Distribution MethodOne of the three distribution methods below can be assigned to each incoming call distribution group.Distribution Method DescriptionUniform Call Distribution(UCD)Calls are distributed evenly to a different extension each time a call isreceived. Extensions are hunted in a circular way in thepreprogrammed order for the group, starting at the extension after theextension that received the last call.Depending on system programming, calls can be directed to thelongest idle extension. This is known as Automatic Call Distribution(ACD).Priority Hunting An idle extension is searched for using the preprogrammed order forthe group.Ring All extensions in the group ring simultaneously.Delayed Ringing:Delayed ringing or no ringing can be programmed for each extensionin the group. The call can be answered by pressing the flashingbutton even if no ring or a delayed time is set.Extn.AStarts searching fromextn. B. (Skips extn.
