Agent Features
AN ACD system distributes incoming calls evenly to all agents that are
logged into the system. Agents are divided into groups working under the
guidance of a supervisor. As an agent, you are responsible for answering
calls that have been directed to your ACD group and presented at your posi-
tion.
This part of the guide explains how to:
- log in and out of the ACD system - answer ACD calls - put calls on hold -
call your supervisor - use the Line of Business feature - deal with an emer-
gency call - use the Not Ready key for post-call processing - display the
queue threshold.

them.
If your installation uses passwords, you will hear special dial tone again
and you should key your 4-digit password. Your supervisor will tell you
if a password is required. The digits of your password will not be dis-
played as you key them.
After successful entry of a log-in ID (and password, if required) the In
Calls and Make Busy indicators go out, the display clears, and the Not
Ready indicator comes on.

Line of Business key
This optional feature allows a Line of Business (LOB) code to be entered for
each call that you answer. These codes will be predefined for your system
and will allow tracking of such items as the number of calls of a specific
type and the holding times for these calls. Up to three LOB codes may be
entered for each ACD call. Your supervisor will tell you if this feature is
used at your site.
To enter an LOB code while active on an ACD call press

hang up, the call will be disconnected.
If your supervisor happens to be active on another emergency call, your
request will either be routed to the first available supervisor or disallowed,
depending on the way your ACD system has been configured. If your call is
disallowed the Emergency indicator will not come on. Your supervisor will
tell you which way your system has been configured.

Displaying the queue threshold
It is sometimes useful to know how many calls are waiting to be answered

Display Queue Threshold feature provides this information. Your supervisor
will tell you if the feature is available at your site.
To view information about calls waiting to be answered press
