Attendant Console User Guide – Issue 3.2, September 2009
Installing the Attendant Console Software
The Attendant Console software is supplied on CD-ROM. The instructions assume that a
Microsoft Windows-based operating system is installed on your PC and that you are familiar
with basic Windows navigation and using the mouse. Before installation, ensure that the
Windows operating system is running and that all Windows applications and any previous
versions of the Attendant Console are closed.
The software security key must be attached to the parallel port or USB port on your PC for you
to use the Attendant Console software. Without the key, the software will remain in
demonstration mode. The key does not affect the functionality of the parallel port. Any device
that connects to the parallel port can be connected through the software key.
1. Shut down Windows and turn off the power switch on your system’s PC.
2. Attach the appropriate end of the software key to the parallel port on the back of your
PC.
3. Restart the computer.
4. Insert the Attendant Console CD-ROM into the drive.
5. From the Windows Start menu, select Run.
6. Use the Browse button to locate the Attendant Console directory on the CD-ROM and
select
setup.exe. Then click OK. A license agreement dialog appears.
7. After reading the license agreement, click YES to begin the installation.
8. A Welcome screen appears, click Next to continue.
9. A dialog box appears that asks for the desired destination directory name. Enter
<
Drive>:\Program Files\Attendant Console, if it is not displayed, or the
directory where the Attendant Console files will be stored on the selected drive. Click
Next to continue (or Cancel to exit without performing the installation).
10. Follow the directions outlined by the installation wizard, clicking Next to advance to the
next screen. You can either chose to have the Console automatically configure the
settings or program the following information manually:
• IP Address: Enter the IP address of your System OAI Server.
• TCP Port: Enter the port number of the System OAI Server.
• OAI Password: Enter the password required by the System OAI Server.
• Extension: Enter your extension number.
• Enter Station Password: Enter the station password programmed for your station.
(At default, this is your extension number.)
• Toll Length: If the dialed number exceeds this length, the toll digits are dialed. The
default toll length is 10. For example, if the toll length is set to 10 and the toll digit is
set to 1, and the user dials a ten-digit number (6029619000), then the Attendant
Console automatically appends the toll digit(s) to the dialed number
(16029619000).
• Toll Digit(s): These are the digits required to make a toll call. In the U.S., this is
usually a “1.”
NOTE
You may use the same installation CD for more than one PC. However, each
PC must have its own software security key.
NOTE
During the installation, pressing ESC or Cancel exits the setup program
without completing the installation.
NOTE
Areas that use 10-digit dialing for local calls should leave the Toll Digit(s) field
blank.
