Configuring Operational Features
Using the ACD Feature on your IP Phone 
The ACD feature allows you to login to a phone queue in order to receive 
distributed calls on your IP phone. To login to a phone queue, your system 
administrator must preconfigure an ACD softkey or programmable key on your 
Aastra IP phone. 
For models 9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 6757i, 6757i CT, the ACD softkey is labeled 
according to your network requirements. Check with your administrator to verify 
the label assigned to the ACD softkey on your IP phone. The label usually 
describes which phone queue you are accessing when you press the ACD softkey. 
For example, suppose the administrator wants to configure an ACD softkey to 
allow an IP phone user to log into the Customer Support phone queue. The 
administrator assigns the label “Support” to the softkey, so it is easily 
recognizable to the IP phone user. When the IP phone user wants to subscribe to 
the Customer Support queue, the user presses the Support key and can log in. 
Once logged in to the queue, you can make himself “available” or “unavailable” 
to take calls by pressing the Available/Unavailable key on the phone UI. The 
server monitors your IP phone status. When you set the IP phone to “available,” 
the server begins distributing calls to your phone. When you set the IP phone to 
“unavailable,” the server temporarily stops distributing calls to your phone. 
The icon that appears next to the ACD softkey or programmable key on the IP 
Phone UI reflects your current status. In the example shown below, the
 icon 
shows the current status of this IP phone user as “logged off.”
