Software keys
Some of the MICS system features require special pass codes, 
called software keys, to make the feature work. This section 
describes each of these options. To obtain the required 
Software key, call the Integrated Voice Response (IVR) 
Center at: 1-800-4NORTEL (667835), then use Express 
Routing Code 1599.
ISDN-PRI
A software key is required so that you can configure a DTI 
card as a PRI card.
MCDN
To create a private network using MCDN or tandem linking, 
you need a PRI key and a key specific to MCDN.
Companion (MICS-XC only)
Software keys are used to activate Companion components on 
systems running the MICS-XC 6.0 software. See the Modular 
ICS Companion Installer Guide for more information. 
You will need to provide the following information: 
the System ID of the Norstar ICS

Hardware
Hardware is where you view and change settings for cartridges 
installed in the ICS, Trunk Modules, Station Modules, and 
Data Modules.
Show module
Installer password required
The Show module setting automatically displays the modules 
connected to the system. Press ‘ to select the setting: 
KSU, Mod 03, Mod 04, Mod 05, Mod 06, Mod 07, Mod 08.
Note: MICS-XC has 14 modules.
Cards on KSU
Installer password required
The Cards on KSU setting allows you to specify the type of 
Trunk Cartridges in the ICS. 
Press ‘ to select the setting: T1, PRI, BRI-U4, BRI-
U2, BRI-ST, E&M, DID, or Loop.
Note:  KSU is also known as the Integrated Communication 
System (ICS).
Loop is the default setting used for Loop Start and Call 
Information (CI) Trunk Cartridges. 
Select the T1 or PRI setting for DTIs cards.
Tips - You cannot change this setting unless you first 
disable the Trunk Cartridge using 
Module status in 
Maintenance. Remember to enable the Trunk Cartridge 
once you have completed programming. See Module status on 
page 495 for details. The Trunk Cartridge slots in the ICS are 
numbered from right to left.

Modular ICS 6.0 Installer GuideP0992638 03
Once you specify the type of Trunk Cartridge in the ICS slot, 
press ≠ to display the range of line numbers for the 
lines on the Trunk Cartridge.
Provisioning the DTI card for PRI
The Cards on KSU setting allows you to specify the type of 
Trunk Cards in the ICS. 
Note:  Remember, you require a software password to activate 
PRI on your system. 
Start with the display showing Hardware.
1. Press ≠. The display shows Show module.
2. Press ‘. The display shows Cards on KSU.
3. Press ≠. The display shows Cd1-KSU:
4. Press CHANGE
 to view the different cards: T1, PRI, 
BRI-U4, BRI-U2, BRI-ST or Loop.
5. Select PRI. The display shows Clear line data.
6. Select Y (Yes) to confirm your selection.
For more information on provisioning cards see Hardware 
on page 455.
Selecting a protocol
Now that the DTI card has been provisioned as PRI (or is 
already part of the system) you can select a protocol.
With the display showing PRI
1. Press ≠.
2. Press  ‘ until the display shows Protocol:.

3. Press CHANGE to select a different protocol from the table 
that follows:
If you selected the NI-2 protocol, and you are using call-
by-call services, you must specify how Norstar should 
handle the NSF (Network Specific Facilities) information 
element as follows:
Press ≠. 
Press ‘ until the display shows the default 
protocol NSF EXT: None.
Press CHANGE
 to select another setting based on your 
switch type, as shown in the following table:
4. Press ‘. If the display shows Clear Routes, 
press Y (yes) to confirm your selection.
Protocol Type

Note: This will not display unless 
you have entered the MCDN 
software code.
Central Office NSF Extension Setting
DMS100 None
Siemens ESWD, Lucent 5ESS WATS
GTD5, DMS10 ALL
The Network Specific Facilities (NSF) information element is used to 
request a particular service from the network.
When you select 
NONE, the NSF extension bit is not set for any 
service.
When you select 
WATS, the NSF extension bit is set for 
unbanded OUTWATS calls.
When you select 
ALL, the NSF extension is always set for all 
CbC services.

BchanSeq
B-channel sequence allows you to select either ascending or 
descending. You need to choose the opposite setting of your 
service provider. 
However, if all lines for two DTI cards (configured as PRI) are 
in the same PRI pool, then both cards must be set to use the 
descending B-channel sequence mode. As a result, the service 
provider must use ascending mode
Press CHANGE
 to select either ascending or descending.
Call-by-call routing
By default, incoming calls are routed based on the Called Party 
Number. You program the received number length to include 
however many digits your system requires. This many digits 
from the end of the called party number are then used as 
Received Digits to find a target line.
For example, the incoming calling party number is 
800-555-1234. The received digit number length is 4. 
Therefore, 1234 is used to route the call.
Depending on the protocol and the service, alternate routing 
maps may be defined. 
To change the incoming call routing for a service, with the 
display showing Protocol:, do the following:
1. Press ‘ until the display shows CbC Routing.
2. Press ≠. The display shows FX:. 
Press NEXT 
to display a different service.
Note:  The display shows the first applicable service for the 
given protocol, in this example the service is FX.

P0992638 03Modular ICS 6. 0 Installer Guide
3. Press CHANGE to change the mapping that is applied to 
incoming calls of this service type to obtain the received 
digits. In all cases, the received digits are used to find a 
target line or to activate Remote Access.
None — No mapping is applied. The received number 
length determines the number of digits of the Called Party 
Number which will be used as received digits. 
Note:  If there is no called party number, which may occur 
with some FX calls, the call will ring at the incoming 
trunk Prime set.
All — Allows you to define the received digits used for all 
calls with this service type, regardless of the called party 
number or service identifier (SID). For this option, all calls 
with this service type on this PRI will ring the same target 
line. 
Map table — Allows you to associate different received 
digits with different calls of this service type, depending 
on the call party number and/or the service identifier. 
Incoming calls that do not match any entry defined in the 
map table will ring at the prime set. Depending on the 
service type and the protocol, you may be able to map the 
called party number and the service identifier. 
The following table shows the different options.
