Network Attendant Service

Network Attendant Service (NAS - package 159) allows the operator to be located anywhere on the network.

To send operator calls to 850000, build a table in LD 86 as follows:

REQ  new
CUST 0
FEAT nas               Feature = NAS (Network Attendant Service)
TBL  0                 NAS routing Table 0 is the customer routing table
ALT  1                 Attendant Alternative number
ID   850000            Digits (up to 16) dialed to reach a remote attendant
ALT  
TODS 0                 0 is the Catch-all period, so start/stop times are not needed
ALST  :  1
DBK  N  :  y           Enable Drop Back busy option
QUE  N  :  y           Enable Queuing to route
TODS                   Hit return to end

When we print the table (LD 86), it's displayed as follows:

REQ  prt
CUST 0
FEAT nas
TBL  
 
TBL 00 
 
TOD 00:
ALT0      1     DRBK= YES   QUE= YES 
 
 
ALT 1    ID= 850000

To build a time of day schedule, enter a number other than 0 at TODS, and continue with start/stop times and days of week:

REQ  new
CUST 0
FEAT nas
TBL  0
ALT  1
ID   850000
ALT  
TODS 1
PER    09 00 17 00                   Start and stop times for the schedule period
DAYS  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 :  x6 x7         Remove Saturday and Sunday from our schedule
ALST  :  
TODS 

When we print the table, the time of day schedule is displayed as follows:

REQ  prt
CUST 0
FEAT nas
TBL  0
 
TBL 00 
 
TOD 00:
 
TOD 01:    09:00 TO 17:00  MON TUE WED THU FRI 
 
 
ALT 1    ID= 850000

To activate or Network Attendant Service, either put a NAS key on the local console(s), or force it in the customer data block. Print consoles in LD 20, add, change, or out in LD 12:
