Using the ACD Feature on your IP Phone

The ACD feature allows you to login to a phone queue in order to receive distributed calls on your IP phone. To login to a phone queue, you must preconfigure an ACD key on your IP Phone as described in the previous procedure.

Your Administrator sets up the queue that you access when you press the ACD Key. Contact your System Administrator for more information.

When you press the ACD Key, the phone prompts you to enter a User ID and Password to login into the queue. Once logged in, you can make your phone “available” or “unavailable” to take calls by pressing the Available/Unavailable Key (2). The server monitors your IP phone status. When you set the IP phone to “available,” the server begins distributing calls to your phone. When you set the IP phone to “unavailable,” the server temporarily stops distributing calls to your phone.

The LED for the ACD Key shows the current status of your phone.
