ABSTRACT:
The operator station comprises a series of manual controls on a keyboard for handling calls, some of which are provided with a visual LED indicator, and an alpha-numeric display (53) for the items of information necessary to the operator for handling calls. The operator station further comprises a voice synthesizer (100) for messages corresponding to the above-mentioned items of information, which is activated by the controls of the operator station to permit a blind operator to operate the exchange. The keyboard comprises two additional keys for respectively controlling the emission of a message relating to the status of the exchange and repetition of the message relating to the last key actuated by the operator. The operator station further comprises two manual adjusting members (108 and 106) respectively for the speed of the synthesizer and for the volume of the voice message. Another adjusting member (85) provides for regulating the control voltage of the display to define the optimum angle of display for a sighted operator. The display is also variably inclinable on the cover of the operator station, which also incorporates a paper tape printer for printing the data in respect of telephone connections and the changes relating thereto.
