Hotline for ACD Agents
Description
Hotline gives a multiline terminal user One-button Calling and Transfer to another extension (the
Hotline partner). Hotline helps co-workers that work closely together. The Hotline partners can call or
transfer calls to each other just by pressing a single key.
Enhanced for ACD applications, Hotline provides a unique Busy Lamp Field (BLF) for ACD agents as
well as a BLF for co-workers that are not ACD agents. The charts below show both sets of BLF
indications.
