Administrator/Attendant Console
A BIS-34 voice terminal or a BIS-34D voice terminal with display, both of
which have lights for every outside line and voice terminal button, are ideal
administrator/attendant consoles for MERLIN Plus systems with more than 10
voice terminals. Figure 3-2 shows a BIS-34D with display used as a console.
The line buttons above the dial pad and the Auto Intercom buttons to the
right of the dial pad give you one-touch access to each line and voice
terminal. The lights allow you to keep track of administration procedures as
well as changes in the status of the voice terminals and the outside lines
during normal call handling.
A BIS-22 voice terminal or a BIS-22D voice terminal is a good selection for an
administrator/attendant console if you have 10 voice terminals or less. When
using a BIS-22 voice terminal with more than 10 voice terminals on the
system, some features require that you enter the intercom numbers of the
voice terminals that do not have Auto Intercom buttons at the console. Also
the following features are administered using a dial code (see “The BIS-22
Voice Terminal as an Administrator Console” in this section) instead of an
intercom number:
Change the makeup of paging groups
(See
,the
‘Group Page” entry in Section 5, “Reference,

for details.)
Assign Disallowed List systemwide or to selected voice terminals
(See the “Disallowed Lists” entry in Section 5, “Reference,
’
for details.)
Assign Allowed Lists to restricted phones
(See the “Allowed Lists” entry in Section 5, “Reference,” for details.)
Lock voice terminals so that individuals cannot reprogram them.
(See the “Program Mode Lock” entry in Section 5, “Reference,
”
for
details.)
The position of the
TIP
switch on the left side of the administrator/attendant
console depends on the task you are performing. There are three positions
and four functions as follows:

The functions of some buttons on the administrator/attendant console change
as you
switch
from one mode to the other. The double entries on some of
the button labels shown in Figures 3-2 and 3-3 indicate these changes in
function. The button’s function in the normal call-handling mode is shown
above the line on the label, and its function in administration mode is shown
below the line.
