Queued Call Console (QCC)
Message Center Operation
3
7
The Message Center Operation setting is useful for sending these types of calls to
a specific QCC. Message Center operation designates one or more QCC
positions to function as message centers to receive the following types of calls:
■
QCC operator returning calls (returning transferred, parked, held, and
camped-on calls)
■
Group Coverage calls
■
Calls to unassigned (invalid) extensions received on DID or dial-in tie
trunks or made by remote access users
The factory setting is that no message center position is assigned and that
returning calls are returned to the originating operator position (the initiator),
which, by definition, is a QCC queue when the system has QCCs. Group
Coverage calls are not programmed to ring at any specific QCC operator position.
When a message center is programmed, these calls are directed to the message
center position. The QCC queue can be programmed so that other QCC operator
positions can receive Group Coverage calls, calls to unassigned extensions, and
returning calls. If the factory setting remains unchanged—so that returning calls
are sent to the originating operator position—then message center operation
sends those calls to the programmed message center instead. If, however, this
factory setting is changed—so that calls are sent to the QCC queue—returning
calls are sent to either the QCC queue or the programmed message center.
A QCC operator position programmed as a message center position also can
receive other call types by assigning the position as a QCC operator to receive the
call types.
Position Busy Backup

7
The Position Busy Backup option designates a calling group to receive calls when
all QCCs are in a position-busy state. Only calling groups can be designated as
QCC position-busy backups. If no calling group is assigned to provide
position-busy backup, the system does not allow the last QCC operator to use
Position Busy. The Position Busy Backup option is programmed for the QCC
queue rather than for individual operator positions. Only one position busy backup
can be programmed.
Operator Hold Timer
3
7
The Operator Hold Timer option specifies the length of time(10–255 seconds) that
must elapse before an operator is reminded (with an abbreviated ring) that a call
is on hold. The factory setting for this interval is 60 seconds. The operator hold
timer can be set for both DLCs and QCCs. It cannot be programmed for individual
operator positions. If another call is received at the same time that the hold timer
expires, 10 seconds are added to the programmed operator hold timer interval.
