Trunk/Line dataInstaller password required
Trunk/Line data allows you to program settings for lines that affect how the 
Norstar communicates with the public network and other switches. Line 
data allows you to determine how lines (including target lines) will be used 
in the Norstar system.
Some Trunk/Line data settings may not appear on the display during 
programming, depending on the type of trunk. Those that appear for a 
given Trunk type are indicated in the following table.

Copying Trunk and Line data
At the Trunk/Line data ˆ display COPY appears. This allows you to copy 
programming from one line to other lines.
Trunk typeInstaller password required
Trunk type shows the type of Trunk Cartridge or BRI Card on which the 
line is found. It can be Loop, BRI-ST, BRI-U2, or BRI-U4.
Tip - In copying data from a physical trunk to a target 
line (or the other way around), only the data in common 
is copied. For example, copying a target line to a loop 
start trunk will not copy the Rec’d # setting because that 
setting is unique to target lines.
If you try to copy line programming between lines on 
different types of Trunk Cartridges, the display shows 
Incompatible TC, then returns to Show line:. You 
cannot copy programming between lines on different 
types of Trunk Cartridges.
The Received number of a target line is a unique number 
and cannot be copied.
Tip - This display is determined by the Trunk Cartridge 
or BRI card. The system simply displays the trunk type; 
you cannot change the setting.

Line typeInstaller password required
This setting specifies how the line is to be used in the system. Press CHANGE 
to select the setting: 
Public, Private to:, or Pool (A to C).
A public line can be accessed by more than one telephone.
A private line can be assigned only to one telephone and  the prime 
telephone for that line. Use 
CHANGE and the dialpad to enter the 
internal number of the telephone.
If you try to make private a line that is answered by CCR (an Auto 
Attendant feature) or used for transmitting alarm codes, you will be 
asked if you wish to reconfigure the line before it is made private. 
Private lines are not available for use with CCR and alarm code 
reporting.
Pool assigns the line to one of the three line pools. If a line is assigned 
to a line pool, but is not assigned to any telephone, that line is available 
only for outgoing calls.
Tip - Try to avoid putting unsupervised loop start lines 
in a line pool. These lines can become hung, especially 
when a remote user uses the line pool to make an 
external call.
Before a line pool can be used you must assign line pool 
access to telephones in 
Line Access under 
Terminals&Sets, and create system-wide line pool 
codes in 
Access Codes under System prgrming.
A telephone can be administered to search automatically 
for an idle line from several lines appearing on the 
telephone. Assign a line pool as the prime line 
(in 
Line Access) and all the lines in the line pool to 
appear on that telephone. When the user lifts the 
handset or presses the handsfree button, any one of the 
lines, if idle, can be selected by automatic outgoing line 
selection.

Dial modeInstaller password required
Dial mode allows you to specify whether dual tone multifrequency 
(DTMF) or pulse signalling is used on the trunk.  
Press 
CHANGE to select the setting: Tone or Pulse.
Prime setInstaller password required
This feature allows you to assign a telephone to provide backup answering 
for calls on the line. Unanswered calls are redirected to the prime telephone 
if DRT to prime is set to Yes. 
Press 
CHANGE and the dialpad to enter the internal number of the prime 
telephone.
The default prime telephone for each line is 21.
Tip - When you set prime line to I/C (intercom), the 
system chooses the first available line after searching 
the line pools, starting with line pool A.
You cannot assign target lines (061-086) to a line pool.
Tip - Each line can be assigned only one prime 
telephone.

Auto privacyInstaller password required
This feature controls whether one Norstar user can select a line in use at 
another telephone to join an existing call. The default setting is Privacy on, 
so that nobody with a Norstar telephone can press a line appearance on 
their telephone to join a call in progress at another telephone. 
Press  
CHANGE to select the setting: Y (on) and N (off).
Trunk modeInstaller password required
Trunk mode allows you to specify one of two modes of operation for each 
line: disconnect supervision or unsupervised. Disconnect supervision, also 
referred to as loop supervision, releases an external line when an open 
switch interval (OSI) is detected during a call on that line. This prevents the 
line from remaining unavailable for other Norstar users.
Press 
CHANGE to select the setting: Unspr or Super.

Unspr turns disconnect supervision off for the line.

Super (the default) assigns supervised mode, if supported by the line; 
otherwise, the line functions as unsupervised.
Tip - Users can change a line privacy setting for an 
individual call using the privacy feature (
²¡Ü).
Tip - The duration of an open switch interval (OSI) 
before Norstar disconnects a call is programmed by the 
Discon timer setting under Hardware programming. 
Disconnect supervision is required for loop start trunks 
to operate in auto-answer mode or with DISA. It is also 
required to conference with two external callers.
The line must be equipped with disconnect supervision 
from the central office for the 
Super option to work.

Ans modeInstaller password required
The Answer mode setting appears on the display during programming for 
loop start and BRI trunks if the Trunk mode setting is 
Super. 
Press 
CHANGE to select the setting: Manual or Auto.
Ans with DISAInstaller password required
When activated, the Answer with DISA setting specifies that a trunk is 
answered with stuttered dial tone. 
Press 
CHANGE to select the setting: 
Y (Yes) or N (No).
Tip - Remember that disconnect supervision is 
required if loop start or BRI trunks are to operate in 
auto-answer mode. 
Tip - This setting only appears if Answer mode is Auto.

Aux. ringerInstaller password required
This setting allows you to turn the auxiliary ringer on or off. When turned 
on, the auxiliary ringer rings for any incoming calls that ring on the line. 
The auxiliary ringer is an optional device that must be connected by the 
installer. 
Press 
CHANGE to select the setting: Y (Yes) and N (No).
Full AutoHoldInstaller password required
Full AutoHold on idle line is a variation of the Automatic Hold feature. If 
you select an idle line, but do not dial any digits, that line is automatically 
placed on hold if you then select another line. 
Press 
CHANGE to select the setting: N(No) or Y(Yes).
The line you first selected is held until you press the corresponding  line 
button. The line is not available for use by anyone else.
Tip - An auxiliary ringer can be programmed, 
(
Services in Ringing Service) to ring for a line placed 
into a scheduled ringing service. An auxiliary ringer can 
also be programmed to ring for calls to a telephone. See 
the Compact ICS 6.1 System Coordinator Guide for 
more information.
If you have an auxiliary ringer programmed to ring for 
calls on an external line, and you transfer a call on that 
line without announcing the transfer, the auxiliary ringer 
will ring for the call transfer.

LossPkgInstaller password required
Loss Package allows you to select the appropriate loss/gain and impedance 
settings for each line. The setting is based on the distance between the ICS 
and the terminating switch, and the terminating switch type. 
 The following table shows the available settings. 
A loss of 4 dB corresponds to a cable length of approx. 2700 m (9000 ft.).
Press 
CHANGE to select the setting: MediumCO, ShortCO, LongCO, 
ShortPBX or LongPBX.
Tip - The default setting should be changed only if Full 
AutoHold is required for a specific application. For 
instance, if you define system-wide access keys (SWCA) 
for telephones, Full AutoHold must be active on those 
telephones for the feature to act correctly.

Rec’d #Installer password required
The Received number setting applies only to target lines (line numbers 061 
to 086). It allows you to specify the digits which make a specific target line 
ring. The default value is None.
Use 
CHANGE, and the dialpad to program the digit string for each target line.
Tip - This setting applies only to lines connected to a 
Global Analog Trunk Cartridge (GATC) with LS/DS (or 
LS/DS Analog Trunk Cartridge). It does not apply to a 
GATC with CLID Trunk Cartridge.
When measuring the distance from ICS to CO and from 
ICS to PBX, use 600 ohms as the termination resistance 
setting.
Tip - A Received number can be two to seven digits 
long (programmed in 
System prgming). The default 
length is 2. 
A received number cannot be the same as, or be the 
start digits of a line pool access code, a destination code, 
the DISA DN or the Auto DN.
If you are configuring auto-answer BRI trunks to map to 
target lines, the received number should be the same as 
the Network DN supplied by your service provider. The 
call will be directed to the prime telephone for the 
incoming line if the Network DN is not used.

If busy
Target lines can be programmed to give a busy tone if all telephones with 
appearances of the target line are engaged. Busy tone only works for BRI 
trunks. You can change this default setting to transfer the call to the Prime 
set. Programming is performed in
 Line data under Lines. 
Press 
CHANGE to select the setting: To prime or BusyTone.
Distinctive ring
You can program one of four levels of distinctive ring patterns (DRP) to 
lines (None, 2, 3, 4). The higher the DRP, the higher the priority calls have 
when they come in on that line. This feature works in conjunction with ring 
patterns set on individual telephones and for Hunt groups.
Name
The default name for a line is ‘Line’ and its three-digit number (for 
example, Line001), but it can be changed to any combination of letters and 
numbers to a maximum length of seven characters.
For more information see the Compact ICS 6.1 System Coordinator Guide.
Restrictions
Preventing a user from using a line for making certain kinds of calls is 
performed under 
Restrictions. For example, users should not be able to 
make long-distance calls on lines used exclusively for local calling.
Restrn filters
A restriction filter is a set or group of restrictions and overrides that specify 
the external numbers or feature codes that cannot be dialed from a 
telephone or on a line. Rather than define individual restrictions and apply 
them repeatedly to telephones and to lines, restriction filters allow you to 
assign them in one step as a single package of dialing sequences that are 
not permitted.
