4. Press ‘. If the display shows Clear Routes, 
press Y (yes) to confirm your selection.
BchanSeq
B-channel sequence allows you to select either ascending or 
descending. You need to choose the opposite setting of your 
service provider. 
However, if all lines for two DTI cards (configured as PRI) are 
in the same PRI pool, then both cards must be set to use the 
descending B-channel sequence mode. As a result, the service 
provider must use ascending mode
Press CHANGE
 to select either ascending or descending.
Call-by-call routing
By default, incoming calls are routed based on the Called Party 
Number. You program the received number length to include 
however many digits your system requires. This many digits 
from the end of the called party number are then used as 
Received Digits to find a target line.
For example, the incoming calling party number is 
800-555-1234. The received digit number length is 4. 
Therefore, 1234 is used to route the call.
The Network Specific Facilities (NSF) information element is used to 
request a particular service from the network.
When you select 
NONE, the NSF extension bit is not set for any 
service.
When you select 
WATS, the NSF extension bit is set for 
unbanded OUTWATS calls.
When you select 
ALL, the NSF extension is always set for all 
CbC services.

Depending on the protocol and the service, alternate routing 
maps may be defined. 
To change the incoming call routing for a service, with the 
display showing Protocol:, do the following:
1. Press ‘ until the display shows CbC Routing.
2. Press ≠. The display shows FX:. 
3. Press NEXT 
to display a different service.
Note:  The display shows the first applicable service for the 
given protocol, in this example the service is FX.
4. Press CHANGE
 to change the mapping that is applied to 
incoming calls of this service type to obtain the received 
digits. In all cases, the received digits are used to find a 
target line or to activate Remote Access.
None — No mapping is applied. The received number 
length determines the number of digits of the Called Party 
Number which will be used as received digits. 
If there is no called party number, which may occur with 
some FX calls, the call will ring at the incoming trunk 
Prime set.
All — Allows you to define the received digits used for all 
calls with this service type, regardless of the called party 
number or service identifier (SID). For this option, all calls 
with this service type on this PRI will ring the same target 
line. 
Map table — Allows you to associate different received 
digits with different calls of this service type, depending 
on the call party number and/or the service identifier. 
Incoming calls that do not match any entry defined in the 
map table will ring at the prime set. Depending on the 
service type and the protocol, you may be able to map the 
called party number and the service identifier.

CO fail
Select the carrier failure standard used by your T1 or PRI 
service provider. 
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: TIA-547A or TR62411.
I/F levels
Interface levels defaults to the ISDN loss plan setting. 
Press CHANGE
 to select setting: ISDN, PSTN or ISD/TT interface 
levels.
Tips - This setting only appears for DTIs. 
Consult your T1 or PRI service provider for the proper 
setting.
Tips - Find out if your Norstar system is connected to a 
central office (CO) with digital network loss treatment 
(ISDN I/F levels) or analog network loss treatment 
(PSTN I/F levels) by checking with your telecommunications 
service provider.
The ISDN setting requires digital access lines (DAL) that have 
digital network loss treatment. On a DAL network, it is the 
PBX that administers the dB loss. DALs may have ISDN 
signaling or digital (such as T1 and so on) signaling. To have 
DAL network loss treatment on a line with digital signaling, 
you must contact your service provider.
The PSTN setting requires analog access lines (AAL) that 
have analog network loss treatment and digital signaling. On 
an AAL network, the CO administers the dB loss.

Framing
Framing allows you to select the framing format used by your 
T1 or PRI service provider. 
Press CHANGE
 to select the setting: ESF (Extended Superframe) 
or SF (Superframe).
Tips - The ISD/TT setting is only for T1 and PRI 
interfaces (MCI services only). ISD/TT provides a loss level 
that is similar to DAL except for certain analog connections 
where the DB level increases by three.
Each loss plan uses a transmit objective loudness rating of -
46 dB. The ISDN and ISD/TT loss plan uses a receive 
objective loudness rating (ROLR) of 51dB and the PSTN loss 
plan uses a ROLR of 48 dB. 
Choosing the wrong setting may affect voice quality. 
You must disable the Trunk Cartridge using 
Module status in Maintenance before you 
can change this setting. See Module status on 
page 521 for details.
Tips - This setting only appears for DTIs. Consult your T1 
or PRI service provider for the proper setting.
SF or Superframe is sometimes known as D4.
