Attendant Configuration

On the System Configuration Form, if the answer to #9 is 1 or 0, don’t check any of the attendant configuration boxes. If the answer to #9 is 2, check the box next to “11” for attendant configuration. If the answer to #9 is 3, check the boxes beside “11” and “12.” If the answer to #9 is 4, check the boxes beside “11,”12,” and “13.” If the answer to #9 is 5, check the boxes beside “11,” ‘12,” “13,” and “14.” The system supports a maximum of five attendant positions.

E.

Listing Telephone Numbers

In the column labeled “Telephone Number” on the System Configura- tion Form, list the telephone numbers for your outside lines. Start at the top of the column and work down without skipping any spaces. The order in which you list lines determines the order in which lines appear initially on attendant consoles and on all voice terminals in systems with square line representation. Group lines of the same type together (for example, group WATS lines together, FX lines together, etc.).

F.

Special Lines

Indicate which lines are special-purpose lines (for example, WATS, Foreign Exchange, personal lines, outward calls only, incoming calls only).

NOTE: If you checked “Square” for line representation, skip to question #10.

G.

Assigning Lines to Pools

Now consider any groups of lines that can be used interchangeably for placing calls (for example, all regular local lines or all in-state WATS lines). Assign the access code 9 to the pool that contains your group of local lines—write “9” for “Pool Number” on the System Configuration Form. Assign a pool number (890 through 899) to each of the other groups of lines. Note that each pool can have as many or as few lines as you like but that each line can be in only one pool. (For a more detailed explana- tion, see page 31.)

10.Is it necessary to dial 0 or 1 to place long distance calls on any of your lines?

H.

Yes

No

Toll Environment

For each line that does not require dialing 0 or 1 before placing long distance calls, check “Area Code Only” on the System Configuration Form.
