Understanding the Console L ayout
Your console is a powerful communications tool. With it, you function as a
communications hub by managing calls and performing a variety of special
functions. The goal of this chapter is to familiarize you with the console layout.
Issue 4

At the end of this chapter, you will be able to describe the layout of your console.
Physical Layout of Your Console
At first glance, your console may look like an oversized phone with a few too
many buttons and lamps (lights). While your console can func ti on l ike a phone, it
also manages several additional functions. In fact, your console, with its many
buttons and lamps, has functional groups designed to manage outside lines,
incoming calls, and special features.
Two types of consoles are described in this chapter: the 302A/B and the 302C
console. The following section contains drawings of 302A/B and 302C consoles
followed by information on their layout.

wish to transfer a call to extension 3452, press the HGS button labeled 34, then
press the DXS button labeled 52.
The 100 DXS buttons are labeled from 00 to 99. When combined with the HGS
buttons, they provide up t o 800 possibl e extensi ons for the basic cons ole and up to
2000 possible extension s for the enhanced console. For mo re i nf ormat i on on how

Determining Extension Number Status
You can determine the status of an extension by pressing the two buttons
necessary to complete the extension and looking at the lamp to the left of the
appropriate DXS button.
■ If the lamp is dark, the extension is idle.
■ If the lamp is lighted, the extension is in use. You can still transfer a call if
system users have more than one line available. Ask your system manager
about the phones in your company.
■ If the extension is busy, you hear a busy tone.

remain steady until the station is no longer busy. At that time, the lamp

icon for the associated extension.
