Highlights:

Silent Monitor/Whisper/Barge-in for both Basic ACD Groups and Hunt/Call Groups
A built-in service to allow supervisor to listen into agent call and intervene if necessary on calls routed to an agent via a Hunt Group, ACD Group, or TAPI route point. Service is supported on both ACD Groups & Hunt/Call Groups, no license is required. Many competitors charge for this service, however, it is built-in with NBX. Feature supports 3 modes of operation:

Call Forward programmable via button, feature code, or LCD
Enables Call Forward All programming from multiple user interfaces, expanding and simplifying the user experience. Programming Options include:

Call Forward All
Redirects ALL calls temporarily to another internal/external number and overrides the default call coverage as well as any CF Ring No Answer and CF Busy settings that might be set. Use Case: Forward to Mobile phone or your home when teleworking for a day.

Call Forward No Answer
After a (configurable) number of rings, forward incoming calls to another phone number. User can set up to 2 call forward points that can be tried one after the other before routing to coverage. Use Case: set CFB to the front desk/secretary so caller gets a live answer.

Call Forward Busy
If all system access lines are in use, forward incoming calls to another phone number. Use Case: set CFB to the front desk/secretary so caller gets a live answer.

Call Timer – Display Length on LCD
Allows a user to see the time duration of an active call on the phone’s LCD. Format: HH:MM:SS-HH is for hours, MM for minutes and SS for seconds. Feature requires NBX phone LCD. (Demo tip: This feature is turned off by default and must be turned on in NetSet.)

Send Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) to phones
Allows another system user to light a button on a recipients phone to silently notify them. The recipient’s phone must have a dedicated button with LED and an LCD display. The system lights the LED (MWI Retrieve) and leaves a call back number on the recipient’s display. Behavior differs from voice mail: the telephone does not ring and there is no voice mail message. To retrieve, send, or cancel MWI messages, user accesses a programmable access button (MWI Send), feature code, or TAPI app.

Use Case 2: Attendant alerts user to FAX’s waiting at front desk

NBX Voicemail Enhancements in this Release
