CALL TRANSFER 
An outside CO line can be transferred from one 
keyset to another. By pressing the STATION button 
of the desired party, or pressing TRANS button 
and then dialing that station number. unscreened 
transfers or screened transfers with an 
announcement can be made. The line being 
transferred rungs on the keyset and gives a ftash 
indication to the receiving party’s keyset. Several 
attempts can be made to find someone at different 
keysets without losing the call. If a line is transferred 
to a busy station, it will receive muted ringing. 
CAMP ON (CALL WAITING) 
A station may alert a busy party that an outside 
line is on hold and waiting for them by use of the 
Call Waiting feature. To Camp-On a call, transfer 
the call to the desired busy station, then press the 
MSG CP.ON button twice. The called station will 
receive muted ring, hold flash indication on the 
waiting line. and a flashing “HOLD” button if the 
camp-on initiator is waiting to talk. The busy party 
can press the MSGICP.ON button, automatically 
placing his outside line on hold, to confer with the 
camp-on initiator. A station may camp-on another 
busy station without having a CO line connection, 
if desired. A CO line camped-on a station will recall 
the camp-on initiator if not picked up after the 
programmable period of time expires. Only the 
attendant station can camp-on to a station in the DND 
mode with a visual indication only. A camp-on cannot 
be made to a station in conference. The station 
designated “EXECUTIVE” in an ExecutiveSecretary 
pair can be camped-on only by the corresponding 
secretary. 
CO LINE GROUPING 
CO lines can be in one of up to six (6) groups 
to separate line types such as local, FX, PBX, etc. 
Stations are then individually assigned access to 
these lines and given the ability to dial on particular 
lines. 
CO RING ASSIGNMENTS 
CO lines are assigned to ring on a per-station basis 
according to system programming. Any station may 
be programmed to ring for any line(s) in the Day 
and/or during Night service. CO LINE QUEUING 
When CO lines are busy, stations can be placed on 
a list awaiting that CO line or a CO line in the same 
line group to become available. When a CO line 
becomes available, the system signals the waiting 
station. If the waiting station is busy when the 
queued CO line becomes available, the staton is 
placed at the bottom of the queue list. 
Three attempts will be made to reach a busy station 
before that station is dropped from the queue list. 
If a station doesn’t answer the que signal in 6 rings, 
that station will be dropped from the queue list. 
CONFERENCE 
A) 
‘3 Multi-Line 
One (I ) internal station can engage in a 
conference with two (2) external parties. 
An external party can be dropped from the 
conference by pressing the CO line button of the 
party wishing to remain. The internal station may 
place the conference on HOLD by pressing the 
“HOLD” button. 
Add-on Conference 
Two (2) internal stations can engage in 
conference with one (1) external party or 3 
internal parties can set up a conferences. 
There is no limit on the number of add-on 
conferences, except for the total number of 
CO lines connected to the system. 
COMMON AUDIBLE RINGING (LOUD BELL) 
Incoming CO line ringing of a station can be directed 
to Loud Bell Control contacts. There is one (1) set 
of dry contacts that may be assigned to a station. 
An external power source and ringing device is 
required. 
DIAL PULSElDTMF SIGNALING 
I . 
Each outside line can be individually programmed to 
provide dial pulse or tone sending. 
DIAL PULSE TO TONE SWITCHOVER - 
The signalling on a CO line can be changed from dial 
pulse to tone (DTMF). This allows dial pulse 
telephones to use common carriers which require 
DTMF signalling. This feature can also be stored 
and used with speed dial numbers.

CO line ringing, intercom calls, CO line transfers, 
All Call Page announcements and Camp-Ons. 
The attendant position can override a station in DND, 
except for “executive” designated stations. 
The corresponding “secretary” can override the 
“executive” DND using the Camp-On feature. 
The station in DND can use the telephone to make 
normal outgoing calls. By programming, a station 
can be denied this feature. 
EMERGENCY TRANSFER 
In the event of commercial power failure or central 
processor failure, the system will automatically 
connect the first 3 CO lines to preconnected single 
line telephones. 
EXCLUSIVE HOLD 
A line placed on exclusive hold prohibits keysets 
from picking up a call held by another station. 
EXECUTIVE/SECRETARY TRANSFER 
Four (4) pairs of key telephones can be designated 
as executive/secretary. Whenever the “executive” 
phone is in DND or busy, transferred CO lines and 
intercom calls will be directed to the “secretary” 
station. If the secretary station is busy, busy tone 
will be received by the calling party. 
There are three (3) combination types possible. 
1 )Four (4) pairs of “Executive-Secretary” pools. 
2)One (1) Executive with one-to-four Secretaries. 
3)One (1) Secretary for one-to-four Executives. EXTERNAL PAGING

400 INSTALLATION 
400.1 SITE PLANNING 
The STARPLUS 6 16EX Electronic Key Telephone 
System, like most electronic office equipment, 
should not be subjected to harsh environmental 
conditions. To assure easy servicing and reliable 
operation, several factors must be considered when 
planning the system installation. Always consider the 
following BEFORE installing the KSU and wiring: 
4 
B) 
Cl 
‘3 
El 
F) 
G) 
HI 
1) The KSU is designed for wall-mounting only. 
The internal power supply operates with 
1 17 VAC, 60 Hz, single-phase electricity. 
A 3-wire (parallel blade with ground) receptacle 
must be provided on a dedicated, separately 
fused 15 AMP circuit. 
Location(s) of telephone conduits or cable runs. 
The KSU should be within 25 feet of the 
telephone company (TELCO) 
RJl 1 C. 
The KSU should be centrally located and 
assurances should be made to stay within 
prescribed cable lengths. 
800 ft. 26 AWG Twisted pair Cable 
1200 ft. 24 AWG Twisted pair Cable 
1500 ft. 22 AWG Twisted pair Cable 
A well ventilated area having a recommended 
temperature range of 60 to 80 degrees 
Fahrenheit, and a humidity range of 5 to 95% 
(non condensing). 
Accessibility of KSU for servicing and lighting. 
Protection from flooding, flammable materials, 
excessive dust and vibration. 
Proximity of radio transmitting equipment, 
arc-welding devices, copying machines and other 
electrical equipment that are capable of 
generating electrical interferences. 
Access to a good earth ground such as a 
metallic COLD water pipe. Inspect the pipe for 
non-metallic joints. 
400.2 
UNPACKING THE 616EX KSU 
Remove the KSU from the shipping carton and place 
it on a level working surface, face up. Inspect the 
KSU for physical damage. The KSU has no 
serviceable parts. 
400.3 KSU GROUNDING 
To ensure that the system will operate properly. 
a good earth ground is recommended. A metallic 
COLD water pipe will usually provide a reliable 
ground path. Carefully check that the pipe does not 
contain insulated joints that could isolate the ground. 
In the absence of the cold water pipe, a ground rod 
or other source may be used. A No. 8 AWG copper 
wire should be used between the ground source and 
the KSU. 
THE GROUND WIRE SHOULD BE KEPT AS SHORT 
AS POSSIBLE AND CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE 
GROUND LUG LOCATED ON THE SIDE 
OF THE KSU. (Figure 2.3) 
400.4 KSU INSTALLATION 
A) 
4 
Cl 
D) The KSU is designed for wall mounting only. 
The KSU should NOT be mounted directly on a 
masonry surface. 
If the KSU is to be mounted on a masonry 
surface, a wooden backboard of sufficient size 
should be attached to the wall and the KSU 
mounted on the backboard. 
Mount the KSU on the backboard using four 
fasteners. (The fasteners should be selected 
carefully so as to be capable of supporting the 
KSU.) (Refer to Sec. 200.4 for KSU dimensions.) 
Install the ground using an insulated 8 AWG 
copper wire. Attach one end to the grounding lug 
on the side of the KSU cabinet and fasten the 
other end to a good earth ground (Refer to 
Figure 2.3-KSU layout). 
The KSU power supply is located within the 
KSU. Because the KSU is a sealed unit, all 
electrical connectiohs are provided externally. 
The power cord exits the KSU on the right side. 
Also on the right side is a fuse holder that 
contains a 0.7 Amp. slow-blow fuse. Power for 
the system is distributed internally 
(Refer to Figure 2.2 & 2.3). : 
4-l  
						

							STARPLUS 616EX ISSUE 2 JULY 1,1987 
El The power cord should not be used with a 
3-wire-2-wire plug adapter. A power line surge 
protector should be used to protect the power 
supply from electrical surges. The surge 
protector should be installed in accordance with 
the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable 
local electrical codes. 
WARNING: 
DO NOT PLUG IN THE POWER CORD AT 
THIS TIME. 
400.5 KSU CABLING 
Two (2) Amphenol-type connectors are provided 
on the left side of the KSU (Refer to Figure 2.2). 
On the right edge of the front surface are the RJl 1 C 
connectors which are for CO lines. On the left side 
surface of the 616EX KSU are two connectors 
marked J-l and J-2. The J-l connector is located 
just below the J-2 connector. J-i and J-2 require 
180 degree male ended plug cables for proper 
attachment. 
When connecting cable tails to the KSU, make sure 
the designation on the AMP hood matches the 
designation at the connector’s input on the KSU. 
After plugging in the required cables, a “horse shoe” 
fastener should be placed around the mated AMP 
connectors to secure the cable to the KSU 
connector. 
Verify that the wires are properly cross-connected. 
Observe the telephone standard wiring color codes 
whenever possible. 
Some points to be aware of while running the key 
telephone cabling are: 
Cabling should be routed to avoid flourescent light 
fixtures, electric motors and generators, welding 
equipment and radio transmitters. Additionally, care 
should be taken to avoid hot locations such as steam 
pipes and furnaces, and areas where wiring is 
subject to abrasion. 
CAUTION 
It is 
NOT recommended that power be applied to 
the system during the cable termination process. 400.6 LIGHTNING PROTECTION 
The 616EX should have central office lines protected 
with proper lightning surge arrestors. The central 
office lines are exposed to damaging surges induced 
by direct or non-direct lightning strikes. 
The protection should contain a complement of 
3-element gas discharge tubes which ground high 
potential surges, and associated circuits to absorb 
and filter lower-level surge potentials. Care should 
be taken to ensure that not more than one set of 
protectors be installed on central office lines at 
installtion premises, Improper installation of line 
protection can present a serious safety hazard. 
400.7 KEY TELEPHONE INSTALLATION 
A maximum of sixteen 
(16) key telephones may be 
installed with the 616EX Key System. Each key 
telephone requires 2 pair (4 wires) for proper wiring. 
It is recommended that 3 pair twisted pair cable be 
used to connect the telephones to the system on a 
“home run” basis. The telephone end of the cable 
should be terminated on a modular jack. 
At the MDF end of the home run, the cable should 
be terminated on a separate station connecting 
block (66Ml-50) for cross connection to the “J” 
cables. This method of cabling will allow for easy 
isolation of station equipment during trouble shooting 
procedures. 
400.8 WALL MOUNT KIT INSTALLATION 
All connections to the Key Telephones are fully 
modular. To wall mount the Key Telephone, it is 
necessary to have one Wall Mount Kit and one (1) 
630-A type modular wall mount jack assembly 
equipped with two mounting lugs. 
A) 
W 
C) Remove the mounting cord from the 
telephone. This cord will no longer be needed. 
Substitute the short modular cord on the wall 
mount baseplate for the mounting cord removed 
in A above. 
Rotate the plastic number retainer upwards to 
expose the screw underneath. Remove the 
screw and slide the cover plate under the 
number retainer towards the hookswitch.

and snap into place. 
Align the mounting tab on the outer edges of 
the wall mount base with the holes on the key 
telephone base. Snap shut and fasten with the 
screw. 
The telephone can now be mounted to the wall 
by mating the two keyhole slots on the baseplate 
with the lugs on the modular cover assembly. 
Check to make sure that the modular connector 
on the baseplate has a firm connection with the 
connection on the wall jack. (Figure 4.1) 
400.9 PHONE BOX INSTALLATION 
The 6 16EX Phone Box can make calls to preassigned 
stations as well as receive intercom calls. The unit 
should be located in weather protected areas where 
paging or monitoring is required. 
The Phone Box consists of a top housing and bottom 
mounting plate. The top housing has a speaker, 
mjcrophone, wire terminals and electronic circuitry. 
The housings are separated by inserting a thin, 
flat-edged tool at the bottom rim of the assembly. 
By pressing inwards on the recessed retaining tab, 
the assembly will open. 
The connection of the Phone Box(es) to the KSU is 
identical to that of the key telephone. 
Refer to Sec. 400.6. 
The bottom plate of the Phone Box assembly is 
fastened to the wall by mounting with customer 
supplied No. 8 or larger pan head screws. The cable 
is routed through the cable-entry holes provided on 
the bottom plate and is connected to the screw 
terminal strip on the upper housing. Four (4) screw 
terminals are identified by wire color on the silk- 
screened printed circuit board to correspond with 
the wiring sequence at the punchdown connector 
at the MDF. 
The slack wiring should be pulled back through the 
bottom mounting plate and the top housing snapped 
shut. Refer to Sec. 500.6 (station class of service) 
to program phone boxes. 400.10 EXTERNAL MUSIC SOURCE 
MUSIC-ON-HOLD, as well as BACKGROUND 
MUSIC can be connected using a customer provided 
tuner, tape deck, etc. Separate Music-on-Hold and 
background music volume adjustments are provided 
on the KSU. (Figure 2.3) Background Music (BGM) 
levels are also adjustable at each key telephone set. 
Connections are made on the J-l connector, 
the MOH pair. (Table 4-2) 
If background music is desired, go to Section 500 
(programming), Data Field 21 and enable 
background music. 
400.11 ALARM INSTALLATION 
The 616EX system may be used to transmit an 
alarm signal to each station (except phone boxes) in 
the system. When activated by an external alarm 
system, a continuous tone is transmitted to the 
station speakers. Leads from the external alarm are 
connected to the 616 terminals ALMT and ALMR 
(Figure 4.3). See Section 500.7 for programming 
Alarm states. After the alarm has sounded, the 
system must be reset by first clearing the alarm 
condition on the external system and then lifting 
the handset at any station programmed to receive 
alarm and dialing 9. 
400.12 BATTERY BACK-UP 
The STARPLUS 616EX can be fully supported for 
complete operation during a power failure. 
An externally provided 24 VDC battery package 
(gel type) and float charger is required. 
A convenient plug for battery connection is located 
on the left side of the KSU. (See Figure 2.2).
