Once the headset or handset is removed, incoming calls are directed to other 

consoles in the customer group or to alternate answering positions, if configured.

aunch your PC-based Console software application and 

activate the Busy/Idle key.
The PCCIU status LED will light steadily when call processing may begin.

Your PC-based Console software application must support the Busy/Idle key 

functionality.

If the PC power fails, switch the PFT switch at the back of the PCCIU from 1 (On) to 0 (Off). 
This places the PCCIU in Position Busy status.

Once the PCCIU is in Position Busy status, incoming calls are directed to other 

consoles in the customer group or to alternate answering positions, if configured. 

When the PC regains power, switch the PFT to 1 (On) and exit the Night/Busy position 
through the PC-based Console software application. 
Alternately, you can remove the console from service by unplugging the headset or handset 
from the PCCIU. See
