Attendant Backup

The Attendant Backup feature allows you to access most attendant console fea-
tures from one or more specially-administered backup tel ephones. This allows
you to answer calls more promptly, thus providing better serv ice to your guests
and prospective clients.
When the attendant console is busy, you can answer over flow calls from the
backup telephones by pressing a button or dialing a feature access code. You
can then process the calls as if you are at the attendant console. The
recommended backup telephones are the Lucent Technologies Models 8 434,
8410, 6408D+, 6416D+, and 6424D+.
