Companies that receive a large volume of incoming calls can handle them quickly and easily with the
incoming calls bypass the operator and go directly to an answering pool of ACD Agents. From there,
calls are evenly distributed to individual Agents.
ACD Group Supervisor
As an ACD Group Supervisor, Toshiba recommends that you use a 20-button Toshiba proprietary
digital telephone with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) (see Figure 1). The LCD provides important
information about the ACD Group or an individual Agent’s activities.
The buttons on your Supervisor Telephone can be programmed to perform different tasks for you. For
example, Agent Status and/or Queue Status can be programmed for one-touch access using
Speed Dial (SD) buttons. When you use these buttons, the Agent and/or Queue Status is displayed on
the LCD.
Other features are assigned to the flexible buttons on your telephone; for example, Reset Queue
Alarm which signals you when too many calls are waiting in queue and Monitor ACD Call which
monitors Agents conversations on ACD calls.
A list of flexible ACD feature buttons is on Page 4. The button names are recommended by Toshiba.
If your ACD feature button names are different, see your telephone System Administrator for their
definitions.

Figure 1). The flexible buttons consist of Directory Number and ACD feature buttons. The number of
pre-programmed flexible buttons varies by telephone.
Fixed Buttons
The fixed buttons are located on your dial pad and enable you to perform standard functions quickly

Feature Interaction
Features
Feature Interaction
Strata CT provides the ACD features from system-resident software. Some station features are
changed when a station is activated as an ACD Agent or Supervisor. Standard station capabilities are
determined by your station class of service. You can still use the standard station buttons: Cnf/Trn,
Hold, Redial, Mic, Msg, and Spkr.
The features listed below are affected when your station is logged in as Supervisor:
o
Call Forwarding – Your primary and non-ACD [PhDNs] can set Call Forwarding. The Agent
assistance calls do not forward, but do ring at your station [PDN]. All other types of calls forward
from your [PDN] normally.
o
o
Message and Display – Soft Key labels and LCD messages unrelated to ACD do not display at
your station. All other types of messages do display.
Station Do Not Disturb – The Station DND feature can be activated when your station is an ACD
Supervisor station. DND applies to all calls directed to the [PDN]. Agent telephones must have
the DND Override feature to request assistance if your telephone is in the DND mode.
o
o
Executive Override – If an Agent is talking on an ACD or PBX call, executive override of ACD/
PBX calls is not allowed, but the Supervisor can call the Agent’s [PDN] or an idle [PhDN].
Agent Assistance – If you are busy, but one [PDN] is idle, your Agent can still ring you for
assistance. Up to four [PDNs] are available on a Supervisor station.
As a Supervisor you may want to receive ACD calls to assist agents during peak call load periods. To
do this your Supervisor telephone must have an assigned ACD Call button before it can function as
an Agent telephone.

Agent Assistance
Features
Agent Assistance
An Agent in your ACD Group can call you for assistance by pressing the ACD Help button on their
station. ACD Help rings the Supervisor’s [PDN] and takes priority over other ACD calls/functions
and, in some cases, the Agent can override your Do Not Disturb (DND) setting (if assigned in
programming). The ACD Help feature enables you to talk to the:
o
Agent with the ACD call on hold.
o
ACD caller with the Agent dropping out of the call by hanging up.
You can also participate in a three-way conversation with the Agent and the ACD caller when the
Agent presses Cnf/Trn after you answer the ACD Help call.
For this feature to work, your telephone must be logged in with the Supervisor ID code of the same
Group as the Agent requesting help.
➤ To assist an agent
➤ Press the flashing [PDN]. The [PDN] LED is on. Your LCD displays the
QUE# 000 SUP GP01

automatically placed on consultation-hold.
Notes

Your telephone can be equipped with up to four [PDN] buttons to accommodate ACD Help calls
while busy on another call.
G
If your telephone is in the DND mode when an Agent presses ACD Help, the Agent receives
DND busy tone. If the Agent’s telephone has been programmed to allow DND Override (system
option), the Agent can dial 2 to override your DND. Call Monitor cancels after answering an
ACD Help call.

If one of your telephone’s [PDNs] is busy on another call or in the monitor mode, the Help call
automatically busy-overrides an idle [PDN] and a mute ring sounds on your telephone.
If the Agent drops out of a three-way assistance call leaving the ACD caller and Supervisor
connected, the call is no longer tracked on ACD MIS reports.

not apply to Agent PBX or non-ACD calls.
A periodic tone and LCD message can be added to the Agent’s telephone to indicate that you are
monitoring the call. These options are provided by system programming.
Important! This feature is only intended for ACD Supervisors, so the Supervisor log in ID code
should be kept confidential to prevent unauthorised use of this and other Supervisor
features.
