CONDITIONS FOR
ASSIGNING ALERTS
ASSIGNING EXTERNAL
ALERTS TO LINE
BUTTONS
Generally, assigning alerts to line button numbers is the first step in
administering alerts. An exception may have an alert assigned only under the
following conditions:
A line button number must be assigned to the alert number being used
and it can only be assigned through CMS Administration (CMS is not
managing calls).
The external alert itself must be assigned to a line button number before it
can be assigned to an exception.
The alert number can be assigned to an exception while CMS is managing
calls. However, the actual external alert cannot be assigned a line number
while CMS is managing calls; that can only be done during
administration.
The appropriate exception setting parameters to which the alert(s) will be
assigned has been entered in the "SPLITS" and "LINE GROUPS" screen
fields.
The exception threshold is set.
If you need more information on administering exceptions, see "Administer
Exceptions" under the heading, "Instructions for Selecting Exceptions," earlier
in this section.

an exception.

hyphens), press
