Electrical requirements
ånon-switched outlet within 1.5 m (5 ft.) of the ICS 
åThe ICS and module power cords are 1.5 m (5 ft.) long. 
You may connect the ICS and modules to a power bar. The 
power bar must be CSA certified and UL listed 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.
åAC outlet equipped with a third wire safety ground to 
provide shock protection and avoid electromagnetic 
interference
ådedicated 110 V AC nominal, 50/60 Hz, 15 A minimum

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.
Check ground connections.
Ensure that the electrical ground connections  of the 
power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water 
pipe system, if present, are connected together. If they 
are not connected together, contact the appropriate 
electrical inspection authority. Do not attempt to make 
the connections yourself.

Configuring Trunk Cartridges
If you plan to configure lines on a Loop Start Trunk Cartridge 
as auto-answer, you will need an E&M Trunk Cartridge for 
every two auto-answer loop start lines. The E&M Trunk 
Cartridge provides DTMF receivers for auto-answer loop start 
lines. You can install three additional Trunk Cartridges in each 
Trunk Module. The following table shows you the line 
capacity of each Trunk Cartridge.
You can install different types of Trunk Cartridges together in 
the same Trunk Module. When mixing Trunk Cartridges, use 
a separate block on the distribution panel for each type of 
Trunk Cartridge.

Configuring Station Modules
Each Station Module allows you to connect up to 16 additional 
Norstar telephones to the system.
Internal wiring requirements
The following section describes the cable required for the 
Norstar loop and an ISDN S reference point S loop.
Norstar loop
åone, two or three twisted pair cables per telephone
ådc loop resistance of less than 64 Ω
åcable length (0.5 mm or 24 AWG) less than 
300 m (1000 ft.)

Tips - The following combinations are not supported with 
the MICS 6.0 and MICS-XC 6.0 systems:
• two 2-port expansion cartridge system (four fiber ports 
total)
 a six-port and a two-port expansion combination 
(eight fiber ports total)
In a fully expanded system using 48 digital channels, consider 
installing two service cartridge functionality to prevent 
blocking of incoming calls due to lack of DTMF resources.

åuse of a station auxiliary power supply (SAPS) for loops 
300 m (1000 ft.) to 790 m (2600 ft.). The SAPS must be a 
Class 2 power source that is UL listed and CSA certified.
åno bridge taps
ISDN S reference point (S Loop)
åno longer than 1000 m (3,200 ft.) for point to point
åno longer than 450 m (1,475 ft.) on a point-to-multipoint 
extended passive bus
åno 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 ISD N   Sloops and 
T loops should not leave the building where the ICS is 
installed.

Upgrading your Norstar system
What procedure you use to upgrade your Norstar system will 
depend on what version of MICS software you are upgrading 
to.
Upgrade notes:
When making simultaneous hardware and software 
upgrades (e.g. 12-port expansion plus a MICS 6.0 software 
upgrade), upgrade your software release before making 
your hardware upgrades. 
Ensure you power up the system after the new software has 
been installed, but before any new hardware is added. 
Upgrading in this order maintains your 0X32 ICS 
programming data for use with MICS 6.0 and 
MICS-XC 6.0.
Upgrade from 4.0, 4.1 or 5.0 to 6.0
Your MICS 6.0 upgrade includes a modular CS ROM 
cartridge that contains the new software.
To upgrade from a MICS 5.0 system:
1. Power down. 
2. Disconnect all amphenol cables.
3. Remove the power to the ICS and all associated modules. 
Disconnecting the power ensures protection for electronic 
components and that the data stored in the feature cartridge 
will not be corrupted.
4. Remove the MICS (4.0, 4.1 or 5.0) CS ROM cartridge.
Note:  Your system information remains on the NVRAM unit 
that the CS ROM cartridge fits into.

5. Insert the new MICS 6.0 CS ROM cartridge.
6. Plug the ICS back into the power source.
7. Reconnect all amphenol cables.
8. Wait for the system to reboot.
Upgrade from 4.0/4.1 to 5.0
Your MICS 5.0 upgrade includes a modular CS ROM 
cartridge that contains the new software.
To upgrade from a MICS 4.0 or MICS 4.1 system:
1. Power down. 
2. Disconnect all amphenol cables.
3. Remove the power to the ICS and all associated modules. 
Disconnecting the power ensures protection for electronic 
components and that the data stored in the feature cartridge 
will not be corrupted.
4. Remove the MICS 4.0 or MICS 4.1 CS ROM cartridge.
Note:  Your system information remains on the NVRAM unit 
that the CS ROM cartridge fits into.
5. Insert the new MICS 5.0 CS ROM cartridge.
6. Plug the ICS back into the power source.
7. Reconnect all amphenol cables.
8. Wait for the system to reboot.
