Centralized Attendant Service (CAS) allows multi-switch systems at more than one location to consolidate console operators at one location. This location is “CAS main.” The other locations, typically without console operators, are CAS branches.

Managing calls in the CAS environment is primarily the same as in standard environments. However, some differences occur, because CAS environments use a dedicated outside line to manage branch calls. This section identifies the differences between standard operations and CAS operations and describes how to use features in a CAS environment.

The following features do not function in a CAS environment:

■Attendant Auto-Manual Splitting

■Attendant Conference
