Using the Call Handler
The Zenitel Cal Handler (IC-Edge) plugin can be used for two scenarios: initiating calls and reacting to inbound calls.
Initiating Calls
In XProtect Smart Client on the Zenitel Audio tab select a device you wish to call and click on the green "Call" button.
A popup window will be displayed showing the active call, along with a video preview from an associated camera.
Answering queued Calls
- When an inbound call is received, a popup window will be displayed showing the queued call, along with a video preview from an associated camera.
- To answer the call, the operator has to answer it using a physical device selected as the operator directory number.
- If there is an active call, the Call Handler will automatically hang up the active call and answer the inbound call.
- If there are multiple queued calls, they will be displayed in order of priority.
Using the Popup Window
- The popup window displays the active call (if it was initiated by the operator) or a list of queued calls, along with a video preview from an associated camera.
- The popup window will display the camera feed from the first associated camera of the active call (if present) or if there are no active calls, the first queued device-associated camera will be displayed.
- To manually switch the camera video feed to any active or queued device, select the desired device from the dropdown list in the popup window.
- To hang up the active call, click the red "Hang-Up" button.
- To answer a queued call, the operator has to answer it using a physical device selected as the operator directory number.
- If there are multiple queued calls, they will be displayed in order of priority. To answer a specific queued call, select it from the dropdown list in the popup window.
