Busy Lamp Field

	Special features must be taken into consideration if your Attendant P operates with HiPath AllServe (system networking via PC network) !

Representation

The busy lamp field has a total of 240 status keys that that you can divide into two or four groups, assigning an internal station to each key. The status keys display either the number (in station number mode) or the name (in name mode) of the internal stations assigned to them, enabling you to display a total of 240 internal parties as follows:

In station number mode: two groups of 120 stations each.

In name mode: four groups of 60 stations each.

To select a station, click the status key assigned to this station.

To change these status button colors, select Settings from the File menu, and then the BLF tab. From there, you can also select whether the background color or only the color of the status button label should be changed.

Example: If a status button has a gray background, the station if free. If the background is dark red, the station is busy with an external call; if it is light red, the station is busy with an internal call. If the station is being called, the background of the status button turns yellow.

If you position the mouse on a status key while the BLF displays the internal party's station number, a window automatically pops up containing the station name of this party.

If the BLF displays the name, the station number appears in the pop-up window of the selected status key.
