Centralized Attendant Service Description and engineering
The engineering procedure is as follows:
1
Calculate the attendant traffic (Ta) generated at the Remote site by using
this formula: Ta =
τ
x
AWT/100 CCS.
τ
= the number of calls per hour in the Remote site that require an
attendant
AWT = attendant work time
2
Select the appropriate table (
) according to the
specified grade of service.
3
Select the appropriate column in the table according to the attendant
work time.
4
Select from the chosen column a number (T) that is greater than or equal
to the value Ta that was determined in step 1.
Example:
is chosen because it meets the given grade-of-service values. From
this table, in the AWT 16–20 column, the value T of 120 CCS is selected (T
CCS
≥
Ta CCS). For the value T = 120 CCS, the table shows that six RLT
circuits are required for this particular application.
Average speed of answer
= 2 s grade of service
Average RLT delay
= 2 s
Attendant work time (AWT)
= 20 s
Attendant calls/hours in the Remote site (Ê) = 500
Then
Ta = 500
x
20/100 CCS
Ta = 100 CCS
