Routing Functions for Incoming Calls
Routing an Outside Call
Incoming calls are routed to the operator console(s) either directly or via a user
group a call distribution element.
On an Aastra 5380/5380ip or Office 45 operator console the calls are provided on
the line keys. If all the line keys are busy, other calls will be sorted into the call
queue.
On an Aastra 1560 / Office 1560 the calls are entered in the external call queue. To
answer the call the operator selects it directly from the call queue displayed on the
graphic interface.
The operator can tell who the callers are from the call queue and can answer any of
the call; the queue sequence does not have to be respected.
