The Norstar Programming Record
The Programming Record can be used to help you plan your 
programming strategy. If you enter all your settings on the 
tables provided, you create a quick reference guide to your 
system.
Pages from the record may be photocopied, as necessary, for 
programming many telephones or lines. Additional 
Programming Records can also be ordered from your vendor.
Exiting
Norstar stores your changes automatically as soon as you alter 
any settings. If you changed something in error, you must 
re-enter the correct data.
In extreme situations, you may have to restart the system and 
reload with your backup material.
To exit the configuration interface, press ®. The display 
briefly reads End of session, then returns to the Date and 
Time display.
Viewing your programming updates
If any changes you made to programming have not taken effect 
yet, you will see an UPDATE
 display button when you leave 
programming. The display will show you how many 
telephones have not been updated yet because the system is 
busy with other programming or the telephone is in use.
Press DNs to see the specific telephones where programming 
changes have not been updated. Items will disappear from the 
list as they are updated, and UPDATE
 will disappear once all 
changes are complete.

Entering numbers
Numbers are entered from the telephone dialpad. The 
backspace display button may be used to edit the number.
A line number must always be entered as a three-digit number. 
Line numbers from 10 to 99 must be entered with a leading 
zero (line 020, for example). Similarly, line numbers less than 
10 must be entered with two leading zeros (line 002, for 
example).
Internal telephone numbers, also referred to as directory 
numbers (DNs), can be from three to seven digits long. The 
default DN length is three. The DN length can be changed in 
programming.
Viewing long telephone numbers
External telephone numbers can be up to 24 digits, but the 
telephone display is only 16 character spaces long. To see a 
previously-programmed number that is longer than 16 digits, 
do the following:
Begin, for example, with 123456789012345…. The display 
shows only the first 15 digits. The three dots (…) at the end of 
the display indicate that more digits remain to the external 
number.
1. To see the remaining digits, press VIEW‚
.
2. To see the first 15 digits again, press ·VIEW
.

Setting up User Preferences
The User Preferences feature allows you to program memory 
buttons, speed dial codes, and other settings for any telephone 
on the system.
For example, an employee may want to have the Do Not 
Disturb feature programmed onto a memory button or create a 
speed dial code. Instead of programming from the target 
telephone, you can program these features from another 
telephone. 
To set up user preferences, refer to User prefernces on page 
338.

Copying telephone programming
Copying is done by using COPY under Terminals&Sets. You 
can copy programming from one telephone to another 
telephone, to a range of telephones, or to all telephones.
1. At Terminals&Sets ˆ, press ≠. 
2. Enter the internal number (DN) of the telephone from 
which you wish to copy programming. 
3. Press COPY
.
4. Select what programming will be copied:
•SYSTEM – the system administration programming 
(system data) of a telephone
OR
•SYSTEM+USER – the system administration 
programming PLUS the programming for a particular 
telephone (user data)
See the tables starting on page 308 to see which settings 
will and will not be copied with system and user data.
5. Press ‘, then press C
HANGE to select the 
telephone or telephones which will be programmed with 
the copied data: SINGLE, RANGE, ALL.
You can copy programming to telephones which are not 
yet hooked up to the system (unequipped). 
6. Press ‘, then CHANGE
 to select which telephones 
will be programmed: Only equipped DNs, All set DNs. 
This is not necessary when copying to a single telephone.

7. Press ‘ and enter the internal number of the 
telephone that will be programmed or the internal numbers 
of the first and last telephone in a range. 
8. Press OK
 to proceed with the copy. 
This step is not necessary when you are copying to a single 
telephone.
You can also use COPY
 to duplicate the settings found in the 
individual subheadings. The button is available in Line 
access, Capabilities, User prefernces, Restrictions 
and Telco features and will copy only the settings included 
in the subheading.
If you press COPY
 in one of these subheadings, you will not be 
asked to decide if user data will be copied. Otherwise, the 
procedure is the same.
Tips - To copy to a group of telephones which are not part 
of a range, follow the steps for making a single copy and keep 
entering new numbers at the Copy to: display.
Depending on the activities going on in the system, a copy may 
not take effect immediately. The brief display you see once you 
have finished a copying session does not indicate the process 
is complete. 
You can leave the programming session even if the copy has 
not been completed. If you exit programming, the system 
continues copying, uninterrupted, until it is complete.
Event messages capture both the start and completion of the 
copying process. For more information, see Event messages 
on page 541.
Tips - Some programming settings allow you to choose a 
delay according to the number of rings. The ring counts used 
are based on a North American standard of six seconds per 
ring cycle. The actual delay time may be different for a device 
other than a Norstar telephone.
