Licensing
Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound is licensed with the following options:
1. Agent capabilities are licensed as inbound voice, outbound voice, and e-
mail. Licensing is enforced by Contact Center Manager Server. The
Contact Center Manager Server does not allow contacts to be routed to an
agent who is not configured with the specific media attributes of the contact
to be routed. Agent media attributes are configured on a per-medium basis
(outbound or e-mail) in Contact Center Manager Administration.
Note: The Outbound license type encompasses scheduled callbacks
inserted into the system using web services in a third-party integration or
web site integration. The e-mail license encompasses all contacts that come
in via the E-Mail Manager, for example, e-mail, fax, SMS, and scanned
white mail.
2. The Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server is licensed and is
provided with the base package of the system. The license must be present
for the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server database and web
services to start.
3. Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound Redundancy is licensed. The license
must be present so you can install the Multimedia Redundancy server.
4. Contact Center Outbound is licensed separately. In addition to the Contact
Center Multimedia base package, the Contact Center Outbound base
package is required. The two licences must be present so that you can start
the Outbound Configuration Management Tool.
For more information about the specific licensing for your component, see
Appendix B, “Feature licensing.”
Network components
Server components
The Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server resides on the Nortel subnet.
The Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound gathers information about agents,
skillsets, and route points from Contact Center Manager Administration for
administrators to configure the Multimedia and Outbound settings. In turn, the
multimedia-specific configurations, such as the outbound scheduler or e-mail
rules are returned to Contact Center Manager Administration to route contacts.
The Contact Center Manager server resides on the Nortel subnet and handles the
routing and reporting of contacts in the Contact Center.
The Communication Control Toolkit resides on the Nortel subnet and maps
resources such as users and workstations that are configured in Contact Center
Manager Administration to active telephone lines.
Clients
From a client, an agent can type a URL into a web browser to pull the Contact
Center Agent Desktop application from the Contact Center Multimedia/
Outbound server to their desktop. The agent uses the Contact Center Agent
Desktop to handle the following types of contacts: inbound voice, outbound
voice, e-mail, and web communications.
From any client running the Contact Center Manager Administration web client,
supervisors or administrators can open the Outbound Campaign Management
Tool to create outbound campaigns and load them in to the Contact multimedia
database for execution.

In this section
Step 6. Provide local users with the Log on as a service right 74
Step 7. Configure the shared inbound and outbound attachment folders 79
Step 8. Configure Internet Information Services (IIS) 91
Step 9. Verify the Multimedia database installation 94
Step 10. Other postinstallation tasks 97
You must configure two user types to access Contact Center Multimedia/
Outbound software. These user types are:
CCMMOPSUSR —The E-mail Manager service runs under the
CCMMOPSUSR account instead of the local system account so that this
service has permissions to stream attachment files to the inbound folder and
attach files to outgoing e-mail from the outbound folder. These permissions
must be attached to the folders. You must also set the password of the
CCMMOPSUSR so that the password never expires.
IUSR_<Servername>—The IUSR account is an IIS account used for all
communication between the Multimedia server and the Agent Desktop over
HTTPS (except for Communication Control Toolkit events over a
configurable port). Agents read and attach files through HTTP rather than
an open share, therefore, the attachment directories are defined as web
folders in IIS.
Note: You must configure CCMMOPSUSR only if you are licensed for e-mail
in your contact center.
6 Click Locations.
7 In the Locations window, select the Contact Center Multimedia server name
from the list.

5 On the General tab, select the check box Password Never Expires.
6 Click OK.
This procedure is optional. If you do not have a license for the E-mail Manager,
proceed directly to “Step 9. Verify the Multimedia database installation” on page
94.
You must provide access to a shared location for inbound and outbound e-mail
attachments. These shared locations must be shared for the user types you
configured in “Step 6. Provide local users with the Log on as a service right” on
page 74.
Use the procedures in this section to configure the shared folders with the
required access permissions.
ATTENTION
Risk of backup failure
Nortel recommends that you use the default attachment
locations defined in this section. If required, you can choose a
different location for the inbound and outbound shared e-mail
folders. If you choose a different location, you must ensure
that you:

Description Done
Client software
Clients have one of the following operating systems: Windows
❑
2000 Professional with service pack 4 or Windows XP
Professional with service pack 2
❑
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 with service pack 1 (See “Step
12. Install .NET Framework on clients” on page 103)
❑
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi (See “Step 13. Configure access
to client applications” on page 105”)
❑
Internet Explorer 5.5 or later
The .NET Framework version 1.1 and .NET service pack 1 must be installed on
the clients before you can run an application such as the Contact Center Agent
Desktop application or the Outbound Campaign Management Tool.
Note: You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET
Framework on the same client. If you want to view .NET Framework
applications in a different language, you must download the appropriate
language version of the .NET Framework language pack.
5 Verify that the version is 1.1.4322. If the version is not correct, you must
install the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
6 Click Close.
7 Close the Add and Remove Programs window.
The Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound Campaign Management Tool
applications are based on Microsoft .NET technology. The .NET deployment
model is based on clients pulling the latest version of an application from a Web
server. This .NET deployment provides the benefit of deploying a thick client
using thin-client technology and the ability to automatically update the
applications based on updates and patches on the server.
Accessing the Web server introduces the potential for a client to download
malicious code. The following information provides the procedures to set the
security and to deploy the Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound
Campaign Management Tool with minimal risk.
Note: If a client is outside the Multimedia server domain, then make the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file available to the client from a secure network
drive.
Manual installation
1 Log on to the client as the local administrator.
2 Ensure Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration Tool is not open.
3 Double-click CCMM_Security_Policy.msi to install the file.
Result: The security policy file is applied.
SMS
Because installation procedures through an SMS system can vary from one
company to the next, follow your company guidelines to install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file for the SMS clients on your network. For more
information, see the documentation on the Microsoft web site at
http://www.microsoft.com.
Group policy
In addition to using an SMS server, a system administrator can install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file on clients within the same domain using a
Windows group policy. For details, see document 324750 on the Microsoft
knowledge base.
3 Verify that you see Code Groups named CCMM and SHDocVw as shown
below.
What is next?
Begin configuring the other components required for routing Multimedia
contacts. For more information, see “Step 14. Configure phonesets on the switch
for each agent” on page 110.
In this section
Step 14. Configure phonesets on the switch for each agent 110
Step 15. Create a Windows user for each agent 111
Step 16. Configure the e-mail server 112
You must ensure that the phonesets are configured on the switch. For more
information, see the Contact Center, Communication Server 1000/Meridian 1
and Voice Processing Guide.
You need to configure phonesets for agents that handle voice or outbound
contacts. Agents who handle only e-mail contacts do not require a phoneset.
Create a terminal number (TN) entry for each contact center agent ❑
as per instructions in the Contact Center Manager Server
Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Ensure that key 0 has Automatic call distribution call (ACD) ❑
functionality. TNs can be configured with a Contact Center
Manager Server-specific ACD queue or a normal ACD queue used
for both voice and media.
Enable Associated Set Assignment (AST) for the ACD key and for ❑
one of the other personal DN keys.
Note: AST can only be configured on a maximum of two keys.
A Windows user account defines the actions a user can perform. You must create
each user on the domain used by the contact center for agent resources.
Security
To improve the security of a password, use at least two of these elements:
uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. The more random the
sequence of characters, the more secure the password.
This step must only be completed if you are licensed for e-mail contacts in your
Multimedia contact center.
Configure and create the required mailboxes to use with Contact Center
Multimedia. Use the documentation supplied with your e-mail server software to
configure the mailboxes to be used for receiving contacts.
What is next?
Configure the required elements in the Contact Center Manager Server. For
more information, see “Step 17. Enable Open Queue” on page 114.
In this section
Step 17. Enable Open Queue 114
Step 18. Ensure the CCT server is configured 117
Note: If a large number of contacts are queued and Contact Center Manager
Server is restarted, Contact Center Manager server queues 5000 contacts per
hour. A period of time can elapse before your contacts are displayed in Real-
Time displays or assigned to agents.
The License Manager must contain the correct license information to provide
Open Queue feature. For a description of the licensing, see Appendix B,
“Feature licensing.”
You must ensure that the Communication Control Toolkit server is configured in
Contact Center Manager Server.
1 In the Server Setup Configuration Utility window, click the CCT Server tab.

You must add and acquire each phoneset that an agent or supervisor uses to log
on to the system. When Contact Center Manager Server acquires a phoneset, the
Communication Server 1000/Meridian 1 PBX switch begins sending messages
about these phonesets to the system.
Note: After you save a phoneset, you cannot modify it. You must delete your
saved phoneset, then add a new phoneset to change the phoneset configuration.
Adding a phoneset
Note: Before you perform this procedure, you must configure the phoneset on
the switch. For more information, see “Step 14. Configure phonesets on the
switch for each agent” on page 110.
5 In the Name box, type the name of the phoneset as you want it to appear in

Acquired appears in the Status column.
Acquiring a phoneset
You must acquire each phoneset so that the switch sends a message to the system
when the agent logs on to the phoneset.
You must create skillsets for the contacts you are eligible to receive or send. You
must have at least one skillset for each type of contact. For this purpose, a
default skillset is created in Contact Center Manager Administration. For e-mail
contacts, you must configure a skillset for each mailbox from which you want to
send a reply.
5 In the next available row, in the Skillset Name box, type the name for the
skillset.
Note: If you are creating an e-mail skillset, the prefix EM_ must appear
before the skillset name. If you are creating an outbound skillset, the prefix
OB_ must appear before the name. If you are creating a Web
Communication skillset, WC_ must proceed the name. If you use any other
prefix, the skillset is assigned to voice contacts.
6 From the Default Activity Code list, select the activity code that is
registered whenever this skillset is used. This number must be defined in
the system already.
7 From the Threshold Class list, select the threshold class associated with
this skillset.
8 From the Call Age Preference list, select how you want to configure the
order of calls in the queue. If you want to give priority to the oldest call in the
system, select Oldest.
Note: All skillsets used by Contact Center Multimedia must have the Call
Age Preference set to Oldest to ensure that the contact that is in the system
for the longest time is presented to an agent first.
9 Optionally, in the Map to ACD-DN box, type the ACD-DN number to which
the skillset can be mapped. If you map the skillset to an ACD-DN, calls to
that ACD-DN are pegged against the skillset in reports.

Manager.
You can configure primary and secondary e-mail servers. If your system cannot
log on to a mailbox, the E-mail Manager attempts to connect to the secondary
POP3 host. Likewise, if an SMTP connection attempt fails, the secondary SMTP
host is used. If e-mail is duplicated in both the primary and secondary e-mail
servers, and a failure of the primary server occurs, the e-mail retrieved from the
secondary e-mail server is duplicated in the Multimedia database when the
primary server is restored.
Note: You must ensure that the primary and secondary servers are configured
with identical mailbox names, passwords, and SMTP authentication settings (if
applicable).
You can configure additional e-mail servers. For information about configuring
additional servers, see the Multimedia Administrator online Help.

To modify the system default rule, you must select a route point for the default
skillset. You can configure the other properties of the rule, including the skillset
used for routing the e-mail.
When you create a recipient mailbox, the system default rule is copied as the last
regular rule into the list of rules for the recipient mailbox. The default rule
ensures that all contacts received by the mailbox are assigned a skillset.
CAUTION
The intention of the system default rule is to route all contacts that
do not match any other rules.
If you change the properties of the rule, you affect the behavior of
the system default rule, which affects all recipient mailboxes you
configure in the E-mail Manager.
If an administrator deletes the skillset associated with a default
rule, the default skillset, EM_Default_Skillset, is used as a
substitute.
If an administrator deletes the EM_Default_Skillset, the system
stops processing e-mail messages.
Note: If you did not configure the route points for all of the skillsets, you must
configure the route points for the skillset you assign to the system default rule.
For more information, see “Configuring skillsets” on page 194.

attach files to outgoing e-mail from the outbound folder. These permissions
must be attached to the folders. You must also set the password of the
CCMMOPSUSR so that the password never expires.
IUSR_<Servername>—The IUSR account is an IIS account used for all
communication between the Multimedia server and the Agent Desktop over
HTTPS (except for Communication Control Toolkit events over a
configurable port). Agents read and attach files through HTTP rather than
an open share, therefore, the attachment directories are defined as web
folders in IIS.

In this section
Step 12. Check the requirements for each client 288
Step 13. Install .NET Framework on clients 291
Step 14. Configure access to client applications 293
The Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound Campaign Management Tool
are client applications installed on the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound
server.
From a client, an agent types a URL into a web browser and pulls the Contact
Center Agent Desktop application from the Contact Center Multimedia/
Outbound server to their desktop. The agent uses the Contact Center Agent
Desktop to handle the following types of contacts: inbound voice, outbound
voice, e-mail, and web communications.
Requirements
Before you work with the clients, follow the steps in this section to make sure
you have the required information and materials for using the clients.
1 Obtain the user ID and password that you need to log on to the client. On a
Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows XP Professional client, you need
an account with local administrative privileges.
2 Check that you have the following hardware (refer to the Contact Center
Planning and Engineering Guide for more complete details):
Description Done
Client hardware
Each client running the Contact Center Multimedia server client
applications has the following elements:
Intel Pentium III 733 MHz CPU ❑
256 MB RAM ❑
4 GB disk space ❑
7200 rpm hard disk drive IDE/SCSI Bus ❑
VGA color monitor ❑
keyboard ❑
Microsoft-compatible mouse ❑
Network interface card (100 Mb/s Ethernet) ❑
Network connection to the Nortel server subnet ❑
TCP/IP ❑
Optional requirements:
4-speed or higher CD-ROM drive ❑
sound card ❑
Description Done
Client software
Clients have one of the following operating systems: Windows
❑
2000 Professional with service pack 4 or Windows XP
Professional with service pack 2
❑
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 with service pack 1 (See “Step
13. Install .NET Framework on clients” on page 291)
❑
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi (See “Step 14. Configure access
to client applications” on page 293”)
❑
Internet Explorer 5.5 or later
The .NET Framework version 1.1 and .NET service pack 1 must be installed on
the clients before you can run an application such as the Contact Center Agent
Desktop application or the Outbound Campaign Management Tool.
Note: You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET
Framework on the same client. If you want to view .NET Framework
applications in a different language, you must download the appropriate
language version of the .NET Framework language pack.
5 Verify that the version is 1.1.4322. If this version is not correct, you must
install the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
6 Click Close.
7 Close the Add and Remove Programs window.
The Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound Campaign Management Tool
applications are based on Microsoft .NET technology. The .NET deployment
model is based on clients pulling the latest version of an application from a Web
server. This .NET deployment provides the benefit of deploying a thick client
using thin-client technology and the ability to automatically update the
applications based on updates and patches on the server.
Accessing the Web server introduces the potential for a client to download
malicious code. The following information provides the procedures to set the
security and to deploy the Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound
Campaign Management Tool with minimal risk.
Note: If a client is outside the Multimedia server domain, then make the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file available to the client from a secure network
drive.

Begin configuring the other components required for routing Multimedia
contacts. For more information, see “Step 15. Configure phonesets on the switch
for each agent” on page 298.
In this section
Step 15. Configure phonesets on the switch for each agent 298
Step 16. Create a Windows user for each agent 300
Step 17. Configure the e-mail server 301
You must ensure that the phonesets are configured on the switch. If all of the
phonesets are configured on the switch from your installation of Symposium
Web Center Portal 4.0, you can proceed to “Step 16. Create a Windows user for
each agent” on page 300. For more information about configuring phonesets on
the switch, see the Contact Center, Communication Server 1000/Meridian 1 and
Voice Processing Guide.
You need to configure phonesets for agents that handle voice or outbound
contacts. Agents who handle only e-mail contacts do not require a phoneset.
Create a terminal number (TN) entry for each contact center agent ❑
as per instructions in the Contact Center Manager Server
Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Ensure that key 0 has Automatic call distribution call (ACD) ❑
functionality. TNs can be configured with a Contact Center
Manager Server-specific ACD queue or a normal ACD queue used
for both voice and media.
Enable Associated Set Assignment (AST) for the ACD key and for ❑
one of the other personal DN keys.
Note: AST can only be configured on a maximum of two keys.
A Windows user account defines the actions a user can perform. Each user needs
to be created on the domain used by the contact center for agent resources. If all
of the users are configured from your installation of Symposium Web Center
Portal 4.0, you can proceed to “Step 17. Configure the e-mail server” on page
301.
Security
To improve the security of a password, use at least two of these elements:
uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. The more random the
sequence of characters, the more secure the password.
This step must only be completed if you are licensed for e-mail contacts in your
Multimedia contact center.
Configure and create the required mailboxes to use with Contact Center
Multimedia. Use the documentation supplied with your e-mail server software to
configure the mailboxes to be used for receiving contacts.
If you are using the same e-mail server and the same e-mail mailboxes as you
were using for Symposium Web Center Portal 4.0, no further configuration is
required on the e-mail server.
What is next?

Acquired appears in the Status column.
Acquiring a phoneset
You must acquire each phoneset so that the switch sends a message to the system
when the agent logs on to the phoneset.
You must create skillsets for the contacts you are eligible to receive or send. You
must have at least one skillset for each type of contact. For this purpose, a
default skillset is created in Contact Center Manager Administration. For e-mail
contacts, you must configure a skillset for each mailbox from which you want to
send a reply.
5 In the next available row, in the Skillset Name box, type the name for the
skillset.
Note: If you are creating an e-mail skillset, the prefix EM_ must appear
before the skillset name. If you are creating an outbound skillset, the prefix
OB_ must appear before the name. If you are creating a Web
Communication skillset, WC_ must proceed the name. If you use any other
prefix, the skillset is assigned to voice contacts.
6 From the Default Activity Code list, select the activity code that is
registered whenever this skillset is used. This number must be defined in
the system already.
7 From the Threshold Class list, select the threshold class associated with
this skillset.
8 From the Call Age Preference list, select how you want to configure the
order of calls in the queue. If you want to give priority to the oldest call in the
system, select Oldest.
Note: All skillsets used by Contact Center Multimedia must have the Call
Age Preference set to Oldest to ensure that the contact that is in the system
for the longest time is presented to an agent first.
9 Optionally, in the Map to ACD-DN box, type the ACD-DN number to which
the skillset can be mapped. If you map the skillset to an ACD-DN, calls to
that ACD-DN are pegged against the skillset in reports.
10 From the Out of Service Mode list, select a value to take the skillset offline
and specify the service mode for the manual night service switch.
11 Optionally, in the Comment box, type any comments you have about the
skillset.

CAUTION
The intention of the system default rule is to route all contacts that
do not match any other rules.
If you change the properties of the rule, you affect the behavior of
the system default rule, which affects all recipient mailboxes you
configure in the E-mail Manager.
If an administrator deletes the skillset associated with a default
rule, the default skillset, EM_Default_Skillset, is used as a
substitute.
If an administrator deletes the EM_Default_Skillset, the system
stops processing e-mail messages.
Note: If you did not configure the route points for all of the skillsets, you must
configure the route points for the skillset you assign to the system default rule.

Configure phonesets on the switch for each agent” on page 520.
The Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound Campaign Management Tool
are client applications installed on the Contact Center Multimedia server.
From a client, an agent types a URL into a web browser and pulls the Contact
Center Agent Desktop application from the Contact Center Multimedia/
Outbound server to their desktop. The agent uses the Contact Center Agent
Desktop to handle the following types of contacts: inbound voice, outbound
voice, e-mail, and web communications.
Requirements
Before you work with the client, follow the steps in this section to make sure you
have the required information and materials for using the clients.
1 Obtain the user ID and password that you need to log on to the client. On a
Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows XP Professional client, you need
an account that has local administrative privileges.
2 Check that you have the following hardware (refer to the Contact Center

The .NET Framework version 1.1 and .NET service pack 1 must be installed on
the clients before you can run an application such as the Agent Desktop
application or the Outbound Campaign Management Tool.
Note: You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET
Framework on the same client. If you want to view .NET Framework
applications in a different language, you must download the appropriate
language version of the .NET Framework language pack.
5 Verify that the version is 1.1.4322. If this version is not correct, you must
install the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
6 Click Close.
7 Close the Add and Remove Programs window.
The Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound Campaign Management Tool
applications are based on Microsoft .NET technology. The .NET deployment
model is based on clients pulling the latest version of an application from a Web
server. This .NET deployment provides the benefit of deploying a thick client
using thin-client technology and the ability to automatically update the
applications based on updates and patches on the server.
Accessing the Web server introduces the potential for a client to download
malicious code. The following information provides the procedures to set the
security and to deploy the Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound
Campaign Management Tool with minimal risk.
Note: If a client is outside the Multimedia server domain, then make the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file available to the client from a secure network
drive.

23. Create required multimedia skillsets” on page 538.
You must add and acquire each phoneset that an agent or supervisor uses to log
on to the system. When Contact Center Manager Server acquires a phoneset, the
Communication Server 1000/Meridian 1 PBX switch begins sending messages
about these phonesets to the system.
Note: After you save a phoneset, you cannot modify it. You must delete your
saved phoneset, then add a new phoneset to change the phoneset configuration.
Adding a phoneset
Note: Before you perform this procedure, you must configure the phoneset on
the switch. For more information, see “Step 16. Configure phonesets on the
switch for each agent” on page 520.
5 In the Name box, type the name of the phoneset as you want it to appear in
reports.
Acquiring a phoneset
You must acquire each phoneset so that the switch sends a message to the system
when the agent logs on to the phoneset.

configuration of your old Contact Center Multimedia server. If you are not
adding or changing multimedia skillsets in your contact center, then proceed to
“Step 24. Create supervisors and agents” on page 541.
You must create skillsets for the contacts you are eligible to receive or send. You
must have at least one skillset for each type of contact. For this purpose, a
default skillset is created in Contact Center Manager Administration. For e-mail
contacts, you must configure a skillset for each mailbox from which you want to
send a reply.
5 In the next available row, in the Skillset Name box, type the name for the
skillset.
Note: If you are creating an e-mail skillset, the prefix EM_ must appear
before the skillset name. If you are creating an outbound skillset, the prefix
OB_ must appear before the name. If you are creating a Web
Communication skillset, WC_ must proceed the name. If you use any other
prefix, the skillset is assigned to voice contacts.
6 From the Default Activity Code list, select the activity code that is
registered whenever this skillset is used. This number must be defined in
the system already.
7 From the Threshold Class list, select the threshold class associated with
this skillset.
8 From the Call Age Preference list, select how you want to configure the
order of calls in the queue. If you want to give priority to the oldest call in the
system, select Oldest.
Note: All skillsets used by Contact Center Multimedia must have the Call
Age Preference set to Oldest to ensure that the contact that is in the system
for the longest time is presented to an agent first.
9 Optionally, in the Map to ACD-DN box, type the ACD-DN number to which
the skillset can be mapped. If you map the skillset to an ACD-DN, calls to
that ACD-DN are pegged against the skillset in reports.
10 From the Out of Service Mode list, select a value to take the skillset offline
and specify the service mode for the manual night service switch.
11 Optionally, in the Comment box, type any comments you have about the
skillset.
12 Press tab to save your changes.
For more information about creating networking skillsets, see the Contact
Center Manager Administration online Help.
Note: You created supervisors and agents in your contact center during the
configuration of your old Contact Center Multimedia server. If you are not
adding supervisors or agents to your contact center, then proceed to “Step 25.

Note: You created route points in your contact center during the configuration of
your old Contact Center Multimedia server. If you are not adding or changing
route points in your contact center, then proceed to “Step 26. Configure the
sample multimedia scripts” on page 546.
Route points are used to assign a destination for the Multimedia contacts that are
assigned to skillsets.
If you add an Open Queue CDN (route point) you do not need to configure the
CDN (route point) to the switch.
Note: You configured the sample multimedia scripts in your contact center
during the configuration of your old Contact Center Multimedia server. If you
are not changing the scripts in your contact center, then proceed to “Step 27.
Add the Multimedia Server to CCMA for reporting” on page 549.
Scripts for Contact Center Multimedia are used to correctly route multimedia
contacts. Sample scripts are provided in the scripting application. It is
recommended that you initially integrate these sample scripts with your existing
Contact Center Manager Server scripts. Once complete, multimedia contacts are
routed correctly; however, the sample scripts may need to be customized to
better suit the individual needs of Contact Center Multimedia.
For more information about Multimedia scripts, see Contact Center Scripting
Guide.
E-mail contacts are pegged against this application in both historical reports
and real-time displays.
OB_Outbound_Primary—This primary script is executed for outbound
contacts. The script passes execution to the c_Scheduled_Contact_Handler
script. Outbound contacts are pegged against this application in both
historical reports and real-time displays.
WC_Web_Primary—This primary script is executed for web
communications contacts. The script passes execution to the
c_Scheduled_Contact_Handler script. Web communications contacts are
pegged against this application in both historical reports and real-time
displays.
c_Scheduled_Contact_Handler—This script checks if the current date
and time is greater than the callback date and time of the contact. If so, the
script immediately passes execution to the c_Queue_Multimedia_Contact
script; otherwise, the script stays in a loop until the callback date and time
arrives and passes execution to the c_Queue_Multimedia_Contact script.
c_Queue_Multimedia_Contact—This script checks if the contact is
queued directly to an agent. If so, the script attempts to queue the contact to
the agent. If the preferred agent is not logged in, the script queues the
multimedia contact to its assigned skillset.
You can use the sample Multimedia scripts in Contact Center Manager by
importing them into either an existing script or a new script in the Scripting
component. The Import command adds the text of the imported sample script at
the end of any text in the current script.
You can import a sample script into Contact Center Manager Administration in
two ways:

Manager.
You can configure primary and secondary e-mail servers. If your system cannot
log on to a mailbox, the E-mail Manager attempts to connect to the secondary
POP3 host. Likewise, if an SMTP connection attempt fails, the secondary SMTP
host is used. If e-mail is duplicated in both the primary and secondary e-mail
servers, and a failure of the primary server occurs, the e-mail retrieved from the
secondary e-mail server is duplicated in the Multimedia database when the
primary server is restored.
Note: You must ensure that the primary and secondary servers are configured
with identical mailbox names, passwords, and SMTP authentication settings (if
applicable).
You can configure additional e-mail servers. For information about configuring
additional servers, see the Multimedia Administrator online Help.

When you create a recipient mailbox, the system default rule is copied as the last
regular rule into list of rules for the recipient mailbox. The default rule ensures
that all contacts received by the mailbox are assigned a skillset.
CAUTION
The intention of the system default rule is to route all contacts that
do not match any other rules.
If you change the properties of the rule, you affect the behavior of
the System default rule, which affects all recipient mailboxes you
configure in the E-mail Manager.
If the skillset associated with a default rule is deleted, the default
skillset, EM_Default_Skillset is used as a substitute.
If the EM_Default_Skillset is deleted, the system stops processing
e-mail messages.
Note: If you did not configure the route points for all of the skillsets, you must
configure the route points for the skillset you assign to the system default rule.
For more information, see “Configuring skillsets” on page 606.

Returned mail
Unknown Recipient
Delivery Report
You can add words to the default keyword list, but do so with caution. Words in
different contexts (such as unknown) in the keyword list for the delivery failure
rule, can cause valid e-mail to be routed as undeliverable. In this case, use
specific phrases instead of individual words.
CAUTION
The default settings for the system delivery failure rule are:
use the e-mail default skillset, EM_Default _Skillset
use keyword group Delivery Failure keywords
assign priority 6 (lowest)
Note: If you did not configure the route points for all of the skillsets, you must
configure the route point for the skillset for the system delivery failure rule. See

Section E: Switch the Redundancy server to Primary mode 723
Section F: Return Primary server to Primary mode 727
Overview
The steps for switching the Redundancy and Primary server operations is
described in this chapter.
The Multimedia database for the redundancy server must be installed on the
same drive letter as on the Primary server. The Redundancy server receives
Multimedia database updates asynchronously so it does not affect the
performance on the Primary server.
Note: The Redundancy server checks the Primary server every 10 seconds for
any changes to the data. Changes are updated on the Redundancy server. If the
Primary server is busy, a delay in the data transfer occurs between the Primary
server and the Redundancy server. The delay depends on the primary server.
Note: For clarification, the server where the Primary server software is installed
is referred throughout this chapter as the Primary server. The server where the
Redundancy software is installed is referred to as Redundancy server. Primary
mode refers to the server that is running as the Primary server in the contact
center.

server.
5 In the E-mail Domain box, type the domain for your e-mail server.
Note: Mailbox names are case-sensitive. You must type the mailbox name
exactly as it appears on your e-mail server.
Note: If the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server is not in the same
domain as the e-mail server, you must also include the domain. Include the
managing e-mail subtypes. Each e-mail server is polled for the mailboxes
that it hosts. For more information about configuring more e-mail servers,
see the Multimedia Administrator online Help.
15 Click Save.
You can perform this optional configuration if you are licensed for e-mail
contacts.
ATTENTION
Risk of backup failure
Nortel recommends that you use the default attachment
locations defined during installation. If required, you can
choose a different location for the inbound and outbound
shared e-mail folders. If you choose a different location,
you must ensure that you:
Create the inbound e-mail attachment folder with the
path MailAttachments/Inbound.
Create the outbound folder with the path
MailAttachments/Outbound.
Share the inbound and outbound folders with the users
CCMMOPSUSR and IUSR_<Servername>.
Configure the NTFS access to the inbound and
outbound folders for CCMMOPSUSR and
IUSR_<Servername>.
Configure the correct folders in the e-mail attachment
locations in the Multimedia Administrator application.
The response can contain the e-mail address to which the customer sent the
original e-mail message, or a general corporate e-mail address that is configured
for each skillset.
Agent-initiated messages are always sent from an e-mail address associated with
a skillset.
Note: E-mail messages must be sent through the e-mail server, not forwarded to
another party. Sending e-mail messages preserves the original To address which
is used for e-mail rule administration and outgoing e-mail addresses.
4 Select a skillset.
In the box, select the e-mail address for the outgoing e-mail. This e-
mail address must be defined as a mailbox on the E-mail Manager.
To send customer responses from the address that the customer used,
do the following:
In the box, select the e-mail address for the outgoing e-mail for agent-

5 Click Close to close the Outgoing E-mail Configuration box.
Select one of the following types of coding, as required for your system:
4 In the Encoding list, select the type of encoding you want to use.
5 Click Save.
Configuring rules
A basic rule considers the 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 e-mail, or looking at who sent the message (sender address).
You can also enhance the routing by selecting additional output details for your
contact center, such as auto-responses. You can configure a maximum of 1000
rules.
Example 1:
A magazine advertises an investment strategy. Customers can learn more about
the investment by sending an e-mail with “Good Investing” in the subject line to
a specific address. A rule can be created to search incoming e-mail messages for
“Good Investing.” If the e-mail subject line contains “Good Investing,” then a
brochure is sent to the customer. No interaction from an agent is required.
Example 2:
An e-mail arrives at the contact center from the most important client of the
contact center. A rule can be created to route this client’s contacts to a skillset
assigned to a highly specialized agent.
Rule inputs
Multimedia rules are based on the recipient address or the To address when the
e-mail arrives in the contact center. Rules apply to a recipient mailbox.
You can also add keywords and sender addresses to the input to further refine the
rule.
Keyword groups—A collection of related words for which the system
searches within the subject or the body of an e-mail.
Sender address groups—The originating address of the e-mail, or From
address, when the e-mail arrives in the contact center.
Rule outputs
Each rule must have one output that is assigned to a skillset. You can also
configure a contact type or a priority for the contact that matches the rule. You
can optionally close the contact, or add an auto-response or out of office
message, to the rule.
For rules that you create, the rule with the most specific constraints appears
second, after the delivery failure rule, and the rule with the least specific
constraints appears immediately before the default rule, which is last.
You can configure the sequence of the rules by selecting a rule in the list and
using the up or down arrow to move the rule.
You can also enable and disable each rule by selecting a rule in the list and using
the check mark or cross to enable or disable the rule.
Note: The default delivery failure rule and the default rule are always enabled
and you can not disable them.
Reset—The rule is executed if the contact matches the requirements of the rule;
however, the rule was reset, because the skillset used in the rule was deleted in
Contact Center Manager Administration. The default skillset,
EM_Default_Skillset, is assigned to the rule, and unexpected routing can occur.
The rule is red in the list of rules to warn the administrator of a change in the rule
definition. The rule returns to black when you change or open the skillset.
6 Click Next.
Result: The Rule Configuration Wizard- Recipients window appears.
From the examples at the beginning of this section, we can consider the inputs
for each rule:
Examples:
The magazine example suggests that readers can send an e-mail with “Good
Investing” in the subject to the contact center to get more information about a
particular investment. Create a rule to search the subject of incoming e-mail
messages for “Good Investing.” You can send an auto-response and close the
contact by using keywords to determine if the subject of the incoming e-mail
message is “Good Investing.”
When an e-mail comes into the contact center, a rule checks to see if the
keywords “Good Investing” are in the e-mail subject. If a match is found, then
the rule is followed (if the rule is enabled). If the keywords are not in the e-mail,
the e-mail does not match the rule, and the remaining rules are checked.
In the second example, if an e-mail arrives at the contact center from a very
important client, you can create a rule to route this client’s contacts to a skillset
that is assigned to a highly specialized agent. You can assign a specialized
skillset to the important client by creating a sender group that includes this
client’s e-mail address.
When an e-mail comes into the contact center, the rule checks to see if the
sender address matches the very important client. If it does, then the rule is
followed (if the rule is enabled). If the sender address does not match the rule,
then the remaining rules are checked.
Keyword groups are optional; however, you can use up to three keyword groups
as input parameters for your rule.
b. Click New.
Result: The New Keyword Group window appears.
c. In the Name box, type a unique name for the keyword group (maximum
64 characters).
b. Click New.
Result: The New Sender Group window appears.

address, and then click Lookup. E-mail messages that match the
characters you typed appear in the list.
e. Click Add to insert the e-mail address you looked up, or click Add
Freeform to add your typed e-mail address to the sender group.
Note: This text box supports unicode language. For example, you can enter
Chinese text.
Note: Sender groups support only * wildcard characters placed before the
@ symbol in an e-mail address. The wildcard characters cannot be at the
end of a sender group address.
Nortel recommends that you have a maximum of 20 sender e-mail
addresses in one sender group.
Click Next.
Result: The Rule Configuration Wizard - Output Actions window appears.
Examples:
In the magazine example, if the subject line contains the correct text, then a
brochure about the investment can be automatically sent to the customer. No
interaction from an agent is required. The rule for the e-mail about “Good
Investing” can ensure a specific response to the customer e-mail message: send
an auto-response (with the brochure as an e-mail attachment) and then close the
contact.
An e-mail arrives from the most important client of the company. A rule ensures
the following response to the e-mail: assign a skillset named “VIP” and add a
high priority to the e-mail message.

Restoring the Multimedia database 849
Overview
To manage your database, and prevent losing all of your data in case of hardware
or software failure, back up your data regularly. Contact Center Multimedia/
Outbound contains the following tools to ensure that you minimize losing your
data:
a backup utility that backs up the contact and customer details in the
multimedia database
a restore utility that restores any backed-up contact and customer details to
the multimedia database on the server
an archive utility that stores the contact and customer details in the
multimedia database
For more information about archiving the contact and customer details, see
Chapter 12, “Archiving and restoring data.”
a warm standby server, or redundancy server, used for quick recovery if the
primary server fails
For more information about installing and configuring your redundancy
server, see Chapter 5, “Installing the Redundancy server.”
Note: You must perform a back up of the multimedia database every time a
Contact Center Manager server backup is performed.
The following list describes the administration maintenance required for the
Multimedia server:
1. Check the e-mail server mailboxes for any mail that was not processed by
the E-mail Manager. Log on to the e-mail server and look at the number of
e-mail messages in each recipient’s inbox. This number reduces each time
the E-mail Manager scans the recipient mailboxes. Nortel recommends that
the administrator add the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound mailboxes
to the e-mail client.
2. Monitor the amount of disk space available for the multimedia database and
purge unnecessary data when required. For more information, see Chapter
12, “Archiving and restoring data”.
3. Monitor the amount of disk space available for the attachment folder and
purge unnecessary data when required.
The backup utility creates a full backup of the database and the e-mail
attachments, not an incremental backup since the last backup was performed.
Note: Use the Multimedia backup utility only to back up the Caché database that
includes the .DAT file, stored in \Nortel\Contact Center\MMDatabase the
associated Caché journal files and (optionally) e-mail attachments. The
Windows operating system and log files are not backed up using the Multimedia
backup utility.
You can back up the database to a file in one of the following locations:
a mapped drive on a network with a capacity 10 percent larger than the
database size
Note: If you are performing a backup that includes e-mail attachments,
your mapped network share must be NTFS.
a backup tape with a capacity 10 percent larger than the database size and
supported in the Microsoft Compatibility List for Windows
(www.microsoft.com). If your database is 10 GB, your backup is nearly 11
GB.
Note: Backing up to a local folder is not recommended.
You can also include e-mail attachment folders in your backup, or leave them
out. If you choose to back up your e-mail attachment folders, the e-mail
attachments must be backed up to a mapped drive on a network; they cannot be
backed up on a tape drive. If you back up both the Caché database and the e-mail
attachments to the network drive, the capacity of the network drive must be 10
percent larger than the database size plus the size of the e-mail attachment
folders.
Note: If you are performing a backup that includes e-mail attachments, your
mapped network share must be NTFS.
ATTENTION
Risk of backup failure
Nortel recommends that you use the default attachment
locations defined during installation. If required, you can
choose a different location for the inbound and outbound
shared e-mail folders. If you choose a different location, you
must ensure that you:
Create the inbound e-mail attachment folder with the path
MailAttachments/Inbound.
Create the outbound folder with the path MailAttachments/
Outbound.
Share the inbound and outbound folders with the users
CCMMOPSUSR and IUSR_<Servername>.
Set the NTFS access permissions for CCMMOPSUSR and
IUSR_<Servername>.
Configure the correct folders in the e-mail attachment
locations in the Multimedia Administrator application. For
more information, see the Multimedia Administrator online
Help.
Use the backup and restore feature of the Multimedia server to:
Perform an immediate backup of the Multimedia database and e-mail
attachment folders.
Schedule a daily or weekly backup of the Multimedia database and e-mail
attachment folders.
Cancel a scheduled backup.
Restore a previous backup.
ATTENTION
The backup and restore utility can take up to several hours
to complete, depending on the amount of data.
Note: The backup utility backs up only the database and, if you choose, the
e-mail attachment folders. It does not back up log files or the server operating
system. If desired, you can back up the log files when you back up your
Multimedia database using a third-party utility.
Perform an immediate backup of the default database before you run Contact
Center Multimedia/Outbound.
On the network computer where you store the backup, you must do one of the
following:
ensure that your user account is in the same domain as the Contact Center
Multimedia server, or
create a new user that is in the same domain as the Contact Center
Multimedia server and log on as this new user
Start the backup utility to configure an immediate backup. For each backup file,
specify a location to overwrite the previous backup file. It takes about 5 minutes
to back up 1 GB of data.
Note: A log is kept of the progress of the file backup. Use the backup.txt file in
the CCMMLogs folder to review the log file.
Perform a backup now to ensure the backup process works before you schedule
a backup. When you back up your database, you must select a folder for the back
up. Ensure that you map the drive and create a subfolder before beginning your
backup.

Overview 854
Archiving the database 855
Restoring the Multimedia database from an archive 860
Overview
If you require a copy of the previous data, you can use any archive or backup
file, or a combination of both.
Track the archive and backup files you create to know what data is in each
archive, and how it is organized.
The data from the Multimedia database is archived to tab-delimited text files that
can be viewed in third-party applications such as Microsoft Access.
If the archiving is done infrequently, the archive files can be large, so an archive
schedule must reflect your contact center volume.
For example, if you know there is no more action expected for a particular
skillset, you can archive the contacts associated with that skillset.
When you archive data, you can also choose to archive the customer data with
the contact data. You cannot, however, choose to archive contacts associated
with a customer.
Before you begin to archive your contacts, you must determine which type of
archive or restore you would like to use.
6 Click an option on the toolbar for your archive. You can choose from:
Archiving by Outbound Campaign
Archiving by E-mail Rule (See “Archiving by e-mail rule or skillset” on
page 858.)
Archiving by Skillset (See “Archiving by e-mail rule or skillset” on page
858.)
Before you restore your database, you must shut down all of the Contact Center
Multimedia applications. It is important that no processes, except for the Caché
database, are running while you restore the database.
CAUTION

Overview
This chapter describes the security considerations that you must use when you
install and configure your Contact Center Multimedia server.
For more information about security see the Contact Center Security guide.
Common security practice suggests your servers and network have multiple
lines of defense against viruses and other malicious intruders. By establishing a
layered security, you help to keep out as many threats to your security as
possible. Working in concert, the following devices or applications can help to
keep out unwanted traffic, notify you when unauthorized access does occur, and
protect your computer from known Trojans, worms, and viruses.
A hardware- or software-based firewall on a separate computer or device.
Regardless of what type you use, the firewall represents your outer
boundary of protection.
An antivirus software program that meets the requirements of the Contact
Center Multimedia software. For more information, see the Contact Center
Multimedia Technical Requirements and Operating System Configuration
Guide.
Password guidelines
This section provides guidelines for selecting passwords for Contact Center
Multimedia server.
Password format
Write down any new passwords and store them in a secure place for future
reference. Passwords are case-sensitive.
Example
xyd45fst
Changing passwords
Change passwords at the following times:
during the initial system setup after the operating system is installed
at regular intervals for maximum security
if you experience trouble logging on to Windows
if the server software is reinstalled (the default accounts and passwords are
recreated, so passwords must be changed)
Note: If you require support from Nortel or your distributor, you must tell them
any new passwords.
The Security Configuration Wizard is part of the Windows Server 2003 service
pack 1. The Security Configuration Wizard determines the minimum
functionality required for the role of the server, and disables functionality that is
not required. The Security Configuration Wizard can:
disable unneeded services
block unused ports
allow address or security restrictions for open ports
prohibit IIS Web extensions
reduce protocol exposure to server message block (SMB), LanMan, and
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
define an audit policy based on your auditing objectives
Note: Contact Center Multimedia 6.0 must be installed and all Contact Center
Multimedia services must be started on your server before running the Security
Configuration Wizard as the wizard detects what inbound ports the server is
listening on.

15 In the Handling Unspecified Services window, select an option only if you
intend to apply the security policy to another server. Choose one of the
following:
Select Disable the service to disable all services on the server that are
not defined in the security policy.
This information is required only if you want to use a firewall between any of
these computers. Nortel recommends that you do not use a firewall between the
Contact Center servers (Contact Center Manager Server, Contact Center
Manager Administration, Communication Control Toolkit, and Contact Center
Multimedia).
Agent Desktop
When agents load the Contact Center Agent Desktop application by typing a
URL in their browser, the Contact Center Multimedia server connects to the
client on port 80 using TCP.
When the Contact Center Agent Desktop application is downloaded to the client,
the application also connects to the Communication Control Toolkit server on
port 29373 using TCP.
E-mail
The Contact Center Multimedia E-mail Manager connects to the configured e-
mail servers on ports 110 (POP3) and 25 (SMTP) using TCP.

Enterprise Edition or Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition to successfully
archive contacts that have attachment names in languages that are not installed
by the default English Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition or Windows
Server 2003 Standard Edition operating system.
Technical support
All hardware diagnostics are the responsibility of the hardware vendor. Verify
the manufacturer’s instructions before you perform any hardware-related
procedure.
Before you install Contact Center Multimedia, you must verify your selected
servers. This verification includes making sure the computers conform to the
specifications listed in the Nortel Contact Center Planning and Engineering
Guide and the Nortel Contact Center Multimedia Technical Requirements and
Operating System Configuration Guide. You must also ensure that the operating
system is installed and functioning properly.
Nortel can provide support during the installation and configuration of Contact
Center Multimedia using your installation of pcAnywhere, or the remote
desktop configuration. For more information, see “Step 3. Install your remote
support access tool” on page 46.
In this chapter
Using the E-mail Manager Memory Management utility 932
You can use the E-mail Manager Memory Utility to perform maintenance and
diagnostic tools on the Multimedia server.
If an error occurs, record the error message, the system configuration, and the
actions taken before and after the error occurred. If the problem persists, contact
your Nortel customer support representative.
You can use the E-mail Manager Memory Management utility to change the
amount of memory allocated to the E-mail Manager.
The mechanism by which inbound e-mail messages are processed requires that
every e-mail message is held in memory for a brief time while it is decoded and
processed. This places a limit on the maximum size of a given e-mail message
that the E-mail Manager can handle.
The E-mail Manager Memory Manager ensures that memory limits are not
exceeded. This section describes how the memory manager calculates these
limits, and how to determine the maximum size e-mail supported.
The approximate values for these variables, used when calculating how much
memory to reserve to process an e-mail message, are:
Encoding adjustment: 1.3 (this can vary slightly based on the encoding
used)
Memory adjustment: 1.2 (this factor decreases slightly, the larger the
e-mail is, but it has been left as a fixed value)
Buffer memory: 20 MB
Note: When the following subsections specify an attachment size, they refer to
the total size of all attachments of an e-mail message. Also, the size of the body
of an e-mail lowers the supported attachment size by the size of the content of
the message. However, in most cases, the content of an e-mail is negligible
compared to large attachments.

Overview
This chapter contains diagrams showing the life cycle of the contacts in Contact
Center Multimedia.
Outbound contacts
1. The contact is loaded into the Database from the outbound campaign.
An administrator in your contact center creates an outbound campaign
using the Outbound Campaign Management Tool accessed in Contact
Center Manager Administration.
2. The notification that the outbound contacts that are part of the campaign are
received is passed to the Open Queue.
3. The outbound calls are created as objects in Open Queue.
The outbound script is applied, using information such as the skillset and
priority and contact type assigned to the outbound campaign. From the
script, it is determined which agent receives the contact.
4. The contact is passed to the Communication Control Toolkit to present the
contact to an agent.
5. The contact is presented to the agent in the Contact Center Agent Desktop.
Associated contact data, such as contact information is passed to the
Contact Center Agent Desktop along with the outbound call.
6. Customer details for the contact are received from the Multimedia database
through the web services.
7. The outbound call is initiated on the agent’s desktop using the dialing
properties configured in the outbound campaign.
8. The outbound call is established between the agent and the customer.
9. Customer detail updates and additions to the contact history are stored in
Multimedia database.
10. While the agent and customer are on the call the agent can use the agent
script to enter information from the customer. The agent script is configured
in the outbound campaign.
11. When the agent is finished with the call, the agent chooses a disposition
code, and disconnects from the call to complete the contact.
The disposition code is logged in the reports and determines whether the
agent script is saved.
E-mail messages
1. The contact is loaded into the Database from the E-mail server.
You configure recipient mailboxes and a polling interval in the Contact
Center Multimedia Administrator tool (E-mail Manager). The E-mail
Manager checks the corresponding mailboxes on the e-mail server at the
specified polling interval. When new e-mail messages are found, they are
moved into the Multimedia database.
2. The notification that the e-mail contact is received is passed to the Open
Queue.
The E-mail Manager uses the regular default rules and your configured
rules to assign a skillset, and priority to the contact. Some rules also sent an
auto-response to the customer immediately, without interaction from the
agent.
3. The e-mail message is created as an object in Open Queue.
The e-mail script is applied, using information such as the skillset and
priority and contact type assigned to the e-mail message. From the script, it
is determined which agent receives the contact.
The contact information is also included in reports.
4. The contact is passed to the Communication Control Toolkit to present the
contact to an agent.
5. The contact is presented to the agent in the Contact Center Agent Desktop.
6. Associated contact data, such as the ID and contact information is passed to
the Contact Center Agent Desktop along with the e-mail message.
7. Customer details for the contact are received from the Multimedia database
through the web services.
8. The agent replies are written to the Multimedia database through Web
Services. The E-mail Manager polls the database for outgoing e-mail
messages.
Information about what e-mail address is used for replies to customers is
configured in the Contact Center Multimedia Administrator E-mail
Manager configuration.
Customer detail updates, additions to the contact history, and contact ID
information are stored in Multimedia database.
9. The agent closes the e-mail contact by specifying a closed reason code, if
closed reason codes are configured in the Contact Center Multimedia
Administrator.
Alternately, the agent can postpone the contact, forward the contact to
another agent, or forward the contact to a person outside of the contact
center. The agent then is reassigned the contact to complete it later.
A accelerator key
A key on a phoneset that an agent can use to place a call quickly. When an agent
presses an accelerator key, the system places the call to the configured number
associated with the key. For example, if an agent presses the Emergency key, the
system places a call to the agent’s supervisor.
access class
A collection of access levels that defines the actions a member of the access
class can perform within the system. For example, a member of the
Administrator access class might be given a collection of Read/Write access
levels.

activated script
activity code
A number that agents enter on their phoneset during a call. Activity codes
provide a way of tracking the time agents spend on various types of incoming
calls. They are also known as Line of Business (LOB) codes. For example, the
activity code 720 might be used to track sales calls. Agents can then enter 720
on their agent desktop applications during sales calls, and this information can
be generated in an Activity Code report

provide a port for the network wire. Adapters can be expansion boards or part of
the computer’s main circuitry.
