Services that have been turned on automatically are indicated 
by an asterisk (*) before the name on the display. You can 
neither manually activate nor cancel scheduled services, 
although you can override them by manually turning on 
another schedule.
The control telephone can override Services that are turned on 
and off according to a schedule at any time by entering a 
Services feature code, and selecting a different schedule. This 
override remains in effect until it is canceled. If you select a 
schedule with an asterisk (*), the next automatic service 
schedule comes into effect at the programmed time. 
Direct-dial calls to a direct-dial telephone ring at the extra-dial 
telephone only when you enter the Ringing service feature 
code (²¡àÚ) at that direct-dial telephone. Note that 
only the extra-dial telephone is activated, not the actual 
Ringing service. This is the case unless that direct-dial 
telephone is a control telephone. The extra-dial telephone is 
designated by your installer or customer service 
representative.
There is a Service active in your system. 
Press 
¥ or LIST to view the active 
Services.
For other displays, see Common feature displays on page 247.
Tip - Norstar provides six service schedules named Night, 
Lunch, Evening, Sched 4, Sched 5, and Sched 6. Your installer 
or customer service representative can change these names to 
suit your business.

Using passwords
Your passwords prevent unauthorized or unintentional 
changes to your Norstar system. To keep your telephone 
service secure, distribute the password only to selected 
personnel or make use of the basic password described below. 
Record your password in a secure place and change it 
periodically.
If you forget the administration or basic passwords, you 
cannot do any programming. Call your customer service 
representative to assign a new password.
The password is a one to six-digit number. It is advised to 
make your password at least six digits long for security 
reasons. If you press CHANGE
 but do not enter a new password, 
the existing password is erased. Anyone can then access 
programming without a password.
The default System Coordinator password is , 
which is the same as ÛÜßÝß.
One password cannot be a subset of another one. For example, 
you cannot have 123 and 12345.
Using a Basic password
In addition to a System Coordinator password, there is a Basic 
password. This allows you to delegate some of the duties of 
being a system coordinator to someone else without allowing 
access to sensitive programming. 
The default Basic password is  or 
ÛÛàÝÛ. 
						

							Using System features / 215
P0992640 03 Modular ICS 6.0 System Coordinator Guide
You can enter the Basic password after the following feature 
codes:
²¥¥ èêäå to access User Preferences) 
² ¥¥æé÷ä to change the system time and 
date)
Because the Basic password can be used to change the time, 
you should give it out with care and change it when necessary, 
for example, when an employee leaves the company. If 
restrictions, routing or other services operate on a schedule, 
changing the time can allow someone to bypass the 
programming.

Companion portables to the Norstar system. See the Modular

You can reach the direct-dial telephone by dialing a single 
digit. The direct-dial telephone is usually in a central location, 
such as at the desk of an administrative assistant or attendant. 
You can have up to five direct-dial telephones for your Norstar 
system. It is usually the prime telephone or the central 
answering position (CAP).
The direct-dial telephone can send up to 30 messages and can 
invoke Services to activate the extra-dial telephone.
You cannot forward calls to a direct-dial telephone that is 
outside your Norstar system. See Making changes to Call 
Forward No Answer on page 36.
Note:  ISDN terminals cannot use the Direct-Dial digit to 
reach a Direct-Dial set.

A hotline telephone calls a preset internal or external 
telephone number when you pick up the receiver (or press the 
button marked Handsfree/Mute).
Bypassing a Hotline
Press a line button, or use the Pre-Dial or Automatic Dial 
feature before you pick up the receiver or press  the button 
marked Handsfree/Mute on a hotline telephone. See the 
Tip  - The digit you dial in order to get the direct-dial 
telephone to ring can be programmed by your installer or 
customer service representative.
The Norstar system cannot verify that the number you assign as 
an external direct-dial telephone is valid. Check the number 
before assigning it as a direct-dial telephone, and call the 
direct-dial telephone after you’ve assigned it in order to test it. 
Tip -  Label the telephone to inform anyone using it that 
Hotline is active.
