CHAPTER 2. DESCRIPTION

This chapter describes the two attendant console models: the Basic
(Figure 2-1 ) and the Enhanced Attendant Console (Figure 2-2), and the
optional selector console (Figures 2-3 and 2-4). The call information displays and tones
associated with console functions are also defined.

The attendant console is used to answer and extend incoming calls, to place outgoing calls,
to provide information and assistance to inside and outside parties, and to manage and

monitor some

Attendant

This desk-top unit is a digital call-handling position with push-button controls and lamps
grouped in functional areas as shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-2. The differences in the
functional areas between the models are described later in this chapter. The attendant
console can be used alone or with the selector console.

The attendant console has jacks on each side for use with the handset supplied with the

console or with a headset. The handset cradle, which is not a switchhook, can be mounted
on either side. The K-type handset provided with the Enhanced Attendant Console can also
be used with the Basic Attendant Console but the R-type handset provided with the Basic
Attendant Console cannot be used with the Enhanced Attendant Console. Also, any headset
that currently works with the Basic Attendant Console will work with the Enhanced Attendant
Console.

when at least one call is waiting to be answered. The Calls Waiting Warning
(Enhanced) lamp and the lamp on the right (on the Basic) lights when the calls
waiting exceed the limit preset (by the System Manager) for the system.

Calls waiting in the queue of the attendant’s individual extension number are
indicated by the top lamp over the Forced Release button (all system versions of
basic console except V1) or the Individual Calls Waiting lamp (enhanced console
only).

• Individual Calls Waiting (Enhanced Console Only)
The Individual Calls Waiting lamp lights when calls made to the attendant’s individual

extension number are waiting in queue to be answered. The Individual Calls Waiting

lamp lights when at least one call is waiting to be answered.

• Pos Avail (Position Available)
The Pos Avail lamp lights when the console is available for calls to the attendant

group. This lamp does not indicate whether or not the console is available for

individual attendant (Version 2, Version 3, and Generic 1 ) calls.

This lamp is dark when the attendant is active on a call, when a call is ringing the
console, when the handset or headset is unplugged, when the attendant presses the

Pos Busy (Position Busy) button, or when the system is in a mode other than that for

which the console is assigned (night service, for example). The Pos Busy button is

described in “Feature Buttons.”

easier.
appear on every attendant console. The location of these feature buttons is the same on the
attendant consoles used in V1, V2, and V3 systems. For Generic 1 systems only, the location
of Split and Forced Release is the same. The location of the Hold, Night, and Position Busy
buttons can be changed; however, they must appear in the Feature Area of the attendant
console of ail Generic 1 systems. The System Manager can assign the remaining 19 buttons
as optional feature buttons on attendant consoles used in all systems or as Hundreds Group
Select (HGS) buttons in Generic 1 systems only, based on the needs of the individual
attendant.

The location of the fixed feature buttons within the Feature Area of the attendant console is
shown in Figure 2-10. Figure 2-10 also shows where the software locates the Night, Position
Busy, and Hold buttons on the attendant console. The buttons and associated lamps
function as follows:

Five buttons, one each for Split, Hold, Forced Release, Night, and Position Busy

.

Feature Buttons

• Split

Calls are split from the console when the attendant, active on a call, wants to talk to
another party privately and presses the desired button to originate another call on the

same call appearance. The original party is split away and the attendant can talk to
the new party without the original party hearing the conversation. If the attendant
presses the Split button, the original party and the attendant are conference
together.

• Hold

Places a call on hold. The Hold lamp associated with the call appearance button
lights steadily. The Hold lamp is described in “Call Appearance Button Area. ”

• Forced Release

Releases the attendant and disconnects all parties on an active trunk-to-trunk
connection established by the attendant.

With all system versions except V1, the top lamp associated with the Forced Release
button (Basic Console only) lights when a call is waiting in the attendant’s individual
queue. For Enhanced Consoles, the Individual Calls Waiting lamp located in the Call
Processing Area lights.

.

2-12

CHAPTER 2. DESCRIPTION

• Night

Places switch in night service. Then only the console administered as the
“night” console will receive calls to the attendant group. Also, trunk group
calls (other than calls on trunk groups with individual Trunk Group Night
Service) will go to their assigned night destination.

The primary and daytime consoles are placed in the Night Service mode
when the attendants go off duty. This makes the night console available for
calls.

When the daytime attendants return to duty, the Night button is pressed to
deactivate the Night Service mode.

The lamp associated with the Night button lights at all consoles and voice
terminals when the Night Service feature is activated and goes dark when the
feature is deactivated.

The Night button must be

• Pos Busy (Position Busy)
Places the console in a busy mode. Incoming calls to the attendant group

cannot be received; however, calls can be originated. With V1 systems,
Position Busy is denied if all other attendant positions are in the busy mode.
With all other system versions, all attendants can be in the Position Busy
mode at the same time. If all other attendants are in the Position Busy mode
and the last available attendant activates Pos Busy, the top lamp (or the only
lamp of a single-lamp button) of the Pos Busy button will flash at all the in­service attendant consoles in the attendant group.

The attendant should press Pos Busy if the console will be unattended to
prevent calls from routing to the console. To get the console out of the busy
state, press Pos Busy again.

CHAPTER 2. DESCRIPTION

Assigned Hundreds Group Select (HGS) Buttons (Generic 1 Only)

Should your console handle calls for an 800 line or greater system or a system with more

than 8 hundreds groups and you do not have the Enhanced Selector Console, the System

Manager may assign as many as 12 HGS buttons on the Feature Area of the Basic Attendant
Console used with the Generic 1 system (Figure 2-1 O). The HGS buttons work the same way
on the attendant console as they do on the selector console. Regardless of the location of
the HGS buttons, a selector console must be used.

Note: With the Basic Attendant Console, 12 HGS buttons are located on the

attendant console and 8 are located on the selector console. With the

Enhanced Selector Console, all HGS buttons should be located on the
selector console to make the feature buttons free for other features. All HGS
buttons are assigned on the Attendant Console form.

The HGS buttons are labeled with the hundreds numbers used for the system dial plan. For
example, for a 4-digit extension number system, these buttons can be labeled 21, 22, 34, and
so on. On the other hand, these buttons can be labeled 1, 2, 3, and so on for a 3-digit
system. The lamp associated with the HGS button lights when the button is pressed and
remains lighted until a different HGS button is pressed. To use the Direct Extension
Selection (DXS) buttons on the selector console, see “Using the DXS Buttons” in this
chapter.

Assigned Feature Buttons

Table 2-A provides a list of feature buttons that can be assigned to the attendant console

and a brief description of what each button does. The buttons used with Hospitality Services
operations are listed, although the procedures used with these features are not covered in
this manual. The lamp associated with an assigned button flashes momentarily if the button
is pressed, but the feature is not available at that time.
