Making Calls

Your optiClient Attendant attendant console allows you to initiate internal and external calls. When placing an external outgoing call, you also have the option of setting it up as a personal call. Such calls are specially marked during call charge evaluation so that they can be billed separately.


	Outgoing external calls can automatically be identified by the length of the number to be dialed. If the number exceeds a certain length, the external code is prefixed automatically. For the programming of the minimum length, please consult your service technician.

Making External Calls

Step by Step

Enter the external code and the external station's number. The number is dialed as soon as you press Enter.

Enter the external code and the external station's number. Then click the General button.
The station number is dialed.

Personal Calls

Using the Private button, you can conduct external personal calls. These calls are specially marked for call charge evaluation.

Enter the external code and the external station's number. Then click the Private button.
The station number is dialed.


	If you must dial the external code before dialing the external station number, the system is programmed so that automatic line seizure is deactivated. In this case, the Internal button does not appear in the attendant monitor. If automatic line seizure is activated, you do not need to dial the external code. However, for internal calls you must then click the Internal button before dialing.

Turning DTMF Suffix-Dialing On and Off

While engaged in an external call, you can activate a sequence of digits to control answering machines or information and switching systems.

Select DTMF suffix dialing from the Edit menu.

A window for entering the DTMF digit sequence appears. Enter the digit sequence and click the "OK" button.

Making Internal Calls

Step by Step

Enter the number of the internal station and press Enter to confirm.

You can also dial the station from the electronic directory , the busy lamp field , or the repertory dial keys .


	You can program the system so that automatic line seizure is activated. It will then be unnecessary to dial the external code when placing external calls. However, you will then have to click the Internal button before placing internal calls. This button is displayed only if automatic line seizure is activated.
