Restart ACD Idle Time Upon Login Flag
The Restart ACD Idle Time Upon Login flag determines where an agent is placed in a longest idle queue when he or she logs back in to a hunt group. When enabled, the agent’s idle time is reset to zero whenever he or she logs in (i.e., that agent will be least likely to receive the next distributed call). If disabled, the agent’s idle time includes the time the agent was logged out of the hunt group (i.e., that agent will be most likely to receive the next distributed call). By default, this flag is disabled.
This flag is programmable for each individual hunt group.
ACD Agent Wrap-Up Timer
Each time an agent ends an ACD hunt group call, the station goes into “wrap-up” mode, and the ACD Wrap-Up Duration timer is started. Until that timer expires, the agent will not receive another call through any ACD hunt group. (However, the agent can receive non-ACD hunt group calls, direct ring-in calls, and transfers.)
The range of the ACD Wrap-Up Duration timer is 1 to 65535 seconds. The default value is 15 seconds. It is programmed individually for each ACD hunt group.
If an agent wishes to terminate the wrap-up mode before the timer expires, he or she can use the following procedure.
TO TERMINATE ACD AGENT WRAP-UP:
While on or off hook (single-line users must lift the handset), enter the ACD Wrap-Up Terminate feature code (329). The display shows ACD WRAP-UP TERMINATED. (If
you were not logged in to an ACD hunt group, the display shows CANNOT ACCESS
RESERVED FEATURE.)
Wrap-Up Mode for Holding ACD Calls
There is a system flag called “Wrap-Up Mode For Holding ACD Calls.” If enabled, it places an ACD agent’s station in wrap-up mode when an ACD call is placed on hold. (However, the ACD Wrap-Up Duration timer is not activated.) This prevents the agent from receiving addi- tional ACD hunt group calls after he or she places an ACD call on hold while the station is idle. (The station can still receive non-ACD calls, as usual.) If the flag is disabled, the agent will be available to receive additional ACD calls as soon as an ACD call is placed on hold. In the default state, this flag is disabled.
This flag applies to any type of hold, including individual, system, transfer, and conference- wait hold. If the call is terminated or if it is reverse transferred by another station, the ACD agent’s station will be made available to receive incoming ACD calls.
If the agent wishes to terminate the wrap-up mode while an ACD call is on hold, he or she can use the procedure described in the previous section.
ACD Agent ID Automatic Connect Flag
When the ACD Agent ID flag is enabled, and the agent is using a headset, ACD hunt group calls will automatically be connected following a short ring burst. (This feature will not work if the agent is not using a headset.)
When the ACD agent logs in or removes the station from Do-Not-Disturb mode, the first call will ring until the ACD agent answers it. However, every time an ACD hunt group call is received after the first call, the agent will hear the ring burst in the headset and the call will be automatically connected.

Group Call Pick-Up
When the Group Call Pick-Up feature is enabled, a call ringing in to a hunt group or one of its stations can be picked up at any other station. Users can enter the Reverse Transfer feature code (4) and dial a hunt group’s pilot number to pick up a call that is ringing in to the hunt group’s pilot number or to any station within that hunt group.
The system follows the priority list shown below to determine which call is picked up. The system follows the hunt group list (always beginning with the first station on the list) to check each station in the hunt group and then the overflow station for one type of call at a time. If there is more than one call of the same type at the selected station, the call that was received by the station first is picked up. Holding calls and queue callbacks cannot be picked up.
1. Calls to the hunt group pilot number 2. CO calls
a. Direct ring-in calls b. Transferred calls c. Recalls
d. Camped-on calls 3. IC calls
a. Direct ring-in calls b. Transferred calls c. Recalls
d. Camped-on calls
NOTE: Group Call Pick-up can only retrieve calls from stations that are currently logged in to the hunt group. You cannot use this feature to pick up calls from members who have logged out using the Hunt Group Remove feature code. Also, Group Call Pick-up cannot be used on ACD Hunt Groups that use Agent IDs. It can only be used on hunt groups that use lists of extensions. If the ACD Hunt Group flag is enabled, the Group Call Pick-up flag will be dimmed.
To pick up a call that is ringing at a hunt group:
1. Lift the handset, and/or enter the Reverse Transfer feature code (4). You hear a single progress tone.
2. Dial the pilot number of the hunt group where the call is ringing.
Inter-Tel Phones: If the system is programmed for direct connection of reverse trans- ferred calls, you are immediately connected. If not, press the flashing CALL, individ- ual trunk, or button.
Single-Line Sets: You are automatically connected. IC
