ACD login ID dialing

Last Updated : Aug 27, 2019 |

The ACD login IDs used in EAS are extension numbers that are included in a station numbering plan but not administered as stations. The IDs are administered on the Agent Login ID screen as shown in the following example. If EAS-PHD is set to n, you can administer only four skills.

      WARNING:  Agent must log in again before skill changes take effect

With EAS, an agent login ID is associated with a specific phone only when the agent actually logs in at that phone. When the agent logs off, the association of the agent login ID with a specific phone is removed. If an agent does not answer a call or if the agent is logged out, the call goes to the busy points on the coverage path.

When the agent logs in, the phone display indicates the skill assignments of the agent.

The agent logs in by:

  • Going off-hook or selecting a line appearance.

  • Entering the login FAC or selecting the login AD button after the dial tone.

  • Entering a 1-digit to 16-digit login ID after the dial tone.

    Note:

    If someone is already logged in at that phone, the agent hears an intercept tone.

  • Entering the 0-digit to 9-digit password after the dial tone. This is optional.

Note:

If the agent uses a DCP phone, such as a CallMaster®, the password digits are not shown unless an abbreviated dial button is used. BRI phones show the password digits.

Once the login is accepted, confirmation tone is given. The skills that are assigned are displayed for five seconds on the phone display. If more skills are assigned than can be displayed, a plus (+) sign appears at the end of the display. If a skill is administered, but the agent was not logged in to the skill, the skill number is displayed with an asterisk (*). The previous login sequence allows an ACD call to be directed to a specific agent and to have that call tracked and treated as an ACD call.

When an EAS agent logs in to a station with the station administered for audible message waiting, the agent receives an Audible Message Waiting tone only when calls are waiting for the agent login ID extension. When the agent logs out, Audible Message Waiting tone then applies again to messages that are waiting for the physical extension. This field has no impact on whether an agent hears the EAS Login-ID Message Waiting tone during the login process.

The message waiting lamp by default tracks the status of messages that are waiting for the logged in EAS agent Login ID rather than messages for the physical telephone. The operation of the Message Waiting Lamp can be changed so that it tracks the status of messages that are waiting for the physical phone where the agent is logged in.
