AT&T Attendant
AT&T Attendant is a stand-alone application that provides operator-like
services through the use of prerecorded messages and electronic switching.
!
Security Alert:
Products that are connected through a voice port must be
properly restricted to prevent toll fraud. See Appendix A following
Maintenance and Troubleshooting for more information.
Considerations
You cannot connect AT&T Attendant to a system that operates in Behind
Switch mode.
You cannot connect AT&T Attendant to a system that has an AUDIX
application or a voice mail system installed.
You can connect a maximum of four Attendants to the system.
You should program all lines to AT&T Attendant for reliable far-end
disconnect.
The system may need more touch-tone receivers if:
Single-line telephone users do not get a dial tone.
AT&T Attendant fails to transfer calls.
Calls fail to ring or go to coverage prematurely.
When Attendant is set up for both daytime and after-hours operation, the time
on each Attendant's clock must match the system clock so that the system
recognizes the end of the business day.
