About the Console
Corded Handset and Headset Ports
There are two jacks on the left side. One is for the handset or headset that you use; the other
is for the handset or headset used by the person training or monitoring new attendants.
Console Rear Ports
The cabling required to connect the console to the telephone system is located at the rear of
the console. The cables should be connected by a qualified system installer and should not be
adjusted by unauthorized personnel. The Cordless Headset port is the last port on the right
side. For more information on cordless headset operation, see “Using a Cordless Headset with

Console Keys
The console has three types of keys: Dialpad keys, Softkeys and Fixed Keys.
Dialpad keys
The dialpad on the right side of the console has 20 keys, including the standard 12 dialing keys.
Ringer Volume keys: The Volume ∧ and Volume ∨ keys increase or decrease the loudness
of the console ringer and handset volume.
ContrastControl keys: TheContrast∧ and Contrast∨keys increase ordecrease thedisplay
contrast and brightness.
Cursor Control keys: The
,
,
and
keys are used in the following
circumstances:
(Backspace): Press this key to correct mistakes when dialing extension or trunk numbers
or when entering Function key information.
Note: If you enter an invalid extension, for example a Console or Hunt Group extension,
you will hear a re-order tone. This indicates the entry is invalid. You can use the [EXIT]
softkey to back out because the Backspace cursor key will not work. It only works for
invalid station/set numbers.
Fixed Keys
The Fixed keys are arranged in two rows of seven keys. You use them to perform basic
operations such as answering calls and placing calls on hold.

About the Console
Each key in the bottom row has a lamp that indicates the status of a call or feature. For example,
when you use a Hold key to place a call on hold, the lamp above the key lights.

Block
restrict selected extensions/guest rooms from calling
each other.
Hold
place calls to the console on hold. Hold 1 through 3 are direct holds. Pressing
Hold 1, Hold 2, or Hold 3 places a call on hold at that location. Pressing Hold 4+
accesses five additional hold slots.
Answer
answer incoming calls to the console on a “first-come, first- served” basis.
Softkeys
Softkeys have functions that change depending on the state of the call you are handling or the
feature you are using. For example, when you call a busy extension the display will show the
softkey functions that are available for handling the call. One of these functions is Override,
another is Msg Waiting.
The [F1> to [F0> labels on the display correspond to the [F1> to [F0> keys on the consoles.
To use a softkey function, press the [F1> to [F0> key that corresponds to the display label for
that function.
Console Display
During call handling, the upper two lines identify the SOURCE or calling party [SRC] and the
DESTINATION or called party [DST].
The two lower lines, labeled [F1> to [F0>, show the current softkey labels. For example, if [F8>
is labeled [Override], pressing [F8> lets you override a busy extension’s conversation. At
another time, the same key, [F8>, could be labeled [Night 1]. Now, pressing [F8> places the
console in Night 1 operation.

Using Tone Signaling
Using Tone Signaling
You may have noticed that when you dial a number at the console, you do not hear any of the
tones or pulses normally associated with telephones. This is because the console
“communicates” with the rest of the telephone system using a different type of signaling.
However, there are times when telephone equipment, either in or outside your office, needs to
receive tones to complete a call. Typically, special services such as Voice mail systems
To enable tone signaling while connected to a service requiring tones:
1. Press [Tones On].
2. Dial the required code.
3. When you complete the call, press [Tones Off] to turn off tone signaling.
Flashing on Trunks
A trunk flash is a signal sent to another telephone system to do something such as place a call
on hold. You may need to use this feature when you have a call from another PABX in your
own company network, and you want to transfer it to the originating PABX or to a third one.
You can flash only when you are talking on a trunk to another trunk in a two-party call.
To flash on a trunk for further dialing:
1. Press [Single Flash] or [Double Flash].
2. Dial the required number.
3. Press Release.
Answering a Call with Night Service Enabled
When the console is in Night Service, incoming calls ring night bells or some other night
answering point. These calls can still be answered from the console even though they do not
ring the console bell.
The night answer point is programmed at the system level.
To answer a call when the console is in Night Service:
•
Press [Night Ans].

To pick up a call ringing at an extension:
1. Dial the Directed Call Pickup code. (Your communications department can provide the
code.)
2. Dial the extension number of the ringing extension.
3. Speak to the calling party.
Last Call Retrieve
This feature allows you to recover a call you transferred to the wrong extension. The call must
still be ringing the original extension to be recovered.
To retrieve the last call transferred from the console:
•
Press Cancel.
Multiple Console Operation
When more than one console is in use at the same time, they will operate in one of two ways:
1. Independent Operation
Consoles in this arrangement operate independently. Each console has unique hold slots
and incoming calls ring a specific console. A recall to the attendant returns only to the
console that initially handled the call.
2. Transparent Operation
With transparent operation, all consoles operate the same way. An incoming call rings all
consoles, though, recalls return to the individual console that handled the call.
The consoles are also given privileges to read or cancel messages left at an extension by
other extension users or the attendant. For more information about reading and canceling
messages, see page 47.
Inter-Console Calls and Transfers
An attendant can make and transfer calls to another attendant by dialing the console’s directory
number, but not by dialing 0 (zero). Whether you are transferring calls to an extension or another
Note: Inter-console calls cannot be put on hold.

Centralized Attendant Service (CAS)
Centralized Attendant Service (CAS)
CAS allows an attendant at one PABX to answer calls that arrive at another interconnected
PABX. Except for recalls, CAS has no effect on the way you handle calls from the console.
When a call from another PABX in a CAS system recalls the console, it appears as a “Dial 0”
call. Keep this in mind when answering the recall as it may affect how you greet the caller.
Voice mail
A voice mail system connected to your telephone system does not affect the operation of the
console. If a call is answered by such a system, you may be prompted to enter an access code
or an identification number. Before responding to the prompt, you must turn on tone signaling

This feature raises an alarm at the console when an extension user places a 911 (or other
designated Emergency Services number) call and identifies the extension that placed the call.
With this information, you can direct emergency services (for example, police or ambulance
personnel) to the location from which the call was placed.
When a 911 Call alarm is raised, the console rings and the display shows
“Emergency Call <Press Function Key for Details>”.
Note: Although the console alarm indicates the calling extension's location, the

Class of Service/Restriction
Each extension and trunk has a COS (Class of Service) and a COR (Class of Restriction) that
defines what the user of that extension or trunk can or cannot do. The system can have up to
96 of each, although most companies use only a few.
To help you answer questions from users who may be having problems with the system, you
may want to record a brief description of the most common COSs and CORs. For example,
COS 1 might mean, “Allows only local calls,” and COR 10 might be, “No long distance calls
