Agent Mode	An agent logs into an Avaya communication server with a specific agent ID,
	which is associated with certain assigned skills and configuration settings. Do
	not confuse this with registering as an extension with the Avaya communication
	server as an agent must first register as an extension before logging in with an
	agent ID.
	Logging in as an agent enables the Agent toolbar in the main window.
Agent Skill	A centrally-defined attribute that is associated with an EAS ACD agent ID,
	which represents a certain ability or assignment for that agent. An agent can be
	assigned up to 20 skills. The meaning of each Agent Skill is customizable.
	Examples of what could be considered skills are: the ability to speak a
	particular language or the expertise to handle a certain product.
Agent work mode	A feature of agent call handling. Agent work modes are the different call work
	modes and call states an agent can be in (logins, logouts, After Call Work, AUX,
	and so forth). Data about these states is displayed in the history log.
Agent toolbar	A toolbar that provides buttons for agent login and logout and agent modes,
	such as Auto-In, Manual-In, and After Call Work.
Alternate	A feature of Avaya communication servers that notifies IP endpoints of all IP
