Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) Key (for Sylantro Call Managers)
The 6865i supports Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) for Sylantro call managers. The ACD feature allows the Sylantro call
manager to distribute calls from a queue to registered IP phone users (agents).
To use the ACD feature on an IP phone, you must first configure an
ACD
key. When you want to subscribe to a queue (in
order to receive incoming calls), you press the
ACD
key and the IP phone UI prompts you to log in. An
Avail
key displays
allowing you to make your phone available to accept these calls.
When you are on an active call, or you miss a call, the server automatically changes the phone’s status to unavailable. The
server updates its database with this new information and no longer distributes calls to the phone. The phone remains in
this unavailable state until:
•
You make yourself available again by pressing the
Avail
key
•
An ACD timer expires (set by your System Administrator).
You can also choose to manually change the phone status to unavailable by pressing the
Unavail
key on the phone.
The ACD key LED changes when you log into the phone queue and are available to take calls. The LED changes again
when you are busy with an active call. The table below shows the status of the LED as they may appear on your IP phone.
