Display (Figure 2-4)

The SLAC contains an alphanumeric call information display. This module is built into the top of the console. It contains a 16-character 5x7 dot matrix liquid crystal display, timer controls, and a thumbwheel Contrast adjustment. Timer functions are available only when the attendant presses the Local button. The Time/Timer Exit button allows the user to select

ordinary	clock/calendar	display	or	a timer.	In the Time mode, Set, Fwd, and Rev are used to
set the	clock. In Timer	mode,	Start	and Stop	are used to time events.

The primary purpose of the console display is to provide the attendant with descriptive information about incoming and outgoing calls. This information includes extension numbers and associated names, trunk identifiers, reasons for call return and redirection, and number of calls waiting in the queue for service. Refer to the “Attendant Display” feature description, for a detailed discussion of call information displays.

Considerations

An R1V2 system configuration can support either one or two SLACs or one or two DTACs, but not a combination of a SLAC and a DTAC.

The Switched Loop Console derives its name from the ability of the system to hold incoming attendant-bound calls in a queue and switch them on voice loops to an available console. Calls are directed to a console in a preadministered, prioritized sequence. The SLAC differs from the DTAC in the following basic respects:

●It receives calls one at a time, regardless of the number of incoming calls to the

system (at the DTAC, many incoming calls can be ringing simultaneously).

● It displays pertinent information about incoming and outgoing calls.

● It can serve as an attendant console, a message center, or a combination of both.

●It has speakerphone and Hands-Free Answer on Intercom (HFAI) capabilities.

The optional Direct Extension Selector Console can be connected to a SLAC to provide busy/idle status of inside stations and quick calling of their extension numbers. In a system with two consoles, either or both can have a Selector Console as an adjunct. The Selector Console is described in the “Attendant Direct Extension Selector Console” subsection.
