Handling Busy Station Calls Differently Than Calls Not Answered; Routing Calls To Workgroups - Toshiba Strata CS User Manual

Handling busy station calls differently than calls not answered

You can optionally specify two final actions—one for situations when your station is busy, one
for situations when each action rings and goes unanswered. This allows you to handle calls
differently when you're on a call vs. when you're away from your phone(s). For example, you
can have a special greeting that plays when you're on a call, that says, "I'm on the phone right
now, please leave a message."
To use this feature, check

Note:
Strata CS can detect a routing list action as "busy" only when it is a Strata CS station.
External numbers and workgroups cannot trigger the "busy" final action.
Using "Final action if the station is busy" and "Camp on station"
When you specify a
from a normal final action. As soon as the routing list encounters a busy station, the final action
triggers, skipping any subsequent actions. For example, if you have one action that tries your
office station and a second that tries your cell phone, with
set to "Take a message," and a call comes in while your station is busy, the call is sent to your
voicemail without trying your cell phone.
The "Camp on station" final action is available only as a
With "Camp on station," your incoming calls are placed on hold until your station is no longer
busy, then they ring the station. While callers are on hold, by default they hear the special
prerecorded "System camp on greeting," which says, "The person you have attempted to reach
is on the phone. To hold for your party, remain on the line. Otherwise, to leave a message, press
1. To end this call, press 2." The prompt repeats every 60 seconds. While holding, the caller can
press 1 to go to your voicemail or 2 to disconnect the call. You can also specify your own custom
greeting, in which you can choose whether or not to announce the caller options.
Note:
If while you are on the phone you receive an incoming call on an available line appearance
(for example, with call waiting or on a digital phone PDN), the call goes to the "Final action if the
station is busy" after the ring duration expires for your phone.

Routing calls to workgroups

A routing list action can send a call to a group of people by using the action
The first person in the workgroup to answer the call is connected to the caller. Strata CS system
administrators must use this option to set up ACD workgroups.
When a routing list calls a workgroup, the only numbers called are Strata CS users' "Where I
Am" locations (internal or external stations or call forwarding numbers) and contacts' default
numbers. Auto attendants, queues and IVR Plug-ins in the workgroup are ignored and not called.
