softkey functions that are available for handling the call. One of these functions is Override,
another is Msg Waiting.

The [F1> to [F0> labels on the display correspond to the [F1> to [F0> keys on the consoles.
To use a softkey function, press the [F1> to [F0> key that corresponds to the display label for
that function.

Console Display

During call handling, the upper two lines identify the SOURCE or calling party [SRC] and the
DESTINATION or called party [DST].

The two lower lines, labeled [F1> to [F0>, show the current softkey labels. For example, if [F8>
is labeled [Override], pressing [F8> lets you override a busy extension’s conversation. At
another time, the same key, [F8>, could be labeled [Night 1]. Now, pressing [F8> places the
console in Night 1 operation.

Using Tone Signaling

31

Using Tone Signaling

You may have noticed that when you dial a number at the console, you do not hear any of the
tones or pulses normally associated with telephones. This is because the console
“communicates” with the rest of the telephone system using a different type of signaling.

However, there are times when telephone equipment, either in or outside your office, needs to
receive tones to complete a call. Typically, special services such as Voice mail systems
(described on page 33) require information in the form of tones before allowing access.

To enable tone signaling while connected to a service requiring tones:

1. Press [Tones On].

2. Dial the required code.

3. When you complete the call, press [Tones Off] to turn off tone signaling.

Flashing on Trunks

A trunk flash is a signal sent to another telephone system to do something such as place a call
on hold. You may need to use this feature when you have a call from another PABX in your
own company network, and you want to transfer it to the originating PABX or to a third one.

You can flash only when you are talking on a trunk to another trunk in a two-party call.

To flash on a trunk for further dialing:

1. Press [Single Flash] or [Double Flash].

2. Dial the required number.

3. Press Release.

Answering a Call with Night Service Enabled

When the console is in Night Service, incoming calls ring night bells or some other night
answering point. These calls can still be answered from the console even though they do not
ring the console bell.

The night answer point is programmed at the system level.

To answer a call when the console is in Night Service:

• Press [Night Ans].

Mitel 5540 IP Console - User Guide

32

Using Directed Call Pickup

Directed Call Pickup allows you to answer a call ringing at an extension. You can also use this
feature to retrieve a call that you transferred to the wrong extension.

To pick up a call ringing at an extension:

1. Dial the Directed Call Pickup code. (Your communications department can provide the
code.)

2. Dial the extension number of the ringing extension.

3. Speak to the calling party.

Last Call Retrieve

This feature allows you to recover a call you transferred to the wrong extension. The call must
still be ringing the original extension to be recovered.

To retrieve the last call transferred from the console:

• Press Cancel.

Multiple Console Operation

When more than one console is in use at the same time, they will operate in one of two ways:

1. Independent Operation

Consoles in this arrangement operate independently. Each console has unique hold slots
and incoming calls ring a specific console. A recall to the attendant returns only to the
console that initially handled the call.

2. Transparent Operation

With transparent operation, all consoles operate the same way. An incoming call rings all
consoles, though, recalls return to the individual console that handled the call.

The consoles are also given privileges to read or cancel messages left at an extension by
other extension users or the attendant. For more information about reading and canceling
messages, see page 47.

Inter-Console Calls and Transfers

An attendant can make and transfer calls to another attendant by dialing the console’s directory
number, but not by dialing 0 (zero). Whether you are transferring calls to an extension or another
attendant, the procedure is the same—see page 20 for instructions.

Note: Inter-console calls cannot be put on hold.

Centralized Attendant Service (CAS)

33

Centralized Attendant Service (CAS)

CAS allows an attendant at one PABX to answer calls that arrive at another interconnected
PABX. Except for recalls, CAS has no effect on the way you handle calls from the console.
When a call from another PABX in a CAS system recalls the console, it appears as a “Dial 0”
call. Keep this in mind when answering the recall as it may affect how you greet the caller.

Voice mail

A voice mail system connected to your telephone system does not affect the operation of the
console. If a call is answered by such a system, you may be prompted to enter an access code
or an identification number. Before responding to the prompt, you must turn on tone signaling
using the [Tones On] softkey. For more information, see “Using Tone Signaling” on page 31

personnel) to the location from which the call was placed.

When a 911 Call alarm is raised, the console rings and the display shows
“Emergency Call <Press Function Key for Details>”.

Note: Although the console alarm indicates the calling extension's location, the

Class of Service/Restriction

Each extension and trunk has a COS (Class of Service) and a COR (Class of Restriction) that
defines what the user of that extension or trunk can or cannot do. The system can have up to
96 of each, although most companies use only a few.

To help you answer questions from users who may be having problems with the system, you
may want to record a brief description of the most common COSs and CORs. For example,
COS 1 might mean, “Allows only local calls,” and COR 10 might be, “No long distance calls
after 6 PM.” Your communications department can give you the required details.
