Q Manager

Q Manager is a Windows application that allows users to monitor and interact with calls. Your PBX must be on version 4.6.1 in order to use Q Manager, and 4.8.0+ to use the integrated chat feature. Licenses are sold to allow extensions access to the Q Manager feature.
NOTE: Currently QManager can only retrieve calls parked via the standard Park feature, not Directed Park.

NON-Windows PC Users / Web Manager
If you have a user that has MAC and/or not a Windows PC, Q Manager software will not run. To accommodate this, we have created something we call Web manager. To access, the user will still need to have a license assigned to their extension for Q Manager, but they will access a webpage instead of running a piece of software. The address for Web Manager would be <PBXipAddress>/ippbx/WebManager. The user will be prompted to login, the username will be their extension number, and the password will be their voicemail PIN. Web Manager does not have all of the advanced functionality of Q Manager, but you are able to left click on a call and do some actions.
NOTE: The URL is case sensitive.
- Pickup: Use this to grab a call that is ringing on an extension other than yours.
- Page: Use this to page another extension.
- Call: Use this to call another extension.
Idle extensions will show as Green, Ringing extensions will show as Light Green, and extensions on a call will show as Red.
Parked Calls will show on the right side of the screen, clicking a parked call will bring up an option to Pickup, which retrieves that call from park. (NOTE: Currently this will not work with Directed Park, only the standard park feature)
