Attendant Operation

Once another 954 phone has enabled its delayed ring, the attendant phone will receive those calls. All the 954 features work in the same manner as described in the beginning of this manual.

The attendant phone can pick up other Centrex lines through Centrex switching. The attendant can store the Centrex pickup codes and the seven- digit phone number of each station, except for the attendant phone, into memory locations.

Setting Ring Delay Duration

This feature allows other 954 telephones’ calls to ring at the attendant phone. After a specified ring delay, the calls will ring at the attendant phone. For a 10-second delay before the calls ring at the attendant phone, enter 10.
