Handset
Connecting the CALLMASTER VI to the PC
A handset with a custom cable operates when plugged into one of the
headset jacks. The handset and cable are provided as a D-Kit.
The pin-outs of the headset jack are compatible only with the handset
provided in the D-Kit. Plugging in equipment that does not meet the
Lucent specification may damage the voice terminal and/or the
handset.
Buttons
The CALLMASTER VI voice terminal has eight raised buttons and one
Message Waiting indicator (see Figure 5). Six of the buttons
represented in Figure 5 can be administered on the DEFINITY ECS.
These are buttons 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and 9.
Voice Announcement Recording
The Announcements Recorder feature in the application software and
the CALLMASTER VI voice terminal enables recording and playback
of personalized announcements. You can record up to 6
announcements at a length of 9.6 seconds per announcement. The
application software provides the user interface to record and play
back the announcements, while the CALLMASTER VI provides the
sound chip for which announcements are recorded (via the headset)
and stored.
The CALLMASTER VI relays call information to and from the PC over
the Electronic Industry Association (EIA/TIA-574) cable. The PC uses
this interface to dial and provide a graphical user interface to the
DEFINITY ECS. See Figure 4 for an example of this connection.
