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.
