ATTENDANT CONSOLE, DIRECT TRUNK

Description

In System 25, the Attendant Console is used to answer incoming trunk calls that are not directed to specific user stations, to answer calls from inside users, to extend calls to inside stations and outside numbers, and to assist system users in placing outgoing calls and setting up conferences. The attendant can also manage and monitor some areas of system operation. System 25 R1Vl supports only the Direct Trunk Attendant Console (DTAC). The R1V2 supports either the DTAC or the Switched Loop Attendant Console (SLAC), that is described in the next subsection of this manual.

The DTAC (Figure 2-1) is a 34-Button Deluxe Voice Terminal administered with special features, buttons, and capabilities to serve as an attendant position. In addition to the attendant features, all standard multiline terminal features are also available. (Refer to the Hardware Description section of this manual for a complete identification of the external controls, indicators, and components of the basic voice terminal. )
