- Call Delivery -
Outside calls designated to ring at a QCC are
sent to a single common QCC queue, where
they wait to be sent to the first available QCC
operator. When a QCC operator is available to
receive a call, the system removes a call from
the queue and sends it to an idle Call button.
If more than one QCC operator is available, the
operator who has been idle the longest
receives the call.
The order in which calls are delivered to the
QCC operator is determined by system
programming. See your system manager if
callers complain about slow response times.
Both inside and outside calls ring on Call
buttons on the QCC. The QCC receives one
call at a time, regardless of the number of calls
in the QCC queue. When a call rings on a Call
button, information about the incoming call is
shown on the display.
