CHAPTER 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1. INTRODUCTION
Management Information System (MIS) is software that enhances the Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) fea-
ture of the NEAX2000 IVS. The ACD-MIS software provides a cost-effective means of supervising incoming
telephone traffic and associated staff activity.
ACD-MIS permits incoming calls to terminate to a pre-arranged group of stations. Calls are distributed, in the
order of arrival, to idle terminals within the group, based on which terminal has been idle the longest. Stations
may log on/log off (with ID codes) from the ACD group. Supervisor stations may monitor agents’ conversa-
tions. The ACD-MIS system provides real-time statistical reporting, supplemented by readily accessible help
screens. ACD-MIS displays “Vacant” on logged off agent’s Dterm.
ACD-MIS runs on the UAP as an OAI application. It communicates with the PABX using an Open Applications
Interface (OAI) channel. ACD-MIS operates in conjunction with the “Log on, Log off, Break, and Work” fea-
tures of the associated PABX.
Users interact with the system using screen-based menus. Menus provide access to separate functions for system
configuration, system maintenance, reporting, and general administration.
This manual covers all ACD-MIS 5.x versions.
1.1 Service Conditions
1. A maximum of 16 ACD groups may be assigned per system.
2. Up to 60 stations may be programmed into a single ACD group. Up to the system limit of 60 ACD stations
may be programmed in the MIS PC.
3. Assignment of ACD groups is performed at the Maintenance Administration Terminal (MAT) or Customer
Administration Terminal (CAT).
4. ACD Hunt groups consist of a phantom pilot station (programmed in CM10) and one or more member sta-
tions. Hunting is initiated in a circular fashion, and based on which member has been idle the longest pe-
riod of time.
5. Agents must be assigned Prime Lines using CM93. Commands CM10, CM17, and CM93 must match with
agent’s Prime Line.
6. If all stations within the ACD group are busy, incoming calls may be serviced in the following ways:
• remain in queue until an agent becomes available (Ringback Tone provided)
• immediately overflow into another group, to a station, or to the Attendant
• remain in queue until an agent becomes available (Delay Announcement or music on hold provided)
• remain in queue for a preset time (Ringback Tone, Delay Announcement, or music on hold provided)
then overflow to another group, to a station, or to the Attendant
7. Any agent in an ACD group may go into Break/Work mode. When an agent has activated Break/Work,
any call targeted at the ACD group will by-pass that agent. Calls directed to the specific station number
will ring at the agent position.
CHAPTER 1 NDA-30094
Page 2
Revision 1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
8. Agents can log off their stations while idle, or while on an incoming outside call. If an agent is engaged in
an ACD call and presses the Logged On, Break or Work Key, the status field of the STATUS MONITOR
Screen will change from ACD Call to Logged Off, Break, or Work after the call is terminated.
9. When the pilot station has set Call Forwarding - All Calls, incoming calls to the ACD group will be trans-
ferred to the destination of that Call Forwarding - All Calls setting.
10. An ACD pilot number can be used as the destination station of Direct Inward Termination (DIT), or as a
designated Night Service station.
11. An ACD pilot number can be assigned as the destination station of Off-Hook Alarms, Priority Calls, and
Attendant Night Transfer.
12. ACD group pilot numbers must not be placed in Station Hunting groups. The Station Hunting feature
would take priority over the ACD function.
13. When a call has terminated to ACD group A, and all stations in group A are busy, and group B is assigned
as the overflow destination (using Call Forward-Busy), the call is transferred to group B. When all the sta-
tions are busy in group B, the call queues onto ACD group A.
14. One overflow group can be provided for each ACD group. Overflow to another group is accomplished by
setting Call Forwarding - Busy Line at the pilot station of the first ACD group.
15. When an ACD station becomes available, the caller is immediately connected to the station, even if the
recorded announcement is in progress.
16. Incoming call billing to the outside party starts when the first recorded announcement begins.
17. A PN-2DATA board is required to provide the recorded announcement.
18. A Delay Announcement service can be provided for DIT, DID, or a trunk call transferred by a station user
or the Attendant to a ACD Group. Internal calls or station-to-station transferred calls to the ACD Group
can go into the ACD queue but do not receive the Delay Announcement.
19. Incoming calls will hunt past an agent that failed to log off, if Call Forward - No Answer (to another ACD
number) has been set.
20. If ACD member has set Call Forwarding - Busy Line or Call Forwarding - All Calls, it is skipped in ACD
hunting. However, if the ACD member that has set Call Forwarding - Busy Line or Call Forwarding - All
Calls is called directly by another station, the Call Forwarding - Busy Line or Call Forwarding - All Calls
destination takes effect.
21. The destination for delay overflow may be set to any station or Attendant Console. If the destination for
delay overflow is an agent in the same ACD group, the call will stay in queue and hear the delay announce-
ment repeated until the call is answered.
22. When the destination of delay overflow is a busy station (which is not a pilot of another ACD group), the
incoming call will hear delay announcement for the programmed cycle. When the destination station be-
comes idle, the next cycle will provide overflow to the destination station.
23. If the destination station of delay overflow is in a hunt group, the hunt feature is followed.
24. If the destination station of delay overflow is set for Call Forwarding - Busy Line or Call Forwarding - All
Calls, the call forwarding feature will be followed.
25. If the destination station of delay overflow is set to Call Forwarding - Outside, the call will stay in the ACD
queue and hear the delay announcement repeated until the call is answered.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NDA-30094 CHAPTER 1

Revision 1
26. If the destination station of delay overflow is set to Do Not Disturb, the call will stay in the ACD queue and
hear the delay announcement repeated until the call is answered.
27. Second Delay Announcement service can be provided for DIT, DID, or a trunk call transferred by a station
user or the Attendant to an ACD Group, after the first Delay Announcement.
28. Priority Queuing is available for incoming trunk calls. The queue priorities are assigned on a trunk route
basis or per station number on DID call.
29. The maximum number of queuing in each ACD group (hereinafter called Queue Size) can be specified by
the system data. When the number of queuing calls reaches the pre-assigned queue size, new calls receive
Busy Tone. Depending on the queue size, the Overflowed ACD call indication on a Multiline Terminal or
on the external indicator is provided as shown by the information that follows:
Queue Size assigned by system data=S; Number of queuing calls=N
30. An incoming Listed Directory Number (LDN) received from Direct-Inward Dialing (DID) line can be dis-
played on the LCD of a Multiline Terminal in the ACD group. System data is assigned on a trunk route
basis.
31. A maximum of 90 ACD-MIS Log-On ID codes may be assigned per system.
32. Blank name will be shown on logged out agents and all statistic data will be cleared. When an agent has
completely logged in, the agent’s name will be shown in the name field. Other statistical values for that
agent will be displayed (version 4.11 - 4.42).
33. Agents can log on at any phone in their group. The program will keep track of their activity for the statistic.
34. When OAI is disconnected for any reason, all agents are automatically logged off. When OAI is reconnect-
ed, they have to log on again.
35. Chimes for the Dterm OAI keys can be programmed to be sent or not in PABX programming. Tones for
analog stations are set up using an edit program for file MIS.TON.
36. The pilot station of the ACD group must be programmed in MIS station configuration (analog non-
equipped).
37. There is a limitation of 100 max. incoming calls to an ACD group at one time.
38. MSF OAI keys for Log On with ID#, Break, and Work should be assigned to keys 1, 2, and 3, respectively,
of each Dterm set requiring MIS reporting.
39. Headset/handset button must be used in conjunction with an ADA adapter to switch the conversation be-
tween headset and handset.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
40. An agent on an outgoing call via the ACD line with MIS status set to available will stay available. The
ACD-MIS does not have an outgoing call status.
41. When using the Create Report function, with FD inserted into Drive A, specify the destination as File. The
report is saved as an ASCII file on the FD and can be imported into a spreadsheet program (e.g. Microsoft’s
Excel).
42. When using the Create Report function, specify the destination as Printer. A dot matrix or laser printer can
be used to print the designated report.
43. ACD-MIS displays “Vacant” on logged off agent’s Dterm.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Main Menu
ACD-MIS’s main menu includes six menu items, described below, plus submenus. Each menu item is de-
scribed in detail in the section referenced in brackets.
1 - Statistics Monitor Allows a general study of recorded statistics on received calls and their handling
by assigned agents. (See “Statistics Monitor” , Section 3.3.)
2 - Statistics Report Sets the structure of various reports, together with their output requirements for
printout or display. This is done using the items listed in the associated submenu.
(See “Statistics Report” , Section 3.4.)
3 - System Maintenance Through its submenu, provides functions for system administration and manage-
ment (including security passwords, two areas of alarm supervision, OAI control).
(See “System Maintenance” , Section 3.5.)
In addition, two menu items relate to set-up of the External Display Unit. (See “Ex-
ternal Display Unit (EDU)” , Section 3.2.)
4 - System Configuration Accesses procedures to program customer data during installation or when those
specifications need to be changed.
The associated submenu includes facilities for programming the customer's pre-
ferred name for the system, detailing different ACD groups and their assigned
agents, and setting basic parameters for the Statistics Monitor feature. (See “Sys-
tem Configuration” , Section 3.6.)
5 - Alarm Configuration From its submenu, provides for the setting of call handling operational limits on a
per-ACD group basis. If any limit is subsequently exceeded, visual warning indi-
cations are initiated to alert supervisory staff. The settings can be printed for ref-
erence. It also includes a facility for controlling the audible alarm associated with
the Statistics Monitor feature. (See “Alarm Configuration” , Section 3.7.)
6 - Exit Shuts down ACD-MIS (and returns to UNIX prompt) for maintenance purposes.
Its use must be restricted, because call data from the PABX cannot be processed
in this mode. (See “Exit” , Section 3.8.)

3. SYSTEM FEATURES
This document covers ACD-MIS functions. Information is presented in the order in which items appear on the
system menu.
3.1 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions are used in ACD-MIS’s statistical reports. Some terms apply to all statisti-
cal reports; others apply to selected statistics (i.e., for system, groups, or agents). Times are measured in minutes
and seconds (and displayed as mm:ss).
GOS % (GRADE OF SERVICE % - All Statistics):
GOS is the cumulative percentage of ACD calls that have been answered within a preset number of seconds
throughout the day (i.e., from midnight). The value is calculated by the formula:
Number of calls answered within the specified time limit (seconds) x 100%
Total number of answered calls for the day
AVG. TIME TALK (AVERAGE TIME TALKING - All Statistics):
The average time agents spend in conversation on ACD calls.
AVG. TIME ANSW (AVERAGE TIME ANSWER - All Statistics):
The average time taken to answer ACD calls. For system and group statistics, this value is measured from
the moment a call enters the queue. For agent statistics, this value is measured only from the moment an
agent is rung and therefore excludes time spent waiting in the queue.
WAITING LONG (WAITING LONGEST - System/Group Statistics):
Amount of time the longest waiting ACD call has been queued.
WAITING NO (WAITING NUMBER - System/Group Statistics):
The number of ACD calls currently in the queue.
NO. of CALLS IN (NUMBER OF CALLS IN - All Statistics):
The total number of ACD calls received since midnight, including those abandoned.
NO. of CALLS NWAIT (NUMBER OF CALLS NO WAITING - System/Group Statistics):
The total number of ACD calls to ring agents without first being queued, since midnight. This includes
any calls subsequently abandoned.
NO. of CALLS ANSW (NUMBER OF CALLS ANSWERED - All Statistics):
The total number of ACD calls answered since midnight.
NO. of CALLS ABD-Q (NUMBER OF CALLS ABANDONED QUEUE - System/Group Statistics):
The total number of ACD calls abandoned since midnight while waiting in the queue.
NO. of CALLS ABD-R (NUMBER OF CALLS ABANDONED RINGING - System/Group Statistics):
The total number of ACD calls abandoned since midnight while ringing an agent.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.2 External Display Unit (EDU)
ACD-MIS’s External Display Unit (EDU) consists of up to four (4) wall-mounted data display panels. The pan-
els are located within view of all on-duty agents. EDUs are used to indicate selected statistical information for
assigned ACD groups.
The External Display Units are totally controlled from the ACD-MIS. Their operation is related to the Statistics
Monitor feature, but is independent of the Statistics Report feature.
Operational features of EDUs include the following:
•The EDU connects to the ACD-MIS through a StarGate Multi-I/O board and an RS-232C interface port on
the PC terminal.
•Two choices of EDU are available: Dataline and Spectrum.
•EDUs can accommodate a maximum of 20 characters, each created from a 5-by-7-dot matrix of LEDs.
•The number of Calls Waiting will be in the range 0 to 99.
•Longest Waiting Calls are displayed in minutes and seconds (mm:ss) in the range 0 to 99:59.
•By programming system data (see “SYSTEM MAINTENANCE” , Section 6.), each EDU can display any
one of the three (3) formats shown in the examples below.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.3 Statistics Monitor
ACD-MIS’s Statistics Monitor mode displays all incoming call details and their handling by assigned agents for
a current 24-hour period. Records are initialized each day at midnight.
The Statistics Monitor function includes seven separate screens. Each screen is divided into two parts, which
contain dual sets of common real-time statistics reflecting the current and accumulated ACD activities.
Within each of the first four screens, the upper portion (titled System Statistics) contains information relevant
to total system performance. The lower portion (titled Group Statistics) registers the different ACD groups and
their individual values for the same statistics.
The remaining three screens have a similar divided-screen layout, but with Group Statistics in the upper portion
and Agent Statistics in the lower portion.
While viewing any System/Group Statistics display, the user can select a particular ACD group and change to
the first Group/Agent Statistics screen for that group.
Examples of Statistics Monitor screens are shown below and on the following pages.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.4 Statistics Report
This function lets you specify content of ACD-MIS statistical reports. (For agent-related reporting, only totals
are produced.)
The Statistics Report function also lets you specify a breakdown (by day, period, etc.), as summarized in Table
1-1:
ACD-MIS stores information for two separate maximum periods:
•For reports detailing hourly (or more regular) summaries of call statistics, the limit is 45 days. Thereafter,
records are deleted on a daily basis at midnight when a new file is created for the next day.
•For all daily summary reports, information is stored for up to two years. Thereafter, the records are deleted
on an annual basis.
Submenus associated with the Statistic Report function are listed below and described in other sections, as not-
ed. The first three submenu items are interrelated and must be accessed in the order listed to schedule printing
of records. The last item is independent and is used for immediate display or printing options.

3.4.5 Report Data
The ACD-MIS system includes the following reporting features:
•Reports can be individually specified in regard to type, application, and reporting period (see “Report Con-
figuration” , Section 3.4.1). They can be specified in relation to all or individual ACD groups.
•The statistics produced can be presented in one of several formats according to the selected break down
(such as hourly or daily). (See “Report Configuration” , Section 3.4.1.)
•Separately specified reports can be combined into groups to facilitate later printing (see “Report Group
Configuration” , Section 3.4.2). The typical application would be for reports which are common in nature
(e.g., all reports relating to the one ACD group).
•The assigned groups of reports can then be scheduled for automatic printing immediately or at regular in-
tervals (see “Scheduler” , Section 3.4.3).
•Any individual report can be prepared for immediate display or printout by a separate, independent func-
tion (see “Create Report” , Section 3.4.4).
•Call statistics are retained in the system for a maximum of either 45 days or 2 years.
Data is stored for 45 days for the following reports:
Calls Waiting Report
Calls Abandoned Report
Call Duration Report
Traffic Analysis Report
Data is stored for 2 years for the following reports:
Group Workload Report
Group Performance Report
Group Work and Break Report
Agent Demand Report
Agent Performance Report
Agent Work and Break Report
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The header information on a report (title, dates, ACD group or groups, etc.) is determined by the selections made
for report type, reporting period, and ACD group(s). The statistics columns differ for each report type. The for-
mat of the far left-hand column (Call Arrival/Group Number) varies according to the Breakdown parameter se-
lected. (Different Breakdown parameters are illustrated on the following pages.)

Total statistics are recorded for each preset time interval (Storage Interval) of the specified single date or full
reporting period.
In this application, the presence of asterisks for any one hour period indicates the segment has been set in at less
than 60 minutes (see Section 3.6.7 - Storage Intervals). The number of asterisks displayed is dependent on the
segment selected.
For example, in the diagram below, two (2) asterisks for 06:00 - 06:59 indicate a segment of 20 minutes; and
three (3) asterisks for 07:00 - 0759 indicate a segment of 15 minutes. Recorded statistics correspond to indi-
vidual periods, as shown below:

agents assigned to the ACD group, not only the number available or logged on,
generally calculated as:
Total value for the group
Total number of assigned agents
Report Total and
System Average: Report total is calculated by direct addition of the per-agent values. The system av-
erage is calculated with total number of agents in all groups.

3.5 System Maintenance
This menu option covers system administration (such as password control, system back-up, alarm setting, etc.).
This option includes eight submenus, which are described in the following sections:
“Password Maintenance” , Section 3.5.1
“ACD Alarms” , Section 3.5.2
“System Message” , Section 3.5.3
“OAI Connection” , Section 3.5.4
“EDU Port Selection” , Section 3.5.6
“External Display Format” , Section 3.5.7
3.5.1 Password Maintenance
The ACD-MIS system can accommodate a total of 12 passwords. Initially two are set in default data with the
following specifications:
•The first password (which corresponds to the Enter key) is set to considerably limit access to system fea-
tures. This status can be altered if required.
•The second password is programmed for fixed, unrestricted access to all features. The original name is
"mis" (in lowercase letters), which can be changed to one preferred by the user.
When setting the remaining passwords, limit each password to 10 alphabetical characters.
Thereafter, the existing structure of a password can be added to or modified, within the limitations mentioned.
During normal use of the system, white represents permitted access to certain features or services; an amber col-
or indicates that access is restricted.
3.5.2 ACD Alarms
ACD-MIS lets you set limits on various statistics parameters. These are described in “Alarm Configuration” ,
Section 3.7.
If any data is equal to or greater than a specified setting, the parameter will change color in the Statistics Monitor
display.
If the screen is not in display mode at the particular time, a warning message will display (at the top of the
screen) to indicate the affected area (system, group or agent statistics) and the alarm level (urgent or non-urgent).
If the longest waiting time statistic exceeds the maximum value, an audible alarm is given at a preset period.
All alarm occurrences are recorded to file that can be displayed or printed for a specified date.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.5.3 System Message
This function records all actions and fault occurrences (e.g., power interruptions, unauthorized interference) that
affect the normal operation of ACD-MIS. The current list can be displayed or printed. Events are presented in
reverse chronological order.
Appropriate on-screen messages are displayed to guide the user throughout the operations.
3.5.4 OAI Connection
This function controls the ACD-MIS communications channel connected with the PABX. Whenever it is se-
lected, one of two messages will appear to ask whether the opposite mode is/is not required.
The current status (on/off) is always displayed on the left-hand side of the amber banner at the top of the screen.
3.5.5 Configuration Data Backup
Entries for several areas of configuration data can be backed up to floppy disk.
The files copied refer to:
General System Configuration
Report Configuration and Scheduling
Alarm Thresholds
Agent ID Codes
The ACD-MIS menu is not used to activate backup procedure. See Section 6.5.1 on how to backup and reload
files.
3.5.6 EDU Port Selection
The External Display feature (see “External Display Unit (EDU)” , Section 3.2) can accommodate up to four
(4) data display panels, called External Display Units (EDUs). Each installed EDU is cabled to a separate port
on the StarGate multi-I/O board, which is connected to the PC terminal.
The Auxiliary Port Selection function simply assigns installed EDUs to Ports on the I/O board. (“None” is as-
signed if the particular I/O port is not used.) Either the Dataline or Spectrum EDUs may be used.
The display formats for the EDUs are individually selected through the External Display Format submenu (de-
scribed in the next section).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.6 System Configuration
ACD-MIS’s System Configuration menu item lets you set up or modify the following:
•System site name
•ACD groups and their assigned agents
•Various operational default parameters that affect the reporting functions
The System Configuration menu includes eight submenus, which are described in the following sections:
“System Name” , Section 3.6.1
“Group Configuration” , Section 3.6.2
“Station Configuration” , Section 3.6.3
“Agent Configuration” , Section 3.6.4
“ACD Key Configuration” , Section 3.6.5
“Report Time Values” , Section 3.6.6
“Storage Intervals” , Section 3.6.7
“System Date Format” , Section 3.6.8
3.6.1 System Name
This function lets you program the preferred site name that displays on all screens. The same site name is in-
cluded in the header information of report printouts.
Up to 40 characters can be specified for the selected name.
3.6.2 Group Configuration
This function lets you specify information about ACD groups. The ACD-MIS can accommodate up to 16 ACD
groups. For each group, the following details can be specified:
•The selected name for the customer
•The relevant indial prefix digits
•The pilot extension number
Name and indial prefix are identical to assignments within the PABX itself; there must be an exact correspon-
dence between the two systems.
Three different on-screen messages (New Group, In Use, and Not Used) indicate the status of each of the avail-
able groups.
3.6.3 Station Configuration
There can be a maximum of 60 extensions per MIS system, in any combination of 16 ACD groups. Several de-
tails can be assigned to identify each. Certain information (tenant number, telephone type, extension number,
etc.) duplicates PABX programming and must correspond exactly.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NDA-30094 CHAPTER 1
Page 51
Revision 1
The separate items entered for each station are:
•Extension number
•Tenant number
•Type of telephone instrument (digital or analog) provided for each agent position or the classification as
specified in the PABX in the case of a pilot number
•Associated ACD group number
Note: An assigned pilot extension does not appear on any screen displays or in any reports.
3.6.4 Agent Configuration
There can be a maximum of 90 agent ID codes per system, in any combination of 16 ACD groups. Several de-
tails are assigned to identify each. Agent information is programmed only in the ACD-MIS, not in the PABX.
The separate items entered for each agent are:
•Agent ID
•Name of the agent
•Initial of the agent
•Associated ACD group number
Note: The Agent ID is assigned to an ACD group and not to an ACD station.
3.6.5 ACD Key Configuration
This configures the required MSF number and the LED number for Log On/Off, Break, and Work. The MSF
and LED numbers must be the same as those entered in CM90 of system programming. These two parameters
are system parameters, so they cannot be different for each station.
CHAPTER 1 NDA-30094

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.6.6 Report Time Values
Report Time Values are time limits that are relevant to the Statistics Monitor mode (see “Statistics Monitor” ,
Section 3.3) and Report Data (see “Report Data” , Section 3.4.5). Their individual applications are summarized
in Table 1-3.
3.6.7 Storage Intervals
Storage Intervals are specified individual call recording periods within each hour of the day. Their application
is in the presentation of statistics for each of the following reports where the selected option for report break-
down is set to “By Period.”
•Calls Waiting Report
•Calls Abandon Report
•Call Duration Report
•Traffic Analysis Report
•Agent Demand Report
•Group Break and Work Report
•Agent Break and Work Report
Although initially set at one hour in the basic system data, storage intervals can be specified at more regular
intervals of 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes where required. Typically, storage interval settings are used to provide
more frequent analysis during peak traffic periods.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.7 Alarm Configuration
Several of the parameters appearing in the Statistics Monitor mode are associated with dual operational limits
which are programmed within Alarm Configuration as part of the overall administration of the system. If either
limit is equaled or exceeded, visual and audible indications will be given to warn supervisory staff, who can then
take appropriate action. Once the condition returns to normal, the alarm function is automatically cleared.
The separate alarm level indications are represented by a color change in the display of the particular statistical
value:
•White (normal)
•Amber (low: non-urgent)
•Red (high: urgent)
If the group or agent concerned is not currently displayed, a warning message will be given on the screen, to-
gether with an indication of the alarm level and the relevant statistics area.
An audible alarm is given at a specified period (i.e., when the longest waiting time exceeds the preset limit).
These conditions are also recorded in the ACD Alarm file.
The Alarm Configuration menu includes four submenus, which are described in the following sections:
“Group Statistics Threshold” , Section 3.7.1
“Agent Statistics Threshold” , Section 3.7.2
“Print Thresholds” , Section 3.7.3
“Audible Alarm Period” , Section 3.7.4
3.7.1 Group Statistics Threshold
This menu option lets you set low and high alarm limits for both system and ACD group parameters.
Preferred values are set for System and Group Statistics regarding:
GOS (Grade of Service)
Average Answer
Average Talk
Average Available
Calls Waiting
Longest Waiting Call
GOS (Grade of Service) is a percentage value related to ACD call-handling efficiency. The respective settings
for the two alarm limits are therefore assigned to correspond to a descending GOS, as in the example below:
GOS Target = 90 (%)
Low Alarm Setting = 70 (%)
High Alarm Setting = 50 (%)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NDA-30094 CHAPTER 1
Page 55
Revision 1
Average Answer, Average Talk, Average Available, and Longest Waiting Call (defined in Section 3.1) are di-
rect time measurements (in minutes and seconds) related to call handling. Their settings are specified in ascend-
ing order.
3.7.2 Agent Statistics Threshold
Similar limits are set for agent parameters. This includes the low and high alarms for Average Answer and Av-
erage Talk statistics on a per-ACD-group basis.
Direct time measurements (in minutes and seconds) related to call handling include the following: Average An-
swer, Average Talk, Average Available, Max Talk, Max Avail, Max O/G, and Max Logged Off. Their settings
are specified in ascending order.
3.7.3 Print Thresholds
A printout of the System/Group and Agent Statistic Threshold settings can be obtained at any time. This would
be most appropriate after initial configuration of the settings or when later adjustments are made.
The recorded details are presented on separate pages for the two areas and include an indication of the date and
time of the last modification.
3.7.4 Audible Alarm Period
A warning tone sounds whenever the value of the Waiting Longest parameter in the Statistics Monitor Mode -
System and Group Statistics exceeds the preset value for the high level threshold.
This tone is repeated every 5, 10, 20, 30, 60 or 90 seconds, depending on the period selected using this feature.
If preferred, the alarm can be disabled.
Any adjustment to the current setting takes effect immediately, even while a warning tone is being given.

4. MULTIPLE SUPERVISOR TERMINALS
4.1 General
One UAP Computer (See Figure 1-2) can supports multiple ACD-MIS applications and multiple users can login
into each ACD-MIS applications. Since the ACD-MIS user is an UNIX user, the user can connect via RS-232
link or by TCP/IP Ethernet. The terminal type is ANSI terminal.
The first user to log in is called the Master. The Master is allowed to use all the commands in the ACD-MIS
menu. Other users are called the Sub-Master. The general rule is that the Sub-Master cannot modify the ACD-
MIS database (System and Agent) and the Sub-Master cannot start/stop the ACD-MIS program. The Sub-Mas-
ter can monitor and print Statistics data.

2. SYSTEM HARDWARE SPECIFICATION
2.1 External Display Units
In an ACD environment, an end-user can indicate (to agents) the total number of calls, and the longest period
of time that calls have been in an ACD group queue waiting to be answered. With the ACD-MIS software, ex-
ternal display units/wallboards may be interfaced with the personal computer (which provided the MIS capabil-
ity).
This wallboard may be centrally located among the agents and can provide the call-waiting information. The
wallboard can provide information on up to seven ACD groups. Up to four wallboards may be interfaced with
the personal computer.
2.2 Required Equipment
In order to provide wallboard capabilities, two items are required in addition to the NEAX2000 IVS system and
the ACD-MIS personal computer:
•A wallboard
•A driver board, which is installed into the personal computer. The board provides multiple RS-232 asyn-
cronous communications channels. Reccomended board is DIGI PC/X (from DIGI International Inc, 6400
Flying Cloud Dr., Eden Prairie, MN 55344, (800) 344-4273 (612)943-9020). Only one drive board is re-

CHAPTER 3 OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
The system supervises incoming telephone traffic to assigned ACD groups and activities of the associated agent
(answering) positions using a wide range of statistical reports. These functions operate in conjunction with the
Log On/Off feature within the associated PABX.
This chapter covers initial configuration of the group(s) and agents, report parameters, and alarm indications, as
well as the instructions for day-to-day operation.
1.1 To Log On at an ACD Station
Multiline:
(1) Press the Log On/Off Key.
(2) Enter the ID when prompted (“Enter ID” will be displayed) followed by #.
(3) If a valid ID is entered, the LED for that key will be steadily green and message "LOGON" is displayed on
the DtermIII momentarily. If an invalid ID or an ID that is already in use is entered, a message stating “In-
valid ID” or “ID In Use” will display.
Analog:
(1) Lift the handset and receive the extension dial tone.
(2) Dial Log On/Off Access code.
(3) Dial the ID followed by #.
(4) If tone has been activated, you will receive tone; otherwise you will receive a reorder tone.
1.2 To Log Off at an ACD Station
Multiline:
(1) Press the Log On/Off key. LED on key will go out., and message "VACANT" is displayed on the DtermIII
momentarily.
(2) If an agent presses the Log On/Off key during a conversation, status will change to log off after the agent
hangs up.
Analog:
(1) Lift the handset and receive the extension dial tone.
(2) Dial Log On/Off Access code. If tones have been activated, you will receive tone back; otherwise you will
receive a reorder tone.
(3) To dial Log On/Off code during a conversation, the agent has to hook flash, dial the access code, and hook
flash again to return to the conversation.
Note: For a detailed users guide, see Appendix A
CHAPTER 3 NDA-30094

OPERATING PROCEDURES
1.3 To Set Break
Multiline:
(1) Agent presses the Break key; the LED flashes slowly and message "BREAK" is displayed on the DtermIII
momentarily.
(2) If the agent presses the Break key during a conversation, the status will change to Break after hangup.
Analog:
(1) Lift the handset and receive dial tone.
(2) Dial Break code.
(3) To dial the Break code during conversation, the agent has to hook flash, dial the code, and hook flash again
to return to the conversation.
1.4 To Cancel Break
Multiline:
•The agent presses the Break key; the LED goes out.
Analog:
•The agent dials the Break code.
1.5 To Set Work
•Use the same operating procedure as Break.
1.6 To Cancel Work
•Use the same operating procedure as Break.
1.7 To Monitor Conversation / To Cancel Monitoring
(1) Lift the handset or depress SPKR, and receive the extension dial tone.
(2) Dial the monitor feature access code, or press the MONITOR key.
(3) Dial the extension number to be monitored.
(4) Monitor the conversation via handset or speaker.
(5) When the monitored station goes on hook and receives a second call, pressing the MONITOR key re-es-
tablishes the Monitor Feature.
Note: Monitoring telephone conversations may be illegal under certain circumstances and laws. Consult a legal
advisor before implementing the monitoring of telephone conversations. Some federal and state laws require
a party monitoring a telephone conversation to use beep tone(s), to notify all parties to the telephone conver-
sation, and/or obtain consent from all parties to the telephone conversation. Some of these laws provide strict
penalties for illegal monitoring of telephone conversations.

On the right side, the current date and time display. These have been set during installation and should not re-
quire adjustment except for time changes.
The bottom line (red banner) is normally blank. The left-hand part displays system information (error codes) or
warning messages. Error codes are only of interest to the service technician; but warning messages may display
if you have overlooked something concerning the printer or floppy disk drive.
A warning message will overwrite any currently displayed error code and will be accompanied by a standard
request for your response (in the right-hand part). A typical example is:
Printer not on line: Retry (Y/N)?
Other available messages are listed below:
Messages related to the printer:
Printer out of paper
Printer cable disconnected
Printer unknown error
Messages related to the disk drive:
Floppy Disk protected
Floppy Drive not ready
Floppy Disk faulty
Floppy Disk unformatted
Floppy Drive problem: . . . .

2.3 Passwords
Access to each area of ACD-MIS operation can be controlled by passwords, which are preset at installation or
specified by the user to suit individual requirements. The following basic facts apply:
•Accessible menu items appear in white; those that are restricted are amber color.
•You can use the preset password (mis in lowercase letters) to access to all items without restriction. If you
wish, you can assign a different name later.
•A menu item indicated as restricted can be accessed if you enter the appropriate password. (When the item
is selected, the message Enter Password displays.)
Note: Programming of passwords is described in “Passwords” , Section 6.1.
2.4 Moving Through the Menus
After an appropriate password has been entered, the Main Menu of six items (described in Chapter 1) is dis-
played. The cursor will be positioned at Item 1 - Statistics Monitor.
You can identify individual items on any menu by scrolling the cursor. A brief summary of the functions of
each will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Any allowed feature can be directly selected by pressing the appropriate digit key. Otherwise, press the Enter
key once the cursor is located at a required item.

3. STATISTICS MONITORING
The Statistics Monitor mode involves a total of seven separate screen displays, each of which is divided into two
portions. The first four screens present combined System and Group Statistics. The remaining three screens
present Group and Agent Statistics. In either case, the last screen also includes specific system details (e.g.,
ACD group indial numbers, agent names, etc.).
By simple key operations it is possible to scroll forward and in reverse through the various System/Group and
Group/Agent screens. From any System and Group Statistics display you can select a particular ACD group
and change to its first associated Group and Agent Statistics screen.
Step 1. From the Main Menu, press 1.
The first Statistics Monitor screen displays. The information within the upper window (System Sta-
tistics) refers to the total system. The lower window (Group Statistics) registers the assigned ACD
groups together with their individual values for the same statistics. Note the cursor position at the
first group. From here you can transfer to several alternative displays.
Step 2. Press F3. The right-hand side only of the screen will change to display a different set of common
System and Group Statistics.
Step 3. Press F3 again. The right-hand side will now display the third and last set of common System and
Group Statistics.
Step 4. Press F3 again. The right-hand side will now display only the indial numbers for the respective
ACD groups.
Step 5. If F3 is pressed again, the display reverts to the original screen.
Alternatively, by repetitive pressing of F4 you can scroll in reverse through all previous screens.
Step 6. While viewing any of these screens, move the cursor bar to a required ACD group and press
ENTER. The display will change to that first set of common Group and Agent Statistics for the
group.
Step 7. Press F3 again. Only the lower right-hand side will change to display a different set of Agent Sta-
tistics.
Step 8. Press F3 again. The lower window right hand side will now display details of the individual agents
(i.e., group and tenant numbers, etc.).
Step 9. If F3 is pressed again, the display will revert to the original screen. Alternatively, by repetitive
pressing of F4 you can scroll in reverse through the previous two screens.
Step 10. Press ENTER to return to the original System/Group screen.
Step 11. If required, move the cursor to another group and repeat the above from Step 6.

4. STATISTICS REPORTING
This function enables printing or display of statistical records as a range of seven ACD-group-related reports
and one agent-related report.
In general, ACD-MIS stores information for two separate maximum periods:
•For reports with detailed hourly (or more regular) summaries of call statistics, the limit is 45 days. There-
after, records are deleted daily at midnight, with a new file created for the next day.
•For all daily summary reports, information is stored for up to two years. Thereafter, the records are deleted
on an annual basis.
The information presented for the ACD group-related reports can be broken down by one of several options ac-
cording to period, date, day of the week, etc. However, for the agent-related report, only totals are produced.
(See Table 3-2 below.)
From the Main Menu, press 2. The REPORT submenu displays.
The first three items in the REPORT submenu are interrelated and are associated only with the scheduled print-
ing of summary reports. In the initial setting up of any requirements, they must be applied in the order listed.
They can be accessed freely for modification to or deletion of specifications.
Item 1 - Report Configuration - Structure individual reports
Item 2 - Report Group Configuration - Specify sets of related reports
Item 3 - Scheduler - Specify printing arrangements
Item 4 - Create Report - (for immediate display or printing of reports) is
independent of the others and can be selected at any time.

5. STATISTICS REGISTERED IN SPECIFIC CASES
Certain operations within ACD-MIS have a bearing on specific values recorded in the Statistics Monitor mode,
as well as in various reports.
5.1 Conditions of Agent Log-Off
In calculating the Average Time - Available statistic, ACD-MIS in part counts the number of times agents log
off. The totals are incremented only when agents do so while in the AVAILABLE status (i.e., not while engaged
on an ACD or non-ACD call).
5.2 Call Transfer Before Answer
If an ACD call transferred from one agent to another is not answered and as a result is redirected to the original
party, the call will be regarded as a new non-ACD call.
5.3 Multi-Group ACD Systems
In many installations the ACD-MIS will be associated with more than one ACD group in the connected PABX.
The statistics registered will reflect particular call-handling practices as described in the following cases.
5.3.1 Inter-Group Call Pick-Up
Where calls to one ACD group are picked up by agents in another, the values for calls received (i.e., in/offered)
and answered will be adjusted.
For example, a single call to Agent A (in Group A), which is picked up by Agent B (in Group B) will be recorded
as shown in Table 3-5.
5.3.2 Inter-Group Call Forwarding
Where calls are forwarded from one ACD group to agents in another group (either unconditionally, on busy or
no answer), the relevant values for calls received (i.e., in/offered), abandoned and answered for both groups will
represent that action.

CHAPTER 3 NDA-30094
Page 104
Revision 1
OPERATING PROCEDURES
For example, if a call arrives at Agent A (in Group A) and is forwarded to Agent B (in Group B), it will be re-
corded as shown in Table 3-6.
5.3.3 Inter-Group Overflow
The use of Delay Announcement with Overflow, after the calling party has been in queue, will cause an abandon
on the first group (A) and an incoming call on the second group (B).
5.3.4 Combined Effect on Total Statistics
A continuing sequence of such call-handling procedures in a multi-group ACD produces statistics which require
examination from an overall point of view.
As a simplified example, combination of the above two situations would result in values within the Statistics
Monitor - System/Group Statistics, as summarized in Table 3-8.
