Attractiveness of PC compatibility
Norstar PC Console has combined telecommunications with personal computing to make the
attendant’s job easier, faster, and more efficient.
Attendant types
Each PC that has the Attendant program installed is set up to handle calls either as a main
attendant, overflow attendant, backup attendant or assistant attendant. Each attendant type
provides flexibility in responding to calls. This ensures that all calls can be handled in a
professional and timely manner. For detailed information about attendant setups, refer to
Types of attendant setups
on page 13 .
Reports
Norstar PC Console provides reports, allowing you to
obtain periodic information such as the number of
incoming calls and who answered the calls. This is impor-
tant information because it can indicate the calling trends
within the business and the performance of the telephone
system.
Ability to handle growth
A one-time purchase of Norstar PC Console is often all
that is ever needed. If you want to add more attendant
positions as the company grows, Norstar PC Console is
easily expandable.
Use of existing hardware
There is no need for you to purchase additional dedicated
hardware to obtain the power of Norstar PC Console.
Provided you have the minimum computer requirements,
all that is needed is the software and a simple hardware
enabler allowing your computer to communicate with the
Norstar ICS.
Multi-tasking
Norstar PC Console works in a multi-tasking environment.
You can use your PC for other tasks such as word
processing in addition to attending to calls. You can quickly
switch from PC tasks to the Attendant main window when
there is an incoming call.
