console. A software tool is available which must be installed on a PC. This tool requires
operating system MS-DOS and can be installed on IBM compatible PCs (e.g. XT, AT, 386,
486 etc.).
• Fully Symmetrical Call Status Information
If the System Software supports this functionality, call status (e.g. diverted, alerting,
answered) is displayed for the 'A' party as well as the 'B' party. If the System Software does
not support this functionality, only the status information of one party is displayed. This is
called asymmetrical call status display.
• Individual Monitoring
The operator can mark an external call for special attention. This can be e.g. an important
customer or a long distance call who/which does not want to be kept waiting. If a call is
marked, it is indicated on the display in such a way that the operator is reminded that this
call is waiting and needs attention.
• Give a Line
The operator can give a line to an extension user who wants to dial an external number
himself, but is not allowed to do that.
• Messaging
Model 35 supports end-to-end messaging, as it is available for the SOPHO-SETs. This
facility can be used in two different ways:
- Free messaging
This is done by sending a short (ASCII) message to an extension, which is stored (in
that receiving set) together with the date, time and originators identity.
When the Supervisor dials a SOPHO-SET and the SOPHO-SET is ringing, it can send
and receive messages. Also in speech connection the SOPHO-SET can exchange
messages with the SuperVisor model 35.
- Message receiving
When an extension is dialled from the console and a message is stored in the
extension, the message is displayed immediately at 'number complete'. The message
is displayed on the dialogue line on the display.
e.g. An extension user programs the message "Holiday" on his/her set. When the
operator attempts to make a call to this extension the message will be displayed on
the display of the SuperVisor console.
As soon as a key is pressed, the message is automatically removed from the dialogue
line and deleted.
In case the operator is in the 'softkey' mode (special mode to access configuration data
in the console) the message will be lost.
• Password Protection
Unauthorised use of the model 25-S
Password protection is based on the password protection structure in the system.
Therefore it depends on the software package in the system, how the password
mechanism is implemented.
and model 35 is prevented by password protection.
