Introduction
The Tone Commander 1030 and 1560 are answering consoles for use in receptionist or departmental
attendant positions, with Centrex or PABX systems. Line keys are provided for LDN (listed directory
number) terminations or call processing loops. Stations may be monitored for status. Autodialing is
available for each station. Autodialing is normally used to dial the station number associated with the DSS
(Direct Station Select) key, but spare DSS keys may optionally dial outside lines or special access codes.
Features include hold and transfer, single button call answer, line privacy, delayed ringing, night service,
station status display, station name display, music on hold, and a digital clock. Console parameters may be
programmed by the installer for different system configurations.
A configuration programming mode is used by the installer to set console parameters as required by the
telephone system. The attendant may program name displays, autodial numbers, ring delays, and the
time-of-day clock. Switches can be set to prevent accidental programming changes.
The system includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) in the equipment room. Two consoles may be
connected to a single CPU.
Two console/CPU models are available: the 10 line/30 station 1030, and the 15 line/60 station 1560. A
5-line expansion circuit board and a 30-station expansion circuit board may be installed in a 1030 CPU to
increase line and station capacity to that of a 1560 CPU. All expanded systems require the 1560 console;
there is no method to expand the capacity of a 1030 console.
Please refer to the System Description section for detailed descriptions of all 1030/1560 features.
NOTE – A special version for Lusent 5ESS International switches is available. The minor differences in
system programming are explained in this manual.
