Extl VMsg set
If you subscribe to a voice message service, you can access 
that service through your Norstar system. The external voice 
message setting controls where the indicator shows up when 
there is a voice message waiting on a particular line. The line 
must be assigned to appear on that telephone. 
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: N (No) or Y (Yes).
To find out if your voice message service will work with 
Norstar, or if you have any problems with your service, contact 
your voice message service provider.
1stDisplay
Depending on the services you subscribe to, Call Display 
information may contain the number of the caller, the name of 
the line in your Norstar system that the call is on, or both. For 
each telephone, you can determine which information is 
displayed first. 
Tip - In order for a telephone to display the Call Display 
information for calls on an external line, it must also be 
programmed to appear and ring or ring for that line.
For systems that subscribe to Call Display services, Caller ID 
can be viewed on any telephone by entering the Call 
Information feature code 
²¡ÚÚ. See the Telephone 
Feature Card or Modular ICS 6.0 System Coordinator Guide 
for more information.
Call information does not automatically appear when the 
telephone has an Answer DN, or belongs to a Ring group 
activated by Ringing Service. Call information is still available 
for these calls by pressing 
²¡ÚÚ.

Press CHANGE to select the setting: Name, Numbr or Line.
Called ID
Called ID allows you to see the extension number and name of 
the set being called on the display. The Called ID set for target 
lines is the same set that has appearance on that target line. 
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: N (No) or Y (Yes).
Log space
Log space determines the number of items that can be stored 
in the Call log for each telephone. 
Use ≠, ADD
 and REMOVE to redistribute the log space. 
There is no log space assigned by default. 
Tips - The Call Information feature is used to display and 
toggle between the name and line number used for Call 
Display information. Refer to Modular ICS 6.0 System 
Coordinator Guide for more information.
You may see 
Unknown number on the display if the 
information is not available from your telephone company. 
You may see
 Private number on the display if the caller 
blocks that information.
Tips - There must be space available in the log pool in 
order for you to add space to a Call log. The maximum number 
of spaces available is 600.
System-wide log space allocation is performed in Call log 
space under 
System prgrming. If you want to allocate the 
same log space to all telephones, use the Call log space setting 
instead.

Lines
This chapter describes the settings that allow you to determine 
how the lines coming in and going out of the system will be 
assigned.
Lines, whether physical or virtual, are the connecting threads 
that allow users access into and out of the Norstar system to the 
public network or to other private networks.
Lines can be pooled so a number of sets of have access to more 
available lines, or they can be assigned specifically to one set. 
There are also a number of ways that a set can be configured 
to access line pools and special lines like tie lines and private 
network lines. 
Trunk/Line data
Trunk data allows you to program settings for lines that affect 
how Norstar communicates with other switches. These 
settings also allow you to determine how lines, including 
target lines, will be used in the Norstar system.
Some Trunk 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 Trk/Line data display COPY appears. This allows you 
to copy programming from one line to other lines.
Trunk type
Installer password required
The Line setting shows Loop, DID, PRI, BRI-ST, BRI-U4, 
BRI-U2, E&M, Ground or Fixed.
Tips - 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 an E&M trunk 
copies only the Line data settings because there are no Trunk 
data settings for a target line.
If you try to copy line programming between lines on different 
types of Trunk Cartridges, the display shows 
Incompatible Cd, 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.
Tips - Changing the settings for a trunk type on a system 
that is in use, may cause calls to be dropped.
Tips - You can only change this setting  for lines connected 
to a DTI. For all other lines, such as analog lines and BRI 
lines, the trunk type is determined by the Trunk Cartridge type. 
The system simply displays the trunk type; you cannot change 
it. To change the Trunk Cartridge or BRI Card, see Hardware 
on page 455.

Line typeInstaller password required
This setting specifies how the line is to be used in relation to 
other lines in the system. 
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: Public, Private to:, or 
Pool (A to O, representing 15 line pools) or PRI-A or PRI-B.
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.
Pool assigns the line to one of the 15 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.
Enable Trunk Cartridges
If you disable any Trunk Cartridges to perform 
programming, enable them now using 
Module status in Maintenance or your system 
will not function properly. See 
Module status on 
page 495
 for information on enabling Trunk 
Cartridges in Module status.
Tips - Line pools must never contain a mixture of loop start 
lines and E&M lines. All E&M lines in a given line pool should 
go to the same location.
Try to avoid putting unsupervised  loopstart  lines in a line pool. 
These lines can become hung, especially when a remote user 
uses the line pool to make an external call.

P0992638 03Modular ICS 6. 0 Installer Guide
There are two more programming settings that must be 
assigned before a line pool can be used:
You must assign line pool access to telephones in 
Line access programming.
You must assign system-wide line pool access codes in 
System prgrming.
Line connected to a DTI
Installer password required
The Line setting shows the trunk type for a line. 
For lines connected to a DTI, press CHANGE
 to select one of 
these settings: Loop, E&M, DID, Ground, Fixed, PRI.
Loop is used for loop start trunks
E&M is used for the first two line numbers on E&M trunks
DID is used for direct inward dialing trunks
ground is used for groundstart (T1) trunks
Tips - 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
 Lin eaccess) and all the lines in the line pool must 
appear on that telephone. When the user lifts the receiver or 
presses the button marked Handsfree/Mute, any one of the 
lines, if idle, can be selected by Automatic Outgoing  Line 
selection.
Tips - E&M Trunk Cartridges have two E&M lines and 
two DTMF receivers (instead of four lines as in a Loop Start 
Trunk Cartridge). For example, if an E&M Trunk Cartridge 
has the range of line numbers 049 to 052, numbers 049 and 
050 are E&M lines, and numbers 051 and 052 are the DTMF 
receivers. The display for line 050 appears as
 
Line050:E&M 
and for line 051 appears as 
Line051:DTMF
.

PRI is used for ISDN-PRI, which includes the SL-1 
MCDN protocol for networking.
Dial mode
Installer 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:  Pulse or Tone.
Tips - Changing the settings for a trunk type on a system 
that is in use, may cause calls to be dropped.
When assigning lines to line pools, consider your network 
configuration. You may be able to create a unified dialing 
plan by assigning lines to the same location to the sa me line 
pool on each of your systems. For example, if system A and 
system B each have tie lines to system C, assign the tie lines to 
pool D on each of the systems.
If you plan to program the prime line as I/C (intercom) for 
some telephones, you may wish to assign loop start lines to the 
first line pool. Remember that when the system searches for an 
outgoing line, it begins at line pool A and chooses the first 
available line.
Assigning a single E&M trunk to a line pool allows features 
like Ring Again to help manage access to a shared resource.
You cannot assign target lines (157-284/348) to a line pool.
Tips - For DID and E&M lines connected to a DTI, the 
Tone setting does not appear if Signal is Immediate.

Rec’d #Installer password required
The Received number setting applies only to target lines. 
Target lines are: 157 to 284 for MICS 6.0, and 157 to 348 for 
MICS-XC 6.0. 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.
If busy
When a call is received on a target line that is already busy, 
you can choose if the caller gets a busy tone or if the call is 
forwarded to the prime set. 
Busy tone only works for PRI and BRI trunks on target lines. 
Programming is done in Line Data under Lines. Press CHANGE
 
to select one of these settings: To prime or BusyTone.
Tips - A Received number can be three to seven digits 
long. It is programmed in 
System prgming. The default 
length is three for all systems.
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.

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. 
Use CHANGE
 and the dialpad to enter the internal number of the 
prime telephone.
The default prime set for each line on a system with three-digit 
DNs is 221
.
Auto privacy
Installer 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 either: Y (on) or N (off). 
Note:  This feature does not work on target lines or PRI lines.
Tips - For auto-answer trunks, calls ring only at the prime 
telephone for a trunk, and only when overflow call routing is 
active.
Each line can be assigned only one prime telephone.
Tips - Users can change a line privacy setting for an 
individual call using the Privacy feature (
²¡Ü).
