72 DEFINITY ECS Console Operations
Using Visually Impaired Attendant Service
Your console provides 8 buttons for voiced feedback of console functions for
visually-impaired console-operators. Table 8 lists the 8 buttons and their function:
NOTE:
This feature requires at least one speech synthesizer circuit pack to be
installed into a system port carrier, since you can perform VIAS capabilities
with speech synthesis messages that system users voice to you.
Example
Pat is taking a leave of absence from Widgets, Inc. Her replacement, Lindsey
Buller, is visually impaired. Kelly Ratliffe, system manager, programs her console
with VIAS, and acquaints her with the location of each VIAS button. Lindsey
must ensure that she activates the VIAS feature each day. A call comes in for
president Randy Foxworthy and unfortunately, Lindsey forgets who just called.
Lindsey simply presses the
LAST VOICED MESSAGE button to find out who just
called.
