Feature description
The Meridian 1 Attendant Console Enhancements (MACE) feature expands
existing Meridian 1 Attendant Console functionality. This feature provides
the following enhancements:
• Attendant Console Autoline
• Individual Attendant Console Directory Number (IADN)
• Attendant Emergency Codes
Attendant Console Autoline
The Attendant Console Autoline functionality provides secure autodial
services for all types of Attendant Consoles. These services are programmed
on Flexible Feature keys on an attendant basis. When the Autoline key is
activated, the Meridian 1 system automatically dials a pre-programmed
Directory Number (DN). The DN that is stored for the Autoline key can be
from 1-31 digits in length and can be either internal or external to the
Meridian 1 system.
The Autoline key’s functionality is almost identical to that of the Autodial
key. However, with Autoline functionality, the DN cannot be programmed
from the console. Also, the display key function is simplified. With the
Autoline functionality, to display a DN programmed for the Autoline key, the
attendant presses the Autoline key when the console is idle or in Position
Busy. On an analog console, to display a DN that is longer than eight digits,
the attendant presses the Display Source key after pressing the Autoline key.
Figure 55 illustrates a Meridian 1 Attendant Console with four Autoline keys
configured on Key Strip 5. This key strip holds the Flexible Feature keys. On
Key 2, Autoline is configured to dial 911 for Emergency Calls; on Key 5,
Autoline is configured for Paging Access; on Key 6, Autoline is configured
to dial Fire Services; and on Key 9, Autoline is configured to dial Terry
Smith’s DN.
