104 Removing an attendant console 
5
Removing an attendant console
Before you physically remove an attendant from your system, check the 
attendant’s status, remove it from any group or usage lists, and then delete it from 
the system’s memory.
For example, to remove attendant 3, which also is assigned extension 4345:
1. Type 
status attendant 3 and press RETURN.
The Attendant Status screen appears.
2. Make sure that the attendant:
nis plugged into the jack
nis idle (not making or receiving calls)
3. Type 
list usage extension 4345 and press RETURN.
The Usage screen shows whether the extension is used in any vectors or is 
used as a controller.
4. Press 
CANCEL. 
5. If the attendant extension appears on the Usage screen, access the 
appropriate feature screen and delete the extension.
For example, if extension 1234 belongs to hunt group 2, type 
change hunt 
group 2
 and delete the extension from the list.
6. Type 
remove attendant 3 and press RETURN.
The system displays the Attendant Console
 screen so you can verify that 
you are removing the correct attendant.
7. If this is the correct attendant, press 
ENTER.
If the system responds with an error message, the attendant is busy or still 
belongs to a group. Press 
CANCEL to stop the request, correct the problem, 
and enter 
remove attendant 3 again.
8. Remove the extension from voice mail service if the extension has a voice 
mailbox.
9. Type 
save translations and press RETURN to save your changes.
Note that you do not need to delete the extension from coverage paths. The system 
automatically adjusts coverage paths to eliminate the extension.
Now you can unplug the console from the jack and store it for future use. You do 
not need to disconnect the wiring at the cross-connect field. The extension and 
port address remain available for assignment at a later date.

5
Providing backup for an attendant
DEFINITY ECS allows you to configure your system so that you have backup 
positions for your attendant. Attendant Backup Alerting notifies backup 
telephones that the attendant need assistance in handling calls. The backup 
telephones are alerted when the attendant queue reaches the queue warning level 
or when the console is in night service. 
Once a backup telephone receive an alert, the user can dial the Trunk Answer Any 
Station (TAAS) feature access code to answer the alerting attendant calls.
Tip:
You can find more information about attendant backup in the GuestWorks 
Technician Handbook.
Before you start
nYou can assign the attendant backup alerting only to multiappearance 
telephones that have a client room class of service (COS) set to No. For 
more information, refer to ‘‘
Class of Service’’ on page 532.
nIf you have not yet defined a Trunk Answer Any Station (TAAS) feature 
access code, you need to define one and provide the feature access code to 
each of the attendant backup users. For more information, refer to ‘‘
Feature 
Access Code’’ on page 619.
Instructions
To enable your system to alert backup stations, you need to administer the 
Console Parameters screen for backup alerting. You also need to give the backup 
phones an attendant queue calls feature button and train your backup users how to 
answer the attendant calls.
To configure the system to provide backup alerts and to setup extension 4345 to 
receive these alerts, complete the following steps:
1. Type 
change console-parameters and press RETURN.
The Console Parameters
 screen appears.
2. In the Backup Alerting field, enter 
y.
3. Press 
ENTER to save changes.
The system will now notify anyone with an attendant queue calls button 
when the attendant queue reaches the warning level or when the console is 
in night service.
4. Type 
change station 4345 and press RETURN.
