Call log space
Call log space programming customizes how log space is 
allocated to telephones in the system.
Reset all logs allows you to reallocate the Call log space 
equally to all telephones in your system.
1. Press YES
 and use the dialpad to enter the space allocation 
for the Call log at each telephone. 
You must use a three-digit number (for example, 020 to 
give each set 20 spaces).
2. Press YES
 to accept the settings and end programming. The 
system automatically reallocates Log space. 
Press NO
 to keep existing settings.
Host delay
Host delay allows you to assign the delay between the moment 
an outgoing line is selected to make an external call, for 
Tips - Use this heading only if you want to allocate an 
equal amount of log space to all the telephones in your system. 
If you want to assign specific log space to individual 
telephones, see the information under Terminals&Sets in the 
Modular ICS 6.1 System Coordinator Guide.
Reallocating Call log space may destroy Call log data at 
telephones that lose space.
There are 600 Call log spaces available in the system. There 
are no spaces allocated by default. 
Changing the space allocation using Log Defaults defines the 
log space available to all telephones in the system. Any 
remaining unassigned log space is available in a log pool, and 
can be reallocated under Terminals&Sets in Telco 
features.

example, by lifting the receiver off the telephone, and the 
moment that Norstar sends dialed digits or codes on the line.
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: 200, 400, 600, 800, 
1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, or 2000 milliseconds.

 to select the setting: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 
600, 700, 800, 900, or 1000 milliseconds.
For example, to program external dialing through a Centrex 
system, which requires a Link time of 400 ms, specify a Link 
time of 400. 
Tips - Host delay is provided to ensure that a dial tone is 
present before the dialing sequence is sent. Minimizing this 
delay provides faster access to the requested features.
Tips - The Link time required depends on the 
requirements of the host switching system that must be 
accessed.
Link is another name for Recall or Flash.

Msg reply enh
The Message reply enhancement feature allows for the 
message waiting indicator on analog telephones connected to 
an Analog Station Module (ASM) to be deactivated 
automatically if the reply call from the analog telephone to the 
designated direct-dial telephone is answered, no matter where 
the call is answered from by the user.
This feature also functions if the user invokes the Call Pickup 
feature to answer the reply call from the analog set. It does not, 
however, work with the Retrieve Parked Call feature.
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: Y (Yes) and N (No). 
Warning
If this feature is deactivated while a telephone is 
moved, the internal number and programming 
data for that telephone remain with the physical 
port on the ICS, and the telephone does not 
receive the original programming when it is 
reconnected elsewhere.
If you plug a new telephone into the original 
location before you reinstall the moved 
telephone, the programming moves to the new 
telephone and the moved telephone must be 
reprogrammed.
Tips - Direct-dial telephones are the only telephones that 
can send messages (using 
≤⁄) to analog telephones 
connected to an Analog Station Module (ASM). The direct-
dial telephone must be the designated direct-dial set for the 
analog telephone receiving a message.

Answer key
Up to eight answer DNs can be assigned per telephone. The 
Answer key setting in Featr settings allows you to 
determine what types of calls will alert at the telephone for the 
Answer DNs assigned to any telephone. 
Answer key changes do not apply to portables.
Press CHANGE
 to select the settings: Basic, Enhanced, and 
Extended. 
On the Basic setting, answer keys do not ring for:
• Prime set call capture
• call forwarded calls
• other answer key calls
• priority calls
• voice calls
• ringing service 
• callbacks
The Enhanced setting is the same as the Basic setting except:
• answer keys will ring for overflow call routed calls 
(special case of Prime set call capture)
• answer keys will not ring for line transferred calls
The Extended setting allows all call types to ring, except 
priority calls and voice calls.
Phantom DNs
A Phantom DN is the term used to describe a situation where 
a line is programmed to appear and ring on a telephone that 
does not physically exist. It allows you to create an Answer 
Key for the line that does not exist on an existing telephone. 
You would use a phantom DN in the case where you have 
taken a line out of service, such as a customer-response line,  
						

							430 / System prgrming
Modular ICS 6.1 Installer GuideP0603534  02
but you still get calls to that number. To handle the calls, create 
an answer key using the phantom DN on the telephone where 
you want these calls to be taken.
Setting SWCA controls
You can assign up to 16 System Wide Call Appearance 
(SWCA) keys to each telephone in a group. This is performed 
under Button programming, located under 
Terminals&Sets, User Preferences. SWCA controls are 
controlled by feature codes ≤•fi¤‚
 to 
≤•fi‹fi. The user can also program this feature on 
their own telephones using these feature codes.
On the system, under Feature Settings, SWCA Cntl you 
define how incoming calls get associated to SWCA keys and 
how Hold will handle the calls.
The Auto Associate setting determines if answered calls will 
automatically be assigned to SWCA keys 
(Auto Associate = Y). 
If you want the user to press the Hold button or a free SWCA 
key before the call transfers to a SWCA key, set Auto 
Associate to N. 
Calls remain assigned to SWCA keys for the duration of the 
call.
Tips - Since SWCA keys use the Park feature, ensure that 
you have Park turned on for your system by specifying a 
Park prefix (Access codes), and a park timeout setting 
(System programming, Featr settings).
