Prompt-Based Overflow 0
System managers can activate the Prompt-Based Overflow option. This option
allows callers waiting in queue and listening to a delay announcement to press the
# key in order to reach the overflow receiver for the group, which may be the QCC
queue or another calling group (including a calling group assigned for a voice mail
system).
All three overflow distribution options—based on the number of calls, the time a
caller has waited, and according to the caller’s prompt—may be used at one time.
In this case, time-based and number-of-calls based options take precedence over
overflow distribution based on the caller’s prompt.
When prompt-based overflow distribution is used, an extra TTR must be provided
for each delay announcement device assigned to the associated calling group.
The delay announcement informs the caller of the # key option to exit the queue
and leave rather than waiting for an agent. If no TTR is available when a calling
group call arrives, the call is not sent to a delay announcement extension.
Centrex Transfer via Remote Call Forwarding 0
Centrex Transfer via Remote Call Forwarding can be used in all system modes of
operation to send outside calls to a remote telephone number or another Centrex
station. In this context, the term
outside
refers to calls that arrive on an analog
Centrex loop-start line at the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System.
An outside call that uses this feature is defined as a call that arrives on an analog
Centrex loop-start line at the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System. It may
arrive directly or be transferred without consultation or without transfer supervision
(in the case of an automated attendant). The forwarding call to the outside
number is made on the same line/trunk on which the call arrived, conserving
system facilities. Refer to “Centrex Operation” on page 129
for details on
applicable considerations and rules.
Activating Centrex Transfer via Remote Call Forwarding is just like activating
regular Remote Call Forwarding and requires that Remote Call Forwarding be
enabled for the extension. However, the user dials
instead of a dial-out code,
and a Pause character may be required after the
. The Centrex service provider
determines whether the Pause is needed.
Pause cannot be originated from a single-line telephone or a remote access user.
A multiline telephone user in the local system must enter an authorization code to
activate the feature.
A remote access user may activate the feature without using an authorization
code. Barrier code requirements do apply, however.
