Customer use Callers in the public network can: call directly to one or more Norstar telephones, call into the Norstar system and select outgoing tie-lines to access the private network, call into the Norstar system and select outgoing Central Office lines to access the public network, and call into the Norstar system and use remote features.

6 / Bits and Pieces You may configure a loop start line as the Prime line for a Norstar telephone. E&M trunks An E&M trunk gives incoming and outgoing tie-line access from other systems in the private network to the Norstar system. E&M trunks can be configured as manual-answer or auto-answer.
Page 13
Norstar system answers the call and interprets the incoming digits: If the digits map onto a target line, Norstar routes the call to all Norstar devices with an appearance of that line. If the digits map onto the DISA DN, you hear a stuttered dial tone, and must use a DTMF telephone to enter a valid Class of Service password to get the system dial tone.
Page 14
DID trunks DID trunks give you direct inward dialing (DID) from the public network to the Norstar system. A typical application of these trunks is to map incoming digits onto target line appearances within the Norstar system. DID trunks can operate only as auto-answer trunks.
Page 15
When a call comes in on a DID trunk, Norstar interprets the incoming digits: If the digits map onto a target line, Norstar routes the call to all Norstar devices with an appearance of that line. If the digits map onto the DISA DN, you hear a stuttered dial tone, after which you must use a DTMF telephone to enter a valid Class of Service password to get the system dial tone.

Telephone features chapter of this ‘Installer Guide. Auxiliary Ringing If the Norstar system has an auxiliary ringer (a bell that is not part of a telephone), the target line can be administered so that the auxiliary ringer alerts in addition to the telephone ringer.
Page 22
16 / Benefits Overflow Call Routing If a call comes in for a target line that is busy, Norstar routes the call to the Prime telephone for that target line. If you don’t assign a Prime telephone for the target line or if a call cannot be mapped onto a target line, the call will go to the Prime telephone for the incoming trunk.

A list shows the Norstar hardware required to support the configuration. Tables show the Configuration and Administration programming required.

3. Call Handling Trunk lines and Target lines In order to configure a Norstar system, you need to distinguish between trunks and target lines. A trunk is a physical line numbered from 001 to 680 (in a fully expanded system).
Trunks A trunk provides the physical connection between a Norstar system and other systems (Norstar or otherwise) in a private or public network. Norstar uses three types of trunks: Loop start and E&M trunks can be used for both incoming and outgoing calls.
Page 125
By default, auto-answer Loop start trunks are answered by the system DISA (Direct Inward System Access) capability, and are used to provide controlled access to a Norstar system’s resources from the public network. A user makes or receives calls on a manual-answer Loop start trunk by having a line appearance of the trunk, or by selecting a line pool containing the trunk to make a call.
Page 126
DISA (Direct inward System Access) capability, and are used to provide controlled access to a Norstar system’s resources from elsewhere in a private network. Capabilities available to a remote user are determined by a Class of Service associated with the trunk or by the remote user’s DISA...
Remote system access The remote access feature allows callers elsewhere on a private network, or on the public network, to get access to a Norstar system by dialing directly without going through an attendant. Once on the system, the remote user can use some of the system’s resources.
Page 129
Remote access on E&M trunks connected to a Nodes on the private network deliver the last dialed digits to the destination Norstar node, for interpretation by the destination digits to a target line or interprets the digits as a remote feature request.
