5. Overrides
How It Works
An Override is a sequence of digits that is programmed to bypass a
corresponding Restriction.
For example, if your system is
programmed with a general Restriction against long-distance calls,
you may still want to allow long distance calls to the head office of
your company on certain lines or certain telephones. To do this,
program the digits of the head office number as an Override, and
apply it to the desired lines or telephones.
Your Norstar system comes with five pre-set (default), as listed on
the table below; however, they are not applied to any lines or
telephones. In order for the Overrides to function, they must be
applied to the appropriate lines and telephones. The following
procedures explain how to apply the Overrides to lines or
telephones to suit your needs.
