The Cisco Call Manager Attendant Console allows the attendant to quickly accept and dispatch calls to users. An integrated directory service provides traditional busy lamp field
and direct station select functions for any line in the system. One of the benefits of the Attendant Console is its ability to monitor the state of every line in the system and to efficiently dispatch calls.
Allows you to forward all incoming calls to another phone (IP or non-IP). This feature can be enabled directly on your IP phone or remotely through the web.
To enable the feature from your IP phone, press the CFwdALL soft key, enter the number you would like to forward your calls to (either voice mail number or another number). Enter the number as if you are dialing it (i.e., 65000,
915175551212, etc.) Your phone display will show a flashing icon and the number you entered. To cancel the forwarding of all calls, press CFwdALL. The number will no longer be displayed.
Using a web browser, log in to the User Options Web Page. Indicate your device (i.e., 7961). Choose Forward all calls... from the menu. Enter your target phone number and click Update. When you are finished, click Return to the Menu or Log Off at the bottom of the page. To cancel
Call Forward using the web, follow the same process to log in. Remove the checkmark in the box, click Update, and log off.

To activate Call PickUp, press any available line button on your phone. Press the
PickUp soft key. The call now rings on your phone. Press the Answer soft key to answer the call.
If there is more than one incoming call involved when you activate Call PickUp, the

Allows you to receive more than one call at a time. While on the phone, you'll be alerted by a single ring tone that you have another incoming call. The display will indicate the Caller ID. Once you answer the new call,
the first call is automatically placed on hold. When your call is completed, you can go back to the original caller.

Doing so will automatically activate a new line and puts the first party on hold. Place a call to another number. When the call connects, press Confrn again to add the new party to the conference call.
Conference Call Tips:
Once the conference call initiator disconnects, no additional parties can be added.
To place a conference call on hold, press the Hold soft key. The other parties can talk among themselves but they cannot hear you. Keep in mind when you put a call on hold, a beeping tone automatically generates every few seconds. To avoid disrupting the other callers, consider muting the call instead. To mute the call, press the MUTE button.
To place a conference call on speakerphone, press SPEAKER. Press MUTE to mute the speakerphone. The conference parties cannot hear you but you can hear them.

The call that is being diverted can be in the call offering, call on hold, or call active state. The call can be incoming or outgoing. The person on the call that is being diverted will receive the greeting of the voice-messaging system of the person who diverted the call.
For specific instructions see Using Immediate Divert.

Press the Meet-Me soft key
Dial the Meet-Me conference number
Follow the voice instructions to establish the Meet-Me conference
To Join a Meet-Me conference, simply dial the Meet-Me conference number provided by the Meet-Me conference initiator. You are connected to the conference once the conference initiator has dialed in and established the conference. You do not need to press the Meet-Me soft key on your phone.
Allows you to store or "park" a call at a specified number and then use any other IP phone to retrieve the call. During an active call, press the Park soft key.
The display shows the number to which the call is parked. Make a note of the Call Park number and then hang up. The call is now parked at that number, allowing you to retrieve it from another phone.
To retrieve the parked call from any IP phone, dial the Call Park number at which the call was parked. You have a limited amount of time to retrieve the parked call before it disconnects.
Allows you to set up and maintain a personal address book that contains listings for people internal and external to your company. You can also assign Fast Dial codes to personal address book entries and dial those codes in place of phone numbers. You must subscribe to this service before using it.
While on a call, you can place the call on hold, so that the caller cannot hear you and you cannot hear the caller. You can answer other calls while a call is on hold. To place a call on hold, press the Hold soft key.
To return to the call, press the Resume soft key. If multiple calls are on hold, use the scroll key to select the desired call before you press Resume.
Allows you to troubleshoot performance problems by reporting them directly. While on a call, press the QRT soft key and select a general problem from a list of problem categories and reason codes. The problem information is immediately submitted to the system administrator.
(Note: a follow-up call to ITCom Repair Services [647-8888] to provide problem details will expedite the repair process.)
Allows you to dial the most recently dialed number. Lift the handset and press the Redial soft key. To redial the most recently dialed number from a line other than your primary line, select the desired line button and then press Redial.
This feature can be assigned by an administrator when multiple people need to share a line or if one person uses multiple phones. If you have a shared line, a remote-in-use icon on your phone screen indicates that a co-worker is currently using the shared line.
You can place and receive calls as usual on a shared line, even when the remote-in-use icon appears. You can add yourself to a shared line call by using the Barge feature (if the Privacy feature is not
enabled). The Privacy feature prevents others from viewing call information or barging calls on a shared line.
