Link at CO (loop trunks only)
Some exchanges respond to a Link signal (≤‡⁄) by 
providing an alternative line for making outgoing calls. 
• When Link at CO is set to Y (Yes), the system applies the 
restrictions on outgoing calls to the digits dialed after the 
Link signal, and the call on the alternative line will be 
subject to all restrictions. 
• Setting Link at CO to N (No) prevents a Link signal from 
resetting the Norstar restrictions in cases where the host 
exchange does not provide an alternative line.
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: Y (Yes) or N (No).
For more information about host signaling options, refer to 
Modular ICS 6.1 System Coordinator Guide.
Aux. ringer
This setting allows you to turn the auxiliary ringer on or off. 
An auxiliary ringer can be programmed on a line or a 
telephone. When programmed on a telephone, the auxiliary 
ringer rings every time a call is received. When programmed 
on a line, the auxiliary ringer does not ring when a transferred 
call is received. 
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: Y (Yes) or N (No).
Tips - The auxiliary ringer is an optional device that 
should be connected by the installer.
If you have an auxiliary ringer programmed to ring for calls 
on an external line, and you transfer a call on that line without 
announcing the transfer, the auxiliary ringer will ring for the 
call transfer.

Full AutoHold
Full AutoHold on idle line is a variation of the Automatic Hold 
feature. If you select an idle line, but do not dial any digits, that 
line is automatically placed on hold if you select another line. 
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: N (No) or Y (Yes).
The line you first selected is held until you press the line 
button. The line is not available for use by anyone else. 
LossPkg
Loss Package allows you to select the appropriate loss/gain 
and impedance settings for each line. The setting is based on 
the distance between the ICS and the terminating switch, and 
the terminating switch type. When measuring the distance 
from ICS to CO and from ICS to PBX, use 600 ohms as the 
termination resistance setting.
A loss of 4 dB corresponds to a cable length of approximately
2700 m (9000 ft.).
Press CHANGE
 to select one of the following settings.
Tips - An auxiliary ringer can also be programmed in 
Services to ring for a line placed into a scheduled Ringing 
service. See the Modular ICS 6.1 System Coordinator Guide 
for more information.
Tips - The Full AutoHold setting appears only during loop 
start trunk programming. Full AutoHold is always in place for 
E&M trunks, but it has no meaning for incoming-only DID 
trunks. Only change the default setting if Full AutoHold is 
required for a specific application.

ANI Number
Select whether the telephone number of the caller will be 
collected for this line. The digits can then be displayed on 
Norstar telephones as part of Call Display services. 
Press CHANGE
 to select either: N (No) or Y (Yes). 
DNIS Number
Select whether the digits dialed by an external caller on this 
line will be collected. 
Press CHANGE
 to select either: N (No) or Y (Yes).
Tips - The central office must deliver ANI/DNIS in DTMF 
mode. The delivery of ANI/DNIS depends on the network 
provider and the services they offer. This setting applies only 
to E&M and DID lines. 
For E&M or DID lines connected to a DTI, the setting only 
appears if Signal is WinkStart. For lines connected to an 
E&M or DID Trunk Cartridge, the setting only appears if 
Signal is WinkStart or Immediate.
If the conditions for signaling mode and start arrangement are 
not met, prompts are not presented to the user. No additional 
equipment is required.
Tips - This setting applies to E&M lines only.
For E&M lines connected to a DTI, this setting only appears 
if Signal is WinkStart and Ans mode is set to Manual. For 
E&M lines connected to an E&M Trunk Cartridge, this setting 
only appears if Signal is WinkStart or Immediate and 
Ans mode is set to Manual.
These digits are required for some third-party software 
applications.

Gain
Select the appropriate gain level for the line. 
Press CHANGE
 to select either: Normal or High. 
The default value Normal induces zero loss. Use it when the 
E&M trunks are connected to facilities that present 0 dBm at 
the interface for both the transmit and receive paths.
Normal gain level (0dBm)
The value High induces 7 dB of loss in the receive path and 
16 dB of loss in the transmit path. Use it when the E&M trunks 
are connected to facilities that present +7 dBm in the receive 
path and -16 dBm in the transmit path at the interface.
High gain levels
Tip - Control over the gain on transmission levels can only 
be set for lines on E&M Trunk Cartridges.

Programming distinctive ring patterns
When lines are configured on your system, they can be 
assigned one of four distinctive ring patterns (DRP). The 
default for all telephones is 1. The default for lines is None, 
which is the lowest priority.
Call ringing: When multiple calls are presented to the 
telephone, the call with the highest priority DRP setting will be 
the call that rings at the telephone. 
Call answering: When multiple calls are presented to a 
telephone, and the user picks up the handset, the call with the 
highest priority DRP setting is the call that is presented.
1. Place the programming overlay over the appropriate keys 
on your programming telephone.
2. Press ≤••¤flfl‹›› (CONFIG). The 
display shows Password:.
3. Press ¤flfl‹›› (CONFIG). The display shows 
Terminals&Sets.
TIPs - External calls always have a higher priority than 
internal calls.
If the ring type is changed on a telephone after the DRPs are 
set on the line, the line DRPs are overwritten by the telephone 
settings. 
If the line DRPs are set after telephone programming, then the 
telephone ring programming is overridden by the DRP. Refer 
to the Modular ICS System Administrator Guide for details 
about setting ring types on a telephone.
If Hunt group DRP has a higher priority than the line DRP, the 
system will use the Hunt Group DRP within the Hunt Group. 
(Refer to Allowing/disallowing an auxiliary ringer on page 
416.)

Restrn filters
Restriction filters are groups of dialing restrictions and dialing 
overrides for external numbers or feature codes. By packing a 
set of restrictions and overrides in one group, you can assign 
them to a line in one step, as a single package.
You can make changes to restriction filters under both 
Terminals&Sets, and Lines. Any changes will take effect 
for any telephone, line, or line on a telephone, regardless of 
where the programming was changed.
See the description and procedures in Restrictions on page 
367.
Line restrns
Specify the filter to be applied to this line to restrict the 
numbers that can be dialed on it. You can assign a different 
restriction filter for normal service and for each of the six 
schedules. See Services on page 371 for more information 
about the schedules.
Use ≠, CHANGE
 and the dialpad to enter the number 
of the restriction filter to be assigned as the line restriction for 
each schedule. 
The default restrictions are shown in the table below:
Default filters for lines

Remote restrns
Specify the restriction filter to be applied to remote callers 
calling in to the Norstar system on this line. A restriction filter 
is a set or group of restrictions and overrides. 
As with line restrictions, you can apply a different remote 
restriction for normal service and for each of six schedules.
Use CHANGE
 and the dialpad to program the remote restrictions 
for each schedule. 
The default restrictions are shown in the following table.
Default filters for remote access 
Tips - When a remote user places an external call on a 
line, any filters used with the line still apply.
