The Compact DR5 Programming Record may already have
been completed before installation. It describes the settings to be
programmed into a Norstar system. Also, the Compact DR5
Programming Record serves as a record of the settings
programmed at initial installation and during subsequent
customization of the system.
Default settings: Many of the programming settings are
determined during System Startup according to the selected
template. Any of these settings may later be changed during
programming. In the Compact DR5 Programming Record, these
default settings are shown in bold characters for the Square

System Startup
Perform System Startup after the system hardware has been
installed and powered up.

CAUTION
Startup is to be used for initial installation only, or after a

system software upgrade with a new Software
Cartridge. Do not use Startup after Norstar is in
operation; the procedure erases all system
administrative data.

All Configuration and Administration data will be retained for at
least three days if the power fails or if the Norstar system is
powered off. After three days without power, it may be necessary
to perform System Startup again.
Note:

Do not attempt Directory Number (DN) changes within
two minutes of System Startup (using the Change DNs
option of 5. Srstcm Data). Attempting a DN change
may disable the ports.

System Startup access
The System Startup code and a password are used only by
Installers to access System Startup.
The correct Startup code must be entered no later than 15
minute_safter the Norstar system has been powered up. A
Startup code entered at any time after the 15 minute interval
results in the message StartuP denied. If this occurs, re-power
the system again to prepare for the System Startup process.

TrWLine Data
Use 1. Trk/Li ne Data to program characteristics for each
external line.
When you are finished programming the Trk/Line Data settings
for a line, you may copy those exact settings to another line by
using the COPV display button (or n
on the M7208
Telephone) at the Show 1 inc: - prompt.

Entering the line to be programmed
Enter any available line number between 01 and’06.

Trunk data
Trunk data settings apply to external lines and include Trunk
mode, Oial mode and Full Autohold.
Trunk mode
Trunk mode lets you specify one of two modes of operation for
each line: disconnect supervised or unsupervised. The possible
settings are Super or Unspr. Super turns disconnect supervision
on for the line. Unspr turns disconnect supervision off for the line.
The default is Unspr.
Disconnect Supervision, also referred to as loop supervision,
releases an external line when an Open Switch Interval (OSI) is
detected during a call on that line. This prevents the line from
remaining unavailable for other Norstar users.
You should only assign the supervised mode to CO lines that
provide an Open Switch Interval (OSI) message. The use of lines
that do not have the OSI feature available (or lines set as
unsupervised) for incoming calls, results in the inconsistent
operation of the Line Redirection feature, the ability fo disconnect
from a conference that involves two external callers, and the
ability to transfer an incoming external call to an external
number.

Programming
-

/ 6-13

The duration of an OSI before Norstar disconnects a call is
programmed in the Disconnect Supervision delay setting of
Miscellaneous programming.

Dial mode
A dial mode can be assigned to each line. The mode defines the
signaling that the line will use. The default mode is Pulse. The
other possible mode is Tone.
-

Lines that use Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) tones,
should be set to Tone.

Full Autohold
If you select an idle line, but do not dial any digits, that line is
automatically placed on hold when you select another line. The
default setting is No, which means that the external line is not
held. The other possible setting is Yes.

Line data
Line data settings apply to external lines and include Line type,
Prime telephone, Auxiliary ringer and Auto privacy.
Line type
A type can be assigned to each line. The type defines how the
line is to be used in relation to other lines in the system. The
default type is Public. Other possible types are Private, Pool A,
Pool B and Pool C.
-

If you define a line as Public, the line can be accessed by
more than one telephone.

-

If you define a line as Private, the line can only be assigned
to one telephone and the Prime Telephone for that line.

-

If you assign a line to a Line Pool, that line can be available
to any telephone that is assigned access to that Line Pool.

-

If a line is assigned to one of the three Line Pools, but the
line is not assigned to any telephone, that line can only be
used for making outgoing calls.

6-14 / Programming

-

If a line is assigned to one of the three Line Pools, you must
remember that there are still two more programming settings
that must be assigned before a Line Pool can be used:
l

You must assign Line Pool Access to telephones in Line

Access.
l

You must assign Line Pool access codes in
Miscellaneous programming.

Prime telephone
The Prime telephone provides backup answering for the selected
line. The default Prime telephone has the internal number 21.
Other possible settings are any allowable internal numbers, or
None.
-

Each line can only have one Prime telephone.

-

Any Prime telephone can be assigned to provide backup
answering for more than one external line. All of these lines
do not necessarily have to appear on a line button with an
indicator; however, monitoring lines is made easier if there is
a iine button for every external line.

Auxiliary ringer
An auxiliary ringer can be enabled or disabled for calls coming in
on the line. The default setting is Yes, which means that the
ringer will ring. The other possible setting is No.
Auto privacy
Select Yes (the default) to prevent other users who have access
to a line on their telephone from using that line while a call is
already-in progress on the line. Select No, to allow a user to
select a line in use at another telephone, and join an established
call.

Terminal Adapter (ATA) if installed. See the
ATA Installation Guide for the defaults.

Line assignment
Add or remove lines to assign one or more lines to each
telephone. The default line assignments to each telephone are
Line 01 and Line 02.

:.:

-

A Private line can only be assigned to one telephone. (It is
also automatically assigned to the Prime Telephone for that
line.)

-

If you assigned the PBX template in System Startup, a Line
Pool is assigned to the telephone instead of external lines.
You_can add lines if you wish. This would allow the
telephone to ring for incoming external calls.

Answer DNs
Up to four buttons on a telephone can be programmed for
answering calls to the DNs of other telephones. The default is No
Answer DNs.

Ringing
For each line and Answer DN assigned to a telephone, you can
determine whether incoming calls will ring at the telephone.
Possible settings are Ring and No Ring. The default setting is
Ring.

Line pool access
You can determine which Line Pool each telephone has access
to. Possible settings are Yes and No. The default setting is No
for each of the three line pools, which means no telephone has
default access to Line pools.
-

Assigning a Line Pool to a telephone saves on the number of
buttons required for external lines on the telephone.

Intercom buttons
You can determine the number of Intercom buttons on the
telephone. Possible settings are 0, 1, or 2. The default setting
is 2.
-

A minimum of two Intercom buttons are required for
conferencing with two other Norstar telephones in the same

Prime line
You can assign the Prime line for each telephone. The Prime line
is the first line to be automatically provided at a telephone when
you make a call. The appropriate Prime line will depend on the

In addition to basic telephone service, your Norstar digital key
system has many extra features that will greatly improve your
off ice communications.
Please take the time to read this Guide. It will help you to learn
the various tasks which a System Coordinator should perform.
This guide also serves as a reference when you assist
co-workers to become familiar with Norstar features.
When a telephone system is first installed, it takes a bit of time to
settle into using new equipment. Norstar minimizes this
orientation by providing straightforward features and simple
instructions.

System Coordinator’s

role

The System Coordinator piays an important role in customizing
Norstar to suit the organization and updating information as the
office grows and changes.
Norstar can be customized

at three levels:

Personal programming
Personal programming is done by individual telephone users
who wish to personalize their Norstar telephones by
programming features and telephone numbers onto specific
memory buttons.
Administration programming
Administration programming is done by the System Coordinator,
whenyou want to change various system-wide settings, as well
as some specific settings for each line or telephone.
Configuration programming
Configuration programming is usually done for you by the
Installer or Customer Service representative when Norstar is
being installed. Specific system-wide parameters are set up in
Configuration.

1-2 / Welcome to Norstar

Assisting

your co-workers

is human nature to ask someone how to do something rather
than read a user guide. The System Coordinator may be asked
to demonstrate to co-workers how to select and use Norstar
features. To help you prepare for that possibility:
It

-

Familiarize yourself with the procedures for using Norstar
features. Examine the components of your Norstar system,
identifying the buttons on the different types of Norstar
telephones. Read the Telephone User Cards chapter of this
Guide for more information on each telephone.

-

Familiarize yourself with the various programming reminders
provided at the end of the Programming chapter of this
Guide. Distribute copies of these reminders to your
co-workers after filling in information such as Call Pickup
group numbers and members.

: ,“,:::
‘i :‘:y

It is important for everyone in the office to know that you are the
System Coordinator and to know when you are available for
consultation. You may wish to schedule sessions for small
groups or provide individual assistance to co-workers for
programming features on their Norstar telephones.

Your Customer Service representative
Ask your Customer Service representative for the service
department’s telephone number, and write it down. If you have
problems with your Norstar equipment, telephone your Customer
Service representative. If you have problems with programming
or using any of the features, first read the appropriate section of
this Guide and try again before calling your Customer Service
represehtative.

Call Display services / l-3

Call Display services
Some public telephone companies offer Call Display services
which provide information about an incoming call. The caller’s
name, telephone number and in some cases, long distance
indication, can be shown on a telephone with a display. Your
Norstar OR5 system uses this information so that you can:
-

view incoming call information as tiell as the Norstar line
name that receives the call,

-

keep a log of incoming call information and,

-

view an integrated display that appears when you have
received a message from either an internal Norstar user or a
Voice Mail message from an external caller.

Note:

You can access Call Display information only if you
subscribe to the services offered by your public
telephone company, and if you have the appropriate
hardware installed. Contact your Customer Service
representative for more information.

Call Display Information
Call Display information may be shown on your telephone
display when you answer an incoming call. In addition to the
caller’s name, telephone number and long distance indicator, if
available, your Norstar system can display the name of the line
that received the call.
In the-case where several users share a line, only one telephone
can be designated to automatically receive Call Display
information when a call is alerting on that line. If the call is

transferred or camped to another telephone, the Call Display
information is automatically available to that telephone.
If a line is not administered to automatically deliver Call Display
information to a telephone, the user can invoke the Call
Information feature (see Telephone features chapter) or answer
the call to view the information.

.

.

l-4 / Call Display services
Depending on your requirements, Call Display information
presents several convenient options.

‘,’
:::*::
,

-

When a caller is identified before the call is answered, you
can answer using a personal greeting. You can also prepare
yourself prior to answering the call by retrieving any relevant
documents, or otherwise orienting yourself to the expected
discussion.

-

The Long Distance indicator alerts you that an incoming call
is long distance and may therefore have higher priority.

-

If you are unable to immediately attend to an incoming call,
you can use the calling information to make a quick note.

-

You can shorten the interruption time of a call from a
recognized person. For instance, you can quickly answer the
call and let the party know that you are busy but will return
the call soon.

-

A telephone can be programmed to first view either the
caller’s name or number or line name. For example, an
attendant might wish to see the calling number and area
code first in order to transfer the call according to sales
region. The salesperson’s telephone could display the
caller’s name first so they can answer with a personal
greeting.

Call Display services / l-5
-

Call Display information allows you to answer calls on a
priority basis. For example:
l

If several calls are alerting at your telephone at the same
time, you can request information about the calls to
decide which one may be more important.

l

If you are already on a call, information about a second
call starting to alert at your telephone can help you to
decide whether to answer the second call or remain
connected to the first call.

l

If you are in a meeting, the information.associated
with
an incoming call can help you determine if the call is
important enough to interrupt the meeting.

l

If you have several calls on hold and wish to identify the
callers, you can view the Call Display information
associated with each of the calls to help you determine
which one you will respond to first.

Programming

tips

In order for the designated telephone to automatically receive
Call Display information, it must be programmed to ring for
incoming calls on that line.
Before programming Call Display information you may wish to
consider the following:
-

which individual would benefit the most from automatically
receiving Call Display information on an alerting line?

-

how are calls routed and what information is the most
important to know before a call is answered? For instance, if
certain lines are private to individuals, an attendant might
wish to first view the line name to determine who the
incoming call is for.

1-6 / Call Display services

Call Log
The Norstar Call Log feature uses incoming Call Display
information to make a record of call details for follow-up. Call Log
also records several other useful facts such as the time and date
of the log entry, the number of repeated calls by the same caller
and which telephone answered the call if it was subsequently
rerouted and handled by someone else in the Norstar system.
When the volume of incoming calls exceeds the ability of
employees to handle all calls, or when staff are unavailable to
answer calls, Call Log provides a convenient means of capturing
information about missed calls.
When connected to a call that has Call Display information, the
Logit feature of Call Log can be used to provide a quick and
accurate means of recording the caller’s information for future
use (see the Telephone Features chapter for more information).

Programming

tips

Call Log space can be assigned to individual telephones
according to how much space you wish to allocate to each user.
In order to maximize the value of Call Logs and avoid confusion
for the end user and their customers, it is important to consider
the following when configuring Call Log:
-

Application of Call Log
Does the user want to return customer calls, track the
numbers of calls unanswered, keep a record of most
commonly called numbers, etc.?

-

Who is most interested in logging calls on a particular line?
For instance, dentists working in a clinic may have an
individual line assigned to them but prefer that the
receptionist handle all of the calls logged on their line.

Call Display services / l-7
We strongly recommend that you limit the number of users
logging calls for the same line, as this would be confusing. For
example, if two users are logging calls for the same line, they do
not know who the call was originally intended for, nor are both
Call Logs updated when one of the users returns a customer’s
call. Potentially a customer could be called back twice.
There are few situations where the same call needs to be logged
at more than one set.

Recommended configuration 1
All lines appear at the Attendant Position. Incoming calls are first
answered on the Attendant’s set and then transferred to the
required destination.
The Attendant wants to track all calls unanswered on the system,
during working hours and after hours. All users want to capture in
their Call Log, any calls which they did not answer at their set
and be able to return those calls from the log.
The Attendant Position logs NO me answered on all lines and
the users log calls Unanswered
br m. In this configuration the
users will log calls transferred to them via intercom (I/C) from the
attendant or another user, even though the administration setting
set:
is (Lowing
N). Thus the entries in their Call Log are
specifically meant for them.

The Not-star system has lines 01 and 02 appearing on all sets.
The supervisor wants to log all calls for lines 01 and 02 at his/her
set in order to analyze call traffic. Two users have been selected
to return unanswered customer calls. To avoid confusion when
logging and sharing lines, one user logs No W-IEFanswered
calls on line 01 and a second user logs No 0~ answered calls
on line 02. This clearly identifies who is responsible for returning
calls for each line and ensures that only one person calls the

Message Waiting
Norstar Message Waiting allows you to send and receive internal
messages as well as maintain a record of your messages. If you
have subscribed to Voice Mail Messaging (provided by your
public telephone company), and visual message waiting
indication is available, Message Waiting also informs you if you
have messages at your Voice Message Center and allows you
to:
-

receive a visual indication that you have messages waiting,

-

call your Voice Message Center to hear your messages and,

-

clear the message waiting indication from your display.

Programming tips
In order for a telephone to use this feature, it must have a line
appearance and Message Waiting must be activated for that line
by your public telephone company.
It is possible for two or more telephones to share a line
appearance. You must determine if one, some or all of the users
sharing a line will receive Message Waiting notification. If it is a
sub-group, such as a sales team within a company, it may be
appropriate to share the feature providing that the users have an
agreed upon procedure for retrieving and deleting messages.

The system comes programmed with default settings that may be
sufficient initially. Administration programming is performed by
the System Coordinator, and lets you change settings that
probably have to be updated regularly because of staff turnover
or new business contacts. You can also assign some features to
individual lines and telephones. This provides you with real
flexibility in making your telephones work together.
This chapter contains detailed procedures for programming
System Speed Dial codes, Names for lines and telephones, and
Time and Date information. If you are new to Administration
programming, you may want to get comfortable with these three
procedures before attempting other procedures.
Personal programming does not follow the same procedures as
Administration programming. Personal programming allows you
to assign a particular function to some of the keys, and is unique
to each telephone. For more information on Personal
programming, see the Feature programming description in the
Telephone features chapter.

Hbw to do programming
The system is programmed using an M7208, M7310 or M7324
Telephone. Use the buttons on the telephone to program a
setting or to request a specific programming action.
Norstar guides you step-by-step on the telephone display while
you enter programming, select and change what you want, and
exit programming.
-_

Planning
Only one Norstar telephone can access Administration
programming at a time. While programming a telephone, you
cannot use it to make or receive calls. While you are
programming, other users of the Norstar system may use their
telephones, but cannot program any memory keys.

Entering numbers
Numbers are entered from the Norstar telephone dial pad. The
BKSP display button may be used to edit the number.
Line numbers must always be entered as a two-digit number with
a leading zero. Internal telephone numbers, also referred to as
Directory Numbers (DNs), are always two-digits long.

Viewing long telephone numbers
External telephone numbers can be up to 24 digits, but the
telephone display is only 16 character spaces long. If you wish to
see a previously programmed number that is longer than 16
digits, you must do the following:
Begin, for example, with 123456789812345....

overview / 2-9

overview

Administration programming lets you change settings for the
entire Norstar system, as well as settings for individual
telephones and external lines.
Pre-programmed default settings may initially be sufficient for
your needs. You can use Administration programming to
customize your Norstar system by changing these default
settings. In this section, default options are shown in bold type.
The defaults correspond to those assigned during Norstar
installation. The option you see while programming may be
different if that setting has been changed. If the display shows a
line number or internal number during programming, an example
is shown in the Administration procedures.

Administration

headings

Headings and sub-headings in Administration programming help
you to keep track of where you are. An example of a heading is

Dialing Filters
A dialing filter is made up of restrictions and exceptions. These
specify the external numbers which can or cannot be dialed from
a telepKone or on a line.
After dialing filters are defined, they may be used as telephone
(set) filters, line filters and line/set filters to manage outgoing
calls.
Use the [Show]
button, the m
display button, the dial pad,
and the m display button to program the restrictions and
exceptions for each dialing filter.

Cadabilities / 2-25
Use the [r]
button, the m
display button, the dial pad,
and the B display button to program the restrictions and
exceptions for each dialing filter.
Press the m display button to enter a l wild card character that
represents any digit in a sequence of numbers.
For example
You may need filters for three different types of users:
-

Managers may require unrestricted dialing.

-

Secretaries may need to be limited to calling the West coast
office on line 03 only.

-

Clerks may need to be limited to calling specific area codes
and the West coast office.

Dialing filters are most commonly used to prevent unauthorized
long-distance calls, without restricting local calls. Dialing filters
restrict the numbers that an internal user can dial on external
lines.
If a line/set filter has been defined for the line selected at the
user’s telephone, it overrides any line filters or telephone filters
which might otherwise apply.
If no line/set filters have been defined, dialed digits are filtered
through (and may be rejected by either of) the telephone filter (if
defined) and the line filter (if defined).

If you are using an earlier version of KSU software,

When restricting the dialing of a central office feature code,
do not forget to create separate restrictions for the codes
used for DTMF and pulse lines. For example, *67 and 1167.

Do not string together a central office feature code and a

You can use COPY and the dial pad to copy restrictions and

Any restriction or exception can be used in any number of

2-36 / Capabilities
A Class of Service can be associated with a telephone, a line or
a COS password. It determines the dialing capabilities that apply
to internal telephones and any lines used for external calls.
Users have a Class of Service associated with their telephones,
in the sense that there are dialing filters associated with
telephones, as well as line pool assignments. Use of a COS
password affects only the telephone’s dialing capabilities.
The ability to change the COS internally means that someone
using another person’s telephone can temporarily change the
restrictions that would normally be applied.
Password security
Class of Service passwords for a system should be
-

determined randomly, and should be changed on a regular
basis.
-

System users should memorize their COS passwords
instead of writing them down.

-

Employees’ COS passwords should be deleted when they
leave the company.

Programming hints
A system can have a maximum of 20 six-digit COS

2-38 / Service Modes

You can assign a Control telephone to more than one external
line, but a line cannot be assigned to more than one Control
telephone.
Only one Service Mode applies at any one time to all external
lines controlled by a given Control telephone.
The default Control telephone for all lines is 21.

Service Modes
The three Service Modes are programmed in the same way.

Service Mode Name
The Service Mode Name identifies the active Service Mode, and
is shown on the display of the Control telephone when the
Service Mode is turned on.
Use the [j
button, the CHFINGEdisplay button, and the
dial pad to program the Service Mode name. For information on
entering names, see the information in this chapter entitled
Entering names.
Programming

hints

The default names of the three possible Service Modes are only
suggestions, and may be changed to any other name.
A Service Mode name can be one to seven characters.

Service Mode setting
The Service Mode setting controls how the Service Mode is
turned-on and off. Use the CHRNQEdisplay button to select the
setting: Manual, Automatic, or Off.

Service Modes / 2-39
Manual allows you to turn the Service Mode on and off at any
time from a Control telephone. The Service Modes feature code
must be entered at the telephone to access this feature.
Automatic allows you to pre-assign a stop and start time during
which the Service Mode is active. You are still able to start and
stop the Service Mode by entering the Service Modes feature
code at a Control telephone. If you select this setting, you will
have to program start and stop times. See the section in this
chapter on Time and Date for information on programming times.
Off prevents the Service Mode from being activated.
Programming hints
You can only program start and stop times when the Service

Mode is set to Automatic.
Overlapping times may be assigned. For example, if Service
Mode 1 is assigned from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and Service
Mode 2 is assigned from 1:OO pm to 500 pm, then the start time
of the second Service Mode is treated as a stop time for the first
Service Mode. This is also true if two Service Modes have the
same start time but different stop times.
If one Service Mode starts and stops within the times of another
Service Mode, the first service temporarily ends when the second
service starts. The first service then resumes when the second
service has ended.
Default stop and start times correspond to typical hours which
may be required for a night Service Mode.

3-2 / Using Norstar features

Using Norstar features
To use a Norstar feature, enter the feature code and watch your
telephone display for instructions. Different displays come up at
different times, depending on how you invoke the feature and the
choices you make while using the feature. If you want more
information about a display, look it up in the Displays section of
each feature listing.
I Availability of features
Some features work only in certain circumstances. For example,
Disconnect Supervision must be available and assigned to a line
on your telephone to allow you access to the following features:
-

Line Redirection of an external call to an external number

-

Unsupervised Conference between two external calls

-

Transfer between two external calls

Disconnect Supervision is available when an Open Switch
Interval (OSI) message is provided on a line by the public
telephone system.
If Disconnect Supervision is available, your Customer Service
representative assigns Disconnect Supervision to lines in
Configuration programming. When Disconnect Supervision is
assigned to a line, the Norstar system monitors the length of the
OSI on that line to determine when an external caller hangs up.
This allows the system to release the line for other uses.
The &tes section of each feature listing contains information
concerning any restrictions affecting the availability of the
feature.

:i

Using Norstar features / 3-3
One-line and two-line displays
All Norstar telephones have LCD displays that give you
information about your calls and guide you through Norstar
features. The M7100 and M7208 Telephones have a one-line
display. The M7310 and M7324 Telephones have a two-line
display. The second line of a two-line display shows the functions
of the three buttons directly below it. If you have a telephone with
a two-line display, you can use these display buttons. Some
display buttons, such as TRANSFER
and w,
are simply
shortcuts. If you have a telephone with a one-line display, these
shortcuts are not available. Other display buttons, such as m
and SHOW, perform essential functions. If your telephone has a
one-line display, you can use the following buttons in place of
these display buttons:

You can program most Norstar feature codes onto telephone
memory buttons so that you can use the feature by pressing a
single button. See the procedures in the Feature programming
section.
Whenever the instructions tell you to enter a feature code, you
can do so either by pressing the buttons shown in the feature
description or by pressing a memory button on which the feature
code has been programmed. You can also enter a telephone
number by pressing an Autodial button, rather than entering it
manually.
Canceling a feature

your telephone work normally again you must cancel the feature.
To cancel a feature, press (Feature], then i7J and the feature
code. For example, to cancel Call Fonrvard, which you activate by
pressing [Feature] a, press [Fea]
a a.
If a feature code is programmed onto a memory button, you may
be able to cancel the feature by pressing the memory button
while the feature is active.

Using Norstar features / 3-5
If you change your mind in the middle of using a feature, you can
back out by pressing [Fea(ure] or [Rls]. Be aware that pressing
@ disconnects any active call.
M7100 Telephone
Because the M7100 Telephone does not have any line buttons it
sometimes works slightly differently from other Norstar
telephones. Where other telephones may require you to select a
line button to answer a call, on the M7100 Telephone you simply
pick up the receiver. Where other telephones require you to
select a line button to take a call off hold, you press [HOld]
on
the M7100 Telephone. The M7100 Telephone cannot have a
1-1
button. You will find special instructions for the M7100
Telephone in some feature descriptions.

3-6 / Answering the telephone

Answering

the telephone

Answering
Your Norstar telephone can receive many different types of calls.
Your telephone’s display tells you what type of call you are
receiving. The usual way to answer a call is to pick up the
receiver, but there are several other possible methods,
depending on how your system is set up and the type of call that
is ringing.

Callback
When you direct a call you have answered to another telephone,
the system monitors the call to make sure someone answers it. If
no one answers a call within a programmable length of time, the
system directs it back to you. Callback generates a variety of
displays. Most occur after a programmable delay and are listed in
this section. Some occur immediately, if the telephone to which
you are directing a call is out of service or otherwise unavailable.

These are listed with the descriptions of the features in which
they occur.

Delayed Ring Transfer DRT)
If no one answers a call within a programmable length of time,
the system transfers the call to the Prime telephone.

Call Display information
If you have subscribed to Call Display services from your local
telephone company, one line of information about an external
caller-is displayed after you answer. If your telephone has been
programmed to receive Call Display information automatically,
that information is shown before you answer. If your telephone
has not been programmed to receive Call Display information
automatically, you can use the Call Information feature
((Feature]
T;ila
a)
to view the information before you answer.

Answering the telephone / 3-7
Depending on the setting in Administration Programming and the
external information available, either the caller’s name or
telephone number is displayed. When you transfer an external
call to another Norstar user, this information is displayed on the
recipient’s telephone.
There will be a delay between the time your telephone first rings
and when Call Display information is available. If you answer a
call before the Call Display information arrives, that information is
not available for the call. Since Call Display information arrives by
the second ring, you can ensure that Call Display information is
available by answering the call after the second ring.

Notes
Telephone Administration Lock is a system feature that is related
to customizing your telephone. The System Coordinator assigns
Administration Lock to each telephone in Administration
programming.

Full Administration Lock lets you change the contrast of your
telephone’s display, your Ring Type, your Ring Volume, use
Button Inquiry, and control the volume of your speaker.
Partial Administration Lock allows you to forward your calls, turn
on Do Not Disturb and Service Modes, and use the Background
Music, Send Message, Ring Again, Privacy, and Trunk Answer

Direct-Dial

:
:

You can dial a Direct-Dial telephone with a single digit. The
Direct-Dial telephone is usually in a central location, such as a
receptionist’s or secretary’s desk. It is usually a Prime telephone
with a Central Answering Position (CAP) module.
Your Customer Service representative assigns the Direct-Dial
digit in Configuration programming.

External line access code
The external line access code is the number you dial to get an
external line. You will need to use an external line access code if
your Prime line is an internal line. The code will connect you to a
line pool through your internal line.
If your Prime line is an external line, or if you select an external
line on your telephone, you will not need an external line access
code. You will always need an external line access code on an
M7100 Telephone.
Your Customer Service representative assigns the external line
access code in Configuration programming.

Host System Signaling
You can access Host systems, such as Private Branch
Exchanges (PBX) from Norstar by using Host System Signaling
features (also known as End-to-End Signaling). These features
either send a special signal to the host system or allow you to
program delays required by host systems onto External Autodial
buttons or Speed Dial codes.

Host system signaling codes
Link

(Feature1r;7[-q

If your Norstar system is connected to a Private Branch
Exchange (PBX), you can use a Link signal to access special
features.
The Link signal can also be included as part of a longer stored
sequence on an External Autodial button or in a Speed Dial
code. The Link symbol (EE) uses two of the 24 spaces in a dialing
sequence.

Pause

[EZG-11Lj[8

The Pause feature enters a 1.5 second delay in a dialing
sequence on an external line. This is often required for signaling
remote devices, such as answering machines, or when reaching
through to PBX features or Host systems.
You can obtain a Pause with one button press if you program the
feature code onto a memory button. More than one Pause can
be programmed onto an External Autodial button.
The Pause symbol (8) uses one of the 24 spaces in a dialing

Programmed Release
The Programmed Release feature performs the function of the
m button in a programmed dialing sequence. When the system
encounters a Programmed Release at the end of a programmed
dialing sequence, it hangs up the call after the numbers are
dialed. The Programmed Release symbol (813)takes up two of
the 24 spaces in a programmed dialing sequence.

Run/Stop inserts a break point into a sequence of dialed
numbers or characters used for automatic dialing. This may be
necessary when you are connecting to a PBX or similar Host
system.
For example, you may call a company with an automated
attendant that instructs you to dial the internal number you need,
You can program the company number, a Run/Stop, then the
internal number on one External Autodial button. Press the
autodialer once to dial the company number. When you hear the
automated attendant, press the autodialer again to dial the

all the lines in a line pool are busy, the indicator for the Line Pool
button turns on. The indicator turns off when a line becomes

Notes
The Line Redirection feature is not available on the M7100
Telephone.
You can answer the telephofle if it rings while you are in the
middle of programming Line Redirection, but none of the Norstar
call handling features will be available until the feature times out:
If you need to use a Norstar feature to process the call, you must
quit Line Redirection programming by pressing the [KG--]
button. Do not press m or you will disconnect the call you
are trying to process.
While you are programming Line Redirection you will only receive
an indication of calls that actually ring at your telephone.
The system does not check that the number you give for line
redirection is a valid one. If you redirect to an invalid number,
redirection will fail. Using an External Autodialer to enter the
redirection number helps avoid this possibility. An External
Autodialer used for line redirection must have a specific line I*
programmed onto it.

3-76 / Line Redirection
If you use the fi& button to redirect all your lines, it is important
that you wait until all the lines on your telephone light up before
pressing (Hold-1
or QK. If you press (Hold]
or m before
all the lines light up, those lines not lit will not be redirected.
Be aware of the consequences of redirecting your lines. If you
redirect your line to your home, for instance, and someone calls
you from home, they will get a busy signal when the system tries
to call the telephone they are using. Companies with offices in
different time zones should avoid situations in which the lines
from the eastern office are redirected to the west and those from
the west are redirected to the east. This could result in a costly
long distance redirection loop.

The system can be set up so that redirected calls give a brief ring
on telephones in the Norstar system as they are redirected.
These calls cannot be answered within the system until you
cancel redirection.
The line chosen for redirecting calls on other lines can still be
used normally when it is not busy on a redirected call. To avoid
redirection failing because the chosen line is in use, choose a
line pool with several lines in it.
When redirecting an external call to an external number, note the
following restriction: the incoming call must be on a disconnect
supervised line.
In certain situations, callers may experience lower volume levels
when you use Line Redirection.

3-84 / Norstar Telephones

Norstar Telephones
This section covers the basic features of your Norstar telephone
and optional equipment that may be attached to it.

Buttons
Feature button

[_]

j$;;:

You use the Feature button to invoke Norstar features. See the
Using Norstar features section.

Hold button

[-I

You use the Hold button to put calls on hold. See the Hold
section. It is also used in place of the QIJ display button on
telephones with one-line displays.

Memory buttons
Memory buttons are the buttons with indicators on the M7208,
M7310, and M7324 Telephones, and the dual buttons without
indicators on the M7310 Telephone. There is also a single
memory button, without an indicator, on the M7100 Telephone.
Memory buttons can be used as any of the following buttons,
except that lines and Answer buttons must appear on buttons
with indicators.
Answer buttons
You can use an Answer button to monitor calls on another
person’s telephone. All calls to the monitored telephone appear
on the Answer button. Such calls may also ring at the telephone
with the Answer button, depending on how the system is
configured. Answer buttons are most useful for a secretary who
monitors incoming calls for one or several managers.
If more than one call is ringing at the manager’s telephone, the
first call appears on the secretary’s Answer button. Any
subsequent calls appear on Intercom buttons if they are
available.

:
.‘_

_‘_

.’

Norstar Telephones / 3-85
More than one secretary may have an Answer button for a single
manager. This allows two or more secretaries to handle calls for
a busy manager.
Similarly, one person can handle calls for up to four other people,
using separate Answer buttons for each person.
A secretary’s telephone should have a memory button with an
indicator programmed as the Internal Autodial button for the
manager’s telephone. This allows the secretary to call the
manager and to deal efficiently with incoming calls.
You cannot make calls using Answer buttons.
Answer buttons are set up by your Customer Service
representative.
Autodial buttons
Autodial buttons let you dial numbers by pressing a single button.
See the Autodial section.
Line buttons
You have one line button for each line assigned to your
telephone. You press the line button to select the line you want to
answer or use to make a call. Having several line buttons allows
you immediate access to more than one line so you can handle
and monitor calls easily. The M7100 Telephone does not have _
line buttons and can have a maximum of two lines. You can
switch between its two lines, one active and one on hold, by
pressing [HOldI.
Line buttons are set up by your Customer Service representative.

Notes
A Service Mode allows you to change which lines ring at which
telephone, to activate or deactivate the auxiliary ringer for certain
lines, and to have calls to the Direct-Dial telephone ring at the
Extra-Dial telephone. Service Modes can be programmed to
begin automatically at certain times or they can be turned on and
off at the Control telephone. Service Modes are set up in
Administration programming.
Automatic Service Modes are indicated by an asterisk (*) before
the name of the Service Mode on the display. You can neither
manually activate nor cancel automatic Service Modes, although
you can override them with manual modes,
The Control telephone can override automatic Service Modes at
any time by entering the Service Modes feature code
([Feature] [F’] n), and selecting a different Service Mode; this
override will remain in effect until it is canceled by means of

only when the Service Modes feature code ((-1
fFJm) is
entered at that Direct-Dial telephone. Note that only the
Extra-Dial telephone will be activated, not the actual Service
Mode (unless that Direct-Dial telephone is also a Control

Norstar provides three Service Modes named “Night”, “Evening”,
and “L>nch”. You can change these names to suit yourself. In
addition, there is normal service when no Service Modes are
active.

Direct-Dial telephone

.

You can dial a Direct-Dial telephone with a single digit. The
Direct-Dial telephone is usually in a central location, such as a
receptionist’s or secretary’s desk. It is usually a Prime telephone
with a CAP module.
There may be none or one Direct-Dial telephone in your system.
Each telephone in the system can be assigned to the Direct-Dial
telephone. There is a single Direct-Dial digit for the whole system
that lets each assigned telephone call the Direct-Dial telephone.
Each Norstar Direct-Dial telephone can send up to 30 messages
and each can invoke Service Modes to activate the Extra-Dial
telephone. (It cannot activate the entire Service Mode unless it is
also the Control telephone.)
Your Customer Service representative programs the Direct-Dial
digit in Configuration programming. The Direct-Dial telephone is
identified and assigned to telephones in Administration

Emergency telephone
The Emergency telephone is a single-line telephone (not a
Norstar telephone) that functions independently of the Norstar
system. You can use the Emergency telephone when your
Norstar system is not working.
Emergency Transfer/Power Failure Cut-through provides basic
telephone service on external line 01 through an Emergency
telephone if the power fails or if a system error occurs.

.

The Emergency telephone is usually located near the Key
Service Unit (KSU). Each KSU can support two Emergency
telephones, and each Trunk Module can support one additional
Emergency telephone.

Extra-Dial telephone
In Service Modes, a second telephone can be assigned to ring
on calls made to the Direct-Dial telephone. There may be one
Extra-Dial telephone for the Direct-Dial telephone, and it may be
a different telephone in each Service Mode.

Hotline telephone
You can call a programmed internal or external telephone
number simply by picking up the receiver of the Hotline telephone
(or by pressing IHandsfreej).
A Hotline telephone can be set up to dial an operator or an.

Class of Service
The Class of Service for a call consists of all the Norstar features
and lines available to you for that call. This is determined by the
features assigned to the telephone in Administration
programming, including all Dialing Filters.
Users who need to dial numbers not permitted by the Class of
Service of the line or telephone that they are using, can switch to
a different Class of Service by entering a Class of Service
Password.

Internal numbers
Each telephone in the Norstar system has its own internal
number. The length of internal numbers in your system is 2 digits.

If Disconnect Supervision is available, your Customer Service
representative assigns Disconnect Supervision to lines in
Configuration programming. When Disconnect Supervision is
assigned to a line, the Norstar system monitors the length of the
OSI on that line to determine when an external caller hangs up.
This allows the system to release the line for other uses.
You can determine if a line is disconnect supervised by referring
to the Compact DR5 Programming Record.
Line appearance
Any of the lines in your system may appear at any of your
telephones. Your Customer Service representative assigns lines
to telephones in Configuration programming.
Usually, only the lines that are appropriate for a particular person
appear at that person’s telephone. When a line is assigned to a
telephone it is automatically given a line button on that
telephone, if a button is available. The M7100 Telephone has no
line buttons for its lines.
Normally, yokecannot answer a call that is ringing on a line that
does not appear on your telephone. To pick up such a call, use
Call Pickup, Call Park, or Transfer.
Hung lines
A line that has been redirected using Line Redirection may
remain busy after a call is over. If this happens, the outgoing line
for the redirection will also remain busy. These are hung lines
and you must clear them.

indication that a line is hung. However, the solid line indicator
may also indicate a genuine call in progress. Make reasonably
sure that the line is indeed hung before clearing it or you may cut
off a real conversation.
You can clear a hung line only at the telephone that was used to

Line Pools
A line pool allows each telephone access to external lines from a
group (or “pool”) of external lines. You can access such lines by
pressing an Intercom button and entering a line pool access
code, by entering the feature code and entering a line pool
access code, or by pressing a memory button programmed with
the line pool feature code and a line pool access code.

Prime line
Your telephone can be programmed to select an internal or
external line or a line pool automatically whenever you lift the
receiver or press lHandsfree].This is your Prime line.
Your Customer Service representative assigns your prime line in
Configuration programming.
Ringing Line Preference
Each telephone in the Norstar system can be programmed by
your Customer Service representative to ring or remain silent for
incoming calls on any external lines that appear on the
,
telephone.
For example, a telephone may have buttons assigned for lines
01 to 03, but have only lines 01 and 02 programmed to ring. An
incoming call on any of the three lines causes a line button
indicator to flash, and the telephone can be used to answer the
call. This is especially useful for people who monitor other
telephone lines, but want only their own lines to actually ring.
If a telephone has an external line as a Prime line, that line is
usually made to ring.

Speed Dial codes 01 to 70 are the same for the entire system.

What is a Prime
Telephone?

DR5

Prime Telephone

User Card / 4-9

A Prime Telephone can be any Meridian Norstar* telephone that has been
assigned to provide a backup answering service for incoming external calls.
An external call rings at a Prime Telephone when the call is not answered at
any other Norstar telephones with that call’s line appearance.
A Prime Telephone can be any one of the following:
l

‘_

l

-.
l

any Norstar telephone
an M7310 telephone with a Busy Lamp Field (BLF)
an M7324 telephone with Central Answering Position (CAP) modules.

Your role in
operating a Prime
Telephone

As the assigned Prime Telephone operator, you are responsible for
answering unanswered external calls. You are alerted to these calls when your
telephone display shows you a descriptive message, the line indicator b
flashes, and the call rings.
After answering a call, you may take a message or send the call to another
telephone.

Who assigns the
external lines for my
Prime Telephone?

Check with your System Coordinator to determine which external lines have
been assigned to ring at your Prime Telephone when unanswered at another
Norstar telephone. To help you do your job well, your System Coordinator
should provide a list of names and numbers associated with each internal
telephone and external line, and a list of System Speed Dial names and
numbers. Your System Coordinator can also tell you which features have been
assigned to your telephone.

Handling calls using
display messages

The display messages which appear when calls are automatically routed,to
your Prime Telephone should help you to understand why you received those
calls. This information is useful when you need to decide what to do with the
call once you answer it.
The following table lists some display messages that could appear on a Prime
Telephone when calls are routed to you:

DNDfrom 23

The person at telephone 23 has routed an
external call to you using Do Not Disturb
while the call was ringing.

DND transfer

The system has routed an external call to
you from a telephone placed in Do Not
Disturb mode to prevent calls from ringing.

DRT Line

Nobody answered this call on line 02, so the
system has routed it to you.

Held

02

Karen has held a call for too long, so the
system has routed it to you.

br KFlREN

Line 01 to Prime

There is no telephone that can receive a call
on line 01, so the system has routed it to
you.

Line

A transferred, camped, or parked call on
line 04 was returned to the originator using
the Callback feature, but was not answered.

04 call back

The Held Line Reminder message On ho1 d: LINENF~M is repeated
periodically after the first message He1d by KRREN appears. This message
is accompanied by the same tone used with the Camp-On feature (two quick
beeps).
The Held Line Reminder message only shows the line name of one held call. If
there is more than one call on hold, the line name of the oldest held call is
shown. When you retrieve the oldest held call and the end that call by hanging
up or putting it on hold, the display will change to show the next oldest held
call, if any.
Note: if Your KSU has an earlier system version, the Held Line Reminder
messaae will be H+l d ~a1 1.
