ACD Agent IDs
There is a new ACD hunt group option that allows the
useof Agent ID numbers in place of station extensions
in the hunt group list.
NOTE: For optimum system performance, there
should not be more than 1000 Agent IDs in any hunt
group and no more than 2000 Agent ID entries in all
hunt groups combined.
ACD hunt group members are referred to as “agents.”
Agents log in to the ACD hunt group to receive calls
andlog out to halt ACD hunt group calls. An ACD hunt
group can now be programmed to circulate calls to
agents in two ways:
•AgentIDs: If the huntgroup is programmed to use
ACD AgentIDs, each agent is assigned an Agent
IDnumber to ente r during the login procedure (de-
scribed below).The hunt group calls are routed to
loggedin agents, according to their Agent ID num-
ber insteadof their station extension. Because the
Agent IDis not associated with any stationexten-
sion,the agent can use any station in the system to
log in and does not have to use the same station
every time.
•Members:If the hunt group is not programmed to
useAgent IDs, it will have a listof stations and will
send calls to the stations where agents are logged
in.
There can be up to 1000 Agent IDs in the system.
ACD Agent IDs can be included in Extension Lists.
This allows several ACD Agents to receive a call at
once.
The ACD Hunt Groups premium feature mustbe en-
abled for this feature to be used.
When a call camps on to an ACD hunt group that uses
Agent IDs, only the agents currently logged in to the
hunt group will receive camp-on indications.
ACDhunt group supervisors will receive visual camp-
on displaysif they are programmed as members of the
huntgroup and have the ACD Agent Logout feature en-
abled.
ACD Agent Login Changes
Withthe addition of the ACD Agent ID feature, the log
in and log out procedures changed. They are described
on page 4–18 in the manual. (The log out procedure
using the code described on page 4–19 of the manual
did not change.)
Thereare two feature code stha t can be used forlogging
in to the ACD hunt groups:
•ACD Agent Login: This performs only the log-
ging in operation.
•ACD Agent Login/Logout: This is a toggle fea-
ture code that logs the station in or out of all
associated ACD hunt groups at once.
If the ACD Login/Logout feature code is programmed
ina user-programmable key with a lamp, the lamp will
be lit when the agent is logged in to any ACD hunt
group, and unlit when the agent is logged out of all
ACD hunt groups.
The new procedures are as follows:
