Introduction
The display
The display is at the top of the console. It has hinges, so you can tilt it to the angle you like. You can
choose from a number of options to have information on the display screen presented in the manner you
like best. (See "Options menu.")
The display screen has four lines:
Line 1 displays the date and time. You can choose the format of their presentation using the Options
menu.
Line 2 gives information about the source of a call. The source information may include the number of the
extension from which the call is placed, the name of the person who is calling, and the trunk line number
for a call from outside the system. You may also see a code for the reason you received the call (these
abbreviations may vary):
Line 3 gives information about the destination of a call. The destination information can include the
number dialed, the name of the person whose extension you dialed, and the trunk and other access codes.
Line 4 gives information about the console itself. It tells you when there are calls waiting in the queue,
whether the console is idle, active, or in position- busy or night-service mode, and when the
equipment fails.
When you dial a number, it shows up on the display screen. For some procedures, you will use the
asterisk ( * ) or the octothorpe ( # ), which appears as an H on the M1250 attendant console.
