The calling group supervisor position is a Direct-Line Console (DLC) with
Extension Status assigned through system programming. The calling group
supervisor monitors and controls calling group activity by using the LEDs and
programmed buttons on the console or DSS.
The supervisor console should include the following programmed buttons:
■
For each calling group member, one button programmed with the
member’s extension on the telephone (inside Auto Dial) or optional DSS.
■
A Calls-in-Queue Alarm button (either on the console or on a DSS),
programmed with the calling group’s extension, for monitoring calls in
queue. A supervisor who manages more than one group needs a button for
each group.
NOTE:
In Release 5.0 and later systems, a DSS button used as a
Calls-in-Queue Alarm button only indicates two alarm threshold
