Managing your attendant consoles
This section provides an overview to the DEFINITY attendant consoles. It also
explains how to add new consoles, remove consoles, and how to set your
system-wide console parameters.

Overview

The attendant console is the main answering position for your organization. The
console operator is responsible for answering incoming calls and for efficiently
directing or “extending” calls to the appropriate phone.
The attendant console also can allow your attendants to monitor:
■system problems
■toll fraud abuse
■traffic patterns
The number of consoles you can have in your organization varies depending on
your DEFINITY system. For more information about your specific system
capacity, refer to DEFINITY ECS System Description.
