DN lengthInstaller password required
This feature allows you to change the number of digits for all 
DNs. The maximum length is seven. The default, and 
minimum length, is 3.
1. Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7. 
2. Press  ‘ to save the new DN length. 
The display shows Drop data calls?.
3. Press YES
 to save the new DN length. 
NO
 restores the original value.
Tips - A DN length change, if required, should be the first 
programming change on a newly-installed Norstar system. 
Each increase in length places the digit 2 in front of any 
existing DN. For example, if DN 234 was increased to a 
length of 4, the new DN would be 2234.
If the DN length is changed so that a conflict is created with 
the Park prefix, external line access code, direct-dial digit, or 
any line pool access code, the setting for the prefix or code is 
changed to None, and the corresponding feature is disabled.
Do not change DN length immediately after a 
system startup.
You must wait for at least two minutes after a 
system startup before you change the DN length.
Data devices which use the B2 channel drop calls 
when the DN length is changed. Norstar 
telephones and Business Series Terminals retain 
their calls because they only use the B1 channel.

BusName
Norstar will display the name of the calling party when it is 
provided both Private or Public ISDN PRI and BRI interfaces. 
The displayed name may include information such as the 
Receiving Calling Name, Receiving Redirected Name, and/or 
Receiving Connected Name. The outgoing name is the 
business name concatenated with the set name. 
Network name display supported by protocol
Receiving and Sending Calling Party Name
Network name display allows the name of an incoming PRI/
BRI call to be displayed on the Norstar set receiving the call. 
• Calling Party Name with status of Private may be 
displayed on the Called Party telephone as Private name. 
• If the incoming Calling Name is defined by the CO as a 
private name, then Private name appears on the 
answering telephone. 
• If the Calling Party Name is unavailable, it may be 
displayed on the Called Party set as Unknown name.
Tip - The outgoing name is not supported on BRI. 
Refer to Feature assignment (CLID alignment) on page 347.
Network Name Display is an optional feature that is available 
based on the interface to which you are subscribed.

• The system supports sending the calling party name, which 
is the Business Name and Set Name concatenated together, 
on calls originated by the Norstar system.
For information about programming your Feature assignment, 
see Feature assignment (CLID alignment) on page 347.
The Set Name will only be sent if the OLI for the Set is 
configured. See OLI # on page 333.
Receiving and Sending Connected Name
Outgoing calls record the Connected Name on outgoing calls. 
The Connected Name is stored and displayed on the Norstar 
telephone. In order for this to work, you need to set the 
Called ID to Yes. See Called ID on page 349.
The system also supports sending the Connected Name, which 
is the Business and Set Name concatenated together, with 
incoming calls. 
If the call is answered by a hunt group, the hunt group name is 
used instead of the set name.
The Connected Name is a transient display that appears for 
about three seconds.
Network Name Display interactions
Calling and Connected Name information (if available) is 
passed between trunks with Selective Line Redirection (SLR). 
Only Calling Name information is passed between trunks in 
cases where Direct System Inward Access (DISA) has resulted 
in tandeming of trunks.

Outgoing Name and Number Blocking
When activated, ≤°⁄· blocks the outgoing name and 
number on a per call basis. When this feature is used, the call 
is flagged to the CO so that the name and number will not be 
presented to the person being called.
On analog and BRI trunks, a call blocking digit sequence is 
sent to the CO before sending the dialout digits. You can 
change this digit in a Norstar programming session and set it 
to the digit sequence recognized by the local CO for name and 
number blocking.
This programming is done in the main program heading Telco 
Features. To program the Name and Number blocking digit, 
start with the display showing Telco features.

Call by Call service selection for 
PRI
Installer password required
Call by Call service selection allows a user to access services 
or private facilities over a PRI line without the need for 
dedicated facilities. The different services represent different 
types of access to the network. Various services are available 
depending on the chosen protocol. The list below identifies the 
supported services
Call by Call service selection is supported for the following 
protocols:
• National ISDN 2 (NI-2)
• DMS-100 custom
• DMS-250 (MCI, Sprint, Generic)
• AT&T 4ESS custom
The following Call by Call Services are supported:
Public Public calls connect Norstar and a Central 
Office (CO). Both incoming (DID) and out-
going (DOD) calls are supported. Dialed dig-
its conform to the standard North American 
dialing plan (E.164 standard).
Foreign 
Exchange 
(FX)Foreign exchange service connects a Norstar 
site to a remote central office (CO). This pro-
vides the equivalent of local service at the 
remote location.
Tie Tie lines are private incoming and outgoing 
lines that connect Private Branch Exchanges 
(PBXs) such as Norstar.

Line Pools
All lines in a PRI interface are in the same PRI line pool. This 
pool cannot contain any non-PRI lines. There is one PRI pool 
available for each PRI interface on the CSU. 
Depending on the order that the cards are configured as PRI, 
Pool PRI-A represents lines 1 to 30, and Pool PRI-B represents 
lines 31 to 60. If both PRIs are connected to the same service 
provider and use the same protocol, lines 1 to 30 and 31 to 60 
can be put in the same pool. There are four PRI pools available 
for profile 1 and 4 systems, PRI-A, PRI-B, PRI-C, PRI-D 
because these profiles support the off-core DTI module.
Programming Call by Call service selection
Programming the Norstar system for Call by Call Service 
Selection with a PRI interface requires
• provisioning a PRI card if a PRI card is not already a part 
of the system, on page 483
• selecting a protocol, on page 484
• programming incoming call routing, on page 485
• programming routes that use the PRI pools (under 
Services), see Routing service on page 379
PRI Call by Call Limits
PRI pool limits for Call by Call services allows you to 
configure limits for service types without interacting with the 
CO. This feature sets the minimum and maximum number of 
incoming and outgoing calls per service type for the PRI pool. 
The number of active calls will be tracked so that whenever a 
call is being set up, a check will be made to determine if it will 
be allowed. Calls will not be allowed if they exceed the
