P0607114 Issue 01 Compact Plus System Administration Guide
You must be the administrator
If the installer has given this guide to you, you’re most likely the
system administrator.
As an administrator, your role is to
• help your colleagues learn to use their Norstar and Business
Series Terminal (BST) telephones
• change Norstar programming to customise the system for your
office or to keep up with changes in your office environment
or personnel
• call for help or service when necessary
System Administration Guide contains all the information you
need to become proficient at using and programming the
Compact Plus system.
Here’s what you need to start programming
By following instructions on the telephone display and by
pressing a few keys, you can change the Compact Plus system to
suit the specific needs of your office. Before you begin
programming, make sure you have one of the following:
• T7316E telephone and the T7316/T7316E programming
overlay.

OR
• an M7324N telephone and its programming overlay.
Placing the programming overlay
Place the programming overlay on the appropriate memory keys
as shown in the preceding illustrations. Four memory keys have
special functions during a programming session. Once you exit
programming, the keys return to their normal functions. The
programming keys are active or inactive at different stages of
programming. When a key is active, the indicator next to it is lit
with a (ªor º).
This is what each programming key does:
Heading—shows you the heading for the current level
Back—moves you back one item at the current level
Show—shows you the first setting within the level
Next—moves you one item forward at the current level

Understanding the telephone keys
Take a few minutes to study the telephones. Notice that the T7316
and M7324 telephones do not have a Shift key or dual memory
keys.

Telephone programming buttons
This guide shows the Business Series Terminal (BST) buttons.
The following table shows how the BST (T-series) buttons
compare with the Norstar telephones (M-series).
To use a feature: Press ≤, ƒor ƒ and enter the
feature code. For example: Press ≤·°⁄ to access your
mailbox.
Note: The BST terminal programming keys have label tabs
beside the buttons.
Entering numbers and letters using the keypad
Use the keys on the telephone keypad to enter numbers and letters
during programming. When you enter programming or use a
feature code, the keys you press often spell a word. For example,
when you press ≤••¤flfl‹››, the number keys
spell CONFIG. The C is on key number 2, the O is on key number
6, the N is also on key number 6, and so on. However, the display
shows numbers instead of letters. The word just provides an easy
way to remember the sequence of numbers.
Entering names using the keypad
When you want to use a key to spell a name, such as naming a
hunt group during programming, the function of the key changes
according to the number of times you press the key. The
following illustration shows the functions for the keypad key ‹
when entering letters.
Mute key Mutes handset and microphone.
Only available on T7316 and T7316E keystations.
Handsfree key Turns on speaker so user does not have to pick up handset or use
headset.
Only available on T7316E keystations.
Headset key Allows user to use switch between headset and handset answer
mode without removing headset.

More about display keys
Use the three display keys below the display on your telephone to
set and select options. Their function depends on the instruction
that appears on the display directly above each key. Some display
instructions that you may see during programming are DOWN, UP,
or OK.

P0607114 Issue 01 Compact Plus System Administration Guide
Ending a programming session
The system proceeds with any changes you make to
programming as soon as you move away from a setting, either by
using the navigation keys or ®.
You can see if the changes you have made to telephone
programming have taken effect by pressing the UPDATE display
key. The display shows you how many telephones are still
waiting to update.
Using passwords to access programming
There are three passwords for Administration programming.
•‡¤‡fi°‡ (SAPLUS) — The System Administrator
Plus password accesses all the settings for Administration
programming, plus several installer settings.
•¤‹fl›fl (ADMIN) — The Administrator password
accesses most of the settings for Administration
programming.
•¤¤‡›¤ (BASIC) — The Basic password accesses a
few settings that can be changed using feature codes.
The Basic password allows you to delegate some of the duties of
being an administrator without allowing access to sensitive
programming. It should be given out with care and changed when
necessary (for example, when someone leaves the company).
For information about changing passwords, see “Setting the
Basic password” on page 173. For more information about the
settings that can be changed with the Basic password, see "Using
passwords" on page 29.

Compact Plus System Administration Guide P0607114 Issue 01
Understanding your system
Exchange lines have been set up by your installer to be either
public, private, or part of a line pool.
• A public line is assigned to more than one extension.
• A private line is assigned to only one extension and to the
Prime extension for that line.
• A line can be assigned to one of three line pools. Extensions
are assigned access to line pools and they share the lines in the
pool with other extensions having access to that pool.
The Compact Plus system automatically assigns extension 221 as
the Prime extension for each exchange line. The Prime extension
provides back-up answering for all unanswered calls coming in
on the exchange line.
Map of Administrator Plus programming
The programming map on the following pages shows the
headings, sub-headings, and settings that you can view when you
access the programming menus after pressing
≤••¤flfl‹›› (CONFIG) and entering the
Administrator Plus password ‡¤‡fi°‡.
