Norstar Compact Integrated Communications System (ICS)

Norstar Compact Integrated Communications System (ICS) continues the standards set by Norstar for providing friendly, intuitive business communications. It combines the latest technological advances with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Windows on every Norstar phone, making it powerful, yet easy to use.

The Norstar Compact ICS (CICS) is packed with over 100 powerful features, like integrated Automated Attendant which will answer your calls and route them to the right person or group if desired. If you equip your Compact ICS with Caller ID (CLID) and subscribe to the service from your local telephone company, your Norstar telephone’s LCD Window will show you numbers (and names, where available) of the people calling. This feature allows you decide whether to take the call or return it later with the simple touch of a key.

With Direct Inward System Access (DISA), you can dial into your CICS remotely and use system features, direct dialing to internal office telephone sets, and use cost-saving outgoing lines. Other standard features include:

• Auto Daylight Savings Time
  

• Paging
  

• Music on Hold
  

• Automatic Set Relocation
  

• Toll Restriction
