ACD agent operation

(Not available on 12-Key Feature Phone.)
Important: You are being assigned a special feature not explained in the regular station User's Guide or
tutorial. Be sure to get your ACD department number from the system administrator.

An ACD department is made up of agents who, when logged on, can receive calls for that department.
Calls go to the logged-on agent who has been idle for the longest time. If all logged-on agents are busy,
the ESI phone system places the calls in a holding queue and automatically connects the longest-
holding call when an agent becomes available. While holding, callers hear periodic prompts to continue
to hold. As an ACD department agent, you must have one of your phone's programmable feature keys
programmed as an agent log-on/off key
assigned. This key lets you manually place yourself in or out of service for that department's calls.
Notes: It is possible to be logged into two departments at once. Consult your Installer or System Administrator
to confirm whether this is available on your particular ESI system.
If no agents are logged on, incoming calls immediately follow that department's call-forwarding routing.
