Norstar PC Console 1.1 User Guide P0887496 01
Once the settings are completed, the Attendant program displays all incoming calls to the
attendant’s telephone which appear on the Attendant main window as a yellow
Ringing Loop
button. If the attendant’s telephone has been programmed to receive all incoming calls for the
company, that is as a main attendant, then the Norstar PC Console Attendant program now
also displays those calls.
In order to receive and make calls properly, the Attendant program requires that an extension
be associated with the program. The extension must be a valid extension on the Norstar
system and should be the telephone located at the attendant’s desk.
To set or change the attendant’s extension number:
1. Click
Tools
then
Options
. The
Options
dialog box appears with the
Options
tab dis-
played.
2. Click the
My Extension
box in the
Attendant
group box.
3. Type the extension number of the attendant’s telephone.
Part-time main attendant setup
The part-time main attendant is an attendant that is available to answer incoming calls and
also performs additional functions on the PC, such as word processing.
The difference between the full-time main attendant setup and the part-time main attendant
setup is that the part-time setup has additional Attendant options selected which allow
notification of incoming calls when the attendant program is minimized. Refer to Full-time main
attendant setup on page 13 and Setting up other attendant features on page 17.
Backup attendant setup
A backup attendant is an attendant position that receives calls that have been re-directed from
another attendant position. The backup attendant can, at the same time, be operating as a
main attendant or assistant attendant, or any combination of the attendant types.
Note
: As with all Attendant program setups, the Server ID and
Attendant extension options have to be set within the
Options
dialog box. Once this is done, the Attendant program
displays all incoming calls that arrive on the attendant’s
Norstar telephone. Refer to Setting up other attendant
features on page 17.
Each Attendant PC that was set up originally to receive incoming calls must be set up to re-
direct the calls to the backup Attendant PC.
Note
: Calls can be redirected to another Norstar PC Console
attendant or any Norstar extension within the company.
