1 Without Customer Controlled Routing (CCR), one or more services map to an
ACD DN. With CCR, one or more services map to an ACD CDN.

skill group; otherwise, it maps to a hunt gro up.
3 One network trunk group and one associated trunk group are defined for each
DMS-100 ACD.
4 A CallCenter instrument can be a trunk, a teleset, or a workstation.
5 The CallCenter maps a trunk group and DNIS to a Call Control Table (CCT).

uses the VDN extension for other calls. A DNIS can refer to either a VDN
extension or hunt group extension.
