2.7.1 Using The Pull-Down Menu Features Speed Dials You can use the Speed Dials pull-down menu to view and/or dial one of 200 pre-programmed DXP system speed dial numbers. Directory Selecting the Directory pull-down menu activates a window that contains lines and columns for you to enter the appropriate intercom names and numbers for your system (see 3.1.4 “Directory—Creating And Editing” ) . The Directory pull-down menu can be used to dial an intercom number—simply position the cursor on the desired number and pressEnter. The Directory is the source from which you dial when you activate the Dial-By-Name feature (discussed in the chapter titledUsing The PC Attendant’s Specialized Features); however, the names assigned to intercom numbers displayed in the Intercom window are a product of DXP programming. It is a good idea, therefore, to enter the Directory names so that they coincide with the intercom names assigned during DXP programming. Obtain a list of intercom names from your system programmer or installer. Options The Options menu provides access to lesser-used options than those one-touch features found on the keyboard. Specific instructions on how to use the options are found in theUsing The PC Attendant’s Other Featureschapter of this guide, unless otherwise noted. Line Access:Provides a visual indication of the status of the lines. Paging:selecting this option allows you to choose a zone in which your announcement will be heard. (Zone 1 is typically used for all-call paging.) Park Retrieve:activates the Park Orbits window, which tells you the location of currently parked calls awaiting service. For information on how to use this window to retrieve a parked call, refer to theUsing The PC Attendant To Answer, Direct, And Make Callschapter of this guide. Alternate Mode:selecting Alternate Mode from the Options menu routes the functions of the PC Attendant to an alternate attendant. Choosing this option a second time returns all call activity to the PC Attendant console. Night Mode:selecting Night Mode transfers the PC Attendant’s call activity to a designated night attendant station or to the DXP system, which sounds a tone when incoming calls are received so that the calls may be picked up from any telephone within the system or group. ITCM Names/Numbers:selecting this option changes the current Intercom window display from names to numbers or from numbers to names. The names and numbers are supplied through DXP programming. If an intercom has no name assigned to it, only the number will appear when “Names” is selected. Line Names/Numbers:selecting this option changes the current Line window display from names to numbers or from numbers to names. The names and numbers are supplied through DXP programming. If a line has no name assigned to it, only the number will appear when “Names” is selected. PC Settings:allows you to activate a “screen saver” that should be turned on when the PC Attendant console is to be idle for a period of time.

2.8.5 Line Greetings As an attendant, you may be called on to answer lines for many different departments or divisions within the same company, or you may need to answer telephones for more than one company. When call traffic is heavy, it’s not always easy to remember what you are supposed to say when answering a particular line (for example, “ABC Marketing” may be the required greeting on one line, and “ABC Company—How may I direct your call?” may be required on another). Line greetings are designed to give you an immediate indication of the greeting required for a particular line. ·To program line greetings for the different lines within your system, 1. activate the Programming pull-down menu, 2. pressALT-Pand pressEnter, —OR— pressEscto move the cursor into the menu bar from the main screen, position the cursor on “Programming,” and pressEnter, 3. move the cursor to highlight “Line Greeting,” 4. pressEnter, 5. type the line greetings necessary for each line, 6. pressEnter(cursor will move down the line list), 7. type other greetings or pressEscto exit.
