[G-DN Button for Group Call Waiting]
Group Call Waiting works differently depending on the assigned Group Call Waiting Distribution
method, as follows:
a)
Ring: All busy extensions hear a call waiting tone simultaneously for the first incoming call,
even if they do not have a Group Directory Number (G-DN) button. Additional calls are placed
in the queue upon arrival.
b)
UCD/Priority Hunting: A call waiting tone is heard and an idle G-DN button flashes on an
agent's telephone, according to the group's distribution method (UCD or Priority Hunting). As
calls continue to arrive, they will be received on G-DN buttons until every G-DN button on
every agent's telephone is occupied, after which additional calls will be placed in the queue,
as shown in the figure below.
Note that if an extension's G-DN buttons for a certain group are completely occupied, the
Group Call Waiting for the group will not work at that extension.
3.
No Reply Redirection (UCD or Priority Hunting Method)
If a call received at an agent's extension is not answered within a preprogrammed time period (No
Answer time), the call will be redirected to the next agent according to the group's distribution method.
If there is no available agent, the call waits until one becomes available.
