Cisco CallManager Attendant Console

Cisco CallManager Attendant Console

Cisco CallManager Attendant Console is designed to automate the user and administrative operations of a manual attendant console. The Cisco CallManager Attendant Console uses a graphical user interface and a Cisco IP phone to perform attendant console functions such as call handling and line-state monitoring. The attendant console can handle calls for an entire company or a department within a company, or a user can manage calls for a single IP phone.

The Cisco CallManager Attendant Console is installed on a PC that has LAN connectivity to the Cisco CallManager system. The attendant console works with a Cisco IP phone that is registered to a Cisco CallManager system (one console for each phone that is used as an attendant console). Multiple consoles can connect to a single Cisco CallManager system to share the call load.

Cisco CallManager Attendant Console lets the user do the following tasks:

Answer, place, manage, or direct calls

Configure and use speed dial buttons which can be grouped in multiple tabs

Look up directory numbers, manage or route calls, and view line status for users and resources contained in the Cisco CallManager database

Cisco CallManager Attendant Console replaces Cisco WebAttendant and works with Cisco CallManager 3.1 or later.

Figure 6-6shows an overview of the Cisco CallManager Attendant Console user interface.
