Shutting down the NAM

warning IMPORTANT! Always shutdown the NAM gracefully (F915) before removing power. Not doing so risks disk corruption.

The NAM (Norstar Applications Module) is a standard PC and uses the OS2/Warp operating system, which is similar to Windows. When it is necessary to power off the NAM, DO NOT just pull the power cord. You must perform a graceful shutdown procedure as follows:

1. Press Feature 915

If F915 does not give a Password prompt, try feature codes
from F910 to F949 until you do get a Password prompt

Continue with the following prompts and responses:

2. Password - enter 2223772# (ACCESS2)
3. ACCESS Server - press NEXT
4. System shutdown - press SHOW
5. Shutdown type - press GRACE
6. Shutdown graceful - press YES

Wait about 30 seconds until you hear a series of tones with descending pitch... it's now safe to remove the NAM's power cord.
