Programming a system using a workbook
Once you have configured your workbook file, you can use it to program a Norstar system.
To change the programming of a Norstar system which has already been configured, make sure
that the configuration data in the workbook matches the Norstar system programming. For
example, if the Norstar system has been upgraded (more set or line ports added), or if DNs have
been renumbered, you should acquire the Startup sheet before making any changes to the
workbook. Refer to
“Acquiring information from a programmed system” on page 96 .
In general, programming changes should be made by acquiring information from the regions on
the Norstar system that need to be programmed, changing the programming in the workbook, then
copying the required regions back to the Norstar system.
This section describes how to transfer the data from the workbook to the Norstar system, and
includes the following information:
• “Using the workbook for programming” on page 91
• “Programming an existing system” on page 94
• “Creating and using an update workbook” on page 94
Warning:
If the following prompt appears when you are trying to save a workbook, press

Warning:
When you use the Off-line Programming tool to program a newly-installed
Norstar system, or one which has undergone a cold start, make sure that the Start DN
entered in the workbook matches the one entered on the Norstar system.
Use FEATURE **STARTUP to confirm the setting.
