If You Are an IT Manager...



If you are an IT manager you may have to customize the Telebroad Pbxellent system to the requirements of the office users, phone agents, and call center administrators. Here is an overview of available Telebroad resources to get you started.


Phone Provisioning

The Telebroad system is completely cloud-based and can run with your existing PCs or mobile devices. However, some users especially call centers agents, prefer to work with a physical IP phone

Before an agent can use his IP phone it must be provisioned set up with the agent's account details and some network definition so the PBX server can identify it.

Provisioning guidelines for some of the phones we support are available here


Basic Phone Operation

After phones are provisioned you may need to instruct agents and users on basic operations. You can refer them to the following user guides for common phone functions and operations. Our system features dial codes allow for quick execution of certain phone functions.

ACD Panel for call center administrators



The primary software tool for call center administrators is Telebroad's ACD panel.


ACD stands for Automatic Call Distribution. The ACD panel helps administrators control, manage and analyze the activity and performance of a call center. It automatically distributes calls to various queues according to specific criteria and rules which are designated to maximize the efficiency of call placement and overflow.


The ACD Panel includes powerful tools for generating historical reports and live overviews of any active call flows. The user-friendly interface is designed for handling calls in real time with easy drag-and-drop functionality. Customized alerts address select call scenarios and ensure the administrator is always on top of the daily operation of the call center.


See detailed user guides and FAQ for the ACD Panel here.


Analytics for call center or simple phone system administration



Telebroad's Analytics is a collection of tools and web interfaces that provide statistical and advanced reports.


Analytics also includes an administration feature for a simple phone system. It has a control panel for all the active and holding calls where calls can be assigned or recorded. A listen-in feature helps with training and supervision.


Statistical measurements are kept for call traffic, users' activity, and group loads. A detailed log of calls, with audio recordings, is also maintained for administration purposes.
