Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) Key (for Sylantro Call Managers)
The 6867i and any attached expansion modules support Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) for Sylantro call managers.
The ACD feature allows the Sylantro call manager to distribute calls from a queue to registered IP phone users (agents).
To use the ACD feature on an IP phone, you must first configure an
ACD
softkey or expansion module key. When you
want to subscribe to a queue (in order to receive incoming calls), you press the
ACD
softkey and the IP phone UI prompts
you to log in.
Available/Unavailable
is displayed indicating the current status of the IP phone (specifies if the IP phone user is availa-
ble/unavailable to receive a call from the queue).
Additionally, the
ACD
softkey indicates your current ACD status turning from red (logged out) to yellow (logged in but
unavailable) to green (logged in and available), and the corresponding LED also changes as per the table below:
When you are on an active call, or you miss a call, the server automatically changes the phone’s status to unavailable. The
server updates its database with this new information and no longer distributes calls to the phone. The phone remains in
this unavailable state until:
•
You make yourself available again by pressing the
Avail
softkey
•
An ACD timer expires (set by your System Administrator)
You can also choose to manually change the phone status to unavailable by pressing the
Unavail
softkey on the phone.
