Console Operations
8Basic Operation
Status Lamps
The buttons on the console have status lamps associated with their use. These
status lamps come on, go off, or flash as you use the console features. When the
lamps come on, the feature is active. When the lamps go off, the feature is
inactive. When the lamps flash 3 times, you have pressed the wrong button or you
cannot access the feature at this time.
There are also some status lamps not directly associated with buttons, and they are
located next to the dial keypad.
■ Calls Waiting — This lamp lights when there is one call in the queue.
■ Calls Waiting Warning — This lamp lights when the attendant calls waiting
in queue limit has been reached. When this happens, any administered
backup telephones are alerted. The queue limit is an administrable value.
■ Individual Calls Waiting — This lamp lights when a call is made to the
console’s individual extension number and the call is in queue to be
answered.
■ Alarm — This lamp lights when the switch has detected a failure. Follow
local procedures if this lamp is lit.
■ Alarm Reported — This lamp lights when an alarm prompts the switch to
dial up the remote maintenance center, report the alarm, and the
maintenance center acknowledges the alarm. For some installations, this
remote alarm reporting is not available.
■ Position Available — This lamp lights when the console is available to
handle a call.
The trunk group select buttons have 3 status lamps associated with each button.
■ Control — This lamp is on if the trunk group has controlled restrictions
administered.
■ Warning — This lamp is on when some trunks are busy. Select an alternate
trunk group if possible, or use this group if necessary.
■ Busy — This lamp is on when all the trunks in a trunk group are busy. You
must select another trunk group or try again later.
