The central answering position
The Meridian Norstar* central answering position (CAP) consists of a Norstar M7324 telephone and
one or two CAP modules. A CAP module is an add-on device that provides 48 extra memory or line
buttons for an M7324 telephone. You can connect up to two CAP modules to an M7324 telephone.
Your telephone is assigned as a central answering position by your installer or customer service
representative.

By giving you one-touch access to many more lines, features and autodial
numbers, the CAP module makes it easier for you to:
• answer external calls
• check the status of the telephones in your Norstar system
• transfer calls to your co-workers' telephones
When CAP modules are first plugged into your telephone, each CAP
module button is pre-assigned either to select a line or to dial an internal
number.
As a central answering position, with two CAP modules, your telephone can
be assigned up to 120 lines. Lines are assigned to a CAP module beginning
with the button in the top left corner and moving down.
Buttons on a CAP module cannot be assigned as incoming line group or
answer buttons. These buttons can only be assigned to your M7324
telephone. You cannot move incoming line group buttons from your M7324
telephone to your CAP module.
After lines are assigned, any remaining buttons on your CAP module(s)
become internal autodial buttons, starting with the lowest default internal
number.
