Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)—Attendant
Attendant Release Loop (ARL) feature is disabled on attendant-extended calls to voice
terminals with coverage path assigned where the coverage criteria applies to the call.
When ACD is the coverage point and the attendant does not release a call within 4 seconds,
the attendant is connected to an idle agent position (with the proper connect message). The
call will not queue to the split if all positions are busy. Attendant Call Waiting will wait on the
supervisor position (position 0). If the attendant releases a call within 4 seconds, the call is
placed in queue.
An attendant may be designated as a system supervisor. The system supervisor can
activate/deactivate Call Forwarding on the console for any split (group) of ACD agents.
