How do I program a norstar t7316e phone to call long distance?

No, you need a system, it's a digital phone and your home phone is analog.

you may need to reprogram some buttons. Read this: https://downloads.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/100142786
This is the telephone user card. Take note 'button inquiry' 'Button programming' and button labeling (desktop assistant (downloadable button labeler)(change font for size and bold the lettering)). If you need the feature codes for your Norstar sets... google 'Norstar feature codes"

You need to ensure that the main bell is programmed to ring, also that the extensions are also programmed to ring as well. Also check that the ringer is switched on, on the base of the telephones. Also ensure your handsets to not go over the ren value permitted. Make sure the service is on the correct day service and not night service. Check that the handsets ring internally and ensure they are registered with the system. Ensure that the connections and wiring are also correct,

The system has a built-in feature called "Set Relocation", which will allow you to move your phone to another active telephone jack in your office and the extension number, voicemail box, and all features will stay with your phone.

Have your system administrator turn on Set Relocation, or check your Norstar administration manual for programming details. Or, you can call your telecom service company and have them send a technician.

If your telephone rings when you are on a call you will have to go into programming on the system and set DND on Busy to "Y" it will be set to "N" at the moment hence your phone rings when you are on a call, be carefull if your phone is the only phone to ring on incomming calls if you get a second call comming into system when you are on a call there will be no audiable ringing on any telephone to aleart you to this second i/c call.

You need to go into system administration and setup "Target Lines" for each DDI number. Then assign the Target Lines to telephones. Please refer to your administration manual for programming instructions as different systems & different levels of software will have a unique range of numbers for target lines.
Good Luck!

Not too sure what type of manual you are looking for, but here is a useful link to have for a Norstar system information.

Look at the bottom of the set that is giving you troubles, check to see if the handset is plugged into the correct spot.

It should be plugged into the Handset jack not the headset jack.

This is a common mistake.

If you are fmailiar with the programming of the system, you must set the lines (3-8) to appear and ring on the extensions.

Assuming you have a later release MICS or CICS:

Press Feature ** 266344, then the installer password.
Press Show at Terminals and Sets, enter ext #.
Press Show until you are asked for the line number, then scan through the line appearances, and change to "Appear Only" on the lines you don't want to ring at that set.

Repeat for each extension you want to change.


DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH PROGRAMMING.....

When we purchased our Norstar T7316E system, the rep set up BASIC as our password.

Can you please send me a copy of your manual?
