Call Management System

The two CMS interface card ports on the PC must be connected to two analog multiline telephone jacks on the same analog multiline telephone module; these jacks must be operator positions. If two operator position jacks are not available on the same module, another analog multiline telephone module must be installed in the control unit to provide these jacks.

CMS trunks can be loop-start, ground-start, T1-emulated ground-start, or Primary Rate Interface (PRI).

Up to four CMS external alerts can be used for agents and supervisors. For example, an alert sounds if the number of calls waiting to be answered nears a programmed threshold.

Lucent Technologies Attendant* can be used to direct callers to the appropriate CMS group.

To play music for waiting callers, you must attach a Music On Hold (MOH) product that is compatible with an MOH coupler.
