INTRODUCTION Attendant Monitor Operations Manual
What is Attendant Monitor?
Overview Attendant Monitor is an ap pli cation that will accumulate attendant statistics when
attendant consoles ar e used in a stand alone environmen t. Attendant Monitor serves
as the event collector for the Attendant Console Statistics application, detecting
events generated by the attendants and the PBX, and sending messages to the
Attendant Console Stati st ic s Log ger component. The Logger parses the messages
and saves the statistic data in an In formix Data base. The da ta is then used to
generate attendant statistic reports.
Note: Attendant Monitor is not required if Attendant Console Statistics is used with the
Hospitality Center System (HCS) or the Medical Center System (MCS), since
these applications serve as event collectors.
The following diagram illustrates how Att end ant Mo nit or interfaces with the
Attendant Console Statistics application.

Attendant Monitor Operations Manual INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION
Chapter 2 INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION
This chapter provides a step-by-step description of the installation, initial
configuration, and Main Menu functions for Atten dant Monitor. Before proceedi ng
with the configuration, ensure that the SCO UNIX operating system and the
Applicati ons Manager (APM) plat form software are installed on the system.
The Applications Manager Operations Manual provides detailed instructions for
using the APM menus and for compl eting the data entry scree ns illustrated in this
manual. NEAX2400 IMS system manuals provide the procedures for making the
data assignments at the NEAX MAT.
Installation Procedure
This section describes the procedures to install the Attendant Monitor application
software. Follow the procedure below to install the software.
login: apmadm
password:
Note: Some keyboar ds use a marked Return key for the carriage return function. Other
keyboards mark this function key as Enter. The installation procedure will iden-
tify this function as Return (Enter). When the procedur e indica tes, use the ap pr opriate marked key on your particular keyboard.
To begin the Attendant Monitor
software installation, type apmadm at
the UNIX login prompt and press
Enter.
(If your “apmadm” account requires a
password, enter the “apmadm”
password at the subsequent password
prompt.)

Database Support
Attendant Monitor requires two APM databases: the Attendant Monitor database
and the Tenant Numbe r Data base. These d atabas es ar e cre ated wit h defa ult values
during initial software installation, but specific records must be added before
Attendant Monitor is enabled.
Attendant Monitor Database
The Attendant Monitor database (attmon) con sists of a Master Datab ase file
component and an Application Database file component.
Master Database File - filename ’attmon’.
The attmon master database structure and example entries are shown in the table
below.

Field Definitions
- The Monitor Number field specifies the monitor number the attendant will
dial to log on and log off the system.
- The Attendant Name field specifies the attendant name that will be used in
attendant reports.
- The TTY field spe cifies t he unique TTY devi ce used by the att endant. Since
stand alone attendants do not use an actual TTY device, the monitored
number value ma y be entered ag ain in this f ield to ensur e that the TTY v alue
is unique.
- The Supervisor Flag fields speci f ies if the atten dant is a supe rviso r. It may
be set to ‘Y’ or ‘y’ to indicate the attendant is a supervisor, or to ‘N’ or ‘n’
to indicate the attendant is not a supervisor.

Configuring the Attendant Monitor Database
The database is initi ally b lank. It must be configu red be fore t he Atten dant Monitor
application can operate. The database values are set using the APM Applications
Manager Main Menu-- Selecting the Application Configuration option. The
general sequence is the following:
1. Build a Master Database File
Enter data into the master database fields to add the necessary Monitored
Number, Attendant Name, T TY, and Supervisor Flag values for Attendant
Monitor.
2. Process the Application Database
Use the Process Application Databases option on the APM Database
Administration menu to create the application database file.
(When the Process o ption is act iv ated, data is drawn from th e master databas e
and converted to the formats specified in the application definition file.)
3. Install the Application Database
Use the Install Application Databases option on the APM Database
Administration menu to enable Attendant Monitor to copy its database.
Note: Refer to the APM Operations Manual for more detailed instructions on adding a
database.
AMNO: PBX assignment of Monitored Number
Each monitored number that is specified in the Attendant Monitor database must
be created on the PBX using the AMNO command.
Note: Refer to the NEAX2400 IMS system manuals for detailed pr o cedur es for making
the data assignments at the NEAX MAT.

Initialize Component
The Attendant Monitor component must be initialized from the APM. Follow the
steps below to initialize the AttendantMonitor component:
- On the APM System Operations Menu, select the Non-CRT Application
