9.1.2 ICD Group
One of the three distribution methods below can be assigned to each incoming call distribution group.
Distribution Method
Uniform Call Distribution (UCD)
Description
Calls are distributed evenly to a different extension each time a call is received. Extensions are hunted in a circular way in the preprogrammed order for the group, starting at the extension after the extension that received the last call.
Extn. | Extn. | Extn. | Extn. |
A | B | C | D |
Received | Starts searching from |
| |
the last call. | extn. B. (Skips extn. A.) |
|
Depending on system programming, calls can be directed to the longest idle extension. This is known as Automatic Call Distribution (ACD).

2.Call Waiting for Incoming Call Distribution Group (Group Call Waiting)
When there are no available extensions in an incoming call distribution group, the group members can receive the Call Waiting tone. To use this feature:
•Select the Group Call Waiting mode through system programming. This determines the distribution method for waiting calls.
•Member extensions must assign the Call Waiting mode individually, or they will not be notified. (→ 3.1.9 CALL WAITING FEATURES)
