CAP assignmentInstaller password required
This setting designates a telephone as a  central answering 
position (CAP). The CAP must be an M7324 telephone, and 
may have one or two CAP modules attached. A maximum of 
five CAPs can be installed in a Norstar system.
The CAP may be used to:
monitor the busy/not busy and Do Not Disturb status of 
Norstar telephones
answer external calls on up to 120 lines, and extend calls 
to other Norstar telephones
send up to 30 messages to other Norstar telephones
provide up to 96 extra memory buttons for the M7324 
telephone
Tips - There is just one direct-dial digit for the entire 
system.
The Norstar system cannot verify that the number you assign 
as an external direct-dial telephone is valid. Check the 
number before assigning it, then call the direct-dial telephone 
after you’ve assigned it to test it.
You cannot forward calls to any direct-dial telephone that is 
outside your Norstar system. For more information, refer to 
the Modular ICS 6.0 System Coordinator Guide.

Use ≠, CHANGE and the dialpad to enter the internal 
number of the M7324 telephone to be designated a CAP.
Dialing PlanInstaller password required
The dialing plan acts as a system directive that determines how 
a number will be dialed out by the system. This feature works 
with enbloc dialing, and, therefore, is only used for PRI lines.
The Dialing Plan has these features:
allows public or private routing for network calls
private routing allows the choice of either the uniform 
dialing plan (UDP) or a coordinated dialing plan (CDP)
allows enbloc dialing by buffering user-dialed digits until 
a complete DN has been dialed. Enbloc dialing is a 
requirement for PRI.
provides the ability to map user-dialed digits to a service 
type on a Call by Call basis
allows incoming calls to be routed according to the service 
type and the digits received
DN lengths (enbloc dialing)
The Private DN Length must be set to the number of digits 
users dial to reach other nodes in a private network. The 
Private DN Length parameter is used by the PRI trunk to 
Tips - If CAP modules are attached to an M7324 
telephone that has not been programmed as a CAP, then no 
CAP settings are assigned. If a CAP module is relocated with 
the M7324 telephone, the settings are retained. 
A station auxiliary power supply (SAPS) is required for 
M7324 telephones that have one or more CAP modules 
attached.

determine when a complete number has been dialed. The 
PSTN DN Length Table is used by the PRI trunk to determine 
when a complete PSTN DN has been dialed. Entries in the DN 
Length table consist of two fields: Prefix and DN Length.
Defining dialing plans:
At System prgrming/Dialing plan:
1. Press ≠. Private Network:None displays.
2. If you are defining a dialing table for a private network, 
press ≠. Refer to Private networks on page 413.
If you are defining a dialing table for external (public) DNs 
for a network, press ‘. Refer to “Public 
networks” on page 415.
Private networks
Private network: None
Choosing this setting turns off MICS functionality.
1. At Type:None, press ‘. 
Priv DN len:4 displays.
2. Press CHANGE
 to choose a new private DN length. (3-14)
TIP - You do not need to use a Private DN Length if you are 
using the coordinated dialing plan, as the system identifier is 
part of the set DN.

Private network: CDP
If your dialing plan needs to use steering codes to navigate to 
other networks, specify a coordinated dialing plan (CDP).
1. At Type:None, press CHANGE 
until CDP displays.
2. Press ‘. PrivNetID:1 displays.
3. Press CHANGE
, and enter a new private network id.
Note:  If you are specifying a private network that has been 
created using SL-1 (MCDN) lines, the private network 
id is part of the set DN (for instance, system A might 
have DNs from 3201 to 3299, whereas system B might 
have a DN range starting with 2, such as 2201 to 2299). 
However, you must enter a number, so enter the number 
that appears first on the set DNs.
This code is defined by the network coordinator and 
must be unique to each system.
4. Press ‘. Priv DN len:3 displays.
5. Press CHANGE
 to choose a new private DN length. (3-14).
Note:  The Private DN length must match the DN lengths 
being used by the other systems in the network. This is 
what enbloc dialing uses to determine when the 
complete number has been dialed.
Private network: UDP
If your dialing plan will be using Location codes to navigate to 
other systems, specify a uniform dialing plan (UDP).
1. At Type:None, press CHANGE
 until UDP displays.
2. Press ‘. PrivNetID:1 displays.
3. Press CHANGE
, and enter a new private network id.
4. Press ‘. Loc code:None displays.

5. Press CHANGE and use the dialpad to enter a location code.
Note:  This code must be unique to your system.
6. Press ‘. Priv DN len:3 displays.
7. Press CHANGE
 to choose a new private DN length. (3-14)
Note:  The Private DN length must match the DN lengths 
being used by the other systems in the network. This is 
what enbloc dialing uses to determine when the 
complete number has been dialed.
Public networks
When you identify public DNs on a network, use the Dialing 
Rules to define any prefixes that need to be dialed out. The 
public network refers to connections to the public switching 
network (PSTN).
1. At Public Network, press ≠. 
Pub DN lengths displays.
2. Press ‘. PrivNetID:1 displays.
3. Press ≠. Show prfix: displays.
4. Press ADD
 and enter a prefix.
5. Press OK
 to accept the prefix.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the prefixes have been added.
Tip - If you want to view the prefix list, at the Show Prfix: 
display, press 
‘.
To remove a prefix, find the prefix, then press 
REMOVE.

Dial Timeout
Dial Timeout (interdigit timeout) specifies how long the ICS 
will wait between user-dialed digits. This value allows the ICS 
to determine when the user has stopped dialing. The value is 
programmed under System progrming, Dialing Plan.
The user can also use the # key to tell the ICS that they are 
finished dialing. However, this is not usually required except 
for international calls where the number of digits dialed for 
country codes varies.
With the display showing System Prgrming
1. Press ≠ then press ‘ until Dialing 
Plan displays.
2. Press ≠ then press ‘ until Dial 
timeout displays.
3. Press CHANGE
 to select a the timeout value (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 
15) in seconds.
Too small a timeout value forces the user to enter the digits 
very quickly one after the other.
Too large a value causes the system to wait for a long time 
after the last digit is entered before the call is dialed out.
For more information on non-PRI routing tables and 
destination codes, refer to Routing service on page 361.
Access codesInstaller password required
Access codes are used by the system to direct calls to the 
correct lines and destinations. If the codes conflict, some of the 
features on the system will not work. 
The table of default settings can help you plan your access 
codes so there are no conflicts.

Digits assigned by default to settings
Line pool codesInstaller password required
This setting allows you to assign a line pool access code for 
each of the 15 line pools (A to O). These codes are used to 
specify the line pool you want to use for making an outgoing 
external call.
If your system is installed without expansion cards, the DN  
default is two digits. Therefore, B1 DNs will be from 21 to 52 
and the B2 DNs are assigned from 53 to 84. The B2 DN range 
is 80 to 84. Therefore, the single digit 8 is not available for a 
line pool access code.
Use ≠, CHANGE
, the dialpad, and OK to program the 
access code. 
The default access code is 9 for Line Pool A, and None for 
Line Pool B-O.
For ISDN-PRI, see Line Pools on page 436.

Park prefixInstaller password required
The Park prefix is the first digit of the call park retrieval code 
that must be entered to retrieve a parked call. If the Park prefix 
is set to None, calls cannot be parked. 
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: 1 to 9, None, or 0.
Tips - The code can be one to four digits in length.
A line pool access code can be the same as an  external line 
access code. In this case, the line pool access code takes 
priority over the external line access code, and a line from the 
line pool is selected.
A line pool access code cannot conflict with: the Park prefix, 
the Direct-dial digit; the first digit of any Received number; 
the first digit of any DN (including the Auto DN or the DISA 
DN).
To avoid a conflict, refer to the table of default settings in the 
description of External code.
Tips - The Park prefix cannot be the same as: 
the Direct-dial digit
the External Line access code
the first digit of a DN
the first digit of a line pool access code
the first digit of a destination code
Other programmable settings may affect which numbers 
appear on the display during programming. Although the 
numbers 0 to 9 are valid Park prefix settings, some may have 
been already assigned elsewhere by default or by 
programming changes. To avoid a conflict, refer to the table 
of default settings in the description of External code.

External codeInstaller password required
External code allows you to assign the external line access 
code. This code is used to allow M7100, T7100 sets, and 
Analog Terminal Adapters (ATA2) to access external lines.
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: 0 to 9, or None.
Direct-dial #
Installer password required
Direct-dial digit allows you to dial a single system-wide digit 
to call a specific telephone, called a direct-dial telephone.
If DN length is changed, and the changed DNs conflict with 
the Park prefix, the setting changes to None.
SWCA note: If you want to use system wide access (SWCA) 
keys on your system, you must specify a Park Prefix to turn on 
the feature.
Tips - The external line access code cannot conflict with:
the Park prefix
the direct-dial digit
the first digit of a line pool access code
the first digit of a DN
the first digit of a destination code.
If DN length is changed, and the changed DNs conflict with the 
Park prefix, the setting changes to None.

Auto DN
Installer password required
For calls answered without DISA, no password is required to 
access the Norstar system. The  Class of Service (COS) that 
applies to the call is determined by the COS for the trunk on 
which the user is calling.
1. Use CHANGE
 and the dialpad to enter the digits to be 
received from the auto-answer trunk. 
2. Press CLR
 to set the Auto DN back to None.
Tips - Another direct-dial telephone, an extra-dial 
telephone, can be assigned for each schedule in Services 
programming. The direct-dial digit cannot be the same as the 
first digit of:
a DN
a line pool access code
the external line access code
the Call Park prefix
the first digit of a destination code
If DN length is changed, and the changed DNs conflict with the 
Park prefix, the setting changes to None.
Tips - The length of the Auto DN is the same as the 
Recd # length specified in
 System prgming.The Auto DN 
is cleared if the Received number length is changed.
The Auto DN cannot be the same as a line pool access code or 
a destination code.
