P0992639 01 Modular ICS Companion Installer Guide
Integrated Communication System, 
Trunk Module and Station Module.
O
OPS: Off premise station.
OPX:  Off premise extension.
overlay: See Programming overlay.
P
Passwords:  A programming 
section that lets you assign or 
change COS passwords, Call log 
passwords, or any of the 
programming passwords. Once you 
access the Passwords section, you 
can only modify the passwords for 
your level of programming.
Portable Credits (U.S. only): 
Predefine the maximum number of 
portables that can be registered to 
the system. Systems can only 
register as many portables as there 
are available Portable Credits.To 
register additional portables, you 
must obtain Portable Credit Keys for 
the number of additional portables 
you need.You can obtain additional 
keys whenever you need to expand 
the number of portables, up to a 
maximum of 60 portables for each 
XC 2.0 system. 
portable telephone: See 
Companion portable telephone.
Prime line: The line on your 
telephone that is automatically selected when you lift the receiver, 
press the Handsfree/Mute button or 
use an external dialing feature.
A Prime Line is assigned to a 
telephone during Installer 
programming.
Private line: See Private to.
Private to: A line can be assigned, 
during Installer programming, to one 
telephone as a private line. The line 
cannot appear on any other 
telephone, except the prime 
telephone for that line. Private lines 
cannot be placed into line pools. 
programming: Setting the way the 
Norstar system will work. 
Programming includes system-wide 
settings and individual telephone 
and line settings.
programming overlay: A paper 
template that is placed over the top 
four memory buttons with indicators 
on the M7310 or M7324 telephone 
during programming. The overlay 
labels indicate the special function 
that each of the four buttons takes 
on during programming. The overlay 
is found at the back of the Norstar 
Companion Installer Guide or 
System Coordinator Guide.
R
Radio Credits (U.S. only): The XC 
2.0 system recognizes base stations 
as
 Radio credits. The number of 
Radio Credits licenced to  the  
						

							126 / Glossary
Modular ICS Companion Installer Guide P0992639 01
system is embedded in the UTAM 
Activation Key. Two radio credits are 
needed for each base station.
Radio Data: The section of 
Companion programming that 
contains all the headings to set up 
cells and radios in your Norstar 
Companion system.
Receive Signal Strength Indicator 
(RSSI):
 A measurement of the 
signal strength that the base station 
receives from a particular portable. 
The strongest value is about -35 
dBm; the weakest value is 
approximately -94 to -100 dBm.
Recovery Key (U.S. only): See 
UTAM Recovery Key.
Reevaluation: A heading under 
radio data that lets you re-assign the 
proper cell configuration to each 
radio in a base station. Use it when 
you’ve added or removed base 
stations in your Norstar Companion 
system. 
Registration: The procedure for 
assigning an extension on the 
Norstar system to a Companion 
portable telephone. Registration is 
controlled using System Coordinator 
programming and performed “over 
the air” using the portable itself.
Registration password: a 
password that prevents 
unauthorized users from registering 
portables on the Norstar Companion 
system.
Regression Key (U.S. only): 
Restores the previous system 
security number so that previously 
applied UTAM Activation Keys and 
Portable Credit Keys can be 
reentered to restore full system 
operation. Also required in cases of 
system recovery. This key cannot be 
reused.
Remote access: The ability to dial 
into a Norstar system from outside 
the system and make use of 
selected Norstar features. The lines, 
features, and dialing capabilities 
available to a remote user are 
determined by the Class of Service.
If the remote access line is 
answered with DISA, the user must 
enter a Class of Service password to 
gain access to the Norstar systems 
features.
Remote paging: This feature allows 
remote users to use the Norstar 
paging feature. Access to this 
feature is governed by the Class of 
Service for the call. See Remote 
Access and Class of Service.
Remote Power Interconnect (RPI) 
device:
 An interface providing 
remote power for the base stations. 
Each RPI can power up to 8 or 16 
base stations.
Routing: See Routing Service.
Routing service: A programming 
section that allows outgoing calls to 
be directed automatically based on  
						

							Glossary / 127
P0992639 01 Modular ICS Companion Installer Guide
the numbers a caller dials. For 
Norstar systems linked in a network, 
routing can create a transparent or 
coordinated dialing plan. It can also 
be used to direct calls to the least 
expensive lines according to a 
Services schedule (sometimes 
called least cost routing). 
Roaming: Roaming is the ability of a 
portable telephone to make and 
receive calls anywhere within the 
coverage area of a Norstar 
Companion system.
RSSI: See Receive Signal Strength 
Indicator.
S
Software Keys (U.S. only): Keys 
and credits administered by UTAM 
Inc. to control user capacity and to 
ensure system location verification 
for unlicensed, personal wireless 
communication devices.
 They must 
be obtained and entered into your 
Norstar Companion system in order 
to activate wireless capability. 
See also UTAM Inc.
Station Module: A module that 
allows you to connect up to 16 
additional telephones to your 
Norstar system.
System Coordinator password: A 
one- to six-digit password that 
prevents unauthorized access to 
system programming. The system 
coordinator password can be assigned and changed in 
programming.
System Logical Identifier (LID): a 
4-digit number by which the system 
identifies itself to portable 
telephones and which the portable 
telephones use to request service 
from the system. Only the Installer 
can change the System LID.
System ID: The System ID (or 
System Security number) can be 
accessed on any M7324 or M7310 
telephone display by pressing 
²••ÍÁÍÈÎ, or 
²••‡·‡›‹.
The number is required in order to 
obtain the keys that will activate your 
Norstar Companion system’s 
wireless capability.
See also Software Keys.
T
M7316 Business Series Terminal: 
A telephone that has a two-line 
display, three display buttons, 10 
programmable memory buttons with 
indicators, and 12 memory 
programmable buttons without 
indicators. This set can be used to 
as a programming set for the system 
installer.
Target lines: Lines used to answer 
incoming calls only. A target line 
routes a call according to digits it 
receives from an incoming trunk.  
						

							128 / Glossary
Modular ICS Companion Installer Guide P0992639 01
They are referred to by line numbers 
in the same way as physical lines.
Transfer: A feature that lets you 
redirect a call to another telephone 
in your Norstar system, over a 
network or outside your Norstar 
system. It also works with a Norstar 
Companion portable.
Trunk Module: A module that 
allows you to install additional Trunk 
Cartridges in your system to provide 
up to 12 additional trunks.
Twinning: With the XC 2.0 system, 
the ability of users who have both a 
wireline (desk) telephone and 
Companion portable telephone to 
answer calls from either device. 
Twinning is made possible either 
through assigning Answer DNs or 
configuring target lines.
U
Undirected Receive Signal 
Strength Indicator:
 
A measurement of the signal 
strength between a portable and the 
base station radio that the portable 
is currently linked to. 
See also Receive Signal Strength 
Indicator.
UTAM Activation Key (U.S. only): 
Activates the wireless capability on a 
new system and in system upgrades 
involving a change to the number of 
base stations supported.
UTAM Inc. (U.S. only): The Federal 
Communications Commission 
(FCC) has appointed UTAM Inc. as 
the body responsible for 
coordinating and verifying the 
installation or relocation of personal 
wireless communication devices 
operating between 1.92 GHz and 
1.93 GHz. This allows UTAM Inc. to 
monitor and control the level of 
wireless activity within this band for 
a specified geographical location.
UTAM Recovery Key (U.S. only): 
Reactivates a Companion wireless 
system that has been disabled and 
restores the Companion system to 
its previous radio credit capacity. 
See the troubleshooting chapter.
W
wireless: See Companion.
