Centralized Attendant

It is possible for one Attendant to serve an entire Strata Net. Station users anywhere in the network can

simply dial
and name. Incoming trunk calls to any node in the network can be routed to one attendant and then
extended anywhere in the network.
Network Busy Lamp Field (BLF) (R1.3 and higher)
Network BLF is an indication on the CTX Attendant Console that an extension is Busy, Idle or in DND
over different nodes. With software release 1.3 and higher, the remote CTXs can read the BLF information
from the local CTX. Prior to R1.3, BLF information had to be entered for each remote CTX.
In order to use Network BLF, the CTX Attendant Console must have access to each CTX by LAN and
requires the IP addresses of each node/CTX.
you the types of connections required between the BLF servers, the Strata CTXs and the CTX Attendant
Console.
