CONSIDERATIONS
HOW TO USE
Line Shift Buttons
In menu-driven administration, lines are represented by buttons in the four
leftmost columns on the console. As Figure 2-13 shows, there are two pages
of 30 lines each, to accommodate the maximum number of lines (56).
In systems with more than 30 lines, a button can represent more than one
line. For example, the third button from the top in the leftmost column
would represent default lines 801 and 831. When you touch Line Shift 1, the
line buttons represent default lines 801 through 830; when you touch Line
Shift 2, they represent lines 831 through 856.
Station Shift Buttons
In menu-driven administration, stations are represented by the buttons in the
four rightmost columns on the console.
Some analog voice terminals may
require two station jacks for the Voice Announcement to Busy Voice Terminal
or Simultaneous Voice and Data feature and therefore have two intercom
numbers associated with them. This means there can be up to 88 station
jacks and intercom numbers, although no more than 72 responding stations.
There are three pages of stations, to accommodate the maximum number of
intercom numbers. In systems using more than 40 station jacks, a button can
represent more than one station. For example, the top button in the fifth
column from the left can represent station jacks 1, 41, and 81. When you
touch Station Shift 1, the station buttons represent the first 40 station jacks
(default intercom numbers 10 through 49). When you touch Station Shift 2,
the buttons represent the next 40 station jacks (default intercom numbers 50
through 69 and 700 through 719. ) When you touch Station Shift 3, the
buttons represent the remaining station jacks (default intercom numbers 720
through 727).
