The delivery of calls controls the distribution strategy, so that either the agent with the lowest total time (based on ACD calls) or with the longest „Free time" is selected as destination. Logged Out? The agent is unavailable for call processing. Free The agent is logged in and can answer a call. Called The agent receives a call. Busy The agent performs a phone call. Wrap up The agent has ended his ACD call and receives no more call within the set wrap up timel. Break The agent is logged, but has the pause is activated and does not receive another call. OpenCTI 50 Agents can log in and out in (several) ACD groups. If an agent is logged in callers will be transferred, if he is free. When his line busy, the wrap-up time (after an ACD call) is not expired or he enabled pause, no new calls will be delivered to him. Agents who do not use a system phone may track their status in OpenCTI 50. To greet callers individually, depending on the number dialled, the agent receives the name of the called ACD group in the display of his system phone. Further he gets the information how many callers are waiting in the queue and how long the next caller has been waiting. In addition to handle the application on the phone there is a comfortable agent control in OpenCTI 50 so it is possible to use not only system phones but also analogue terminals, DECT phones or FMC subscribers. Within an ACD group the allocation of agents can be controlled also by assigning priorities (agents with priority n +1 only get calls when no agent with priority n is free) and thresholds (agents are added when the queue has reached a certain level). In the folder „Aastra ACD Agent" the ACD groups are displayed to the agent, where he is currently assigned as an agent with the selected phone. Per group, he sees the following information:

Agents
The numbers of the employees registered as agents in an ACD
group are the focal points of the ACD. The delivery of calls con-
trols the distribution strategy, so that either the agent with the
lowest total time (based on ACD calls) or with the longest „Free
time“ is selected as destination.
Agents can log in and out in (several) ACD groups. If an agent
is logged in callers will be transferred, if he is free. When his line
busy, the wrap-up time (after an ACD call) is not expired or he
enabled pause, no new calls will be delivered to him.
To greet callers individually, depending on the number dialled,
the agent receives the name of the called ACD group in the dis-
play of his system phone. Further he gets the information how
many callers are waiting in the queue and how long the next
caller has been waiting.
In addition to handle the application on the phone there is a
comfortable agent control in OpenCTI 50 so it is possible to
use not only system phones but also analogue terminals, DECT
phones or FMC subscribers.
Within an ACD group the allocation of agents can be controlled
also by assigning priorities (agents with priority n +1 only get
calls when no agent with priority n is free) and thresholds
(agents are added when the queue has reached a certain level).
