9.1.2 ICD Group Features—Group Call Distribution

One of the three distribution methods below can be assigned to each incoming call distribution group.

Distribution Method

Uniform Call Distribution (UCD)

Description

Calls are distributed evenly to a different extension each time a call is received. Extensions are hunted in a circular way in the preprogrammed order for the group, starting at the extension after the extension that received the last call.

Extn.	Extn.	Extn.	Extn.
A	B	C	D
Received	Starts searching from
the last call.	extn. B. (Skips extn. A.)

Depending on system programming, calls can be directed to the longest idle extension. This is known as Automatic Call Distribution (ACD).

Priority Hunting	An idle extension is searched for using the preprogrammed order for the
	group.
	1st Priority		2nd Priority	3rd Priority	...Priority
			Extn.	Extn.	Extn.
		Extn.
		A	B	C	X

Always searches beginning with the first extension assigned to the group.

Ring	All extensions in the group ring simultaneously.
	Delayed Ringing:
	Delayed ringing or no ringing can be programmed for each extension in
	the group. The call can be answered by pressing the flashing button even
	if no ring or a delayed time is set.
	Extn.	Extn.	Extn.		Extn.

				specified time delay.

2.Call Waiting for Incoming Call Distribution Group (Group Call Waiting)

When there are no available extensions in an incoming call distribution group, the group members can receive the Call Waiting tone. To use this feature:

•Select the Group Call Waiting mode through system programming. This determines the distribution method for waiting calls.

•Member extensions must assign the Call Waiting mode individually, or they will not be notified. (→ 3.1.9 CALL WAITING FEATURES)
