Extension detail can also be added to inform the Attendant of information such as; caller ID name and number, DNIS/DID, line used, call duration plus much more.

Color is used extensively to allow the Attendant to quickly identify both line and extension status. Calls on Hold, Ringing and Parked calls are all quick and easy to distinguish between. Extension buttons also change color depending upon their condition including; Idle , Active, Do Not Disturb, Ringing, Message Notification and Out of Service

Integration is the KeyEven before answering a call, Console.NET presents information pertaining to the caller to assist the Attendant in directing the call to the appropriate person or group.

Console.NET includes a built-in database to store your customer and contact information along with the ability to integrate to external databases such as Oracle or SQL Server. .NET technology makes this integration possible.

Integrated SecurityEach Attendant or person logging into Console.NET has a unique user profile assigned to them which dictates what they can do and see. For example, one person may be able to view particular lines and extensions while another person sees a different group of lines and extensions. Administrators have access to Configuration which includes, the ability to add and remove users, change passwords and add/configure networked phone systems.

Multilingual SupportConsole.NET supports English, Canadian French, Italian, German and Spanish with additional languages being added in the future.

Advanced FeaturesConsole.NET provides the ability to send a text message to the display of a Nortel telephone to notify a busy employee of a call.

"Sticky Notes" is a feature that allows the Attendant to attach a new or pre-defined message to a call. This assists an Attendant when having to go back to a caller who has been Parked or placed on Hold.

"Message Notification" provides a method for an Attendant to place a text message on an extension button to be better informed of the status of an employee. For example, if an employee is sick, the Attendant can put the message "Sick today" on their extension button.
