Getting started

Configuring Attendant Console

You must set up each computer that has Attendant Console installed to handle calls either as a full-time main attendant, part-time main attendant, or a backup, overflow or assistant attendant.

Every Client component must have the Server ID and Attendant extension options set for the Client component to function. The Server ID tells the Client component where the Server component is located. The Attendant extension tells the Client component which telephone belongs to the attendant.

To configure Attendant Console

1On the taskbar, click Start, point to Programs, point to Attendant Console and click Attendant.

The Client component starts. The first time the Client component starts after installation, the Enter Attendant Options dialog box appears.

2In the Attendant Extension box type the extension number of the attendant.

3If your network has more than one Attendant Console Server running, you must enter the Server ID for the Business Communications Manager 2.5 system you want to use in the Server ID box. The Server ID refers to the Windows TCP/IP host name of the Server computer. If you do not know the Server ID, ask your System Administrator.

4Click the OK button.

The Tip of the Day dialog box appears over the Attendant Console window.

5Click the Close button to see the Attendant Console window.

Refer to “Components of the Attendant Console window” on page 23.

When the setup is complete, the Directory list displays the extensions connected to the Business Communications Manager 2.5 system.

Starting Attendant Console

1On the Attendant computer, click Start and point to Programs, point to Nortel Networks, point to Attendant Console and then click Attendant.

The Attendant Console taskbar button appears on the taskbar. The Attendant Console window appears with the Tip of the Day window over it.

2On the Tip of the Day window click the Close button.
