Features

CCMA Password Policy configuration for human and


programmatic accounts
From Release 7.1 Feature Pack 2, Contact Center provides the ability to configure CCMA
Password Policy. Password Policy is a set of rules that CCMA uses to validate passwords for
CCMA accounts. You can select one of the CCMA Password Policy modes: Basic Security mode
and Advanced Security mode. You can either use default Basic Security mode with fixed password
rules, or enable Advanced Security mode, which allows you to customize your Password Policy for
human and programmatic accounts. When creating or updating a CCMA user, you can view
current CCMA password rules.

Contact Center Manager Administration supported in Microsoft


Edge with IE mode
From Release 7.1 Feature Pack 2, you can access Contact Center Manager Administration using
Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer (IE) mode.

Contact Center supports OAuth 2.0 and MS Graph for Emails


From Release 7.1 Feature Pack 2, to comply with the Microsoft Office365 changes, Contact
Center introduces support for OAuth 2.0 authentication and Microsoft Graph (MS Graph) for
Emails. If you use Microsoft Office365 as an Email server, you must configure OAuth 2.0
authentication for the Contact Center Email Manager to enable operation between the Email
Manager and Microsoft Office365. To enable OAuth 2.0 authentication for Emails, you must create
a Microsoft Azure application that acts on behalf of the Email Manager and then configure client
credentials with a certificate or secret using the Contact Center Multimedia Administration utility.

Credentials for Basic and OAuth 2.0 authentication of mailboxes


From Release 7.1 Feature Pack 2, Contact Center supports credentials for Basic and OAuth 2.0
authentication of mailboxes. You can create credentials using the new Credentials tab of the E-
mail section in the Contact Center Multimedia Administration utility.
Basic authentication applies to POP3, IMAP or SMTP servers and uses a password as
credentials. You can use Basic authentication for Email, Social Networking, Voice Mail, Fax,
Scanned Documents, and Text Messaging (SMS) mailboxes. When you upgrade to Contact
Center Release 7.1 Feature Pack 2, passwords of existing mailboxes automatically migrate to
credentials with the default name Basic_auth_1, Basic_auth_2 , and so on. You can rename
credentials if you want.

Changes in this release

OAuth 2.0 authentication applies to the Microsoft Office365 (MS Graph) server. You can configure
the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials grant type with a certificate or a client secret.
You can view the list of all migrated and new credentials in the Credentials Configuration table
located at CCMM Administration > E-mail > Credentials.You can assign the same credentials to
several mailboxes. You cannot delete credentials assigned to a mailbox.

Customer Journey configuration


From Release 7.1 Feature Pack 1, Avaya Workspaces supports the Customer Journey widget,
which is available for Voice, Video, Chat, Email and Outbound contact types.
By default, the Customer Journey widget displays Email and Chat interactions. To configure
Customer Journey for Voice and Video channels, you must enable Contact Summary statistics
collection in the Configuration component of Contact Center Manager Administration and
configure the Voice History server in the Contact Center Multimedia Administration utility.

Customizing processing for customers with restricted flag


Agents using Agent Desktop can set a restricted flag to a customer to prevent unsolicited emails
and calls. From Release 7.1, in the Contact Center Multimedia Administration utility, you can
customize processing of the customers with restricted flag. You can select from the following
options: ignore, block or display a warning.

Enhancement of the Email Templates feature


From Release 7.1 Feature Pack 1, you can import email templates files from Agent Desktop to
Avaya Workspaces. Agents can use the imported email templates when creating email messages
in Avaya Workspaces.

External server for uploading Avaya Workspaces logs


From Release 7.1 Feature Pack 1, you can use an external server for uploading Avaya
Workspaces log files. You can add the server URI using the Workspaces Configuration section of
the Contact Center Multimedia Administration utility.

Functionality to restore the Avaya Workspaces default layout and


deleted widgets
From Release 7.1 Feature Pack 2, you can use the new CCMM functionality to reset the Avaya
Workspaces layout to the default version and restore all widgets deleted from Layout Manager.

Features

Handling customer information


You can use the Multimedia Data Management utility to generate a customer information file or
delete customer history upon request. From Release 7.1 the Multimedia Data Management utility
allows searching for a customer by phone number and deleting customer information from the
Voice database.

Inline images for emails and signatures


From Release 7.1 Service Pack 3, Avaya Workspaces supports adding inline images to emails
and signatures. You can add one or several images to the email body to make the information
easily accessible to customers. You can also increase brand awareness by adding a company
logo to your signature.

Multimedia Data Management utility access


From Release 7.1 Feature Pack 1, you must access the Multimedia Data Management utility using
CCMA. The Multimedia Data Management utility is no longer available from the Windows start
menu.

Unsent emails monitoring


From Release 7.1 you can use CCMM Dashboard utility to see the number of unsent emails,
analyze why emails were not sent and manage unsent emails. The spike detection feature
provides automatic monitoring of unsent messages and generates alarms, when the number of
unsent emails exceeds the defined threshold. You can configure spike detection values — the
number of days and the percentage of unsent emails.

Using Java key store no longer required to store certificates for


Email Manager
In Release 7.1 Feature Pack 2, the Email Manager can use certificates from the Contact Center
security store instead of the default Java key store. You can now add certificates for use with TLS
email connections to the Contact Center security store using the Security Manager functionality.
This feature also ensures that certificates are not lost after upgrades. To prevent loss of
certificates, before upgrading to Release 7.1 Feature Pack 2, you must add your current
certificates to the Contact Center security store.

Chapter 3: Contact Center Multimedia
fundamentals

Use the Contact Center Multimedia (CCMM) Administration utility to allow Contact Center to accept
a variety of contact types and route them to agents. The contact types that an agent can handle are
determined by the skillsets to which the agent is assigned.
Contact types routed using Avaya Contact Center Select include the following:
• voice contacts
• email messages
• Short Message Service (SMS) text messages
• faxed documents
• scanned documents
• voice mail messages
• outbound contacts
• Web communications contacts
Contact Center License Manager licenses each contact type. You must have the appropriate license
in your contact center to enable routing for each contact type.
Important:
To start the CCMM Administration utility, you must first log on to Contact Center Manager
Administration (CCMA). You must log on to CCMA from a Web browser on the Avaya Contact
Center Select server to access the CCMM Administration utility.

Email contact type


Use email messages to communicate with clients by using an email provider such as Microsoft
Exchange. The following figure shows the life cycle of an email contact from the time it is received
by the email server until it is routed to an agent.

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 28

Email contact type

Figure 1: Email contact life cycle

You can route email contacts by using rule groups based on specific information you configure for
the contacts. The Email Manager routes incoming contacts based on the address where the
contact is received, the text is in the email message, or who sent it. The email message is
assigned to a skillset with a priority and then to an agent who can handle the contact based on the
received criteria.
The email contact type has several components:
• Email rule groups on page 30
• Recipient mailboxes on page 31
• Inbound email settings on page 31
You must configure email settings for email messages leaving your contact center as a campaign
or in response to customer email messages.
• Outbound email settings on page 31
• Character encoding for outgoing email messages on page 31
You can configure the email message contact type for international languages, see Asian email on
page 32.

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 29

Contact Center Multimedia fundamentals

You can view real-time traffic reports for your email messages. Configure the date and time for
which you want to review the email traffic in your contact center. See Email traffic reports on
page 32.
You can enable the Extended Email Capacity feature if you require the email backlog capacity to
be more than 20 000. The Extended Email Capacity feature increases the email backlog capacity
to 100 000 contacts. For more information, see Extended Email Capacity on page 33.
You can configure the Supervisor Email Approval feature so that supervisors can approve email
messages before they reach the customers.
Note:
The approval process applies to email contacts only and does not apply to other contact types
such as Fax, Scanned Documents, and SMS.
Based on your quality assurance requirements, regulatory requirements or agent training
requirements, some or all of the email messages can be sent for supervisor approval. You can
configure email messages targeted for supervisor approval on a per skillset basis or per agent
basis. For more information, see Supervisor approval of email messages on page 34.
Agents handle email messages using Agent Desktop. For more information about Agent Desktop,
see Agent Desktop on page 35.

Email rule groups


Rules determine how a multimedia contact is routed based on information about the email
message (input) and configurations in your contact center.
A basic rule considers the first recipient address of the contact and can assign a skillset. You can
further enhance the routing by searching for specific keywords in the body of an email or by
looking at who sent the message. However, you can not apply the keyword search for the HTML
email format.
Rule groups are collections of rules that evaluate the incoming email and route the contact
according to the best match or the first match.
You can also enhance the routing by selecting additional output details for your contact center,
such as automatic responses.
By default, one rule group is supplied that contains the default rule for routing an email contact to
a specific skillset with a priority.
For example, a magazine advertises an investment strategy. Customers can learn more about the
investment by sending an email with “Good Investing” in the subject line to a specific address.
Create a rule to search incoming email messages for “Good Investing.” If the email subject line
contains this subject line, then a brochure is sent to the customer. No interaction from an agent is
required. The rule group “investments” is applied to the recipient mailbox at which the email
message is received.

Email contact type

Recipient mailboxes
Contact Center Multimedia polls specific recipient mailboxes on the email server based on a list of
mailboxes defined in the Multimedia Administrator recipients list. The email retrieved from these
mailboxes is routed based on defined rules applied to either a mail store or an alias. You must
ensure that enabled email addresses configured in your Email Manager are already configured on
your corporate email server.
The recipient mailbox has a default rule group assigned to handle the email messages, but you
can assign a custom rule group to the recipient.
Recipient mailboxes also receive messages from other contact types. Voice Mail contacts attach
a .wav file. Faxes and scanned documents attach a .tiff file to an email message handled by the
Email Manager. An SMS text message also uses the Email Manager to route text messages.

Inbound email settings


Perform this optional configuration if you are licensed for email contacts.
You can configure the following optional email settings:
• how frequently you scan the email server for new messages
• the location in which to store attachments
• the text searched when you use keywords for rules

Outbound email settings


Configure outgoing email mailbox settings to identify who responds to the email message from the
customer. For outgoing email, you can change the character encoding of the message to display
the email message with the correct characters.
The response can contain the email address to which the customer sent the original email
message or a general corporate email address configured for each skillset. Agent-initiated
messages are always sent from an email address associated with a skillset.
Email messages must be relayed through the email server, not forwarded to another party if you
manage email messages on behalf of an external source. Sending email messages preserves the
original To address that is used for email rule administration and outgoing email addresses.

Character encoding for outgoing email messages


The Contact Center Multimedia Email Manager replies to an email message using the same
characters as the inbound email. For example, if an email arrives to the contact center with Latin-1

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 31


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Contact Center Multimedia fundamentals

encoding, the reply from the Agent Desktop or the automatic response is sent in Latin-1. The
customer email client can understand the format of the message sent from the contact center.
If the customer sends an email message in English and receives either an agent response or an
automatic response in another character set, you cannot tell if the customer email client can
decode the new character set. Avaya recommends that if you use an automatic response, you use
rules to search for words in the expected languages (for example, Japanese or English) to ensure
that the response sent matches the language of the inbound email.
If the original email is encoded with the Latin-1 character set (ISO-8859-1), you can choose to
reply in Latin-9 character set (ISO-8859-15) to provide support for the Euro Currency Symbol. The
Euro Currency Symbol is not included in the Latin-1 character set, instead, it is represented by a
question mark (?). Not all recipients understand the Latin-9 character set, and the reply email can
be perceived as a blank email. Avaya recommends that only contact centers in Europe use Latin-9
encoding.

Asian email
Internationalized domain names (IDN) can include characters from East Asian languages. Using
characters from East Asian languages is dangerous because this can be used by phishing sites.
Phishing is a way of attempting to acquire information such as names, passwords, and credit card
details by misrepresenting a malicious website as a legitimate website.
Phishing email messages contain links to malicious websites that look similar to legitimate
business websites. For example, the IDN of a phishing site can achieve this by replacing Latin 1
characters with East Asian characters that are visually similar or identical.
The World Wide Web Consortium uses punycode to implement IDNs. Punycode is an ASCII
equivalent to the domain name. Normally, the client (Web browser or email client) accepts the IDN
in native characters and converts it to punycode; for example, xn--jp-cd2fp15c@xn--fsq.com. The
receiving client identifies the sender as being a punycode string and interprets the native
characters.
Contact Center Multimedia supports IDNs. You or a customer can enter a punycode email
address. The receiving client can render the native characters.

Email traffic reports


Reports appear in the CCMM Administration utility to show the current status of the email traffic.
The following reports appear when you select E-mail in the left column of the Multimedia
Administrator application. You can choose the report date and the skillsets represented in all
displayed real-time reports.
• E-mail (New Vs. Closed) shows the number of contacts in a new and closed state against the
time for the selected date and skillsets. You can use this report to monitor the incoming and
closing rate for email and to determine if the traffic levels are adequately managed. The
number of new contacts is defined as those with an arrival time since midnight on the

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 32

Email contact type

selected date. The number of closed contacts is defined as those with a close time since
midnight on the selected date.
• E-mail Progress shows the number of contacts in a new or closed state on a defined date to
determine the traffic levels for that date.
• E-mail Closed Contacts Queue Time shows the average time an email contact spends in the
queue while the contact center is open. The queue time is defined as the time between when
the contact arrives in the contact center and the time the contact is presented to an agent
less the time that the contact center is closed. This report shows only closed contacts for the
selected date, and reflects only a partial summary of the service level achieved for the date.

Extended Email Capacity


The Extended Email Capacity feature increases the email backlog capacity to 100 000 contacts.
Contact centers that have large email volumes can use the Extended Email Capacity feature to
pull email messages that are present in the CCMM database. Agents can then view email
contacts in the CCMM database and search or extract these contacts, while on a voice call with a
customer.
The Email Scheduler Service is a Contact Center Multimedia (CCMM) service that monitors the
Real-time Statistics Multicast (RSM) stream and multimedia database for skillset statistics
corresponding to email skillsets. This service gathers the following information:
• The skillsets in service.
• The number of available agents. The CCMM database provides the number of in-service
agents.
• The number of queued contacts. RSM provides information about the Calls Waiting statistics.
The Email Scheduler Service uses this information to ensure that sufficient contacts are queued
on each skillset.
Note:
Generally, the system queues two contacts per logged in agent on a skillset. However, in
certain circumstances the actual amount of contacts queued can be more.
By default, the Extended Email Capacity feature is disabled. If you require the email backlog
capacity to be more than 20 000, you must enable this feature.
If the Extended Email Capacity feature is disabled, Email Manager performs nightly checks on the
number of email messages that have a New status in the multimedia database. If the number of
email messages that have the New status is more than 10 000 in a standalone CCMM
configuration and 3 000 in a co-resident configuration, Email Manager sends an email to the
administrator to enable the Extended Email Capacity feature. You can configure the distribution list
for this email in the Multimedia Dashboard. Email Manager uses the address assigned to the
EM_Default_Skillset as the From Address. If you do not configure this address, Email Manager
sends the notification to a dummy address, which triggers a delivery failure notification. The
delivery failure notification then routes to an agent. The text of the email is set up as a prepared
response with a default System Message.

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 33


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Contact Center Multimedia fundamentals

On the Multimedia Dashboard, you can see whether the Extended Email Capacity feature is
enabled. If the Extended Email Capacity feature is disabled, and the number of New email
contacts in the CCMM database is more than 2 000, the dashboard displays a warning in amber. If
the number of New email contacts in the CCMM database is more than 3 000, the dashboard
displays a warning in red.

Supervisor approval of email messages


Before an email message reaches a customer, supervisors can approve or reject email messages
that agents send to customers.
The approval process applies only to email contacts. The approval process does not apply to
other contact types such as Fax, Scanned Documents, and SMS.
Configuration of Supervisor approval of email messages
Based on your requirements, the system can send some or all of the email messages to
supervisors for approval before the system sends the email messages to a customer.
Quality assurance or Regulatory requirements: You can configure contacts that the system sends
to supervisors for approval on a per skillset basis, which means that a percentage (0-100) of email
messages sent from a skillset requires approval from supervisors. For more information, see
Configuring supervisor approval for email messages on a per skillset basis on page 133.
Important:
For approval of agent email messages, you must configure an approval skillset to which the
system sends the agent email messages.
Agent training: You can also configure contacts that the system sends to supervisors for approval
on a per agent basis, which means that a percentage (0-100) of the email messages sent by
particular agents require approval from supervisors.
For example, you can configure that 100% of the email messages that new agents send require
approval from supervisors and 50% of the email messages that agents who have been in the
contact center for over six months send require approval from supervisors. For more information,
see Configuring supervisor approval for email messages on a per agent basis on page 57.
Agents can pull contacts for approval. You must restrict this by configuring skillset partitions.
Agents cannot request approval of email messages. You cannot configure keywords to trigger the
approval process.
You can configure up to five levels of approval from supervisors before email messages reach
customers. The system sends email messages through a hierarchy of supervisors before the
system grants the final approval.
You can also configure the system to automatically reject email messages from all skillsets based
on keyword groups. For more information, see Configuring auto-rejection of email messages from
all skillsets that use approval hierarchy on page 134.

Email contact type

Flow of email messages through Agent Desktop


Agent Desktop handles the flow of email messages as follows:
• When an agent sends an email message, the system marks the email message for approval
and returns the email message to a predetermined skillset in the queue for approval.
Supervisors who review the email message that the agent sends to the customer must be
assigned to the approval skillset.
Agents can belong to the skillset that approves email messages. Therefore, you must
configure the approval process in a way that restricts agents from approving email
messages.
• If the supervisor approves the email message, the system marks the email message to be
sent to the customer or returns the email message to the queue if the email message
requires further approval. If the email message requires further approval, the system targets
the email message to the next approval skillset in the hierarchy.
• If the supervisor rejects the email message, the system marks the email message as rejected
and returns the email message to the queue targeted to the previous skillset. The email
message flows through the rejection hierarchy till the email message reaches the originator
for redrafting. The supervisor must add review comments so that the originator can redraft
the email message.
Only the originator of the email message can edit or redraft the email message. Supervisors
at all levels can only add review comments.
The system does not move email messages through the approval hierarchy in the following
situations:
• You delete a skillset that is part of the supervisor approval chain and the contact is already in
queue waiting for that skillset to come into service
• You delete the original agent and a supervisor rejects the email message
• You delete the supervisor who must approve the email message
In order to handle such contacts, agents must use Agent Desktop to pull contacts.

Agent Desktop
Agents use Agent Desktop to process email contacts. When an email message arrives at the
contact center, it is routed to Agent Desktop, and agents can perform the following activities:
• Accept or reject an email message.
• Review and update customer information.
• Create a reply.
• Transfer the contact to an agent, skillset, or expert.
• Select a prepared response to send to the customer contact.
• Select an activity code to record the result of the customer contact.

Use the CCMM Dashboard utility to perform the following tasks:
• Monitor the number of contacts for optimum performance.
• Troubleshoot contact routing errors.
• Detect and analyze unsent emails.

CCMM Contacts monitoring


You can use the CCMM Dashboard utility to monitor the number and state of contacts in the
Contact Center database. On the CCMM Dashboard, the CCMM Contacts by Type section
displays the type, state, and number of contacts in the Contact Center database.
The CCMM Contacts by Type section has the following columns:
• Type — the contact type name is displayed in this column, for example, EMail, Outbound,
Scanned Document.
• New — the contact is currently in a queue, the new contact has not yet been assigned to an
agent.
• Open — the contact is currently presented to an agent, the agent is handling this open
contact.
• Closed — the contact was handled and is now finished.
• Waiting — the waiting state is used when the Extended Email Capacity feature is enabled.
Contacts that are not added to a queue and/or moved to the New state are in the Waiting
state.
The CCMM Contacts by Type section has a row labelled Total, which displays the total number of
contacts in each of the above columns.
You can use this information to monitor the number of contacts for optimum performance.

SMS text messages, faxes, scanned documents, and voice


mail attachments
The Short Message Service (SMS) text message is a standard communications protocol for the
exchange of short text messages between mobile phone devices. SMS messages are forwarded
by an SMS gateway to an email address.
A fax (short for facsimile) is a document sent over a phone line. Faxes are forwarded by a fax
server to an email address as a .tiff attachment.
A scanned document is an electronic version of a printed page or document. Scanned documents
are forwarded by a document imaging server to an email address as a .tiff attachment.
A voice mail is a spoken message including a message on an answering machine. Voice mail
messages are forwarded by a voice mail server to an email address as a .wav attachment.
For each type of contact, you can configure the routing of the specified contact and assign a
priority to the contact. See Mailbox configuration on page 40.
You can view traffic report summaries for each type of contact. See Traffic reports on page 40.
Use the Agent Desktop to open and reply to SMS, faxes, scanned documents, and voice mail
contacts. See Agent Desktop on page 41.
For the previously listed contact types, the Email Manager retrieves the message or attachment
and queues it to the default or defined skillset with the assigned priority. For faxes and voice mail
attachments, the Email Manager permits the caller ID be extracted to facilitate replies or callbacks.

Multimedia Administrator application. You can choose the report date and the skillsets represented
in all displayed real-time reports.
• The New Vs. Closed report shows the number of contacts in a new and closed state against
the time for the selected date and skillsets. You can use this report to monitor the incoming
and closing rate for contacts of a particular type and to determine if the traffic levels are
adequately managed. The number of new contacts is defined as those with an arrival time
since midnight on the selected date. The number of closed contacts is defined as those with
a close time since midnight on that date.
• The Progress report shows the number of contacts in a new or closed state on a defined date
to determine the traffic levels for the selected date.

Outbound contact type

• The Closed Contacts Queue Time report shows the average time a contact spends in the
queue while the contact center is open. The queue time is defined as the time between when
the contact arrives in the contact center and the time the contact is presented to an agent
less the time that the contact center is closed. This report shows only closed contacts for the
selected date, and reflects only a partial summary of the service level achieved for the date.

Agent Desktop
Agents use Agent Desktop to process SMS, faxes, scanned documents, and voice mail contacts.
When one of these contacts arrives at the contact center, CCMM routes it to a skillset, and agents
can perform the following activities:
• Accept or reject the contact.
• Review and update customer information.
• Create a reply.
• Select a prepared response to send to the customer.
• Select a activity code to record the result of the customer contact.

Outbound contact type


The outbound contact type is an outgoing call made by agents to customers for sales or
marketing.
The following figure shows how outbound contacts interact with Contact Center Manager
Administration, Contact Center Multimedia, and Contact Center Manager Server.

Contact Center Outbound consists of several components:


• Outbound Campaign Management Tool on page 42
• Campaign Scheduler on page 43
• Agent Desktop on page 43
• Contact Center Manager Administration on page 44

Outbound Campaign Management Tool


Use the Outbound Campaign Management Tool in Contact Center Manager Administration to
create, modify, and monitor outbound campaigns.
A contact center administrator or supervisor can use the Outbound Campaign Management Tool
to create and monitor outbound campaigns. The Outbound Campaign Management Tool provides
the following main functions:
• Define a campaign.

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 42


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Outbound contact type

• Import call data.


• Create disposition codes.
• Review outbound call data.
• Create and preview optional agent scripts.
• Review campaign progress.

Campaign Scheduler
This Contact Center Multimedia server component determines when to queue contacts to the
Contact Center Manager Server. The Campaign Scheduler monitors the status of each campaign
and performs the following actions:
• Assigns the campaign status to running and queues contacts to Contact Center Manager
Server when the campaign start time or daily start time occurs.
• Assigns the campaign status to nonrunning and removes contacts from Contact Center
Manager Server when the daily end time occurs.
• Assigns the campaign status to expired and removes contacts from Contact Center Manager
Server when the daily end time occurs.
• Assigns the campaign status to completed when all contacts are processed.
The Campaign Scheduler queues outbound contacts at the rate required to maintain 5 outbound
contacts waiting for each logged in agent on each outbound skillset.
The Campaign Scheduler also queues rescheduled outbound contacts falling due within the next
15 minutes. Therefore the Real Time Display (RTD) for the skillset can show more than 5 times
the number of staffed agents, depending on rescheduled outbound contacts falling due within the
next 15 minute period.
The RTD can display less than 5 times the number of staffed agents, where there are not enough
outbound contacts, which fall within the configured dialing hours based on customer time zone,
waiting in outbound campaigns.

Agent Desktop
Agents use Agent Desktop to process outbound contacts. When a campaign runs, outbound
contacts are routed to Agent Desktop, and agents can perform the following activities:
• Accept or reject an outbound contact.
• Review and update customer information.
• Make the outbound voice call.
• Follow an agent script and record customers answers and comments.

• Select a disposition code to record the result of the call.

Contact Center Manager Administration


Use Real-Time Reporting and Historical Reporting in Contact Center Manager Administration to
create and run real-time and historical reports for outbound contacts.
Real-Time Reporting displays real-time and up-to-date statistics information regarding a
campaign, such as the number of waiting contacts, the number of answered contacts, or the
average answer delay.

Web services
The Open Queue Open Interface delivers existing Open Queue functions to third-party
applications that use a Web service. Third-party applications can add and remove contacts of a
specific type in Contact Center.
For more information, see the SDK documentation.

Web communications
Contact Center provides two services for web chat: Web Communications text chat and Enterprise
Web Chat (EWC). EWC supports integration with Agent Desktop on a Voice and Multimedia
Contact Server with or without AAMS, or with a standalone Multimedia Contact Server, on a
Unified Communications solution. EWC is a licensed feature, and requires a Web Chat SDK
license.
Use the Web Communications Manager to communicate with customers over the Internet. Agents
and customers directly communicate in real time by conducting a two-way conversation by
exchanging text messages using JavaScript- and frame-compliant Web browsers. The Web
Communications Manager provides the following functions:
• intelligent routing of customer communications to the agent who has the subject knowledge
to respond
• an Agent Desktop interface for agents to respond efficiently to customers
• easy referencing of the thread of conversation between the customer and the agent in a text
chat session
• an optional customer-centered multimedia presentation to the customer’s browser while the
customer waits for an agent
• push Web pages to the other party during conversations for discussions

triggers and filters
Note:
These settings apply to both Agent Desktop and Avaya Workspaces.
. Advanced Screen pops provide administrators with greater range and flexibility with respect to
conditions and triggers for opening a particular screen pop. However, administrators must
configure the screen pop application to open based on one intrinsic. For example, configure a
Web page (application) to open when you receive a contact with skillset EM_Ramdom_Skillset
(intrinsic).
A maximum of five screen pops can launch on Agent Desktop for each event. The order of
opening the screen pops is as follows:
1. All Basic Screen pops that match the configured contact type, event, and intrinsic.
2. Advanced Screen pops that match the configured contact type, event, and filter. Advanced
Screen pops open in an ascending order based on the screen pops configured on the
Advanced Screenpop Settings page.

Chapter 7: Email configuration

This chapter describes how to set up your contact center with the optional configurations for routing
email contacts to fulfill your customer requirements.
When you commission your contact center, you configure the email server, a default email skillset,
and a default recipient with at least one rule group. The default settings ensure email messages go
only to an agent with the ability to handle email messages. You can customize your contact center
with additional skillsets, rule groups and email servers.
To further enhance your customer service, you can configure routing tools to use in rule groups. Use
keyword groups and sender groups to decide how to route contacts. Configure which skillset and
priority the email contact is assigned to based on the input for routing contacts. Use automatic
suggestions for the agent to reply quickly to an email or automatic responses to send a reply to the
customer without agent interaction. You can close the contact immediately after the automatic
response. This chapter describes how to configure all optional routing tools.
You can configure outbound email settings, such as which skillset to use as a reply address and a
list of email addresses that must not receive automatic responses. For each skillset you use to route
contacts, you can have a signature with your corporate branding or special information based on the
skillset.
Other types of contacts generate email messages that are routed using the inbound and outbound
email options.
Reports appear in the Contact Center Multimedia Administration utility to show the current status of
the email traffic. The following reports appear when you select email and View Reports in the left
column of the Contact Center Multimedia application. You can choose the report date and the
skillsets represented in all displayed real-time reports.
• Email (New Vs. Closed) shows the number of contacts in a new and closed state against the
time for the selected date and skillsets.
• Email Progress shows the number of contacts in a new or closed state on a defined date to
determine the traffic levels for that date.
• Email Closed Contacts Queue Time shows the average time an email contact spends in queue
while the contact center is open.
You can configure general email settings to minimize space and format special characters for other
languages.

Updating the system delivery failure rule


Before you begin
• Ensure that you are licensed to handle email messages.
• Ensure that you know the default settings for the system delivery failure rule:
- use the email default skillset, EM_Default _Skillset
- use keyword group delivery failure keywords
- assign priority 10 (lowest)
• Use caution when you change the properties of the system default rule:
- If you change the properties of the rule, you affect the behavior of the system default rule,
which affects all recipient mailboxes.
- If you delete the skillset associated with the default rule, EM_Default_Skillset is used.
- If you delete EM_Default_Skillset, the system stops processing email messages.
• Configure the route point for the skillset you plan to assign to the system delivery failure rule.
See Configuring skillsets for email on page 108.
About this task
Update the system delivery failure rule to ensure that any email message that contains particular
phrases such as undeliverable, returned mail, unknown recipient, delivery failure, or delivery
report is deleted and not assigned to an agent.
When you create a recipient mailbox, the system delivery failure rule is copied as the first regular
rule into the list of rules for the recipient mailbox.

Creating or changing prepared responses


About this task
There are three types of prepared responses; auto response, chat history header, and auto
suggestion.
You can use automatic responses to automatically send responses to a sender without agent
intervention. Chat history headers provide email headers for sending chat history to a customer.
Suggested responses give agents template text for common responses, which they can review
and edit and send as a response. The body of a prepared response is limited to 3900 characters.
This limit includes hidden characters such as HTML tags.
You must add a suggested response to a rule group, to make it available to agents on Agent
Desktop. To send prepared chat history headers, you must configure a header on each WC
skillset.
Prepared responses support both standard and inline attachments. You can add inline
attachments such as company logos to the responses. You can include only images as inline
attachments. The formats supported are .gif, .bmp, .jpg, and .png.
Agents can also place inline attachments (only as images) in email messages.
Inline attachments display complete information within the body of the email. This makes the
information easily accessible to customers, even without explicitly opening the attachment. For
example, adding a company logo, as an inline image, increases brand awareness.

Promoting suggested responses


About this task
You can configure prepared responses for agents in the contact center. An agent can use a
suggested response during the contact. Contact Center Multimedia tracks the number of times the
suggestion is used. If one suggestion is used often, it is considered a strong reply, and then you
can promote the suggestion to an automatic response.
Promoting the suggested responses ensures that the customer receives a correct response
because the agent checks it. The agent can make small changes to the suggestion until it is
acceptable to run as an automatic response.
You can promote the suggested responses to an automatic response based on the following
criteria:
• rules where the suggestion is assigned
• number of contacts in the past 30, 60, 90 or 120 days
• list of all suggestions that are used by agents
• number of times the suggestion is used
• percent of total contacts where the suggestion is applied by agents

Configuring supervisor approval for email messages on a per skillset basis

Configuring supervisor approval for email messages on a


per skillset basis
Before you begin
If you want to use keyword groups to reject email messages automatically, configure keyword
groups. See Creating or changing a keyword group on page 117.
About this task
Supervisors can approve email messages before the email messages reach the customers.
Note:
The approval process applies to email contacts only and does not apply to other contact types
such as Fax, Scanned Documents, and SMS.
You can configure Contact Center to send email messages to supervisors for approval on a per
skillset basis or per agent basis.
You can configure up to five levels of supervisor approval before Contact Center sends the email
messages to the customer. Contact Center offers the email message to a hierarchy of supervisors
before the final approval is granted.
Note:
Under the following conditions, a contact can get held up in the approval process:
• an administrator deletes a skillset that is part of the supervisor approval chain and the
contact is already in queue waiting for that skillset to come into service
• an administrator deletes the original agent and a supervisor rejects the email message
• an administrator deletes the supervisor who needs to approve the email message
In such situations, an agent must pull the contact using Agent Desktop.
For more information, see Supervisor approval of email messages on page 34 and Configuring
supervisor approval for email messages on a per agent basis on page 57.
Procedure
1. Open the Multimedia Administration utility. See Starting the CCMM Administration utility on

Email configuration

Note:
Agents can belong to the skillset that approves email messages. Therefore, you must
configure the approval process in a way that restricts agents from approving email
messages.
7. From the drop-down list, under Rejection Flow, select the rejection hierarchy for each
approval level. You can select one of the following:
• Reject to original skillset
• Reject to current approval level –1. This hierarchy is the default setting. For example,
Reject to approval level 1.
You must configure a rejection hierarchy for each approval level. The rejection hierarchy
controls the flow of email messages through the levels of approval skillsets for a rejected
email message. For example, you can decide to automatically send all rejected email
messages, at any level, back to the originator.
8. In the Approval Ratio field, type the percentage of email messages that require supervisor
approval for that skillset.
The approval ratio must be whole numbers ranging from 0 to 100.

Configuring the email settings

About this task


If you have set up supervisor approval of email messages, you can configure Contact Center to
use a keyword group to automatically reject email messages from all the skillsets that use
approval hierarchy.
For example, you can configure a keyword group named Abusive, and then add a list of abusive
words to the group. For all skillsets that use approval hierarchy, Contact Center automatically
rejects email messages that contain words listed in the Abusive keyword group. This configuration
does not affect skillsets that do not have an approval hierarchy.
Note:
Auto-rejection of email messages applies to the first approval level prior to the first review by a
supervisor. After a supervisor reviews an email message, auto-rejection of email messages is
not applicable.
Procedure
1. Open the Multimedia Administration utility. See Starting the CCMM Administration utility on
page 48.
2. In the left pane, click E-mail.
3. Click Supervisor Approvals.
4. Under Global Settings, in the Auto-Rejection Keyword Group For All Skillsets drop-

Changing the character encoding for outgoing and


incoming email
Before you begin
• Avaya recommends that only contact centers in Europe use Latin-9 encoding.
About this task
Change the character encoding of outgoing email to reply to an email message by using the same
character set as the inbound email. For example, if an email arrives at the contact center with
Latin-1 encoding, the reply from the Agent Desktop or the automatic response is sent in Latin-1.
The customer email client can understand the format of the message sent from the contact center.
Use Latin-9 to provide support for the Euro currency symbol, as this character is not included in
the Latin-1 character set. Outgoing email messages encoded in Latin-1 that include the Euro
symbol, deliver the symbol as a question mark. However, not all recipient clients understand
Latin-9 and can receive what is perceived as a blank email message. Therefore, Avaya
recommends that contact centers in Europe use the option for Latin-9 encoding while contact
centers outside Europe avoid it.

Adding a certificate for use with TLS email connections


About this task
Enable Transport Layer Security (TLS) on the Email Manager. Contact Center Multimedia
supports TLS to protect data traveling between the email server and the Contact Center
Multimedia server.
Although SMTP is secure, when email traverses the Internet, it becomes insecure.
Implementations of secure SMTP vary, as does the port number. For more information about
SMTP security, see the documentation for your email server.
The following error can occur:
EmailManager.log file javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Could not
find trusted certificate.
This message indicates one of the following:
• the target mail server TLS certificate is signed with a certificate from a signing authority that
is not trusted
• you are using a test certificate and must enable SMTP Authentication on your email server
Note:
Contact Center supports monitored mailboxes distributed across several email servers.
Use the Security Manager to add a certificate for TLS email connections to the Contact Center
security store.
Before you begin
• Avaya recommends that you use a false connection on the fallback. If you assign fallback to
false, a secure connection cannot be established, and the operation fails. If you assign the
fallback to true, during a failure, the connection is insecure.
• Save the certificate files on the Contact Center server.
Procedure
1. Log on to the Contact Center server containing the security store.

Enabling SMTP Authentication on your email server


About this task
Enable SMTP authentication for Microsoft Exchange Server. SMTP Authentication is a mechanism
to restrict non-authenticated clients from sending email messages outside your organization.
Agents who want to send external email messages must provide their logon credentials to the
email server before their email is relayed. Failure to authenticate leads to an immediate message
from the email server indicating that sending the email is prohibited or a later non-delivery report
email. Organizations generally implement SMTP authentication to prevent SPAM messages from
being relayed through the networks. For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base
article Q197869.
SMTP authentication varies among email servers.
Procedure
1. Log on to the Microsoft Exchange Server with domain administrative privileges.
2. Start the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program.
3. On the Configuration branch, double-click Internet Mail Service.
4. On the Routing tab, click Routing Restrictions.

Chapter 8: Web communications
configuration

The Contact Center Multimedia server supports text-based conversations between the customer
and the agent by using Web communications text chat or Enterprise Web Chat (EWC). When
customers initiate a Web communications contact, a list of skillsets determines the appropriate topic
for the contact.
EWC supports integration with Agent Desktop only with a standalone Multimedia server on a Unified
Communications solution. EWC is a licensed feature, and requires a Web Chat SDK license.
Note:
If you are migrating from an existing Web Communications chat solution to the EWC chat
solution, you must redevelop your custom interfaces to integrate with EWC.
Contact Center selects EWC as the web chat solution, if the following criteria are satisfied:
1. Agent have logged on to Agent Desktop.
2. Agents are assigned to a skillset for handling web communications.
3. Contact Center is licensed for EWC.
Before making any Web communications contacts, you must ensure the Web communications
server or Enterprise Web Chat is configured.
Note:
Agent Desktop handling of web communications contacts is the same whether Contact Center
uses Web Communications chat or EWC. You must enable Agent Desktop to handle EWC
contacts using the CCMM Administration utility. By default the option is not enabled. You can
enable the option only if your Contact Center has the EWC license.
To personalize the Web communications contacts, you can configure welcome messages for all
contacts, and specialized messages for each skillset. You can also place labels in the text-based
conversation to identify the text written by the customer and agent. You can also send a copy of the
transcript of the Web communication contact to the customer when the contact is complete.
Timers control the length of time for alerts to indicate when the agent or customer stops responding
in the Web communication contact.
To assist agents with Web communications contacts, you can use automatic phrases to configure
text for agents to automatically insert in the text-based conversation. You can also configure page
push URLs, a predefined URL that is commonly sent to customers. The automatic phrases and
page push URLs save the agent typing time when communicating with the customer.

Web communications configuration

The Web on hold URLs creates a list of Web pages that are sent to the customer’s desktop while
they wait for an agent to respond to their initial contact.
A Web on hold comfort group creates a list of messages that are sent to the customer’s desktop,
while the customer waits for an agent to respond, for a specified period of time to their initial contact,
on a Web communications skillset.
A Web communications comfort group creates a list of messages that are sent to the customer's
desktop while they wait for an agent to respond, for a specified period of time, either to their initial
contact or during the communication, on a Web communications skillset.
An agent-supervisor can observe or participate in any currently active agent-customer Web
communications chat session, provided the agent is under the supervision of that particular agent-
supervisor. Agent-supervisors using Agent Desktop can see a display of all such applicable Web
communications and Voice contacts currently active. This display also flags any Web
communications contacts where certain intrinsic values exceed the defined threshold. If Contact
Center uses the EWC solution then an agent-supervisor can send whisper messages to the agent.
Whisper messages are not seen by the customer. Whisper messages are not supported in the Web
Communications chat solution.
Note:
Web communications configuration procedures do not apply to voice-only contact centers. To
enable this multimedia feature, obtain and configure a multimedia-enabled license.

Prerequisites for Web communications configuration


• Ensure that you have a license for Web communications.
• Additionally, if you are using Enterprise Web Chat (EWC), ensure that you have an EWC

Configuring intrinsics for agent-supervisor observe and


barge-in
About this task
An agent-supervisor can observe or barge-into any active incoming agent-customer Web
Communications chat session of all agents under the supervision of the agent-supervisor. Agent
Desktop displays active incoming Web Communications contacts and Voice contacts to agent-
supervisors.
Agent Desktop flags any Web Communications contacts where certain intrinsic values exceed the
defined threshold.
Using the Multimedia Administration utility, you can set the threshold values for intrinsics. Some of
the intrinsics are:
• Conversation Length (seconds)
• Seconds since last message out
• Seconds since last message in
• Number of Agent Messages
• Unanswered Messages
Using the Multimedia Administration utility, you can assign a priority from 1 to 5, 1 being the
highest priority, to each of the intrinsics. The system uses the threshold and priority values
assigned to sequence the Web Communications contacts in a list. Contacts which require urgent
attention appear at the top of this list.
Important:
Each intrinsic type has a unique priority level. For example, Conversation Length and
Customer Idle Time intrinsics cannot have the same priority level.
If the value set for the intrinsics exceeds the defined threshold, the system flags the contact as
requiring attention. If the system flags more than one contact, then these contacts are sequenced
based on a weightage. The system calculates this weightage using the priority of the intrinsic with
exceeded thresholds. A higher weightage is given to intrinsics that have a higher priority.

For example, if contact A has exceeded the threshold for intrinsics of priority 1 and 2, and contact
B has exceeded the threshold for intrinsics of priority 1 and 3, then contact A appears above

Chapter 10: Mailboxes credentials
configuration

Contact Center uses credentials for mailboxes authentication and supports two types of
authentication:
• Basic authentication for POP3, IMAP or SMTP servers
• OAuth 2.0 authentication for the Microsoft Office365 (MS Graph) server

Basic authentication
This is the default type of authentication.
Basic authentication applies to POP3, IMAP or SMTP servers and uses a password as
credentials. You can use Basic authentication for Email, Social Networking, Voice Mail, Fax,
Scanned Documents, and Text Messaging (SMS) mailboxes. You can assign the same credentials
to several mailboxes. You cannot delete credentials assigned to a mailbox.
For more information about configuring credentials for Basic authentication, see Creating
credentials for Basic authentication on page 173.

Creating credentials for Basic authentication


About this task
Create credentials for Basic authentication of Email, Social Networking, Voice Mail, Fax, Scanned
Documents, and Text Messaging (SMS) mailboxes. Use these credentials for POP3, IMAP or
SMTP servers.
Procedure
1. Open the Contact Center Multimedia Administration utility.
See Starting the CCMM Administration utility on page 48.
2. In the left pane, click Email.
3. Click Credentials.

9. Click Save.
Result
The new credentials appear in the Credentials Configuration table. You can now use these
credentials when creating mailboxes for Email, Social Networking, Voice Mail, Fax, Scanned
Documents, and Text Messaging (SMS).

OAuth 2.0 authentication


If you use Microsoft Office365 as an Email server, you must configure OAuth 2.0 authentication for
the Contact Center Email Manager to enable operation between the Email Manager and Microsoft
Office365.
To allow the Email Manager to interact with Microsoft Office365, on Microsoft Azure Portal, you
must create an application with all the required API permissions. This application interacts with the
Microsoft Office365 server on behalf of the Email Manager.
Unlike Basic authentication that uses a password as an authentication method, OAuth 2.0 uses an
access token for this purpose. An access token is retrieved from the Microsoft Identity Platform
using the Client Credentials grant with a certificate or secret. Client credentials are a data
structure that stores parameters required to access the Microsoft Office365 server. Using the
Contact Center Multimedia Administration utility, you can configure the OAuth 2.0 Client
Credentials grant type with a certificate or a client secret.
Using a certificate is a more secure authentication method than a client secret. Avaya
recommends that you use certificates for your Contact Center.
A client secret is a string value your Azure application uses instead of a certificate to identify itself.
A client secret is easier to configure and use, but it is less secure than a certificate.
You can assign the same credentials to several mailboxes. You cannot delete credentials
assigned to a mailbox.
To enable OAuth 2.0 authentication for your Contact Center, perform the following tasks:
1. On the Microsoft Azure Administration Portal, create an application for the Email Manager.
See Creating an Azure application for the Email Manager on page 175.

page 176.
• Client credentials with a secret. See Creating client credentials with a client secret on
page 178.
3. Use the created client credentials when creating a recipient mailbox on the Microsoft
Office365 server.

Chapter 11: Voice mail configuration

This chapter contains the configuration steps for the voice mail recipient mailbox and routing voice
mail contacts.
In the contact center, the recipient mailboxes are polled for incoming voice mail messages. A voice
mail server forwards voice mail messages to an email address. The Contact Center Multimedia
Email Manager retrieves the voice mail (.wav) attachment and queues it to the appropriate skillset
with an assigned priority. The caller ID is extracted to facilitate callbacks to the customer.
Reports appear in the Contact Center Multimedia Administration utility to show the current status of
the voice mail traffic. The following reports appear when you select Voice Mail and View Reports in
the left column of the Contact Center Multimedia application. You can choose the report date and
the skillsets represented in all displayed real-time reports.
• The Voice Mail (New Vs. Closed) report shows the number of contacts in a new and closed
state against the time for the selected date and skillsets.
• The Voice Mail Progress report shows the number of contacts in a new or closed state on a
defined date to determine the traffic levels for that date.
• The Voice Mail Closed Contacts Queue Time report shows the average time a voice mail
contact spends in queue while the contact center is open.

Chapter 15: Data Management - cleanup
and purging

Use the procedures in this chapter to set up the cleanup rules and tasks to remove closed contacts
from the active Multimedia database.
Avaya Contact Center Select includes a Multimedia Offline database, a background synchronization
task, and cleanup and purge tools. The background synchronization task automatically updates
contacts from the active Multimedia database to the Offline database. You create rules and
schedules to clean up the active Multimedia database by removing closed contacts from it, while
leaving them in the Offline database. This keeps the active database small and efficient, while also
allowing for historical reporting across all the contacts in both the active and the Multimedia Offline
databases. The Multimedia Offline database contains the archived contacts, which are accessible
for custom reporting. You can report on the Offline database using custom reporting with an ODBC
DSN referencing the Offline tables in the Multimedia namespace.
You can configure the Offline database to purge contacts over a specific age. You specify the age at
which ACCS purges closed contacts. ACCS runs a purge task every day, and purges contacts that
meet the age criteria. You cannot recover a purged contact other than by restoring a backed-up
Offline database.
Database sizing and limits
The active Multimedia database supports a maximum of 1,000,000 contacts. You must regularly
cleanup contacts from the active Multimedia database to stay below this limit. The maximum size of
the Offline database is 70% of the database drive size. For example, if the Multimedia database
drive size is 200 Gb, then the maximum size of the Offline database is 140 Gb. If the Offline
database fills up, you can either increase the Multimedia database disk space, or change the Offline
database purge interval.
To prevent service interruption, updates to the Offline database stop when the database drive size is
70% full and the Offline database has less than 5% free space. Updates continue after you purge
contacts, or if space is freed or added to the drive.
You can check the current sizes of the databases in the CCMM Data Management tool.

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 219

Data Management - cleanup and purging

Figure 4: Data Management Configuration screen

When the current size of the Offline database grows to 75% of the maximum size, CCMM logs this
event to the log file. When the current size of the Offline database grows above 90% of the
maximum size, CCMM logs events to the event viewer. If the current size of the Offline database
exceeds 95%, CCMM stops automatically synchronizing contacts from the Multimedia database,
and prevents you from running manual or scheduled archives.
You can purge contacts from the Offline database to reduce the database size. You specify the age
at which ACCS purges closed contacts. ACCS runs a purge task every day, and purges contacts
that meet the age criteria. You cannot recover a purged contact other than by restoring a backed-up
Offline database.
Cleanup rules
You create a cleanup rule to select contacts for a scheduled cleanup task. Cleanup rules apply to
the Multimedia database only. Cleanup rules select contacts based on the number of days they
have been in a Closed state, and any one of the following criteria:
• outbound campaign
• email rule
• contact skillset

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 220


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
• closed reason
• contact customer
In addition, there are four system cleanup rules:
• Anonymous web customers with no contacts: This rule clears anonymous customers that a
Web Chat application can create, if it allows customers to start a web chat anonymously.
• Customers with no contacts: This rule clears customer records with no contacts, which can
occur on systems upgraded from an earlier release.
• All contacts more than 1 year old: This rule clears all contacts that are more than 1 year old.
• All contacts more than 5 years old: This rule clears all contacts that are more than 5 years
old.
You cannot modify these rules. They allow you to clear customer records with no contacts that occur
in exceptional circumstances. Run scheduled tasks with these rules periodically to clear unwanted
customer records from the active database.
Each scheduled cleanup task uses a rule, so you must create a rule before you can create a
scheduled task.

Data Management - cleanup and purging

Scheduled tasks
You create scheduled cleanup tasks to clear contacts from the active Multimedia database. A
scheduled task uses a single cleanup rule to select the contacts to clear. Scheduled tasks clear only
closed contacts that were already copied to the Multimedia Offline database. If a contact was not
previously copied to the Multimedia Offline database, the scheduled task copies it and then clears it.
The following figure shows the interface that you use to create scheduled cleanups of the active
Multimedia database.

The illustrated interface shows three work areas:


1 The Top Bar.
2 The Navigation Pane.
3 The Scheduled Task Calendar.

You can restore the contacts cleared by a scheduled cleanup task.
Using the Multimedia Dashboard metrics to identify data to purge
You can use the Multimedia Dashboard metrics to identify data to clean up. The CCMM Database
Metrics section shows alerts when the metrics exceed normal thresholds. If you place your mouse
over the alerting metric, the Dashboard displays a tooltip with details of the database values causing

Data Management - cleanup and purging

If you need to restore contacts previously cleared by a scheduled task, check to ensure that an
existing scheduled task does not clear the contacts the next time it runs. For example, re-open the
contacts, cancel the scheduled task that originally cleared them, or change the cleanup rule that
the contacts matched.
The Cleanup History list shows all previously-completed scheduled tasks that cleared contacts. It
provides the following information for each task:
• The task name.
• The execution date of the task.
• The number of contacts that the task cleared from the MULTIMEDIA database.
• The number of customers whose contacts the task cleared from the database.
• The number of campaigns for which the task cleared contacts from the database (only for
tasks with an Outbound rule).
• The restore status of the task.

Note:
Avaya recommends running one cleanup task at a time. Where more than one cleanup task is
run a contact might be included in each cleanup. Restoring any of the cleanups successfully
moves the contact into the active database.

Procedure
1. In the Data Management utility, select Restore.
2. In the navigation pane, select Restore.
3. In the Cleanup History screen, review the list of completed scheduled cleanup tasks.
4. Select the scheduled task that cleared the contacts that you want to restore.
5. Click Restore.
6. On the CCMM Cleanup Restore window, click Yes.
Contact Center schedules a task to restore the contacts, and shows the start time in the
Restore Status field. When the restore task starts, the Restore Status field shows the
task progress.

Chapter 16: Data Management - customer
privacy

The Multimedia Data Management utility includes a Customer Privacy tab that allows you to act on
privacy requests from contact center customers. The following customer privacy requests can be
addressed using the Multimedia Data Management utility:
• If a customer exercises their right to access information, you can provide customers with
information stored about them in the Voice, MULTIMEDIA, and OFFLINE databases. You can
save this information in an XML file, which can be modified before you provide it to the
customer. The file contains all relevant customer information.
• If a customer exercises the right to be forgotten, you can delete their history records from the
Voice, MULTIMEDIA, and OFFLINE databases. In High Availability solutions, the records are
also deleted from standby and RGN servers.

Note:
To prevent deletion of contacts not yet handled by agents, a customer’s history records can
be fully deleted only when all of their contacts are in a closed status. For example, a
customer with contacts in new or open status cannot not be deleted.

Chapter 17: Orchestration Designer
example flow applications

This chapter describes how to create three example flow applications using Orchestration Designer
(OD) that provide either estimated wait time or position in queue information to customers, or
provide customers with the option to leave a voice mail if all agents are busy. These flow
applications use Avaya Contact Center Select default sample data; you can use these example
flows in your contact center.
This chapter also provides a brief description of how to install and use OD. You can use OD to
create and manage flow applications to route contacts to an appropriate queue in the contact center.
For more detailed information about Orchestration Designer and using Orchestration Designer in
your contact center, see Using Contact Center Orchestration Designer.

1 View tabs: The tabs located across the top of the Application editor represent main pages and
block editors for the flow applications on which you work.
2 Palette bar: The icons represent blocks that you can use to build your Contact Center
applications. The blocks you see depend on the switch you use in your Contact Center.
3 Local view: The Local view provides a user work space on a desktop to work with copies of the
variables and applications.
4 Application Manager Data folder contains a list of all the agents, skillsets, CDNs, and DNISs.
Applications folder contains a list of all the applications in the system. Applications are used to
control how contacts are routed through the Contact Center and the treatment each contact
receives.
Applications Variables contains a list of all the variables in the system. Variables are used to
change the nature of a flow at run time without changing the application.

You can also start Orchestration Designer from the Apps screen.
If you start Orchestration Designer from the Apps screen, you can create and work with
applications and variable data in a local version of Orchestration Designer without affecting the
working contact center.
The local version of Orchestration Designer allows you to perform the following tasks:
• Access all information without restrictions by access classes.
• Perform updates without affecting your Contact Center applications.
• Create applications using Orchestration Designer before the rest of the Contact Center
software is installed.
By default, the Local and Problems views appear in your Orchestration Designer window. The top
right corner is reserved for the script or flow application editor.
If you start Orchestration Designer from the Contact Center Manager Administration application,
there are no partition restrictions. You log on to Contact Center Manager Administration as an
administrator and work with blocks and variables in Orchestration Designer as an administrator.
Only one instance of Orchestration Designer can run at a time.

problem.

Configuring a flow application to provide estimated wait


time information
About this task
Create a new graphical flow application in Orchestration Designer that provides an estimated wait
time to customers if a particular skillset is busy or out of service. This example uses Avaya
Contact Center Select default sample data such as:
• The SimpleQueueing application template as a starting point.
• The Skill1 skillset.
• The Sample_Music Route, number 511. This corresponds to the default Sample_Music
content group in CCMA Prompt Management, which includes two sample music files.
This example flow application uses custom media files, uploaded to the en_us content group using
CCMA Prompt Management:
Prompt name Prompt transcript Sample flow application using
this prompt
holdtime “The estimated hold time is QueuingWithEstWaitTime
currently”
seconds “seconds” QueuingWithEstWaitTime

Configuring a flow application to provide a queuing


customer with the option to leave a voice mail
About this task
Create a new graphical flow application in Orchestration Designer that allows a customer to leave
a voice mail if all agents are busy. This example uses Avaya Contact Center Select default sample
data such as:
• The SimpleQueueing application template as a starting point.
• The Skill1 skillset.
• The InvalidEntry_CS script variable. This variable corresponds to the InvalidEntry_CS prompt
that informs customers that they have inputted an invalid entry.
• The Voicemail_gv script variable. This variable corresponds to a Voicemail Pro DN number.
The default value of Voicemail_gv is the value entered in the Ignition Wizard configuration
utility at install time. You can change the DN number for the Voicemail_gv script variable
using the Scripting component in CCMA.
This example flow application uses a custom media file, uploaded to the en_us content group
using CCMA Prompt Management:
Prompt name Prompt transcript Sample flow application using
this prompt
VoiceMailOption “We are sorry for this delay. If you LeaveVoiceMail
wish, press 1 now to be routed to
our voice mail system to leave a
message for one of our experts,
or press 2 to remain queuing.”
Note:
This prompt is not available in Avaya Contact Center Select by default. You must supply this custom

Chapter 18: Avaya Aura® Media Server
media configuration

Avaya Aura® Media Server (Avaya Aura® MS) provides default media for standard ringback and
busy tones in a SIP-enabled contact center. Contact Center uses these default tones with SIP-
enabled phone calls.
Continuous streaming media
Avaya Aura® MS supports the configuration of a continuously streamed source for music. To use
continuous streamed source, you can configure either a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) provider
or a HTTP/MP3 provider from which the Avaya Aura® MS can provide music to the Contact Center.
Avaya Aura® MS supports up to 64 music streams across all of the supported providers.
Avaya Aura® MS Element Manager (EM) has a page for monitoring the status of music streaming
providers. EM displays statistics for each stream, which include bandwidth and the codec being
used. When song metadata is available, EM displays details about the current song being played,
including the song title and artist name.
To use streamed music in Contact Center Orchestration Designer (OD) flow applications, you create
routes in Contact Center Manager Administration (CCMA) that link to the RSS or HTTP/MP3 Stream
Key configured on Avaya Aura® MS. The OD flow applications reference these routes to access the
streamed music.
Real Simple Syndication (RSS) provider:
An RSS provider can be used to centrally manage music streams that have music files hosted on a
remote web server. The media server downloads an RSS document specified by a URL. The media
server downloads each file specified in the RSS document to a local cache.
The media server uses the RSS title element in the document as the title for the files in the cache.
The files play in alphabetical order. The RSS provider on the media server supports audio files in
WAV and MP3 formats. Avaya recommends that audio to be played by Avaya Aura® MS is encoded
in G.711 or 16 bit, 8 kHz, single channel, PCM files. You can use codecs other than PCM, or with
higher sampling rates for higher quality recordings; however, this reduces system performance. The
RSS provider on the media server does not support multiple channels or stereo.
• The audio must be encoded in MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3), MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) or
WAV.
• The maximum RSS document size is 256 KB.
The Time To Live (TTL) element in an RSS document specifies how many minutes an RSS channel
can be cached on the media server before refreshing from the source. The minimum TTL value is 1
minute.

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 265


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Avaya Aura® Media Server media configuration

The GUID element in an RSS document uniquely identifies an RSS item. If an RSS item title,
enclosure type, URL, or the associated file changes, then the GUID must be updated. If a GUID
changes, then the media server refreshes the specified content.
Avaya Aura® MS uses cached files to provide continuous streaming service when the RSS URL
becomes unreachable. If you update or delete the RSS URL, then the files in the cache are deleted.
The RSS document must be formatted correctly. The maximum RSS document size is 256 KB. The
following example shows an RSS document with correct formatting:

HTTP/MP3 provider:
The HTTP/MP3 provider supports SHOUTCast ICY streams and HTTP/MP3.
Most streaming radio stations on the internet stream over HTTP/MP3. Many of the stations use the
SHOUTCast ICY protocol. Typically, a SHOUTCast stream provides a playlist in a .pls or .m3u file.

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 266


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Logging on to Avaya Aura® Media Server Element Manager

The .pls file is known as a Winamp playlist. Winamp playlist files have HTTP URL entries that
reference audio streams.
In some cases the URLs inside the playlist can use nonstandard HTTP ports. You must configure
the HTTP proxy on the media server when the HTTP/MP3 server returns documents containing
URLs on HTTP ports that are not permitted through the firewall.
The HTTP/MP3 provider on Avaya Aura® MS supports stereo and mono MP3 streams. When the
specified radio station supports metadata, the media server accepts the song title and artist
information as it is received in real-time. Element Manager displays the current song title and artist
on the monitoring page.
Avaya Aura® MS supports only MP3 SHOUTCast streams. Avaya Aura® MS does not support
Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). To ensure that the HTTP/MP3 stream is compatible with Avaya
Aura® MS:
• The audio must be encoded in MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) or MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 (MP3).
• Avaya Aura MS supports the following MPEG-1 sample rates: 32000, 44100, and 48000 Hz.
• Avaya Aura MS supports the following MPEG-2 sample rates: 22050, 24000, and 16000 Hz.
• Avaya Aura MS supports the following bit rates: 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 256 and 320 kbps.
• The content type for playlists must be audio/x-scpls or audio/x-mpegurl.
• The content type for audio must specify audio/mpeg, audio/x-mpeg, or application/octet-
stream.
• The server can respond with ICY 200 OK or standard HTTP 200 OK responses.
• Avaya Aura MS supports the ICY MetaData update mechanism. Use of this update mechanism
is optional.
• Avaya Aura MS supports VLC and Icecast streaming sources, if the codec and content type
used are also supported.
The Avaya Aura® MS HTTP/MP3 provider automatically records 15 minutes of content. The
recorded content provides a backup when the streaming server is unreachable.
Avaya Aura® Media Server scripted music
Avaya Aura® MS supports the configuration of a continuously streamed source for scripted music.
Configure Avaya Aura® MS to supply only scripted music treatments inserted in to a voice call by a
Contact Center Orchestration Designer (OD) flow application.
Scripted music plays from an Avaya Aura® Media Server content store as a continuous stream.

Chapter 20: REST API configuration

Contact Center allows you to invoke REST API in a Contact Center workflow. REST
(Representational state transfer) provides efficient scalable services for web communications.
A Contact Center workflow can request data using scripting commands, and the workflow uses the
TfeRestService to request and retrieve data from the REST API.
The Contact Center workflows pass JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data to the TfeRestService,
which identifies the REST API to invoke and populates the REST API parameters. The data
returned from the API is reconfigured into a JSON object and then passed back to the workflow.
Contact Center supports generic REST API exposed as a URL end-point and query string
parameters.
For more information about creating and configuring Contact Center workflows for REST API
integration, see Using Contact Center Orchestration Designer.
TFE REST Configurator
Contact Center provides an application to configure and test REST API calls. The TFE REST
Configurator allows you to configure your REST API end-point and parameters, and to test your
configuration. If you receive a successful response after you send the test request, you can then
save your configuration to the database. You can use the application to create GET, POST, PUT, or
DELETE requests.
You can also add environments using the TFE REST Configurator. Environments enable the use of
environment variables. An environment variable is shared across all requests associated with the
environment. For example, a service defines a security access token that must be included in the
header of all requests for that service. Contact Center provides a default environment named ‘No
environment’. You cannot delete this environment. When you create a new request it is
automatically associated with the default environment, unless you select an alternative environment
that you previously created. The TfeRestService replaces any environment variables in the request
with the variable value that you set when creating the environment.
REST API security
Using the TFE REST Configurator, you can configure the following authorization protocols:
• No Auth
• Basic Auth
• OAuth 2.0

Chapter 21: Avaya Contact Center Select
routine maintenance

This chapter describes how to maintain the Avaya Contact Center Select software and server. You
must maintain Avaya Contact Center Select to protect against data loss and to ensure that you are
using the most recent software.
The Avaya Aura® Media Server software appliance does not support root account access, therefore
it has distinct routine maintenance instructions. When maintaining the Avaya Aura® Media Server
software appliance, use the procedures specific to the software appliance. You use the Avaya Aura®
Media Server Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) file to create a VMware-based Avaya Aura® Media
Server software appliance.
Database maintenance
Perform an immediate backup of the Avaya Contact Center Select databases to save the current
data. It is important to complete this procedure after you complete your installation or when any
significant change occurs in the database, so that you can restore the database easily. Perform
backups during low traffic periods. Avaya Contact Center Select services are not shut down during
backups. Back up the databases to a secure network location. Schedule regular backups of the
Avaya Contact Center Select databases to ensure resiliency against media failure or data loss. You
can also restore the database content to your server using the Database Maintenance utility.
Avaya Contact Center Select logs a warning message when a there has not been a scheduled or
manual backup for a specified number of days. You can configure the number of days before Avaya
Contact Center Select logs the warning. The default is seven days. The Database Maintenance
Utility also displays the time that has elapsed since the last backup.

Chapter 23: Licensing administration

The Contact Center License Manager (LM) controls the licensing for Avaya Contact Center Select.
Contact Center License Manager provides central control and administration of application licensing
for all of the elements of Avaya Contact Center Select.
If Contact Center is not able to communicate with Contact Center License Manager it continues to
function for a period of time. This is called a grace period. If the grace period expires, Contact
Center shuts down and locks. You cannot restart Contact Center without resetting the grace period.
Important:
Avaya Aura® Media Server does not support the grace period. In a Hardware Appliance
deployment of Avaya Contact Center Select, if the licensing services stop, Avaya Aura® Media
Server stops and Contact Center ceases processing voice contacts.
This chapter describes how to configure Contact Center License Manager for your contact center.

Resetting the grace period


Before you begin
• You must apply separate unlock codes for the CCMS Control Service and the ASM Service.
Repeat this procedure for each service.
• Obtain a Grace Period Unlock Code from Product Support.
About this task
If Contact Center is not able to communicate with Contact Center License Manager, normal
operation of the Contact Center Manager Server continues for a period of time called a grace
period.
If the grace period expires, Contact Center shuts down and locks. You cannot restart Contact
Center without resetting the grace period.
When a communication error occurs, an event is fired to the Server Utility. The Server Utility
records the details, the time elapsed in the Grace Period and a Grace Period Lock Code. These
details must be sent to Product Support to obtain a Grace Period Unlock Code. Use this Grace
Period Unlock Code to unlock the server and continue working.

This section describes the configuration you must perform on IP Office to support dialed number
identification service (DNIS) on Avaya Contact Center Select.
DNIS is an optional service that Avaya Contact Center Select uses to identify the phone number
dialed by the incoming caller. Avaya Contact Center Select uses direct dial-in (DDI) information it
receives from IP Office to route calls to appropriate skillsets or agents based on DNIS numbers.
You must also configure DNIS numbers in Contact Center Manager Administration. For more
information about configuring DNIS numbers in Contact Center Manager Administration, see
Administering Avaya Contact Center Select.

Configuring DNIS on IP Office


About this task
A dialed number identification service (DNIS) is an optional service that Avaya Contact Center
Select uses to identify the phone number dialed by the incoming caller. Avaya Contact Center
Select uses direct dial-in (DDI) information it receives from IP Office to route calls to appropriate
skillsets or agents based on DNIS numbers.
To configure DNIS for Avaya Contact Center Select, you must configure an Incoming Call Route
number on IP Office that corresponds to an Avaya Contact Center Select DNIS number. You must
then add an IP Office short code as a destination for the Incoming Call Route. Each IP Office short

Chapter 25: Secure SIP and CTI
communication configuration

This section describes how to configure secure SIP and CTI communication between Avaya Contact
Center Select (ACCS) and IP Office (IPO).
ACCS uses SIP and custom CTI interfaces to communicate with IPO.
IPO supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) communication for the SIP and CTI connections with
ACCS .
TLS is a public key encryption cryptographic protocol that helps secure a communications channel
from danger or loss, and thus helps provide privacy and safety. With public key cryptography, two
keys are created, one public and one private.
Certificate Authorities (CA) issue and manage server certificates in software security systems that
use public key technologies, such as telecoms systems that use Transport Layer Security (TLS)
communication.
When you get a signed server certificate and a corresponding root certificate from a CA, you install
the certificates on the server system that requested the certificate, for example IP Office. You then
install the root certificate into the Trusted Store of the client system(s), for example ACCS. This
allows the client systems to request secure communications with the server systems.
Both ACCS and IPO can request secure communications of the other. Therefore, you must generate
a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and get a signed server certificate from a CA on both ACCS
and IPO. Both ACCS and IPO must have a root certificate to match the server certificates. When
these are in place, IP Office and ACCS can communicate securely using TLS SIP and TLS CTI
connections.

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 307

Secure SIP and CTI communication configuration

Figure 10: ACCS and IPO secure SIP communication configuration using Certificate Authority

For example, if your IP Office uses Certificate Authority “CA1”, and if ACCS uses a Certificate
Authority “CA2”, then:
• The ACCS Security Store contains a server certificate supplied and signed by the ACCS
Certificate Authority (CA2) and the IP Office Certificate Authority (CA1) root certificate.
• The IP Office Trusted Security Store contains the ACCS Certificate Authority (CA2) root
certificate.
• IP Office and ACCS can use the same Certificate Authority. Therefore, “CA1” and “CA2” can be
the same Certificate Authority.
A server certificate must be signed by a CA; ACCS Security Manager does not sign certificates.
Avaya recommends that you use third-party CA or your organization’s Certificate Authority to sign
your server certificates.
Certificate Authority deployments vary depending on IT infrastructure and security requirements.
You can use either a third party CA, or configure your own CA within your IT infrastructure.
The SIP and CTI links between Avaya Contact Center Select and IP Office use the Transport Layer
Security (TLS) protocol to provide secure communication. TLS uses signed security certificates to
secure the link between the Avaya Contact Center Select and the IP Office.
The Avaya Contact Center Select Security Manager can request and store these signed security
certificates. The ACCS Security Manager generates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file. A
Certificate Authority uses this Certificate Signing Request file to create a signed certificate. ACCS
Security Manager then imports and stores Certificate Authority supplied root certificates and signed
certificates.
In ACCS solutions using IP Office and ACCS Business Continuity resiliency, the active and standby
Avaya Contact Center Select servers can both have TLS certificates in place to communicate
securely with the IP Office server and to support Business Continuity switchover.

Next steps
Send the Certificate Signing Request file to the Certificate Authority, and receive a signed server
certificate, so that you can import the server certificate to the security store.

Copying the Certificate Signing Request file


Before you begin
• Speak with your System Administrator to identify a Certificate Authority.
About this task
Security Manager automatically generates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) when it creates a
new security store. The Security Manager—Certificate Request tab displays the name, location,
and contents of the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file on the server. A Certificate Authority
uses this Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file to generate a signed server certificate. Contact
Center uses the signed server certificate to establish secure communication links with IP Office,
the Agent Browser application, and Web Services clients.
Until you add a signed server certificate, the Signing Request Status field shows the CSR status
as Pending. When the CSR is signed, and you add it to the security store using the “Add
Certificate Tab”, the status changes to “Signed” to indicate that this CSR has been signed.
Procedure
1. Log on to the Contact Center server containing the security store.
2. On the Apps screen, in the Avaya section, select Security Manager.

file to obtain a signed certificate. Send the Certificate Signing Request file to a Certificate Authority
and receive a signed server certificate and root certificate to import into the security store.

Adding certificate files to the security store


Before you begin
• Use the CSR file from the Contact Center Security Manager to obtain a Certificate Authority
(CA) signed server certificate and root certificate.
• Save the certificate files on the Contact Center server.
About this task
Contact Center Security Manager can add both CA root certificates and signed server certificates
to the security store. Contact Center requires a signed server certificate and a corresponding CA
root certificate to communicate using secure services.
There are two options when adding CA root and signed server certificates.
Automatically adding certificates :
You can select a folder that contains signed server and root certificates. Security Manager
accesses this folder and automatically determines which are server certificates and which are root
certificates and then adds them to the security store accordingly.
Important:
Security Manager attempts to import all files and certificates it finds in the certificate folder.
Ensure that the certificate folder contains only CA root certificates and server certificates.
Manually adding certificates :
For manually added certificates, you can browse for individual signed server and CA root
certificates and add them to the security store, one at a time. Security Manager checks the
certificates and does not add server certificates as root CA certificates.

Installing certificates across IP Office SCN


Before you begin
• For more information about configuring IP Office, refer to IP Office Manager online help and
documentation.
• For more information about configuring an IP Office Small Community Network, refer to IP
Office Web Manager online help and documentation.
About this task
A Small Community Network (SCN) is a system of networked IP Office telephone systems that
can, among other features, share extension numbers and user names. Each IP Office SCN
supports a single connected Avaya Contact Center Select.
If you configure TLS certificate checking for the TAPID CTI link between Avaya Contact Center
Select and an IP Office server in an SCN, you must also configure certificate checking for all TAPI
links in that SCN. This includes the TAPI SCN links between IP Office nodes in an IP Office SCN
environment.
The default certificate generated by each node is not generated from a single root. They are
generated from a local Certificate Authority (CA) root on each node and the local CA root certs are

Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Secure SIP and CTI communication configuration

not installed in the Trusted Store of any other node on the SCN. So by default the TAPI SCN links
might not pass TLS authentication once certificate checking is enabled. To overcome this potential
issue you must configure and install signed certificates and CA root certificates across all nodes in
the SCN. The procedure describes two methods of doing this.

Procedure
1. Method 1: This method is applicable if you are using custom certificates for IP Office.
Generate a signed certificate for each node in the SCN from a single CA, deploy the
signed certificates to each IP Office node and install the common CA root certificate to the
Trusted Store of all nodes in the network. For each IP Office node in the SCN:
a. Obtain a security certificate and install the signed certificate in IP Office. For more
information, see Obtaining security certificates for IP Office on page 324.
b. Install the certificate on the IP Office node. For more information, see Installing the
signed certificate in IP Office on page 324.
c. Install the CA root certificate that was used to sign the certificate in step (a) in the
Trusted Store of the IP Office node. For more information, see Adding the ACCS CA
root certificate to the IP Office trusted store on page 316.
2. Method 2: You can use one of the IP Office nodes as the CA server to generate the signed
certificates and provide the common CA root certificate. For each IP Office node in the
SCN:
a. Generate a security certificate using IP Office Web Manager. Use the same Web
Manager instance to generate all certificates, this ensures a common CA root
certificate is used for all certificates.
• i. Log on to IP Office Web Manager.
• ii. From Solution view, find the IP Office node you are configuring, click the
Settings icon on the right hand side and select Platform View.
• iii. Select Settings > General and scroll to the Certificates section.
• iv. Select Create certificate for a different machine.
• v. In the Machine IP box, enter the IP address of the IP Office node that the
certificate is being generated for.
• vi. In the Password box, enter a password. This password is required later when
importing the certificate on the IP Office node. The password must adhere to the
password complexity requirements as specified on the Certificates user interface.
• vii. In the Subject Name box, enter the FQDN or hostname of the IP Office node
that the certificate is being generated for.
• viii. In the Subject Alternate Name(s) box, enter the a string in the following
format: “DNS: “ + FQDN (or hostname) + “, IP: ” + ip address.
For example: “DNS: myserver.mycompany.com, IP: 10.134.120.130”
• ix. In the Duration box, enter the number of days after which the certificate expires.

Chapter 26: Administering security

Avaya Contact Center Select (ACCS) includes a number of services and connections that you can
secure using Transport Layer Security (TLS). You can use the Ignition Wizard to create a security
store, generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and import a Certificate Authority root
certificate. Use the procedures in this chapter to administer Web Services security, including turning
on security, backing up the security store, and modifying the security store inspection tasks.
The following Web services use the security store to implement HTTPS:
• Contact Center Manager Administration (CCMA)
• Contact Center Multimedia (CCMM) Administration
• Agent Desktop
• Multimedia Services
• Orchestration Designer
• Outbound Campaign Management Tool
• Agent Browser application
ACCS security store
ACCS includes a security store for securing both SIP communications and Web services. When you
configure the ACCS security store for SIP communications, it is ready for securing Web services.
The ACCS security store includes a server certificate and root certificate. ACCS also uses the
Internet Information Services (IIS) security store for some services.
Security Manager
Security Manager provides an interface for managing the security certificates in the ACCS security
store and the IIS security store. ACCS supports the management of the IIS security store only
through Security Manager: do not use IIS functions to manage the IIS security store on a ACCS
server. Security Manager supports importing chained certificates, and places these certificates in the
security store for distribution across the solution.
Supported TLS versions
Contact Center defaults to using only TLS 1.2 for secured services and connections. For backward
compatibility, Contact Center supports Administrators changing the minimum TLS version that
Contact Center can negotiate with other systems. This is to inter-operate with legacy systems that
do not support TLS 1.2. You can set minimum TLS versions separately for the following
connections:
• SIP signaling
• CCMA and CCMM administration

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 334


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
• Event Broker Web service (this setting also sets the minimum TLS version used for Web
Statistics)
If you change the CCMA and CCMM administration setting, the configuration applies the Windows
Server TLS settings, and affects all applications on the server that use Windows Server secure
communications technology.
When the Contact Center configuration is for a TLS version lower than 1.2, Contact Center still
attempts to negotiate the highest (and most secure) version first, before stepping down to a lower
(and less secure) version.
Avaya recommends that you maintain the TLS version settings at the highest possible TLS version,
and that you change these settings only when it is certain that parts of your overall contact center
solution do not work with the higher TLS version.
ACCS Business Continuity
In a Business Continuity (BC) system, the security stores must use Subject Alternative Names
(SANs). Include a SAN for the Managed name and the server name. This ensures clients
connecting to ACCS using the managed name do not get warnings that the signed certificate name
does not match the server name.
Certificate Authority root certificates
When a client initiates a secure connection with a server, it must have a root certificate from the CA
that provided the server signed certificate. If the client does not have a matching root certificate, it
does not complete the connection. If the client has a root certificate from a CA, it can trust any
server certificate signed by that CA.
To secure the ACCS Web services, you must export the root certificate from Security Manager, and
import it into all the ACCS clients (CCMA clients and Agent Desktop computers).
Avaya recommends that you use a single CA to sign all the certificates in your contact center. This
greatly simplifies the deployment process, because you need to distribute only a single root
certificate to all the clients. If you want to use different CAs to sign certificates for your different
servers, you must copy the root certificate from each CA to all the clients in your contact center.
For some Web services, servers can act as clients of other servers. Therefore you must ensure that
all servers also have the required CA root certificate(s).
Offline Store
You can create an offline store using Security Manager, which minimizes downtime if you want to
replace your current security store. When your offline store is created, you can swap between the
active store and the offline store. You can make the offline store the active store at any point using
Security Manager. You must stop Contact Center services before making the offline store active.
Security Store notifications
Security certificates contain an expiration date and they are not valid after this date. If the security
certificates used by ACCS expire, the contact center loses call control and stops functioning.
Security Manager provides a security store inspection utility to help you monitor and maintain valid
security certificates. You can use Security Manager to schedule a security store inspection task.
Security Manager adds the scheduled task to the underlying Windows Task Scheduler. The
scheduled task runs the security store inspection utility once a week. The inspection utility checks
the status of the security certificates in the ACCS security store. If any of the security certificates are

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 335


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Administering security

due to expire within a month, the inspection utility sends a notification email to the contact center
administrator. The contact center administrator must then refresh the security certificates.
Security Manager provides the notification email; it cannot renew expired security certificates. For
uninterrupted contact center functionality, if you receive an email about upcoming certificate
expiration dates, you must renew the security certificates before they expire.
Security Manager uses the Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler to schedule the weekly security store
inspection. You must ensure that there is a Microsoft Windows user account that has the necessary
privileges from which Security Manager can schedule a task on Windows Task Scheduler. You can
use the Windows administrator account that you used to install ACCS to add a task to Windows
Task Scheduler.
Security Manager uses a specified Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) server to send the
notification emails to the administrator’s email address. ACCS does not provide this SMTP server.
You must provision this SMTP server and ensure that the ACCS server can communicate with it at
all times. ACCS does not support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connectivity to this SMTP server.
Server Message Block signing on Windows Server
Both the Contact Center DVD and the Release Pack installer modify the Windows Server local
group policy to enable Server Message Block (SMB) signing. SMB signing places a digital “tag” into
each server message block, which helps prevent man-in-the-middle attacks on network file sharing.
If you do not want to use SMB signing, you can disable it by modifying the Windows Server local
group policy.

Exporting a root certificate from the security store

Chapter 27: CCMA Password Policy

CCMA Password Policy is a set of rules that Contact Center Manager Administration uses to
validate passwords of CCMA accounts. Contact Center Manager Administration provides two
Password Policy modes: Basic Security mode and Advanced Security mode. You can either use
default Basic Security mode with fixed rules or enable Advanced Security mode to configure custom
password rules.

Basic Security mode


This is a mode with fixed password rules, which you cannot change. By default, CCMA applies
these rules to all accounts.
Basic Security mode provides the following password rules:
• Must be between 8 and 20 characters long
• Must contain at least 1 number
• Must contain at least 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase character
• Must not contain any spaces
• Must not contain special characters, such as: double-quote, ampersand, colon, less than,
greater than, pipe ("" & : < > |)

Advanced Security mode


Advanced Security mode provides the ability to use the advanced password rules for CCMA
accounts validation, as well as configure custom CCMA Password Policy. When you enable
Advanced Security mode, CCMA starts validating new and previously created accounts against the
new CCMA Password Policy. When you create a password for a new user or update a password for
an existing user in Access and Partition Management or Contact Center Management, you can view
the current password rules by hovering the cursor over the Info icon.
Advanced Security mode provides separate password rules for human and programmatic accounts.
Human accounts are the accounts that you create for users and administrators. Programmatic
accounts are used for the non-interactive establishment of secure communication between internal
processes, for example, when using Web Services for integration with third-party applications. If
Advanced Security mode is enabled, you can configure an account as programmatic by selecting
the Programmatic account checkbox in the User Details section of Access and Partition
Management.

Configure the password rules for programmatic accounts. Programmatic accounts are the
accounts that you create for the non-interactive establishment of secure communication between
internal processes, for example, when using Web Services for integration with third-party
applications.
When you update CCMA Password Policy for programmatic accounts, CCMA starts using the
updated password rules to validate new and existing programmatic accounts.
Password validation occurs every time a user logs on to the system without using the CCMA user
interface, for example, when logging on to an integrated third-party application. If a password does
not comply with the updated password rules, a notification appears informing a user about the
invalid password and asking them to log on to CCMA for password change.

encryption key or its credentials, they are not retrievable. This can result in loss of service.
You can also use Security Manager to decrypt the Contact Center database.
Important:
You must perform Contact Center database encryption or decryption during a scheduled
maintenance window.
Business Continuity
In a Business Continuity (BC) solution, you must use the same encryption key on all Contact Center
servers in the solution. Contact Center supports BC solutions where the Active server database is
encrypted and the Standby server database is not encrypted, and vice versa. Database shadowing
remains operational regardless of the encryption status of the Contact Center database. This allows
you to minimize downtime while you implement database encryption in your solution. If you want to
encrypt the databases in a BC solution, you can use the following procedure to minimize downtime:
1. Stop all Contact Center services on the standby server system (Server B).
2. Encrypt the standby server database (Server B).
3. Start the standby server B. Ensure that you synchronize the data between the servers.
4. Run a manual switchover, the current standby Server B becomes an active server. Server B
is now running and processing contacts.
5. Stop all Contact Center services on Server A.
6. Encrypt the new standby server database (Server A). You must use the same encryption key
as you used to encrypt Server B.

Chapter 31: Language support
fundamentals

This chapter provides background information for Language support. If you want to use English
across all platforms, you can ignore this chapter.
Contact Center Multimedia (CCMM) and Contact Center Manager Administration (CCMA) support
the following languages:
• English
• French (FR)
• German (DE)
• Japanese (JA)
• Russian (RU)
• Simplified Chinese (Zh-CN)
• Latin American Spanish (ES)
• Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR)
• Italian (IT)
• Korean (KO)
The following table lists the compatibility between the CCMA language and the Operating System
(OS) language family. You can enable only compatible languages on the Contact Center server.
OS FR DE ES PT-BR IT Zh-CN JA RU KO
language
English Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No No

language
Simplified No No No No No Yes No No No
Chinese
Japanese No No No No No No Yes No No
Russian No No No No No No No Yes No
Korean No No No No No No No No Yes

You use the Contact Center Manager Administration Language Settings utility to enable additional
languages. Access the Language Settings utility from the CCMA Configuration screen. The English

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 377


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Language support fundamentals

language is always enabled and you cannot disable it. The Language Settings utility displays the
current server code page for the Contact Center server.
A code page is an internal table that the operating system uses to map symbols (letters, numerals,
and punctuation characters) to a number. Different code pages provide support for the character
sets used in different languages. Code pages have a number for reference; for example, code page
932 represents the Japanese character set, and code page 950 represents the Chinese character
set. In a Contact Center solution, on an English Contact Center server, the Server Code Page is
1252. On a Contact Center server with Japanese, the Server Code Page is 932.
Install the most recent Service Pack and patches to enable the localized languages in the CCMA
Language Settings utility. A Service Pack contains all supported languages. For CCMA, you can
enable only languages that are appropriate to the local operating system of the server. For example,
you can enable the simplified Chinese language on a simplified Chinese OS, but you cannot enable
German on a simplified Chinese OS. The client computers operating systems must be of the same
language family as the associated server. You can enable multiple languages from the same
language family on a single server.
If you enable a language in the Language Settings utility, users see the localized CCMA screens in
the preferred language that is set in their client browser. For example, if you enable Spanish in the
Language Settings utility, and if Spanish is the preferred language in Internet Explorer on the CCMA
client computer, then CCMA appears in Spanish in the CCMA client browser.
For some languages, translations can be different from the terms usually used in your region:
• French: The translation attempts to find terms that are acceptable to both Canadian and
European French speakers.
• Latin American (LA) Spanish: The translation attempts to find terms that are acceptable to both
Latin American and European Spanish speakers.

Read the Contact Center Service Pack Release Notes for further information. The Service Pack
Release Notes contain the most recent information about language support.

Note:
If the server code page changes, you can still change previously enabled languages. You must
disable the languages that are not supported.

Language levels
Contact Center Multimedia and Contact Center Manager Administration support two levels of
language environment:
• international environment
• international and local environment

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 378


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Language family compatibility

International environment
In the international environment, the graphical user interface, the online Help, and all reports are in
English. However, you can enter user information that contains non-ASCII characters (such as
agent and supervisor names). Also, you can manage date and time formats from a different
regional time zone.
International and local environment
In the combined international and local environment, the graphical user interface, the online Help,
and many reports are translated into one of the following supported languages: French, German,
Japanese, Italian, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, LA Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
Also, you can enter user information that contains non-ASCII characters and you can use date
and time formats from a different regional time zone. For details of the reports that are translated
for a particular language, see the Contact Center Service Pack Release Notes.
In this environment, you must install the most recent Service Pack on the Contact Center servers.
See the Service Pack Release Notes for further information.

Language family compatibility


For Contact Center Manager Administration to function properly, the language family of the
operating systems must be compatible across all platforms in the network. If the language
versions of the operating systems on the Contact Center Manager Server, Contact Center
Multimedia, Contact Center Manager Administration server, and the client PC belong to the same
language family, the platforms can coexist on the same network. This compatibility is useful if your
contact center supports multiple languages.
The character sets for English are included in all language families. Contact Center Multimedia
and Contact Center Manager Administration recognize the following language families:
• Latin-1
• Japanese
• Russian
• Simplified Chinese
• Korean
Latin-1 includes all Western European languages that use the Latin-1 character set. French,
German, Italian, LA Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese belong to the Latin-1 language family.
Agents in the contact center can view Contact Center Manager Administration and Contact Center
Multimedia in English, French, German, LA Spanish, Italian, or Brazilian Portuguese. For Latin-1
language family and server compatibility, see the Contact Center Localization Release Notes for
further information.
If you use the Japanese language family, users in the same contact center can view Contact
Center Manager Administration and Contact Center Multimedia in English or Japanese. If you use
the Simplified Chinese language family, users in the same contact center can view Contact Center
Manager Administration and Contact Center Multimedia in English or Simplified Chinese. If you

Appendix A: Server name or IP address
change - hardware appliance
or DVD install

This Appendix describes the procedures you must perform to change the name or IP address of the
Avaya Contact Center Select hardware appliance or an Avaya Contact Center Select server. You
must perform a server name or IP address change during a Contact Center maintenance window.
Important:
Avaya Contact Center Select does not support changing the server name or IP address of
servers configured for Business Continuity. Avaya recommends that you configure the final
production name of the Avaya Contact Center Select servers before configuring Business
Continuity.

Avaya Contact Center Select server name change


Change the name of the Avaya Contact Center Select server. You must also change the server
name of Avaya Aura® Media Server. The new host name of the server must meet the
specifications of the server names in the Contact Center suite.
Security considerations
If you change the name of a secured Contact Center server, Avaya recommends that you create a
new security store with a server certificate that matches the new server name.
Each server certificate has a name, which normally derives from the server Fully Qualified Domain
Name (FQDN). If a server certificate name does not match the name of the website or web service
to which a client connects, the client generates a warning. Normally on a GUI, a user can bypass
the warning and continue. If the client is a service on another system, it does not handle and
bypass the warning unless coded to do so.
If you change the server name and do not change the server certificate, users always see
warnings when they connect to Contact Center web services.
Solutions that require server certificates
• Solutions that use TLS security for the CTI link to IP Office.

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 385


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Server name or IP address change - hardware appliance or DVD install

• Solutions using the Agent Browser application. These always use TLS security for the Agent
Browser application client.
• Solutions on which you enabled Web Services security.
• Solutions using Secure Real Time Protocol for voice traffic.
Preparing a server certificate before changing the server name
If you use an external Certificate Authority (CA), it can sometimes take an extended period to
receive a signed server certificate after submitting your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to the
CA. To minimize the time elapsed for a server name change, you can create a CSR and request
and receive a new server certificate before changing the server name. The following high-level
procedures outline how to create a new CSR to send to the CA.
Important:
If the CA you use to sign the new server certificate is different to the CA you used to sign the
old server certificate, you must also distribute a new root certificate to all the relevant clients
and servers after changing the server name and applying the new server certificate.
To create a new CSR in the Contact Center security store using Security Manager:
• Schedule a maintenance window for this task, because you must stop the Contact Center
services.
• In Security Manager, back up the Contact Center security store.
• Delete the existing security store.
• Create a new security store, specifying the planned new server name as the common name
for the certificate.
• Copy the CSR content from the new security store, to send to the CA to request a server
certificate.
• Restore the Contact Center security store that you backed up.
You can now use the CSR you generated to request a server certificate from a CA. When the CA
provides the new server certificate, you can schedule the Contact Center server name change.
In Avaya Aura® Media Server, you can create a new CSR at any time without stopping the server
or impacting the existing certificates. Create a new CSR to request a new server certificate from a
CA. When the CA provides the new server certificate, you can schedule the server name change.

Avaya Contact Center Select server name change prerequisites


• Ensure that the new server name is unique.
• Ensure that the new server name is from 6 to 15 characters and that the first character is
alphabetical.
• Ensure that the new server name contains no underscores (_), spaces ( ), or punctuation.

Appendix B: Server name or IP address
change - software appliance

This Appendix describes the procedures you must perform to change the server names or IP
addresses of the Avaya Contact Center Select software appliance. You must perform a server name
or IP address change during a Contact Center maintenance window.
Important:
Avaya Contact Center Select does not support changing the server name or IP address of
servers configured for Business Continuity. Avaya recommends that you configure the final
production name of the Avaya Contact Center Select servers before configuring Business
Continuity.

Avaya Contact Center Select server name change


Change the name of the Avaya Contact Center Select server. The new name of the server must
meet the specifications of the server names in the Contact Center suite.
Security considerations
If you change the name of a secured Contact Center server, Avaya recommends that you create a
new security store with a server certificate that matches the new server name.
Each server certificate has a name, which normally derives from the server Fully Qualified Domain
Name (FQDN). If a server certificate name does not match the name of the website or web service
to which a client connects, the client generates a warning. Normally on a GUI, a user can bypass
the warning and continue. If the client is a service on another system, it does not handle and
bypass the warning unless coded to do so.
If you change the server name and do not change the server certificate, users always see
warnings when they connect to Contact Center web services.
Solutions that require server certificates
• Solutions that use TLS security for the CTI link to IP Office.
• Solutions using the Agent Browser application. These always use TLS security for the Agent
Browser application client.
• Solutions on which you enabled Web Services security.

April 2022 Avaya Contact Center Select Advanced Administration 398


Comments on this document? infodev@avaya.com
Avaya Contact Center Select server name change

• Solutions using Secure Real Time Protocol for voice traffic.


Preparing a server certificate before changing the server name
If you use an external Certificate Authority (CA), it can sometimes take an extended period to
receive a signed server certificate after submitting your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to the
CA. To minimize the time elapsed for a server name change, you can create a CSR and request
and receive a new server certificate before changing the server name. The following high-level
procedures outline how to create a new CSR to send to the CA.
Important:
If the CA you use to sign the new server certificate is different to the CA you used to sign the
old server certificate, you must also distribute a new root certificate to all the relevant clients
and servers after changing the server name and applying the new server certificate.
To create a new CSR in the Contact Center security store using Security Manager:
• Schedule a maintenance window for this task, because you must stop the Contact Center
services.
• In Security Manager, back up the Contact Center security store.
• Delete the existing security store.
• Create a new security store, specifying the planned new server name as the common name
for the certificate.
• Copy the CSR content from the new security store, to send to the CA to request a server
certificate.
• Restore the Contact Center security store that you backed up.
You can now use the CSR you generated to request a server certificate from a CA. When the CA
provides the new server certificate, you can schedule the Contact Center server name change.
In Avaya Aura® Media Server, you can create a new CSR at any time without stopping the server
or impacting the existing certificates. Create a new CSR to request a new server certificate from a
CA. When the CA provides the new server certificate, you can schedule the server name change.

Avaya Contact Center Select server name change prerequisites


• Ensure that the new server name is unique.
• Ensure that the new server name is from 6 to 15 characters and that the first character is
alphabetical.
• Ensure that the new server name contains no underscores (_), spaces ( ), or punctuation.

Turning off Web Services security


About this task
Turn off Web Services security before you rename the server. If Web Services security is not
enabled on your contact center, you can skip this procedure.
