Analog Stations

ATTENDANT STATIONS
2-10 Reserving Line Jacks
Filling out the "Station Jacks" section of the Master Planning Form for analog
stations basically consists of assigning intercom numbers to stations by
matching station jack numbers with people, locations, or functions. But the
following analog stations require special consideration:
• Attendant stations
• Stations with the Simultaneous Voice and Data feature
• Stations with the Voice Announcement to Busy Voice Terminal feature
Attendant stations are voice terminals that are specially administered for call
handling and other duties of telephone attendants such as receptionists.
Only analog voice terminals can be attendant stations.
Station 10
In every system, the station connected to station jack number 01 is the
primary attendant position and the central administration point. The voice
terminal connected to station jack 01 is called the administrator/attendant
console and is assigned intercom number 10.
On the row for station jack 01 on the Master Planning Form, identify the
primary attendant station as follows:
1 In the "Station Jack" column, write "Att" next to the preprinted "01"
identify this as an attendant station.
2 In the "Person, Location, or Function" column, write in the name or
location of the primary attendant.
Other Attendant Stations
Certain stations in addition to station 01 can serve as attendant positions.
They are the stations connected to every fourth analog station jack after
number 01 on the control unit. For example, if the first 16 station jacks on
your control unit are on analog station modules, the possible attendant
stations (in addition to station 01) are those connected to jacks 5, 9, and 13.
Your system can have as many as eight attendant stations, depending on the
number of analog station modules you have.
Identify other possible attendant stations in your system as follows:
1 In the "Station Jack" column, write "Att" next to the number for every
fourth analog station jack after station jack number 01.
2 Fill in the "Person, Location, or Function" column for the stations
you know will be attendant stations when your system is up and
running.
3 Remove the "Att" designation from those station jacks that you won't
use as attendant stations.
