Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) enables organizations to manage a large number of 
phone calls on an individual basis. ACD enables the use of the IP phones in a call-center 
role by automatically distributing incoming calls to available users, or agents. The ACD 
feature depends on support from a SIP server. 
Note 
After the IP phone user logs into the queue, the server monitors the phone status and 
then decides whether to assign an incoming call to the user’s IP phone. Whenever the IP 
phone user answers a call, or misses a call, the server automatically changes the phone 
status to unavailable. The IP phone will remain in this status until the IP phone user 
manually changes the phone status or the ACD auto available timer expires. When the 
timer expires, the phone status is automatically changed to available. The auto 
available timer feature depends on support from a SIP server. 
You need to configure an ACD key for the user to log in the ACD system. The ACD key 
LED on the IP phone indicates the ACD status.
