ACD Hunt Groups Span Nodes

ACD Hunt Groups Span Nodes
There is a premium feature called Remote Automatic Call Distribution Hunt Groups. It allows
ACD hunt groups to span nodes. Node-spanning ACD hunt groups can have either members or
ACD Agent IDs.
• Members: ACD hunt group members may include off-node endpoints, off-node single
lines, and Hunt Group Member extension lists.
• ACD Agent IDs: Unlike members, there are no off-node Agent IDs. Agent IDs are
considered global throughout all nodes in which the Agent exists. This means that if
you create Agent ID 100 on one node, you must also create Agent ID 100 on all other
nodes that have an endpoint that a user may want to login to the hunt group using that
ID.
The Remote Automatic Call Distribution Hunt Groups premium feature must be included in
the software license where the hunt group resides as well as any node that wants to have users
login to the node-spanning hunt group. The ACD Hunt Groups premium feature is also
required. Because of this fact, there are several cases that must be considered. The following
table shows the different displays and results for logging in to and out of ACD hunt groups
with the different combinations of the premium feature and the ACD Hunt Group enabled/dis-
abled.

Database Programming
• ACD hunt groups have options allowing the addition of endpoint off-node devices, sin-
gle line off-node devices, and hunt group member extension lists containing local or
off-node endpoints or both.
• If the Remote Call Distribution Hunt Groups premium feature is not included in the
node’s software license, the off-node options will not appear in the list when program-
ming members for ACD hunt groups.
Operational Changes
• The Station Monitor feature remains limited to a single node. Members who are logged
in to a remote node or who are logged in to the supervisor’s node from a remote node
cannot be monitored.
• Hunt groups with remote members rely on network links among nodes. Node availabil-
ity affects hunt group log-in procedures as follows:
