Instruction manual

Attendant Console, Direct Trunk
Position Busy
A POS BUSY button can be assigned to each console; this permits selection of one of two
modes of operation: (1) simultaneous operation or (2) only one Attendant Console active.
(Note that only one console is allowed to be inactive at any given time.) An associated POS
BUSY status LED is lighted when the console is inactive.
Ringing is disabled on all trunk
terminations on the rightmost two columns of buttons of the inactive console. Ringing
disabled on an inactive console will be enabled on the active console for those trunks with
dual appearances (appearances on both consoles).
All other features on all buttons,
including those on the associated Attendant Direct Extension Selector Console will continue
to function normally even though the console is inactive.
Considerations
Direct trunk operation means that trunks are terminated on individual buttons, called
Personal Line buttons, where outside calls are answered and originated. The console can
have several incoming calls ringing simultaneously.
Each console can also have an optional Attendant Direct Extension Selector Console to
enhance internal calling. The Selector Console is covered in the “Attendant Direct Extension
Selection” feature description.
For information on related Attendant Features (Table 2-E), refer to the individual feature
descriptions.
