Do Not Disturb; Call Forward No Answer; Hunt Groups; Automatic Answer - Nortel BCM50 Administration Manual

Do Not Disturb

Instead of using Do Not Disturb, agents must use the Not Ready Feature Code (≤·‚°).
If agents use Do Not Disturb they are automatically logged out or made not ready after the first
call.

Call Forward No Answer

When an agent's phone is on Call Forward No Answer to the voicemail extension, the number of
rings for Call Forward No Answer must be less than the number of rings for Transfer Callback
Timeout. If a call is forwarded by CFNA to another agent and is answered by that agent, the
original agent who has CFNA setting is made Not Ready or logged out instead of staying idle.
Preventing calls from ringing at an agent's set
To prevent agents who are on a Call Center call from having a second internal call ring on their
phone, set the Call Forward on Busy feature for your set to the voicemail DN.
For information on programming any of these settings, refer to the Norstar System Coordinator
Guide if you use another system.

Hunt groups

Do not program an agent telephone to be a member of a Hunt Group.

Automatic Answer

How Automatic Answer works depends on what type of telephones your call center uses:
• Norstar telephones: If you use a headset, calls ring at the telephone and the headset, but calls
go to the headset.
• Business Series Terminals: If you connect the headset before you connect the telephone
cable to the phone jack, calls goes to the handsfree speaker. If you plug in the telephone before
you connect the headset, calls go to the headset as long as you have initialized the headset by
pressing the headset button and then the release button. Calls always ring at the set. Every time
you reconnect the headset you must initialize the headset. Calls always ring at the set.
• T7316e: This type of telephone is safe to use for Automatic Answer.

Silent Monitor

If agents answer calls using features like Answer DN or Call Pickup on a set they are not logged
onto, you cannot monitor these calls. You can do monitoring for wireless sets (including
Companion, KIRK and DECT sets), only if the agent logs onto the set.
