The call is diverted to the attendant console.

If the console is in Night Service or no console is administered, the call is diverted to a night telephone.

If no console or night telephone is administered, the call can be diverted to a user-defined telephone. This user-defined telephone is called the Remote Attendant Route String.

The Attendant Diversion Timing controls how long that this type of call rings before the system routes the call to the Remote Attendant Route String. The Remote Attendant Route String is any valid telephone number on the network, and is usually a backup answering position for the remote attendant console. The Remote Attendant Route String does not raise the precedence level of the call.

If the Remote Attendant Route String is undefined and there is no attendant console or night telephone is administered, the call rings until the call is answered or abandoned.
