A-35A AUTOMATIC ANSWER - ACD
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This feature gives an agent the ability to determine whether calls should be automatically connected to the headset
or handset, or manually answered after ringing. When in Automatic Answer mode, calls are announced using a spe-
cial tone signal called Zip Tone. All normal calls are preceded by a single burst of tone. Calls which may require
special handling (forwarded or overflow calls) are preceded by two bursts of tone.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
To set AUTOMATIC ANSWER from the Manual Answer mode:
1. The agent or supervisor presses the AUTO/MAN key.
2. The Dterm display shows AUTO ANSWER. The AUTO/MAN lamp lights steadily.
3. All subsequent calls are introduced by a Zip Tone at the agent's or supervisor's headset, and then the caller is
automatically on-line.
To set Manual Answer from the AUTOMATIC ANSWER mode:
The agent or supervisor presses the AUTO/MAN key.
1.
The Dterm display shows MANUAL ANSWER, and the AUTO/MAN lamp is extinguished.
2.
3. All subsequent calls are introduced by the normal ringing of the Dterm set.
SERVICE CONDITIONS
1. The AUTO/MAN key can be pressed at any time as long as the agent or supervisor is logged onto the ACD
system.
2. If the supervisor or agent is engaged in a call when the AUTO/MAN key is pressed, the answering mode change
will take effect upon the completion of the call in progress.
3. If the agent or supervisor is in the Auto mode and hears Zip Tone (introducing the next call), and presses the
AUTO/MAN key at that moment, the next call will not be answered until after the current call is completed.
Refer to "ZIP TONE-ACD [Z-1A]" for related information.
4. When the agent console is set for AUTOMATIC ANSWER, normal ACD calls are introduced by one burst of
tone (i.e., Zip Tone). Overflowed calls and calls which arrive at the agent position as a result of forwarding from
another split are announced by two bursts of tone.
5. AUTOMATIC ANSWER applies only to ACD calls. It does not apply to calls which terminate to an agent's or
supervisor's LINE key.
