Features
Group Calling
An overflow call that is sent to the QCC queue does not normally return to the
calling group, even if the call is not answered. If all QCCs have Position Busy
active, the calls from the calling group do not overflow but continue to wait in the
calling group queue. If all QCC operators activate Position Busy while an overflow
call is in the QCC queue, the call can be rerouted to the original calling group.
Calling Group Type
The Group Type setting determines whether or not the system automatically logs
in members of a calling group following a power failure. The setting also
determines the type of VMI when the calling group is used to connect voice
messaging systems or automated attendant applications.
The following settings are available:
Auto Logout. This setting is used to specify that the system does not
automatically log in calling group members after a power failure. When the
Group Type is set to Auto Logout (the factory setting) and a call sent to a
calling group member is not answered within 30 seconds (5 rings), the call
is sent either to another member or to the front of the queue if no calling
group member is available.
Auto Login. This setting is for calling groups used for fax machines or data
(also called data hunt groups ) to specify that the system automatically log
in calling group members following a power failure. Auto Login can be set
for calling groups where members answer telephones.
Integrated VMI. This setting is used when a voice messaging system (such
as AUDIX Voice Power, MERLIN LEGEND Mail, or MERLIN MAIL) that
requires special signaling for integrated operation is connected to one or
more extension jacks assigned to a calling group. The system
automatically logs in the calling group members after a power failure.
Generic VMI. This setting is used when a voice messaging system (such
as Lucent Technologies Attendant or Integrated Voice Power Automated
Attendant) that does not require special signaling is connected to one or
more extension jacks assigned to a calling group. The system
automatically logs in the calling group members after a power failure.
In Release 4.2 and later systems, SMDR can be programmed to provide more
detailed information about calls to Auto Login or Auto Logout calling groups. For
details, see
NOTE:
For Release 6.1 systems and later (Hybrid/PBX mode only), a MERLIN
LEGEND system directly connected by a PRI tandem trunk or tie trunk to
another MERLIN LEGEND system can use the voice messaging system
(VMS) of that MERLIN LEGEND system (see "Centralized Voice
Messaging" for more details). However, external alerts and Music On Hold
sources work only for the system where they reside.
