What is an Attendant?

The attendant of a telephone system is typically the first person to
answer an incoming call and usually directs incoming calls to the
proper person or department within the system. In addition to call
control, the attendant controls system-wide operating features such as
night transfer (of ringing) and the system clock. Additionally, the
attendant is responsible for programming such items as system speed
dial numbers and LCD messages that are available to many of the
system users.

The system provides two fixed attendant positions at default (stations
1 and 2, intercom 1001 and 1002); however, installers can assign any
or all stations (up to 96 total) as attendant stations if they wish.
Installers can also assign up to four DSS/BLF consoles to each
attendant position where needed. In addition to the many installer­enabled feature buttons that the system can make available at any
station, the system provides the attendant position with several
special purpose installer-enabled feature buttons to enhance call pro­cessing. These special purpose buttons are described in Chapter 8.

GCA70281

August, 03 Comdial iii

The system also provides capabilities for either a local stand-alone
system or a system-to-system network. System-to-system net­working connects several DXP, DXP Plus, FXS, FXT, and FXII
systems together in an arrangement that allows unified communica­tions through the system. For a complete list of features and their
properties, see Appendix E, Feature Networking Support.

1. GETTING STARTED

1.1 Welcome

Congratulations and thank you for using a Comdial telephone! Your
digital speakerphone is supported by a communication system with
hundreds of built-in, standard features. This manual serves as a
helpful guide for using these various functions.

The sections in this introductory chapter help you initially set up your
speakerphone and become familiar with the controls and indicators.
The remaining sections are titled as follows:

• Setting Up Your Speakerphone

• Understanding the Basic Functions

• Your Speakerphone’s Buttons

• Your Speakerphone’s Display Lights

1.2 Setting Up Your Speakerphone

When your new speaker­phone arrives, the system
installer unpacks it and con­nects the line to a system
jack. The following sec­tions describe a few initial
adjustments that allow you
to quickly begin making and
answering calls with some
of the most basic features.

Getting Started GCA70-281

2 Comdial August, 03

1.2.1 POSITIONING YOUR SPEAKERPHONE

You should adjust the position of the speakerphone on your desk or
table to suit your individual needs and maximize the performance of
the sound activated features. When using your speakerphone, the
microphone and loudspeaker are farther from you than when you use
a handset. Some positioning tips to consider include:

For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three feet
of it and face the speakerphone.

Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches from
operating properly. Avoid placing the speakerphone where it will
detect sounds from typewriters, keyboards, printers, paging systems,
and other equipment.

Place the telephone on a hard surface and away from table edges. Do
not place the telephone in corners or enclosures. Do not let obstruc­tions come between you and the microphone.

If you are using an Impact SCS model, your telephone has an
adjustable pedestal to allow you to select the most comfortable
viewing angle. When you receive the telephone, the pedestal is in its
lowest position—flush against the pedestal.

• To adjust the pedestal
(Impact SCS Models
only),

1. GRASP the rear of the

pedestal base firmly with
one hand AND LIFT the
rear portion of the tele­phone upward with your
other hand.

2. LIFT the telephone

upward with one hand
AND RAISE the telephone supporting arms upward with your
other hand. (Notice there are three sets of notches under the
telephone corresponding to the three positions available.)

3. When the telephone is at the desired height, SELECT the clos-

est pair of notches AND INSERT the supporting arms in the
notches. PRESS DOWN slightly on the telephone until you
feel the supporting arms snap into place.

Also remember, as with any piece of electronic equipment, your tele­phone may be damaged by contact with liquids. So please try to place
the telephone in an area that is free from the danger of spills.

1.2.2 SETTING DISPLAY CONTRAST

You can darken or lighten the contrast of the display for best viewing.

• To adjust the display contrast,

1. SELECT OPTIONS.

2. SELECT NEXT until the DISP option appears.

3. SELECT DISP. Your display will read CONTRAST LEVEL

4. SELECT LIGHT or DARK once for each degree of change

desired.

5. PRESS SPEAKER to end.

NOTE:For more tips and information on speakerphone use
including the use of a Full-Duplex Speakerphone, see Appendix D,
Speakerphone Characteristics,

Getting Started GCA70-281

1.2.3 SETTING A PERSONAL RINGING TONE

You can choose one of many different ring tones for your telephone.
Often, when several telephones are located close together, each user
chooses a different personal ring tone.

• To select one of the ring tones, proceed as follows:

1. SELECT OPTIONS.

2. SELECT NEXT until the RING option appears.

3. SELECT RING.

4. SELECT UP OR DOWN to choose ring tone in display (a

new tone will sound at each up or down press).

5. PRESS SPEAKER to end.

1.2.4 SETTING VOLUME LEVELS

The volume control on your telephone
is a multipurpose control you can use
to set the volume (loudness) of the
ringer, the speaker, and the handset.

• To set the ringer loudness
level,

—While your telephone is on-

hook and idle, PRESS the VOL-

UME UP OR VOLUME
DOWN button once for each change in loudness you desire.

The ringer sounds once for each change as an example of the
current setting.

Note: If you set the ringer to the OFF position, your telephone
sounds a short ring burst once for each call you receive at your sta­tion.

speaker volume that you
desire.

3. LIFT handset.

4. PRESS the VOLUME UP OR VOLUME DOWN button once

for each change in handset volume that you desire.

1.2.5 ANSWERING AND MAKING CALLS

Your speakerphone is now properly configured to answer and make
calls to both stations within your system (intercom calls) and outside
lines. Remember that when dialing an outside number, you must first
select a line to connect your system to the local exchange.

• When you hear outside ringing (long bursts),

1. PRESS flashing line button.

2. SPEAK toward telephone OR LIFT handset if privacy is

desired.

Note: When a call ends, the system resets the speaker and handset
volume of all future calls to the programmed (default) setting. For
instructions in setting your speakerphone’s default volume, see Vol­ume Control section in the system specific Features chapter.
