Types of Consoles
The type of administrator/attendant console you have depends primarily on the
number of the voice terminals and lines in your system.
In systems with eight or fewer lines and 20 or fewer voice terminals (small systems),
the administrator/attendant console is a 34-button deluxe voice terminal. A 34-button
deluxe model is suitable as the administrator/attendant console for small systems
because it has enough buttons to show the status of each line and each voice ter-
minal in the system. The system assigns lines and intercom numbers to these but-
tons automatically. You can use the lights next to each button to keep track of what
is happening on the lines and at the voice terminals you are working with.
For systems with more than eight lines or more than 20 voice terminals (large
systems), two consoles are available:
The administrator/attendant console with Attendant Intercom Selector for large
systems is a 34-button deluxe voice terminal with an attached Attendant inter-
com Selector.
The administrator/attendant console with Attendant Intercom Selector is con-
venient for administering a large system because up to 70 voice terminals can
be represented using the Auto Intercom buttons on the Attendant Intercom
Selector. This leaves all 30 buttons on the console available to show the status
of each line in the system. On this console, all your lines and intercom numbers
are assigned to buttons automatically when the system is activated.
The economy administrator/attendant console for large systems is a 34-button
deluxe voice terminal without an Attendant Intercom Selector.
If you don’t need the extra capacity or convenience provided by the Attendant
Intercom Selector, you can use the economy administrator/attendant console
to administer a large system. On this console, all your lines are assigned to but-
tons automatically when the system is activated. Any buttons not used for lines
can be programmed as Auto Intercom buttons for use in the attendant mode,
but they are not used during administration. Because the economy
administrator/attendant console has no Auto Intercom buttons in the administra-
tion mode, you must specify a particular voice terminal by dialing its intercom
number.
Administrator/attendant consoles for small and large systems in administration mode
are illustrated on pages 12 and 13.
