ACD System Configuration

When the call number of an agent is configured on multiple terminals a new ACD
call is only allocated if all terminals are free. ACD calls are treated similarly to VIP
calls. If call forwarding and/or call protection is configured on a terminal of an ACD
agent, these settings are ignored when there is an incoming ACD call.
Name
: Enter the name of the agent (20 digits max.). This name is displayed on the
supervisor's terminal and should be as short as possible. If you do not enter a
name, the name from the user configuration will be used automatically.
Group
: This picklist contains the ACD groups configured. Select the group from
the list that you wish to assign to the agent. You can assign an agent to multiple
groups. You have to create multiple entries in this case (one entry per group, e.g.
Agent 1 – Group 1, Agent 1 – Group 2).
The two following settings are only available with an “Aastra ACD Advanced 100”
licence.
Priority
: Agents can be sorted according to priority. A priority 2 agent only has
ACD calls allocated when all priority 1 agents are busy. The number of priorities is
not limited. Enter the desired priority here.

: You can configure a call threshold in the call queue for an agent. The
agent only gets ACD calls allocated when this number of waiting callers is
exceeded. Enter the desired number here.
