1.1 Introduction
The 4059 MAC (Multimedia Attendant Console) terminal, also called SBC (Screen Based
Console), is integrated into the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise Communication Server.
This application provides the maximum level of comfort and user friendliness. It is used when
there is just a single attendant set for a system. It may also form part of a team of attendants
when telephone requirements mean that several dedicated sets are necessary.
The Alcatel-Lucent 4059 attendant console can be set up in one of the three configurations:
- a standard configuration using the TDM network, where the terminal is referred to as
Alcatel-Lucent 4059 MAC
- an IP configuration using the IP network, where the terminal is referred to as
Alcatel-Lucent 4059 IP and the attendant set is an Alcatel-Lucent 8 series set.
- a mixed IP configuration using the TDM and IP network, where the terminal is referred to
as Alcatel-Lucent 4059 IP and the attendant set is an Alcatel-Lucent 9 series set.
The Alcatel-Lucent 4059 console is used to optimize call management: to reply to and easily
direct incoming calls, to manage internal calls and, if necessary, to connect internal sets to
recipients outside the system.
This console also allows the attendant to take some responsibility for system management.
The following operations, among others, are available to the attendant:
- Switching over the system from standard operation to a status configured for reduced
activity (at night, for example)
- Reserving external lines for a specific use
- Controlling the use of internal and external lines by the users
- Selecting automatic connection of calls
- Programming the date and time of the system, the checking of call costs, etc.
You are advised to read this user manual before using the console.
1.2 System architecture

All attendants must be part of an attendant group, consisting of up to 50 attendant
sets/consoles (the maximum number of attendants in an attendant group depends on the
product software version).
The attendants within a group can use different sets/consoles, but all the terminals of the
group must be on the same node and the same IP network (in the case of IP or mixed IP
configurations). An attendant terminal can only belong to one group.
1.2.1 Standard configuration

The Alcatel-Lucent 4059 MAC application runs on a PC connected to a Terminal Adapter,
which in turn is connected to the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise CS.
The 4059 MAC application runs in Microsoft Windows 2000 (as of version 4.014.9 of the 4059)
and Windows XP (as of version 4.015.0) operating environments.

Note:
All references here to the term "MAC" refer to the Multimedia Attendant Console. The Alcatel-Lucent
4059 is currently not available on the Apple Macintosh platform.
1.2.2 IP or mixed IP configurations

From Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise CS Release 8.0, the Alcatel-Lucent 4059 IP
application can be connected to the PCX through the IP network. The 4059 IP application runs
on a PC in Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 (minimum) or Windows Vista (as of
version 5.1.0) operating environments. It includes a software part, a specific keyboard, and an
Alcatel-Lucent 8 series or Alcatel-Lucent 9 series set.

1.3 The MAC/IP keyboard

!

1-3
Chapter 1 # $ %
The MAC/USB Telephonic keyboard has specific keys for call handling and other telephone
functions. With an IP or a mixed IP configuration, the loudspeaker is replaced by a cover as
the audio features are provided by the Alcatel-Lucent 8 series or Alcatel-Lucent 9 series set.
On this keyboard, all keys which are not identical to those on a standard PC keyboard are
used by the 4059 application. These keys are used for immediate call handling, even when
using another application or when the application and/or the PC are off.
Each MAC key corresponds to a specific function. A LED is associated with each keyboard
key dedicated to call handling. A lit LED informs the attendant that the corresponding key is
available for any operation.
Certain standard PC keys can also be used for call handling.
1.3.1 Switchover key
This key is also called the application switchover key. Its operation differs if the
4059 application is started on the PC.
- In standard configuration only: 4059 application not started on the PC: the key
is used to switch the keyboard to the PC or to the MAC TA (Alcatel-Lucent
OmniPCX). If the LED of the key is red, the keyboard is dedicated to the MAC
TA (see Blind operation (Operation without display) ). If this LED is unlit, the
keyboard is dedicated to the PC
- In all configurations: 4059 application started on the PC: the key is used to
switch from the 4059 window to another PC application (and vice versa).
Note:
Ensure that in the display configuration, the 4059 activation option: By Application
switch key is selected (see module Alcatel-Lucent 4059 Multimedia Attendant Console
- Management from the attendant console Window appearance and display)
1.3.2 Call handling keys
Opens the personal directory of the console (to configure it, see module
Alcatel-Lucent 4059 Multimedia Attendant Console - Management from the
attendant console Programming the individual directory)
Release: ends the attendant intervention on a call.
Answer an internal call.
Redial a number from the list of the last 10 outgoing calls.
Broker call.
Place on hold/transfer: places a call on hold (or transfers a call).
Cancel the consultation call: returns to the main call.

1.3.6 Blind operation (Operation without display)

The blind operation is only available on (Alcatel-Lucent 4059 MAC).
In the event of a power cut, or when the 4059 application has not been started up on the PC,
calls can be handled via the MAC/USB Telephonic keyboard.
The possibilities in this degraded mode are reduced. Only simple operations not requiring a
window can be accessed, such as:
- Answering calls
- Calling internal or external parties (as long as their number is known)
- Transferring a call
Alcatel-Lucent recommends backing up the PC power supply when all 4059 functions are
needed on a permanent basis.
If the PC is no longer powered, but the 4059 application was active at the moment the power
was cut: check that the key is lit (press it if necessary).
If the PC is no longer powered and the 4059 application was not active at the moment the
power was cut, check that the key is lit (press it if necessary) and press S4 to set the
attendant function into service (check that the night forwarding LED of the keyboard is unlit).
Press S1 to set the attendant function out of service (the night forwarding LED on the
keyboard is green).
Incoming calls are indicated by a ringing and/or by one or more keys flashing.
Numbers for outgoing calls are dialed on the numeric keypad of the keyboard.
1.4 Attendant set characteristics in IP or mixed IP configurations

All the audio features of the 4059 IP attendant are provided by the Alcatel-Lucent 8 series or
Alcatel-Lucent 9 series set. Audio keys and icons are disabled on the set. The USB Telephonic
keyboard audio keys or corresponding 4059 application audio menu are used instead.

4.1 Overview
This chapter details:
- The additional functions offered on the S keys (from the window and the MAC keyboard)
- The operation of the keys pre-programmed by the system administrator
4.2 S keys
During call handling, additional functions (presented on the S keys) can be used for the
following operations:
Note:
The keys are used to change page.
4.2.1 Chained Call

Routing with chained release.
Routing with chained release allows the attendant to transfer an external call to an internal set.
The external party is rerouted to the attendant set as soon as the internal user has on-hooked.
The same call can therefore be routed to several sets in succession.
4.2.2 Charged Call

Routing with charged release.
During the routing of an external outgoing call to an internal user, the charged release
activates the call back to the attendant set when the internal set on-hooks. Answering the call
back displays the identity of the set and the number of charge units charged to this set.
4.2.3 Release Ctrl

Routing with release control.
During the routing of an external call to a busy internal set, the attendant can put the call on
hold with release control. When the internal user on-hooks, their set is not rung, but the
external call returns to the attendant set. The attendant can then route it to the called user.
4.2.4 Frwrd Attnd

Forwarding between attendants.
The attendant can forward an internal or external call to another attendant (or attendant group)
whose set is in service and available. The attendant can thus successively route the same call
to several user sets.

the 4059 Attendant console Programmable keys).
This dialog box is used to select a key from the list of programmable keys, to program the
associated type of element, and to give comments.
Example:
4.3.1 Call presentation

This feature is used to assign the waiting queue operating mode. One or more traffic flows can
be associated with one or more keys. By pressing a key, the attendant takes the waiting call
with the highest priority from the traffic flow(s) served by the key.
Several presentation keys can be configured by the system administrator to present only the
following calls:
- Non DDI entities (trunk group call all entities)
- Public entities (public DDI call all entities)
- Private entities (private DDI/internal call, all entities)
- Deb DDI entities (non answered DDI call all entities)
- Internal calls (private network)

- External calls (public network)

- VIP
- VIP2
- Call back (attendant)
- Transfer between attendants
- Other (misc.)
- General hold
- Chained call
- Charged release
- Individual call
Key 1 is pre-programmed by default as a call presentation (Miscellaneous) key. This cannot be
modified. This allows the attendant to take the call with the highest priority from those on hold
resulting from traffic flow(s) indicating an external party (external call, call back, return from
chaining, etc.).
4.3.2 Directory No supervision

Press the key to lock the supervised internal set.
The attendant can configure a supervision icon (see the module Alcatel-Lucent 4059
Multimedia Attendant Console - Introduction to the 4059 Attendant console Busy lamp field)
so that this icon shows the status of the supervised set in real time (see the module
Supervision icons).
4.3.3 Speed Dialing Number

Press the key to call the corresponding number.
The attendant can also configure a key with a speed dialing number.
4.3.4 Individual routing

Individual routing allows the attendant to route an external (supervised) call without placing it in
the queue.
4.3.5 Network/Network Transfer

This feature is used to inter-connect two external parties via the system, with the possibility of
releasing the connection.
Following an incoming call, the attendant makes an outgoing call to a party and is in
conversation. Pressing the key connects the two trunks and supervision is activated.
Pressing the key again allows the attendant to barge in. Pressing the key again exits the
barge-in and restarts supervision.
4.3.6 Trunk Group Supervision

This function allows the attendant to monitor the occupation level of a trunk group. If there are
still trunks free, pressing this key corresponds to an ordinary seizure without dialing of an
external trunk from this supervised trunk group.
Multimedia Attendant Console - Management from the attendant console Supervision icons)
so that this icon shows the status of the supervised trunk group in real time.
4.3.7 Out of Service Trunk Supervision

This feature warns the attendant of a trunk malfunction (no tone on seizure). When this key is
pressed, the display shows the number of the defective termination(s).
The termination can be isolated from the trunk group (see the module Alcatel-Lucent 4059
Multimedia Attendant Console - Management from the attendant console Decommissioning
a defective external line).
Multimedia Attendant Console - Management from the attendant console Supervision icons)
so that this icon shows the status of the supervised trunk group in real time.
4.3.8 Individual Hold

Individual hold puts an external outgoing or incoming party on hold on a specific circuit.
Pressing the key connects the party to this individual circuit connected to the hold music.
Several keys can be programmed for individual hold, according to the size of the system.
The party can only be retrieved from the idle state. If the attendant console switches to idle
mode, calls on hold are redistributed after a timer.
4.3.9 Transfer with privilege

This feature lets the attendant transfer an external outgoing trunk to a user set if the
corresponding direct seize prefix is programmed on this key. The user will then dial the
external party number as a call in direct seize.
