Administering Your System at the

Administrator/Attendant Console

Once your control unit is properly set to the operating conditions of your system, you can use the administrator/attendant console for line administration. That is, you can specify Touch-Tone or rotary signaling for each line, create a line pool, assign individual lines or remove them from your voice terminals, and specify the lines you want to activate extra-alerting night service devices. In addition to line administration, call restrictions for each voice terminal in your business are assigned from the administrator/attendant console.

In most cases, the lines and voice terminals that you are administering must be free while you perform these operations, so choose a time when people are not using their voice terminals. Once you begin using the administrator/attendant console for the line administration described in this section, the system blocks incoming and outgo- ing calls on the lines or voice terminals with which you are working. Blocked voice terminals generate soft, periodic beeps to alert the people in your business that they cannot use their voice terminals.

To carry out these instructions for administering your lines, you need the System Con- figuration and Telephone Configuration Forms as well as the special administration mode button labels for the administrator/attendant console. (See the Appendix for these forms and labels.)

Before you can administer lines from the administrator/attendant console, it must be in administration mode. The boxed instructions below tell you how to put the console into administration mode.

Setting the Administrator/Attendant Console to Administration Mode

1.Go to the control unit and set switch A on the Processor Module to Administer (down).

2.Go to the administrator/attendant console and slip the set of administration mode button labels into it (see the Appendix).

3.Set the T/P switch on the left side of the administrator/attendant console to the P position by sliding it towards you.

●Red and green lights flash beside the buttons labeled Adm Pool, Adm Tel, Tone/Pulse, and Night Service. These buttons indicate the various types of system administration that you can do.

Once you set the administrator/attendant console to administration mode, you can use it to perform any of the system administration procedures described in the following sections. Each of these sections begins by instructing you to touch one of the ad- ministration buttons (Adm Pool, Adm Tel, Tone/Pulse, Night Service). When you do so, the green light beside the button should stop flashing and remain steadily lit, and, in the case of Adm Pool and Adm Tel, you should hear a two-beep signal alert- ing you to begin. If the light flashes rapidly instead, your system is in use and you cannot begin. When this happens, the system continues to check the lines and voice terminals and alerts you when they are free by making the green light steady and giving the two-beep signal for the buttons that have it. If you do not want to wait, you can always return to normal operating mode by sliding the T/P switch to the center position.
