Administrator/Attendant Console

A34-button deluxe voice terminal (Figure 3-2),which has a button with lights every outside line and voice terminal, is the ideal administrator/attendant console. The Line Buttons (above the dial pad) and the Auto Intercom Buttons (to the right of the dial pad) give you one-touch access to each line and voice terminal. The lights allow you to keep track of administration procedures as well as changes in the status of the voice terminals is and the outside lines.

You can perform most (but not all) administration procedures with a 10-button voice terminal (Figure 3-3).Specifically, you cannot do the following with a

10-button set:

●Change the makeup of paging groups

(See the "Group Page" entry in Section 5, "Reference," for details.)

●Assign allowed lists to restricted phones

(See the "Allowed Lists" entry in Section 5 for details.)

●Change the intercom number (and control unit jack) assignment for the Call Report data collecter and printer

(See the "Call Report" entry in Section 5 for details.)

You administer the system and, if you choose, program the other voice terminals in the system with the console in the administration mode (the Test/Program [T/P] switch on the left side of the console set to P [down]). You perform the everyday monitoring and call-handling tasks of the system attendant with the console in the normal mode (the T/P switch set to the center position).

The functions of some buttons on the administrator/attendant console change as you switch from one mode to the other. The double entries on some of the button labels shown in Figure 3-2and Figure 3-3indicate these changes in function. The button's function in the normal call-handling mode is shown above the line on the label, and its function in administration mode is shown below the line.
