Note that some of the settings on the individual Attendant screens can override

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 545.
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 633.

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.
The Station
 screen appears.
5. In one of the Button Assignment fields, enter 
atd-qcalls.
The atd-qcalls button provides the visual alerting for this telephone. When 
this button is dark (idle state), there are no calls in the attendant queue. 
When the button shows a steady light (busy state), there are calls in the 
attendant queue. When button shows a flashing light (warning state), the 
number of calls in the attendant queue exceeds the queue warning. The 
backup-telephone user also hears an alerting signal every 10 seconds.
6. Press 
ENTER to save changes.
Now you need to train the user how to interpret the backup alerting and give them 
the Trunk Answer Any Station (TAAS) feature access code so that they can 
answer the attendant calls.

Displaying caller information
This chapter provides information on the messages that appear on the read-out 
screen on display phones. 
Your system uses automatic incoming call display to provide information about 
incoming calls to a display phone that is in use, or active on a call. The 
information is displayed for 30 seconds on all phones except for CALLMASTER 
phones, where the display goes blank after 30 seconds. However, the information 
for each new call overrides the existing message.
Call information appears on the display only if the call terminates at the phone. 
For example, if the call is forwarded to another extension, no call information 
appears. 
Refer to ‘‘
Telephone Displays’’ on page 1511 for more information on the buttons 
and languages you can set up for the messages that appear on the display.

Characters that display are 
not what you thought you

make sure that you entered the right case.
You entered “~c”, and “*” 
appears on the display 
instead.Lower-case “c” has a specific meaning in the 
DEFINITY system, and therefore cannot be 
mapped to any other character. An asterisk “*” 
appears in its place.
