DATA SHEET  | MITEL MiVOICE 5550 IP CONSOLE
MULTIPLE BUSY LAMP FIELD LISTS
Busy Lamp Field capabilities allow operators to monitor the status of 
employee extensions and transfer calls with a single click. In cases 
where attendants support multiple departments or groups, 5550 IP 
Consoles supports multiple BLF lists allowing the operator to have 
dedicated lists for each group or department – making it quicker 
and easier to find an employee and see their status. If they are not 
available, the operator can see at a glance if there is someone else 
in their group who could speak to the caller, improving service to the 
callers. Each extension on the MiVoice Business can be in multiple 
BLF lists – for example, a sales representative in a branch office could 
appear in both the list for sales and the list for the branch office. Lists 
can be shared among all attendants, or dedicated to a single attendant. 
Available in tile view form, the Busy Lamp Field tile gives the attendant 
all the information required in simple, condensed form.
CALL HISTORY SUPPORT
Imagine a caller asking for a transfer made earlier – however, the caller 
has misplaced the name of the destination party. The 5550 IP Console 
has been designed to provide the information they need in order to 
satisfy the most challenging transfer requests. With a simple look 
though the call history; attendants are able to easily fulfill the most 
difficult request, strengthening the professional image of  
any corporation.
MULTI-TENANTING SUPPORT
Several companies can share the cost of doing business by hosting a 
common answer point. The small and medium-sized business benefits 
by sharing a single answer point, while the large conglomerate saves 
by having all subsidiaries handled by a consolidated answer point. 
Attendants are prompted with customized greetings based on 
the company number the caller dialed, removing any guess work 
associated with Multi-Tenanting environments. For companies that 
enable Busy Lamp Field, multiple company Busy Lamp Field lists can  
be created to help attendants make sure that transfers go to the  
proper destination.
FLEXIBILITY FOR TELEWORKERS
Save valuable office space by giving attendants the ability to work from 
anywhere in the world. 5550 IP Consoles can also be run in Teleworker 
mode, in conjunctions with the MiVoice Border Gateway and Mitel 
Teleworker Solution. This flexibility allows any attendant to support the 
corporate answering point from the comfort of their own home. When 
Teleworker is enabled, attendants simply login from their workstation-
-wherever it may be--to begin answering calls, making it the ideal 
solution for additional staffing to address peak hours and ensuring no 
calls are missed.
