This procedure describes how to remove an attendant from Communication Manager. In this procedure, as an example, attendant 3 is assigned to extension 4345.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Communication Manager System Access Terminal (SAT).
  2. In the command prompt, type status attendant 3 and press Enter.

    Communication Manager displays the Attendant Status screen.

  3. Plug the attendant console into the jack.

    Ensure that the attendant console is in idle state.

    The Usage screen displays the usage of the extension.

  5. If Communication Manager displays the attendant extension on the Usage screen, press Cancel, and access the appropriate feature screen and delete the extension.

    For example, if extension 4345 belongs to hunt group 2, type change hunt group 2 and delete the extension from the list.

  6. Type remove attendant 3 and press Enter.

    Communication Manager displays the Attendant Console screen, so you can verify that you are removing the correct attendant.

  7. If the attendant that you have chosen is the correct attendant, save the changes.

    Communication Manager displays an error message that you must take out the attendant group from night service before removal or change, deactivate the Night Service feature.
