Attendant consoles
Contents
This section contains information on the following topics:
Attendant consoles are designed to assist in placing and extending calls into
and out of a telephone switching system. The console is operated by an
attendant who is the human interface between the system and the users.
The M2250 attendant console is a stand-alone, digital attendant console
designed for telephone traffic control in the CS 1000 and Meridian 1. A
Digital Line Card (DLC) connects the M2250 to the system.
The PC-based Console application software allows all functions supported by
the M2250 to be performed on a computer workstation within a Windows
95®, Windows 98®, Windows 2000®, or Windows NT® operating system
environment. The PC-based Console application operates with the PC
Console Interface Unit (PCCIU). The PCCIU is typically installed under the
attendant’s PC monitor, and provides connection to the Main Distribution
Frame (MDF) and PC communications port. The PCCIU is configured as an
M2250 attendant console in LD 12. Refer to Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for configuration information
In the North America, Asia Pacific and CALA market regions, the PCCIU
and the Attendant PC software are available as a bundled package. In the
EMEA market region, the PCCIU is available on its own or with a separate
PC software application called SMILE.

Connections
The line cord connects to the rear of the M2250 attendant console through a
25-pin subminiature D-type connector. The jack connector is attached to the
line cord for user safety and equipment protection (pins are not exposed).
Having the plug connector mounted in the console also prevents interchanges
between the line cord and the serial data port connectors (the serial data port
in the console has a jack connector).
Identical two-prong G3 type connectors are provided on each side of the
console body to permit handset or headset connection at either side of the
console. The M2250 attendant console is compatible with both carbon and
electret handsets or headsets. The electret handset plug is
orientation-dependent and is labeled accordingly.
The attendant console is connected to the system through two digital ports –
one port for Call Service processing and one for Call Destination
processing – with three additional ports for powering, for a total of five ports.
The PCCIU interface used for the PC-based Console software application
requires only three ports in total.
The attendant console requires a Digital Line Card (DLC) or an Integrated
Services Digital Line Card (ISDLC) NT8D02 or later.
Local console controls
Visual contrast on the display panel can be adjusted using the Contrast option
on the Options menu.
From the Options menu, four-line mode can be changed to two-line mode for
easier viewing and to use larger fonts.
The pitch and volume of the buzz tone on the console can be adjusted by
the user.
Any one of 15 languages can be chosen for the console screen displays:
English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Norwegian, Irish (Gaeilge),
553-3001-367Standard 3.00August 2005

Turkish, Katakana, P.R.C. (People’s Republic of China), Taiwan, Korean,
Polish, Czech/Slovak, or Hungarian.
When the languages P.R.C., Taiwanese, and Korean are chosen, the attendant
console uses two-line display.
The attendant console is equipped with a real-time clock/calendar. The time
of day (hours, minutes, and seconds) and the date (day, month, and year) are
displayed on line 1 of the display screen.
The sound of key clicks can be turned on or off. The pitch and volume of key
clicks can be adjusted.
The M2250 attendant console requires a 16-pair cable terminated on an
Amphenol connector.
When zone cabling and conduit are used, assign a block of numbers or letters
to each zone. Allow for growth when assigning blocks of numbers.
Cable markers are normally an adhesive-backed cloth tape 1/2 inches wide by
3-1/2 inches long (15 mm by 65 mm) with preprinted numbers.
For limits and cabling for analog (500/2500-type) telephones, refer to

The following notes refer to Figure 17 on page 71, which illustrates the
M2250 attendant console cross-connections.
Note 1: The M2250 is powered by means of the line circuits. In addition
to the primary TN, secondary TN, and ASM TN, two TNs are cabled to
the M2250 using the +AUX and –AUX leads. The maximum loop length
is 3000 ft of 24 AWG wire.
Note 2: When additional options are used (BLF or display backlight
option), an additional 16 V DC power supply is required. The 16 V DC
source is cabled using +VPS and VPS RTN leads. The maximum
distance from the console to the power source is 120 feet of 24 AWG
wire. Please note: if both options are installed, only one 16 V DC power
supply is required.
Note 3: Nortel recommends that five consecutive TNs on the line circuit
be allocated for each console.
Note 4: When used with the ISDLC, the M2250 requires NT8D02 or
later.
Note 5: The third TN must be cross-connected to the console cable
WH/SL pair whether or not an ASM (Attendant Supervisory Module) is
installed. This third TN provides additional console power which is
required.
Table 8 on page 73 explains where each M2250 cable pair is connected.
Table 9 on page 75 lists the M2250 typical cross-connections.

Operation
M2250 configurations
Attendant consoles Page 77 of 504
This section contains operating procedures for the M2250 attendant console.
The attendant console faceplate layout is shown in Figures 14 through 16,
starting on page 66. Refer to these figures as the basis for component location
references throughout this section.
The M2250 attendant console can be configured to operate with the QMT2
feature, which is provided by a QMT2 add-on module incorporated in the
console. Instead of having to add a keystrip unit, the technician can set a dip
switch on the keyboard/controller Printed Circuit Panel (PCP) to ON (enable
QMT2) or OFF (disable QMT2). It is important that the system software
configuration and the QMT2 dip switch be set correctly.
For more information, refer to the section on LD15 in the following
documents:
When the QMT2 feature is disabled, the following conditions apply:
•If the console is not in Shift mode, keystrip AK is inactive.
•If the console is in Shift mode, the keys in strip AK function as Trunk
Group Busy (TGB) keys, if configured in the system software.
•If the operator presses any of these keys, the associated trunk group is
busied out.
•The triangle points aimed to the left of keystrip AK are never active.
•If the operator presses any key outside keystrip AK when the console is
in Shift mode, the console performs the function associated with that key.
The Shift indicator remains on.
•The keys in keystrip BK function as Incoming Call Identification
(ICI) keys.
Telephones and ConsolesDescription, Installation, and Operation
Page 78 of 504 Attendant consoles
QMT2 feature enabled
When the QMT2 feature is enabled, the following conditions apply:
•If the console is not in Shift mode, the keys in strip AK and/or BK
function as Incoming Call Identification (ICI) keys.
•If the console is in Shift mode, the keys in keystrips AK and BK function
as Trunk Group Busy (TGB) keys. That is, they imitate the keystrips of
the QMT2 add-on module as follows:
— The LCD indicators pointing to the left indicate busy trunks.
— The LCD indicators pointing to the right indicate incoming calls.

M2250 feature operation
Attendant consoles Page 89 of 504
Time and date
On the M2250, the time and date are automatically downloaded from the
system on power-up or console reset. The time and date are downloaded by
the switch whenever it runs a lamp audit. Only the visual format can be
changed.
Trunk Group Busy indicators
Trunk Group Busy (TGB) indicators show the status of each group of trunks.
If a TGB indicator is on steadily, the attendant has busied out all trunks in that
group by pressing the Shift key plus the TGB key. If a TGB indicator is
flashing, all the trunks in that group are actually busy.
In Supervisory mode, TGB indicators show the status of other consoles in the
customer group. If the indicator is off, the attendant position is in a Position
Telephones and ConsolesDescription, Installation, and Operation
Page 90 of 504 Attendant consoles
Busy mode. When an indicator associated with a particular attendant is on,
the attendant is available to service calls.
Note: The M2250 attendant console must be equipped with the
Attendant Supervisory Module (NT7G10AA) to allow attendant
supervision.
Incoming Call Indicators
Incoming Call Indicators (ICI) display the various types of incoming calls
presented to the attendant console. They also indicate the number of calls and
the length of time calls have been queued.
•If the indicator is on, one call has been queued for less than a certain
length of time (as defined by software).
•If the indicator is flashing, one call has been queued for more than the
defined length of time, or there is more than one call in the queue.
Night service/busy
When the Shift key is off, press the Busy key to put the attendant console into
Position Busy mode. When the Shift key is on, press the Busy key to put the
console into Night Service mode. To return to normal operating mode, press
the Busy key again.
In a multi-console system, activating Night Service mode will busy out all
attendant consoles in the system.
Enhanced Night Service
This feature allows Public Network (Central Office [CO], Direct Inward Dial
[DID], Foreign Exchange [FEX], and Wide Area Telephone service [WAT])
trunks to be assigned to specific Directory Numbers (DN) during Night
Service.
With this feature each customer will be able to assign Public Network trunks
to one of nine Night Groups. Each Night Group will allow the customer to
define up to nine Night DNs. During Night Service incoming calls will be
routed to one of the Night DNs defined for the group. The actual DN the call
will be routed to is determined by the Night Service Option number selected
at that time.
553-3001-367Standard 3.00August 2005
Attendant consoles Page 91 of 504
The customer will also be able to define whether Night Call Waiting tone will
be given to Night stations. With Night Call Waiting tone allowed, busy Night
stations are notified when an incoming call is terminating on them. The
incoming call will be queued on the Night station until it becomes idle. When
the Night station becomes idle, the incoming call will be presented.
This enhancement allows incoming DID trunks to be queued against busy
Night stations, thereby making the operation of the DID trunks the same as
for all other Public Network trunks.
Attendant Blocking of DN
The Attendant Blocking of DN (ABDN) feature enables the attendant to
block a DN for a telephone from receiving or making calls. This is
particularly useful when a caller dials the attendant DN and requests an
external (long distance) call. If the caller chooses to disconnect until the
attendant successfully places the call, the requesting DN becomes idle and
can receive or make calls. Therefore, the requesting DN could be busy when
the attendant establishes the requested call.
To prevent the requesting DN from being busy when the requested call is
completed, the attendant can block the DN from making or receiving calls. To
callers attempting to contact the blocked DN, the line appears busy. To a
caller attempting to use the blocked DN, the line is connected to the attendant.
When the attendant completes the external call, the attendant can call the
blocked DN and extend the call. This feature applies to both stand-alone and
ISDN network environments.
The Attendant Blocking of DN feature is available on the M2250 attendant
consoles. It is not valid on M2616 telephones used as attendant consoles.
Attendant and Network Wide Remote Call Forward
This modification to the Remote Call Forward feature (RCFW) allows a user
to program a call forward Directory Number from any attendant console or
station throughout the network. An RFW key on the attendant console allows
an attendant to view any station’s call forward status and to activate or
deactivate call forward for a station.
Telephones and ConsolesDescription, Installation, and Operation

Refer to ISDN Primary Rate Interface: Features (553-3001-369) for further
details.
Network Attendant Services
This feature allows attendant services to be distributed anywhere within a
Meridian ISDN network. If, at the time of an attendant request, attendant
services are not available at a station’s local node, connection to an attendant
at a remote node takes place. Call treatment is the same as for a connection to
a local attendant node.
Call processing
The attendant answers an incoming call by pressing the flashing loop key.
To answer a specific type of incoming call, press the ICI key next to the
appropriate ICI indicator. This removes the call from the queue and presents
it to the attendant.
ICI key assignments
An ICI key may be assigned more than one call type. Refer to Software Input/
Output: Administration (553-3001-311). If the Attendant Call Party Name
Display (ACPND) feature is equipped, all incoming calls are displayed by
calling party name or external call source. The following examples list
possible ICI key assignments:
•Attendant Intercept indicates that a call is being made by a station to a
facility to which that station is restricted, and the call has been routed to
the attendant console.
•Listed Directory Numbers (maximum four) indicates that a call is
being made to an attendant console associated with one of the listed
directory numbers.
•Dial 0 indicates that a station that is not fully restricted has dialed 0.
•Fully Restricted Station indicates that a fully restricted station has
dialed 0.
•Foreign Exchange indicates that the incoming call is from a foreign
exchange.
553-3001-367Standard 3.00August 2005
Attendant consoles Page 93 of 504
•Wide Area Telephone Service indicates that the incoming call
originated at a wide area telephone exchange.
•Recall
indicates that a camped-on call or a call extended to an idle station
has not been answered for 30 seconds or that a station is recalling the
attendant.
•Call Forward indicates that the call is being forwarded to the console
from a station within the system.
•Tie Trunk indicates that the incoming call is on a tie trunk.
Operating keys
The operating key/lamp strips CI/CK, DI, EI, and FI/FK allow the attendant
to process calls from the console.
Key/lamp strips CI/CK and FI/FK have permanently assigned functions as
given in the following list.
•Release
allows the attendant to release a call presented to the console.
When the LCD associated with the RLS key is lit, it indicates that no
incoming calls are being presented to the console.
•Loop Keys/Lamps allow the attendant to answer and originate calls
from the console. The first call in the incoming queue is automatically
presented to an idle loop key. Subsequent calls are queued and presented
to a loop key when a loop becomes idle. Call selection is made by
pressing the required ICI key. This action causes the call, which was
automatically presented to the loop key by the system, to be replaced by
the selected incoming call. In all cases, when the loop key is pressed, all
ICIs go dark except the one associated with the call presented to the
loop key.
•Position Busy enables the attendant to put the console in Position Busy
mode. All calls directed to a console in Position Busy mode are
redirected to a free console in multiconsole installations or to the night
connection in single console installations. When a console is in Position
Busy mode, “BUSY” is shown on line 4 of the display.
Telephones and ConsolesDescription, Installation, and Operation
Page 94 of 504 Attendant consoles
•Night Service permits incoming calls to the attendant to be routed to a
preselected station. The Night Service key enables the attendant to assign
the Night Directory Number (DN) and to initiate Night Service. When
assigning the Night Service DN, “NIGHT” flashes on line 4 of the
display. When Night Service is on, “NIGHT” appears without flashing
on the display.
•In a multiconsole system, activating Night Service will busy out all
attendant consoles in the system.
•Hold allows the attendant to hold an active call at the console while
serving other calls.
•Conference permits the attendant to set up a conference of up to five
conferees plus the attendant.
•Release Destination
allows the attendant to release the called party from
a call held at the console while holding the calling party.
•Release Source allows the attendant to release the calling party from a
call held at the console while holding the called party.
•Signal Source and Destination allows the operator to recall either party
to a call held on the console.
•Exclude Destination excludes the called party from an established call
held at the console, allowing the attendant to speak privately with the
calling party.
•Exclude Source excludes the calling party from an established call
held at the console, allowing the attendant to speak privately with the
called party.
Feature keys
Any of the keys on keystrip FK can be assigned any of the optional features
in the list that follows except the Barge-In and Busy Verify features. These
require five LCD indicator states (off, on, and flash at 30, 60, or 120 impulses
per minute). If Barge-In or Busy Verify is required, it must be assigned to
keys FK-0 and FK-1.
553-3001-367Standard 3.00August 2005
Attendant consoles Page 95 of 504
All other features may be assigned to any of the keys on strip FK. Refer to
Software Input/Output: Administration (553-3001-311) for additional
information. The following are some of the more common feature keys:
•Attendant End to End Signaling enables the attendant to send dual tone
multifrequency (DTMF) signals to either the source or destination party.
•Busy Verify allows the attendant to confirm that a station returning a
busy signal is actually being used.
•Barge-In allows the attendant to enter an established trunk connection
for the purpose of talking to one or both parties.
•Paging allows access to a public address facility.
•Speed Call allows numbers to be dialed automatically by pressing the
SPEED CALL key and dialing a 1- or 2-digit code.
Call Waiting indicator
The Call Waiting indicator indicates that there is a queue of calls to be
answered. When one or more calls are waiting, “CW” appears on line 4 of the
display. The CW display changes from steady to flashing when waiting calls
exceed a certain number or when a call has been waiting longer than a
specified time.
The maximum number of waiting calls and the maximum hold time for each
waiting call to be answered can be set with a data administration task. Refer
to Features and Services (553-3001-306) for more information.
An optional buzz is available to indicate when the first call enters the queue.
The number of waiting calls can be viewed on the LCD screen by pressing a
key assigned on the attendant console. On the M2250, the number of waiting
calls can be displayed continuously on line 4 of the display, if defined in
LD15 and selected from the Options menu.
Alarm indicators
Alarms appear on line 4 of the display. “MN” indicates a minor alarm
condition; “MJ” indicates a major alarm. A minor alarm is an indication of a
minor system failure affecting a limited number of lines or trunks. A major
alarm indicates that Emergency Transfer may have been initiated. See
“Emergency Transfer” on page 96.
Telephones and ConsolesDescription, Installation, and Operation
Page 96 of 504 Attendant consoles
Emergency Transfer
If a major equipment or power failure halts local call processing, preselected
CO trunks are automatically connected to preselected stations (predetermined
and hard-wired at installation time) through relays in the system. Emergency
Transfer can also be activated manually by a switch underneath the attendant
console.
If the switch is activated while the console has power, the word
“EMERGENCY” appears on line 4 of the display.
Attendant Administration
Attendant Administration is an optional feature that allows the attendant to
modify some of the features assigned to selected telephone sets within the
attendant’s customer group. The attendant can enter a special program mode
with an assigned key.
Once in the program mode, the console key/lamp strips have different
functions from those during normal call processing. A plastic overlay can be
placed over the console keyboard to identify the altered key functions. Refer
to Features and Services (553-3001-306) for Attendant Administration
description and operating procedures.
Collect Call Blocking
The Collect Call Blocking feature enables a system administrator to block
long distance collect call service calls on incoming Direct Inward Dialing
(DID) and Public Exchange/Central Office trunks (analog or DT12).
Under the following conditions, the system sends a special answer signal to
the Central Office to indicate that collect calls cannot be accepted:
•The Collect Call Blocking (CCB) package 290 is enabled.
•The incoming route has CCB enabled via the CCB prompt in the Route
Data Block.
•The call is answered by a CCB user (that is, Collect Call Blocking
Allowed Class of Service or option).
553-3001-367Standard 3.00August 2005
Attendant consoles Page 97 of 504
Classes of service and prompts are provided which enable administrators to
inhibit specific users from receiving collect DID and Central Office calls.
These can be configured for the following:
•PBX and BCS through the Collect Call Blocking Allowed/Denied
(CCBA/CCBD) option
•Attendant and Network Alternate Route Selection calls on a per customer
basis through CCBA/CCBD option
•Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) queues through the CCBA prompt
•Direct Inward System Access (DISA) through the CCBA prompt
•Tandem calls dialed with Coordinated Dialing Plan (CDP) (Trunk
Steering Code, Distant Steering Code) through the CCBA prompt
•Tandem non-CDP calls through the CCBA prompt in the Route Data
Block from the outgoing trunk route
When a call is answered by a CCB user, the system sends the CCB answer
signal in place of the regular signal for incoming DID/CO calls from the
routes with CCB enabled. If the call is a collect call, The CO will disconnect
the call.
Alarm Management
The Integrated Alarm Management feature is a series of subfeatures which
improve the handling of key alarm messages generated by the system and its
Application Processors.
It also clarifies existing alarm messages and makes attendant console alarm
lamp signals more meaningful. The system has three levels of alarm: critical,
major, and minor. The attendant console alarm lamp will light when critical
alarms occur.
Digital Trunk Interface – CIS
The CIS DTI trunk feature provides connectivity between the system and
digital trunks used in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
The CIS 2 Mbps DTI feature enables the system to connect digital DID/COT
trunks to a CIS Local Central Office and to a CIS Toll Exchange (through
Local CO and Public Network, or directly for incoming toll call connections).
Telephones and ConsolesDescription, Installation, and Operation
Page 98 of 504 Attendant consoles
This link supports DID/COT trunking types, and requires that the system be
equipped with at least one CDTI2/CSDTI2 digital trunks pack, as well as
associated software.
DPNSS Executive Intrusion
Executive Intrusion (EI) allows an originating party to break into an
established call between two other parties (the wanted and the unwanted
parties) under certain circumstances. If intrusion succeeds, a conference takes
place on the wanted node between the originating, wanted and unwanted
parties.
EI succeeds in breaking into the call based on comparisons between the
Intrusion Capability Level (ICL) of the originating party and the Intrusion
Protection levels (IPL) of the wanted and unwanted parties.
The system provides Executive Intrusion from attendant consoles. Executive
Intrusion from Telephone Sets is not supported. However, a Meridian 1,
CS 1000M, or CS 1000S PBX will accept an EI activation request from an
ordinary set on a third party PBX.
Attendant Monitor
Attendant Monitor is a customer-defined option which allows the attendant to
monitor – in listen only mode – any established call involving a set or trunk
on the customer with or without the connected parties being aware that
monitoring is taking place (depending on the configuration of the customer
tone option).
The differences between the existing Busy Verify and Barge-in features and
the Attendant Monitor feature are the following:
•Attendant Monitor provides a listen only path for the attendant.
•There is no click sound given to the connected parties upon Attendant
connection when the no tone option is configured.
•The tone to the connected parties may or may not be given depending on
the customer tone options for Attendant Monitor.
•The display (if there is one) on any of the parties involved in the calls
does not indicate that the Attendant is monitoring.
553-3001-367Standard 3.00August 2005
Attendant consoles Page 99 of 504
Busy Verify and Barge-in Enhancement
Attendant Monitor changes the operation of Busy Verify and Barge-in
slightly. Tone is now configurable. Busy Verify and Barge-in restrictions
relating to the Warning Tone Allowed/Denied Class of Service apply to
Attendant Monitor as well.
Attendant Forward No Answer
Attendant Forward No Answer allows two enhancements to existing
operations. The first enhancement permits calls presented to the attendant to
forward to a second attendant or the night DN when a customer-defined time
expires. The second enhancement allows DID or CO calls to any set during
night service to disconnect if not answered within a predefined number of
ring cycles.
Attendant Forward No Answer is selectable on a customer basis, and is
included in the package 134, AFNA.
Semi-Automatic Camp-On
Semi-Automatic Camp-On is an option to the current camp-on operation.
When the party to which a call is camped-on becomes free, the attendant is
recalled first instead of the wanted party being rung immediately. The
modification is implemented under the Semi-Automatic Camp-on (SACP)
package.
When an external call is camped on to a busy DN by an attendant or a set, the
called party receives a buzz (for digital sets) or a burst of tone (for analog
[500/2500-type] sets), indicating camp-on. Without SACP, if the called party
becomes idle within a customer-defined time, the camped-on call rings the
station immediately.
With SACP, if the called party becomes idle, the camped-on call recalls the
attendant instead of ringing the called party. The called party meanwhile is
kept busy from receiving any calls (but is still able to originate calls).
A programmable key, the Semi-Automatic Camp-on Recall (SACP) key is
included with the SACP feature.When a recall is presented to the console, the
RECALL ICI lamp and the SACP lamp light up. After answering the recall
from the calling party, the attendant can ring the called party by pressing the
Telephones and ConsolesDescription, Installation, and Operation
Page 100 of 504 Attendant consoles
SACP key. The attendant can then hold the call on the console, or release the
call as usual.
When the attendant tries to present the call (after it has recalled to the
attendant) to the wanted party, this party may have originated another call. In
that case, the attendant receives the indication that the set is busy, and can
then camp-on the call again or release it, as usual. On a second camp-on, the
attendant must activate the SACP feature again, if needed.
The SACP feature is active either for all camped-on calls or on a per-call basis
depending on the customer option. When the per-call basis is chosen, the
attendant activates the feature by pressing the SACP key before camping-on
the call. If the SACP key is pressed twice, the associated lamp goes dark, and
the SACP feature becomes inactive for the call.
Series Call
The Series Call feature causes a source call (either an attendant-answered
incoming call, or an attendant-originated trunk call), that has been extended
to an internal destination party, to be recalled to the attendant when the
destination party hangs up. The attendant can then send the source call to
another destination party. This feature enables a caller to talk to more than
one party without having to disconnect and call again. Recall to Same
Attendant must be allowed, otherwise the recall is routed to the first available
attendant. This process can be repeated for as many destinations as requested
by the caller.
A Series Call is canceled if one of the following occurs:
•the attendant presses the SECL key while the associated lamp is lit
•the attendant extends the source to a trunk while the SECL lamp is lit
•the attendant enters Night Service after extending the call and prior to
receiving the recall
•the destination is call forwarded to a trunk
•the source disconnects
