R-145A RING DELAY - ACD
R-145A RING DELAY - ACD
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This feature is programmed in a Call Control Vector (ACDCCV) using the Ring Delay step followed by a parameter
of from 1 to 15 seconds. Once a call has traversed a Ring Delay step then the ring delay feature will be applied to
that call when it ultimately connects to an agent.
The effect of the Ring Delay feature on a call is that once an agent has been selected to receive this call there will
be a delay in connection of up to 15 seconds. This delay is intentionally inserted to provide a window during which
a host computer could paint information on the agent’s screen which is pertinent to the call. The Host Computer is
allowed to shorten the Ring Delay cycle by sending an appropriate Infolink command to the ACD. This message
(IHx) will cause the call to immediately ring through to the agent’s position.
SERVICE CONDITIONS
1. The accuracy of the timing on the Ring Delay feature is +/- 2 seconds.
2. For a Ring Delay step in a CCV to be effective it must appear before the Queue To (Queue Assign or Conditional
Queue Assign) step, otherwise the Ring Delay step may not be reached if calls ring in and go directly to a wait-
ing agent.
3. When the agent position is turned into the Work Mode or Break Mode while on Ring Delay step, the position
goes in Work Mode or Break Mode after the communication ends as in the manner that the position presses the
WORK/BREAK key while handling the ACD call (The ACD call is terminated to the position after Ring Delay
step as normal processing).
4. When the call is distributed to execute more than one Ring Delay step, Ring Delay step which is programmed
the longest time will be executed.
5. While RING DELAY is executed, the MIS displays “READY”. The call abandoned during Ring Delay step is
counted as “Abandoned Call before Announcement”, “Abandoned Call after the First Announcement”, or
“Abandoned Call after the Second Announcement” in the static report.
