but this can be changed under Feature 
settings in System programming.
Alpha tagging:  This is a system 
feature that allows you to receive CLID 
displays for incoming calls that match 
numbers and names on your System 
speed dial list on telephones that have 
been configured to receive CLID.
Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA):  
A device that permits the connection of 
analog telecommunication devices  such

incoming calls  for other  telephones, and 
answer those calls when necessary.
One telephone can have up to eight 
Answer buttons. An Answer button is 
automatically assigned to a telephone 
when that telephone is assigned an

that, if programmed, provides one-touch 
dialing of external or internal numbers.
Autolog options:  
²¥¡Ý
A feature that allows you to select the 
type of calls that are stored in your Call

programming when it is plugged into a 
different Norstar modular jack. 
Automatic Telephone Relocation is 
enabled under Set relocation in System 
programming.
auxiliary ringer: A separate external 
telephone ringer or bell which can be 
programmed to ring when a line or a 
telephone rings. An auxiliary ringer may 
be programmed to ring only when the 
system is in a particular schedule. 
Programming of an auxiliary ringer is 
done in Services programming after the feature has been enabled under 
Capabilities in Terminals and Sets 
programming.
AWG: American wire gauge.
B
B channel (Bearer channel): An 
ISDN standard transmission channel 
used for voice or data transmission.
Background Music: A feature that 
allows you to hear music from the 
speaker of your Norstar telephone. It is

ISDN interface that uses two B channels 
and a D channel (2B+D). 
Bearer channel: See B channel.
Business series terminals These 
terminals were developed to replace the 
Norstar M-series terminals. Therefore, 
their functionality closely parallels the 
M-series terminals. 
busy lamp field (BLF):  A device 
with a liquid crystal display (LCD) 
panel of indicators that shows the status 
of up to 24 telephones in the Norstar 
system.  The BLF attaches to the M7310 
telephone. 
button caps:  Interchangeable plastic 
caps that fit over the buttons of Norstar 
telephones. They are used to indicate the 
features programmed onto each 
programmable memory button. Button
