Using The Console; Optional Equipment - AT&T MERLIN 3070 Administration Manual

Using the Console

When you administer your system, you frequently use the Auto Intercom buttons and
Shift buttons (large systems only) on the administrator/attendant console. The
paragraphs below describe how to use these buttons.
Auto Intercom Buttons
Each person's voice terminal has a unique 2-digit intercom number similar to an ex-
tension number. These intercom numbers (10 through 39 for a Model 1030 system,
10 through 79 for a Model 3070 system) are automatically assigned to Auto Intercom
buttons on the console. During system administration, you use the lights next to each
Auto Intercom button to determine the status of voice terminals in your system.
Shift Buttons (large systems only)
The large console has three Shift buttons that enable you to administer as many as
70 voice terminals by using only the 30 Auto Intercom buttons on the Attendant ln-
tercorn Selector. When you touch one of the Shift buttons, you change the intercom
numbers assigned to the Auto Intercom buttons. Use the left Shift button labeled
10-20-30 to select intercom numbers 10 through 39 in the blue band, the center Shift
button labeled 40-50-60 to select intercom numbers 40 through 69 in the white band,
and the right Shift button labeled 70-80-90 to select intercom numbers 70 through
79 in the gray band. If you want to dial a particular intercom number, you must first
touch the Shift button that provides access to the group of intercom numbers that
includes the one you want. For example, if you want to assign lines to the voice ter-
minal represented by intercom 31, touch the left Shift button. The light next to the
Shift button comes on, and the Auto Intercom buttons now represent intercom
numbers 10 through 39.
Message Status Button (large systems only)
The Message Status button is used only when your console is in the attendant mode.
You use this button to find out which voice terminals have messages waiting for them.
