11. Refer to the order from your customer to configure the Call Center and Agent settings.
NOTE: In this example, the Call Center is set to a Queue Length of 50 calls, has video support enabled, rings when offering a call and allows callers to dial “0” to leave the queue. For the Agent settings, the Call Center allows agents to join Call Centers and automatically sets the agent’s state to “Wrap-Up” after a call has ended. Make sure to refer to your customer’s order to determine which Call Center settings they prefer for this section.
12. Click OK.
13. Assign an address to the Call Center by clicking Addresses in the Basic section of the Profile.
13. Assign a phone number from the Phone Number drop down menu.

25. Choose a file from your computer and click OK.

27. Select Routing Policies from the left menu of the Profile.
28. Set routing policies for Bounced Calls, Overflow and Stranded Calls from this menu.
Bounced Call – A call is being offered to an agent, but they do not answer.
Overflow – What happens to a caller when there are too many calls in the queue or they have been in the queue for too long.
Stranded Call – Calls that are in the Call Center when all agents are signed out.
You have now created and configured a Call Center.
