Built-in Small Call Center Features

Extensions can form an incoming call distribution (ICD) group and be used as a small call center which can
take advantage of several features, some of which are highlighted below.
Queuing
When all available extensions in an ICD group are busy, additional calls can be placed in a queue as they
arrive. While calls are waiting in the queue, callers can hear background music (BGM), an outgoing
message (OGM), etc.

Log-in/Log-out
Members of an ICD group can log-in to or log-out of a group manually. Group members can log-in at the

allotted a specified amount of time after completing a call during which new calls will not be received by
their extensions, allowing them to finish any necessary paperwork before being eligible to receive new calls
