606 / Problems for network or remote users Modular ICS 6.1 Installer GuideP0603534 02 Problems for network or remote users Remote feature code gets no response Possible problem A Norstar user has called into another Norstar system and is trying to activate a remote feature but gets no response after dialing the feature code. Solution 1. Make sure that the remote caller is dialing the feature code correctly. Use the asterisk (*) character, followed by the feature code, to activate a remote feature. Do not use ≤ for accessing features on a remote Norstar system. 2. Make sure that the remote user is dialing tones, not pulses, once the call is answered. Dialed number gets ringback and the wrong person Possible problem The digits sent by a switch at a central office or in the private network did not match any Received number, the Auto DN, or the DISA DN. The call has been routed to the prime telephone for the incoming trunk.
Problems for network or remote users / 607 P0603534 02Modular ICS 6.1 Installer Guide Solution 1. Verify that the switch is sending the correct number of digits for the Received number length defined in your system. 2. Verify all the digit strings that the switch should be sending. 3. Check that you have defined the corresponding Received number for every target line in your system. 4. Make sure that the published telephone numbers for your network are correct. Dialed number gets stuttered dial tone instead of ringback Possible problem The remote caller has tried to reach a Norstar target line, but has reached a trunk with DISA instead. Alternatively, the Norstar system has mapped incoming digits onto the DISA DN. Solution 1. Verify all the digit strings that the switch should be sending. 2. Check that you have defined a corresponding Received number for every target line in your system. 3. Check that you have defined the correct DISA DN for your system. 4. Make sure that the published telephone numbers for your network are correct.
608 / Problems for network or remote users Modular ICS 6.1 Installer GuideP0603534 02 Dialed number gets dial tone instead of ringback Possible problem The remote caller has tried to reach a Norstar target line, but has reached the Norstar system instead. Norstar has mapped the incoming digits onto the Auto DN. Solution 1. Verify all the digit strings that the switch should be sending. 2. Check that you have defined the corresponding Received number for every target line in your system. 3. Check that you have defined the correct Auto DN for your system. 4. Make sure that the published telephone numbers for your network are correct. Dialed number gets busy tone Possible problem The target line that the incoming digits map onto is busy, and there is no prime telephone for the incoming trunk. Solution For maximum call coverage, make sure that you configure a prime telephone for every incoming trunk.
Problems for network or remote users / 609 P0603534 02Modular ICS 6.1 Installer Guide Dialed number does not get through Possible problem The digits sent by a switch at a central office or in the private network did not match any Received number, the Auto DN, or the DISA DN. There is also no prime telephone assigned for the incoming trunk. In this case, the caller may hear overflow tone from the Norstar system or a recorded message from the originating switch. Solution 1. Configure a prime telephone for every incoming trunk. 2. Verify that the switch is sending the correct number of digits for the Received number length defined in your system. 3. Verify all the digit strings that the switch should be sending. 4. Check that you have defined a Received number for every target line in your system. 5. Make sure that the published telephone numbers for your network are correct. Possible problem The Norstar system did not receive some or all of the incoming digits. Solution 1. Check that the system hardware is receiving signals properly.
610 / Problems for network or remote users Modular ICS 6.1 Installer GuideP0603534 02 2. Verify that the switch is sending the correct number of digits for the Received number length defined in your system. 3. If the switch at the far end is sending pulse signals, make sure they are being sent at the proper rate. Pulse digits must be 300 ms or more apart for Norstar to receive them. Possible problem If remote callers are having difficulty getting through from the public network, there may be a problem with your DID Trunk Cartridge. Solution 1. Connect a single-line DTMF telephone to a DID trunk input on the DID Trunk Cartridge. 2. Use the single-line telephone to enter a Received number that has been programmed for a target line in your system. Listen for ringback. 3. If you do not hear ringback, check that the target line is assigned to a telephone and that there is a prime telephone assigned for the DID trunk. 4. If you now hear ringback, but you also hear the noise of your unanswered call ringing, check the cross-connections. If all the cross-connections are correct replace the Trunk Cartridge. Possible problem If remote callers are having difficulty getting through from the private network, there may be a problem with your E&M/ DISA Trunk Cartridge.
