Attendant Console, Direct Trunk
Description
In System 25, the Attendant Console is used to answer incoming trunk calls that are not directed to
specific user stations, to answer calls from inside users, to extend calls to inside stations and
outside numbers, and to assist system users in placing outgoing calls and setting up conferences.
The attendant can also manage and monitor some areas of system operation. System 25 supports
either the Direct Trunk Attendant Console (DTAC) or the Switched Loop Attendant Console (SLAC),
which is covered in the next feature description in this manual. Consoles of both types cannot be
installed in the same system.
The DTAC (Figure 2-1) can be one of the Merlin Communications System multiline voice terminals
listed below, administered with special features, buttons, and capabilities to serve as an attendant
position.
● 7305H02D (34 programmable feature buttons, each with I-use and status LEDs)
● 7305H03B (34 programmable feature buttons; built-in speakerphone)
● 7316H01A (34 programmable feature buttons, each with I-use and status LEDs; built-in
speakerphone)
In addition to the attendant features, most standard multiline terminal features are also available.
(Refer to Section 4, “Hardware Description,” for a complete identification of the external controls,
indicators, and components of the DTAC voice terminal.)
