30Chapter 5 Initializing the CallPilot Mini/CallPilot 150

Configuring the Meridian 1 PBX to work with CallPilot Mini

The Meridian 1 PBX uses an ACD Queue to route calls to the CallPilot Mini.

An ACD Queue is a feature that distributes calls to available ACD Agents. For the ACD Queue used with CallPilot Mini, the Directory Number (DN) of the ACD Queue is the Voicemail DN and the CallPilot Mini ports are the ACD Agents. When a user dials the Voicemail DN, the ACD Queue routes the call to the an available CallPilot Mini port.

To add an ACD Queue:

1Determine the Terminal Numbers (TN) used to connect to the CallPilot Mini. You can have a maximum of eight TNs used for the CallPilot Mini.

Note: Four of the TNs represent the physical lines that are connected to the CallPilot Mini. The other four TNs are the data channels of the upper TNs (TNs 16-32) that correspond the lower TNs (TNs 0-15) assigned to the CallPilot Mini.

For example, if you assign TN 4 0, TN 4 3, TN 4 5, TN 4 9 to the lines connected to the CallPilot Mini, then you must also assign TN 4 16, TN 4 19, TN 4 21 and TN 4 25 to CallPilot Mini.

2Create an ACD Queue for the CallPilot Mini.

Alternately, you can use the pre-assigned Meridian Mail ACD Queue. If you to use the Meridian Mail ACD Queue, delete any default ACD Agents assigned to the ACD Queue. For information about how to create an ACD Queue, refer to “Creating an ACD Queue” on page 30.

3Assign the Terminal Numbers determined in step 1 as ACD Agents for the CallPilot Mini ACD Queue. Make sure you assign all of the Terminal Numbers that are connected to the CallPilot Mini.

For information about how to assign Agents to the ACD Queue, refer to “Assigning ACD Agents” on page 32.

Creating an ACD Queue

All of the steps below are performed on the Meridian 1 PBX using a terminal connection.

1At the main prompt type, LD 23. The following messages appear: ACD000
