Startup programming
After the hardware has been installed and powered up, use 
Startup to initialize the system, and select the system template 
that best suits your system.
Performing Startup
1. Enter the Startup access code from a programming set, by 
pressing  which is the 
same as ²¥¥à¡Ûà¡¡à.
To be accepted, the Startup code must be entered no later 
than 15 minutes after the Norstar system has been powered 
up. 
If 15 minutes have elapsed since you powered up the 
system, turn system power off and on and wait for the 
system to power up again.
2. Enter the Installer password. 
The default is ‚¯öìéí which is the same as 
ÛßßÜÝÝ.
Startup erases programming.
Startup erases any existing programmed data, 
and resets the system to factory defaults.
Tip - Ensure that you have current backups of your 
system programming and logs.
All programming is retained for three days if the power 
fails or if the Norstar system is powered off. After three 
days, it may be necessary to perform Startup.

Changing the default template
After entering the Startup access code and Installer password 
the set displays Reset memory?.
1. Press YES
 to select a default template. 
The display shows the current template.
2. Press CHANGE
 to choose the appropriate template. 
Changing the starting DN 
You can change the starting number for your telephone 
directory numbers (DNs). This is helpful when your system is 
part of a network and you want to use a uniform series of 
directory numbers for all telephones in your network.
With the display showing the current template.
1. Press ‘. 
The display shows the current start DN.
2. Press CHANGE
.
Tips - The Installer password shown is the default 
normally used for Startup. For a system which has already 
been programmed, the Installer password might have been 
changed in programming and recorded in the 
Programming 
Record
.
Changing the template resets programming!
If you change your system template on an 
existing system, your programming will be reset 
to the defaults.
If this happens, perform an immediate restore 
from your backups.

3. Enter the new directory number you want as the starting 
DN, and press OK
. 
The display shows the new range of DN numbers.
4. Press ‘ to store the programming. 
The display shows Applyng template. 
This process takes a few minutes. When it is complete, the 
indicators begin to flash. When the set displays Jan 1 1:00 am. 
the initialization is complete.
The length of the directory number that you enter sets the 
length for all directory numbers. Target line received numbers 
are set to the same length when using the DID template. DNs 
can be from three to seven digits. If your system is part of a 
network, the DN length must be the same as all other systems.
A DN length change, if required, should be the first 
programming change on a newly-installed Norstar system. 
Changing the DN length
If you reduce the length of the directory numbers in 
DN 
length
 in System prgrming, the starting DN number is 
reset to the default value (221).
If you increase the length of directory numbers in 
DN 
length
 in System prgrming, each increase in length places 
the digit 2 in front of any existing DN. For example, if DN 3444 
was increased to a length of 6, the new DN would be 223444.
If the new DNs clash with the direct-dial digit, park prefix, or 
line pool codes or destination codes, those numbers are 
overridden and set to None.
Do not disable or enable ports in Maintenance 
programming during the first two minutes after Startup 
programming.

Entering programming for system coordinators
The person on staff who is in charge of making changes on the 
Norstar system is called the system coordinator. The everyday 
programming done by system coordinators is described in the 
Modular ICS 6.0 System Coordinator Guide.
Some system coordinators need to be able to program more 
advanced settings and functions in order to carry out the day-
to-day requests and upkeep of the Norstar. These coordinators 
are usually dedicated communications specialists who work 
with large Norstar systems or other telephone systems like 
PBX or Centrex.
By using a special password, a system coordinator can see and 
change many, but not all, of the programming settings used by 
an installer. In this guide, programming that can only be 
changed by an installer is marked in the heading. If you are 
programming using the System Coordinator + password, you 
will not see these items when you move through the menus. 
This level of access is documented in the Modular ICS 6.0 
System Coordinator Guide.
1. Enter the System Coordinator plus codes on a 
programming set by pressing 
²¥¥‚¯öìéí, which is the same as 
²¥¥ÛßßÜÝÝ.
The display shows Password:.
2. Enter the System Coordinator + password. 
The default password is 
SCPLUS (727587). 
The display shows Terminals&Sets ˆ. Three triangular 
indicators º appear on the vertical display between the 
rows of buttons.
3. Place the
 programming overlay over the buttons pointed to 
by the indicators º.

Entering programming using other passwords
A set of the most often-used headings and subheadings is 
available by using a System Coordinator password. Refer to 
page 281. This level of access is designed for the average user 
who takes care of the day-to-day changes to the Norstar 
system, but who is not interested in more advanced 
programming. The default password is 
ADMIN (23646).
There is also a Basic password that can be used to perform a 
few programming tasks. The default password is 
BASIC 
(22742). By using this password, a system coordinator can 
delegate some responsibilities while keeping secure more 
sensitive programming features. For more information, refer 
to Modular ICS 6.0 System Coordinator Guide. 
						

							308 / Terminals&Sets
Modular ICS 6.0 Installer GuideP0992638 03
Terminals&Sets
Terminals&Sets allows you to assign settings to each 
telephone.
This is the first heading that appears after you enter your 
password.
1. Press ≠.
The prompt displays: Show set: 
2. Enter the set number of the telephone you would like to 
program.
3. Press COPY
 to duplicate the programming for the telephone 
and apply it to another telephone, a range of telephones or 
all the telephones on the system.
For more information about copying set programming, 
refer to Copying telephone programming on page 290.
Line access
Line access allows you to assign lines to individual 
telephones. When you are finished programming Line access 
settings for one telephone, you can copy those settings to other 
telephones.
In some cases, Line access programming for Norstar 
Companion portables works differently than it does for desk 
sets. See the Modular ICS Companion Installer Guide for 
information.
PRI lines can only be configured as direct inward dialing 
(DID) lines. Therefore, PRI lines are always Auto Answer and 
cannot be Manual Answer.

Line assignment
This setting allows you to assign physical trunks and target 
lines to each telephone. Target lines are assigned and removed 
in the same manner as other lines. 
1. After you have chosen a set number, press ≠ and 
enter the line number. 
2. Press CHANGE
 to change the setting for each line to one of 
the following: Unassigned, Ring only, Appr&Ring, and 
Appr only. 
Sets that are grouped together, and that are assigned multiple 
target lines, can be set to allow ringing at all sets 
simultaneously (Broadcast ring).
Tip - When you assign line access for B RI loops which 
have only one SPID, make sure that the programming for the 
two lines on a BRI loop is identical. For example, if line 001 
on BRI loop 201 appears at a DN, line 002 on the same loop 
should appear at the DN as well. See the ISDN chapter for 
more information about programming BRI lines.
In general, auto-answer loop start trunks and auto-answer 
BRI trunks are not assigned to telephones. If assigned, they 
are used for monitoring incoming call usage, or for making 
outgoing calls.

Modular ICS 6.0 Installer GuideP0992638 03
Appearances
This setting only applies for direct inward dial (DID) digits 
mapped onto target lines.”
The Norstar system can handle simultaneous calls to a set with 
multiple target line appearances (157 to 284 for MICS, 157 to 
348 for XC). The number of target line appearances depends 
on the line assignment setting, which include: Appr&Ring, 
Ring only, and Appr only.
If Appr&Ring or Appr only is chosen, you can have as many 
simultaneous DID calls as there are target line key 
appearances. If Ring only is chosen, you can have as many 
simultaneous DID calls as you have intercom keys. 
When a trunk card is changed to PRI, all existing line 
appearances for that card are automatically removed.
The Basic Set, ATA2, portable and BRI ISDN S-terminals 
cannot process more than two simultaneous calls.
There is a suggested limit of four keys per set. You can 
program more than four keys on an set by programming less 
than four on other sets. For instance, you might program 20 
keys on a receptionist set equipped with a CAP and only three 
keys on the 20 sets connected to the CAP .
1. Enter the line number. The display shows the line number 
and its assignment.
2. Press ≠ until the display shows Appearances:1.
Users cannot access PRI lines directly 
through line appearances or line pools. All 
outgoing PRI calls are dialed via intercom 
using routing codes.
