requirements
Œnon-switched, unobstructed outlet within 1.5 m (5 ft) of the ICS
Œdedicated 110 V - 120 V ac nominal, 50/60 Hz, 15 A minimum service 
with a third wire safety ground to provide shock protection and avoid 
electromagnetic interference  
ŒThe ICS power cord is 1.5 m (5 ft) long. You may connect the ICS to 
a power bar with a maximum length of 2 meters (6.5 ft), including 
power bar. The power bar must be approved by an appropriate 
National Test Body, with a third-wire ground. Do not use an extension 
cord between the ICS and the power bar, or between the power bar and 
the electrical outlet.
Risk of electric shock.
The safety of this product requires connection to an outlet 
with a third-wire ground. Use only with three-prong power 
cord and outlet.

Internal wiring requirements
Norstar loop
Œone, two or three twisted-pair cable(s) per telephone
Œdc loop resistance of less than 64 Ω
Œcable length (0.5 mm or 24 AWG) less than 300 m (975 ft)
Œuse of a station auxiliary power supply (SAPS) for loops 300 m (975 
ft) to 1200 m (3900 ft). The SAPS must be a Class 2 power source that 
is approved by an appropriate National Test Body.
Œno bridge taps
ISDN S reference point (S Loop)
Œno longer than 1000 m (3,200 ft) for point to point
Œno longer than 450 m (1,475 ft) on a point-to-multipoint extended 
passive bus
Œno longer than 100 m (300 ft) for 75 ohm cable or 200 m (600 ft) for 
150 ohm cable on a point-to-multipoint short passive bus
Wiring for the S reference point (S loop) should conform to ANSI T1.605. 
Wiring for the ISDN U reference point (U loop) should conform to ANSI 
T1.601.
Verify lightning protectors.
Check the lightning protectors at the cable entry point to the 
building with special attention to the grounding. Report any 
problems to the telephone company, in writing.
Equipment that is designed to be connected using internal 
wiring is typically not lightning protected. Norstar 
telephone equipment and ISDN S loops and T loops 
should not leave the building where the ICS is installed.
