Access codesInstaller password required
Access codes are used by the system to direct calls to the 
correct lines and destinations. If the codes conflict, some of the 
features on the system will not work. 
The table of default settings can help you plan your access 
codes so there are no conflicts.
Digits assigned by default to settings
Line pool codesInstaller password required
This setting allows you to assign a line pool access code for 
each of the 15 line pools (A to O). These codes are used to 
specify the line pool you want to use for making an outgoing 
external call.
If your system is installed without expansion cards, the DN 
default is two digits. Therefore, B1 DNs will be from 21 to 52 
and the B2 DNs are assigned from 53 to 84. The B2 DN range 
is 80 to 84. Therefore, the single digit 8 is not available for a 
line pool access code.
Use ≠, CHANGE
, the dialpad, and OK to program the 
access code.

The default access code is 9 for Line Pool A, and None for 
Line Pool B to O.
For ISDN-PRI line pool settings, see Line Pools on page 460.
Park prefixInstaller password required
The Park prefix is the first digit of the call park retrieval code 
that must be entered to retrieve a parked call. If the Park prefix 
is set to None, calls cannot be parked. 
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: 1 to 9, None, or 0.
Tips - The code can be one to four digits in length.
A line pool access code can be the same as an external line 
access code. In this case, the line pool access code takes 
priority over the external line access code, and a line from the 
line pool is selected.
A line pool access code cannot conflict with: 
• the Park prefix
• the Direct-dial digit
• the first digit of any Received number
• the first digit of any DN (including the Auto DN or 
the DISA DN)
• the first digit of a destination code.
To avoid a conflict, refer to the table of default settings in the 
description of External code.
Tips - The Park prefix cannot be the same as: 
• the Direct-dial digit
• the External Line access code
• the first digit of a DN
• the first digit of a line pool access code
• the first digit of a destination code
If DN length is changed, and the changed DNs conflict with 
the Park prefix, the setting changes to None.

External codeInstaller password required
External code allows you to assign the external line access 
code. This code is used to allow M7100/T7100 telephones, 
and telephones connected through Analog Terminal Adapters 
(ATA2) to access external lines.
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: 0 to 9, or None.
Tips - Other programmable settings may affect which 
numbers appear on the display during programming. 
Although the numbers 0 to 9 are valid Park prefix settings, 
some may have been already assigned elsewhere by default or 
by programming changes. To avoid a conflict, refer to the 
table of default settings in the description of External code.
 - 
SWCA note: If you want to use system wide access (SWCA) 
keys on your system, you must specify a valid Park Prefix to 
turn on the feature.
Tips - The external line access code cannot conflict with:
• the Park prefix
• the direct-dial digit
• the first digit of a line pool access code
• the first digit of a DN
• the first digit of a destination code.
If DN length is changed, and the changed DNs conflict with the 
Park prefix, the setting changes to None.

Direct-dial #Installer password required
Direct-dial digit allows you to dial a single system-wide digit 
to call a specific telephone, called a direct-dial telephone, such 
as a receptionist’s station.
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: 1 to 9, None, or 0.
Auto DNInstaller password required
For calls answered without DISA, no password is required to 
access the Norstar system. The Class of Service (COS) that 
applies to the call is determined by the COS for the trunk on 
which the user is calling.
1. Use CHANGE
 and the dialpad to enter the digits to be 
received from the auto-answer trunk. 
2. Press CLR
 to set the Auto DN back to None.
Tips - Another direct-dial telephone, an extra-dial 
telephone, can be assigned for each schedule in Services 
programming. 
The direct-dial digit cannot be the same as the first digit of:
•a DN
• a line pool access code
• the external line access code
• the Call Park prefix
• the first digit of a destination code
If DN length is changed, and the changed DNs conflict with the 
Park prefix, the setting changes to None.
Tips - The length of the Auto DN is the same as the 
Rec'd # length specified in
 System prgming.The Auto DN 
is cleared if the Received number length is changed.
The Auto DN cannot be the same as a line pool access code or 
a destination code. 
						

							System prgrming / 445
P0603534  02Modular ICS 6.1 Installer Guide
DISA DNInstaller password required
For calls answered with DISA, the system presents a stuttered 
dial tone to prompt a caller to enter a valid password. The 
Class of Service (COS) that applies to the call is determined by 
this COS password. 
Once a remote user is on the Norstar system, the DISA DN can 
be used to change the existing Class of Service. This gives you 
greater flexibility when you create access privileges. For 
example, you may want to have a shared DN for remote access 
and separate COS passwords with different dialing out 
privileges for individuals.
Use CHANGE
 and the dialpad to enter the digits to be received 
from the auto-answer trunk. 
Press CLR
 to set the DISA DN to None.
PrivAccCodeInstaller password required
If you have created a Private or Tandem network, you need to 
provide a specific code to access the network links.
1. Press Change
 and use the keypad to enter a code. 
2. Press OK
 to save the code.
This code must not conflict with any other access code or call 
code within the system.
Assign this code as the destination code for the private line or 
line pool that connects to the next node in the network.
Tips - The length of the DISA DN is the same as the 
Rec'd # length specified in
 System prgming. The DISA DN 
is cleared if the Received number length is changed.
The DISA DN cannot be the same as a line pool access code 
or a destination code.

Carrier CodesInstaller password required
If you are routing calls with different carriers as you change 
schedules, you need to be able to define the access codes for 
each carrier you use.
A multi-digit Carrier Access Code (CAC) contains an Equal 
Access Identifier Code (EAIC) followed by a 
Carrier Identification Code (CIC). The CIC identifies the 
carrier to be used to handle the call. The Carrier Access Code 
table stores the CAC digit pattern that you define for your 
region. 
In most cases it is not necessary to change the default values. 
The capability is there to modify overall patterns, if required.
• you can define up to five entries
• two entries will be pre-defined in North America, but you 
can remove these defaults
• each entry consists of an EAIC prefix (one to six digits) 
and a CIC length (one digit, 1 - 9)
• each entry is identified by the prefix digits themselves
This code becomes part of the External Number field in Route 
programming that will be used to access the carrier. Refer to 
Adding a long distance carrier access code on page 393.
1. From the Access code menu, press ‘ until you 
reach Carrier Codes.
2. Press ≠. Prfx:10 appears.
3.Add
 or Remove prefixes, as you require.
4. Press ≠. ID length:3 appears.
5.Change
 the length of the prefix, as you require.
This code must not conflict with any other access code or call 
code within the system.

Remote access
Remote access packages allow you to control the remote use 
of Norstar line pools. Create a remote access package by 
defining which of your system line pools will be accessible. 
You then assign the package to individual lines (using Rem 
line access), and to a particular Class of Service password 
(Remote pkg in COS passwords).

Changing Companion DN typeInstaller password required
This Companion setting is applicable for MICS-XC 6.1 
systems.
On startup, the DN default ranges are:
• wired telephones: 221-605
• portables (Companion): 637-666
• ISDN devices: 667-696 
BRI S-loops may have more than one DN associated to 
each loop.
Note that the DN range 637 to 696 can be used by either 
portable telephones or ISDN S-loops. 
• You can assign all 60 of the DNs to portable telephones 
and none to S-loops. 
• You can assign up to 30 DNs to S-loops, leaving 30 for 
portable telephones. 
Within these two limits you can choose a combination of 
ISDN and portable telephone DNs. 
If you try to assign more than 30 ISDN DNs, Max 30 ISDN DNs 
will appear.
Before you change a registered portable telephone DN to an 
ISDN DN, you must first deregister the number. Refer to 
Modular ICS Companion Installer Guide. 
Tips - When you change an S-loop DN to a portable 
telephone DN, service could be disrupted on one of the 
S-loops. If you want to change the DN type while people are 
using the Norstar system, use the Page feature (≤fl‚), 
to announce that calls may be disconnected.

1. Press CHANGE to select the DN type setting: ISDN or 
Portable.
2. Press STATE
 to show whether the number is: Assigned, 
Registered, Available, Pending, or In use by system 
(currently being used by an ISDN device).
If an ISDN DN is being changed, the display may show
Disrupt service? Press No
 to leave the value as ISDN, or 
Yes
 to remove the ISDN DN from use by the system.
Note:  If you change an ISDN DN that has a device already 
assigned, the device will fail. To fix this issue: return 
the DN to ISDN and unplug and replug the device.
For this reason, changing DNs should only be done 
when the system is not busy.
Rec’d # lengthInstaller password required
The Received number length setting allows you to change the 
number of digits received on auto-answer trunks. These digits 
are used to identify target lines, Auto DNs, and DISA DNs. 
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7. Then, 
press ‘ to make the change. 
Tips - The target line number (for example, line 052) and 
the Received number for the target line (for example,
 
Rec'd #: 123 for line 052) are two different numbers.
Tips - The Received number length may be the same as the 
system DN length. However, network or central office 
constraints may require you to set it to some other value.
Changing the Received number length causes all programmed 
received digits to be cleared.
