The ACD Remote Agent Subgroups form is only available with Networked ACD and can be used to program priority and agent blocking.
Note: A remote agent subgroup's ID number and name and access number may be programmed in Telephone Directory. This name will be displayed in the ACD Remote Agent Subgroups form. Any call processing feature, such as Phonebook searching, that requires the display of the remote agent subgroup's ID number and name, will use this programmed telephone directory entry.
Use this form when performing the following tasks:

Remote Agent Blocking Timer |
An optional, programmable field in the range of 5 to 60 seconds.
