About Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound

Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound is part of the Nortel Contact Center


portfolio. Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound provides a inbound and
outbound voice and e-mail features for the Contact Center.

ATTENTION
Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound networking is not
supported in Release 6.0.

Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound components


Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound consists of the following components:
„ Multimedia database: This component is installed on the Contact Center
Multimedia/Outbound server and is an InterSystems Caché database that
stores all contact center activity. All outbound contact information,
incoming e-mail, Web requests, and associated responses are stored in a
structured format within the database. Information about outbound
campaigns is also stored in this database. You can store information for
1 000 000 contacts in a database that is saved on a 20 GB disk.
„ E-mail Manager: This component is installed on the Contact Center
Multimedia/Outbound server. The E-mail Manager connects to the e-mail
server at regular intervals. The E-mail Manager reads e-mail messages from
the customer, processes the messages through a set of rules, and then stores
the e-mail message and information about the customer in the database.
Outgoing e-mail, generated from the e-mail responses stored in the
database, is sent to the e-mail server.
„ Web Communications Manager: This component is installed on the
Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server. The Web Communications
Manager connects to an external Web server. Your corporate Web site
gathers information from a customer and routes the contact to an agent.
Agents and customers communicate using a text chat session.
„ Outbound Management Campaign Management Tool: This component
is installed on the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server and
accessed using the Contact Center Manager Administration application.
Use the Outbound Campaign Management Tool to create, modify, and

26 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Getting started

monitor a maximum of 20 simultaneous outbound campaigns. An outbound


campaign is a series of outbound calls for one specific purpose, for
example, a customer survey or a sales promotion. Each outbound campaign
can contain 5000 calls in the call list.
Note: You can queue up to 100 000 outbound contacts, but only 30 000
contacts can be queued using the Open Queue mechanism. Nortel
recommends that you avoid exceeding 30 000 queued contacts.
Use the Outbound Campaign Management Tool to:
„ define campaign parameters

„ import and review call data

„ create agent call scripts

„ monitor campaign progress

„ export campaign data

„ Contact Center Agent Desktop interface: This component is installed on


the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server. Agents use Internet
Explorer to connect to the Multimedia server to retrieve the Agent Desktop
interface. The Communication Control Toolkit pushes e-mail messages,
Web requests, outbound contacts, and voice calls to the Agent Desktop
interface. The Agent Desktop interface uses Web services to retrieve e-mail
and outbound campaign information, and customer details and history from
the Multimedia database. Web services are also used to send e-mail replies
and save outbound call details in the Multimedia database.
E-mail contacts are presented to agents through the Contact Center Agent
Desktop interface, where agents can:
„ verify customer information

„ access historical e-mail to and from the customer

„ create responses to customer inquiries

„ provide a closed reason (if configured)

While an outbound campaign is running, contacts are presented to agents


through the Contact Center Agent Desktop interface, where the agents can:
„ preview contact information

„ review call scripts (if configured)

„ save scripts

„ select a disposition code

„ Multimedia Administrator: This component is installed on the Contact


Center Multimedia/Outbound server. The Multimedia Administrator
provides administrative and management capabilities.
„ Migration utility: This utility migrates existing data from Symposium
Web Center Portal Release 4.0 in the Sybase database to the new
Multimedia database in Caché.
„ Standby server: The Standby server is a warm standby server you can
install to mimic the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server. The
Standby server is available to use in case of failure of the primary server.

Licensing
Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound is licensed with features in the License
Manager, installed on Contact Center Manager Server, or on the coresident
Contact Center Manager Server. The License Manager contains the following
options:
1. Agent capabilities are licensed as inbound voice, outbound voice, e-mail
and Web communications. 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, e-mail, or Web
communications) 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 from the E-Mail Manager, for example, e-mail, fax, SMS, and scanned
white mail. The Web communications license encompasses all contacts that
come in from the external Web server.
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.”

ATTENTION
Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound networking is not
supported in Release 6.0.

March 2008 Getting started

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.

ATTENTION
Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound networking is not
supported in Release 6.0.

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.

Each client must have the following software installed:


„ Windows 2000 (service pack 4), Windows XP (service pack 2), or
Windows Vista
„ Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later
„ Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 software and .NET service pack 1

Step 3. Install your remote support access


tool

Nortel recommends that you install and configure a remote support access tool
before you install Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound so you can access
technical support during the installation procedure, if required.

Nortel personnel use pcAnywhere 11.5 as the preferred remote support access
tool. To install and configure the Host Only version of pcAnywhere version 11.5
on the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server, see “Installing pcAnywhere
11.5 as your remote support access tool,” on page 55.

Alternatively, Nortel accepts Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for


Administration as a remote support access tool for customers on a Windows
2003 platform. This alternative is provided for customers whose security policy
does not allow pcAnywhere or for customers who are using Microsoft Remote
Desktop Connection as the remote support tool for all computers on their
network. For details about enabling Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for
Administration, see “Using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection as your
remote support access tool,” on page 67.

Nortel recommends that you install only one of the supported remote access
tools (pcAnywhere or Remote Desktop Connection) on the Contact Center
Multimedia/Outbound server.

Nortel provides guidelines for setting up remote support using a virtual private
network (VPN). For more information, see the Nortel Contact Center Planning
and Engineering Guide.

Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server Standard 7.23

Step 6. Provide local users with the Log on as


a service right

To access Contact Center Multimedia software, you must configure two user
types. 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. You must only
configure CCMMOPSUSR if you are licensed for e-mail in your contact
center.
„ IUSR_<Servername>—The IUSR account is an Internet Information
Services (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.

To provide local users with Log on as a Service right


Your users must have the Log on as a Service permission to access folders that
are configured as Multimedia services.
1 On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > Administrative Tools >
Local Security Policy.
Result: The Local Security Settings window appears.
2 Under Security Settings, double-click Local Policies in the left pane.

Step 7. Configure the shared inbound and


outbound attachment folders

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
109.

Access on a shared folder is determined through two sets of permission entries:


the permissions set on the share (called share permissions) and the permissions
set on the folder (called NTFS file and folder permissions).

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 82.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 87


Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server Standard 7.23

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:
„ 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>.
„ Share the inbound and outbound folders with the security
group SYSTEM.
„ 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.

116 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server

Step 13. Configure access to client


applications

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.

The Nortel Multimedia security policy file, CCMM_Security_Policy.msi


(Microsoft Installer), contains a policy level for the client to download and run
assemblies with a particular strong name. A strong name consists of the
assembly identity (name, version number, private key) and a public key. The
Outbound Campaign Management Tool and the Contact Center Agent Desktop
assemblies are digitally signed with a strong name based on the private key.
After it is installed, the CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file instructs the clients to
trust the assemblies with the strong name assigned to the Outbound Campaign
Management Tool and the Contact Center Agent Desktop. You can install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file while you are logged on to the server as the
local administrator.

Installing the CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file


You must install the current Nortel CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file that is
included in the latest service update. For more information about the latest
service update, visit www.nortel.com.

There are three methods to install the security policy:


„ a manual installation, recommended to test the client applications on one or
two clients

Installation and Maintenance Guide 117


Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server Standard 7.23

„ SMS, recommended by Nortel, to install the msi file on multiple clients


„ Windows group policy to install the .msi file on multiple clients

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 about SMS clients, see the documentation on the Microsoft Web site
at http://www.microsoft.com.

An experienced system administrator can deploy the


CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file.

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.

Confirming that the security policy is applied


To confirm that the security policy is applied on any client, perform the
following check:
1 On the Windows Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel >
Administrative Tools > Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Configuration.
2 Expand Runtime Security Policy > Machine > Code Groups > All_Code.

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.

Checklist for agent phonesets


To configure agent phoneset terminal numbers (TN) on the switch for use with
the Communication Control Toolkit, you must complete the tasks in this
checklist.

CS 1000/Meridian 1 for the agent Done

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.

If you are enabling outbound or scheduled callback dialing, ensure ❑


that a personal Dialed Number (DN) key is created on the contact
center agent phoneset.

Enable Associated Set Assignment (AST) for the ACD key and for ❑
one of the other personal DN keys.
AST can only be configured on a maximum of two keys.

Ensure that the Meridian Link Unsolicited Status Message (USM) ❑


group (IAPG option) is enabled.

122 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server

Step 15. Create a Windows user for each agent

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.

You must be logged on as the domain administrator or a member of the


administrators group to create user accounts.

Creating a user account


1 Log on to the relevant domain controller with administrative privileges.
2 Open Active Directory Users and Computers. Click Start > All Programs >
Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.
3 Select the Domain used for Contact Center Agent Resources.
4 On the Action menu, click New > User.
5 Complete the relevant user details such as first name, last name, and user
logon name and then click Next.
6 Enter and confirm the user password, and then click Next.
A Microsoft Exchange e-mail mailbox for users is not required by Contact
Center Multimedia, however, you can create a mailbox for the agent
depending on your user requirements.
7 Review the user details.
8 Click Finish to create the Windows user.

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.

If you want to set up other password requirements such as minimum length,


expiration time, or uniqueness, open Group Policy and go to Password Policy.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 123


Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server Standard 7.23

Step 16. Configure the e-mail server

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.

Every POP3 mailbox used by the Contact Center Multimedia server requires
basic authentication to facilitate e-mail retrieval. Basic authentication passes the
mailbox user and password in clear text to the e-mail server. You can increase
your security by adding Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. For more
information about SSL encryption, see “Enable SSL on the E-mail Manager” on
page 1281.

Step 21. Create required multimedia skillsets

Use the following procedure to create a multimedia skillset. Repeat this


procedure for every skillset you want to create.

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 mailbox for each skillset from which you want to
send a reply, if you want to reserve the original To address as the Reply From
address. You can use the same mailbox for multiple skillsets.

After the skillsets are created, you must assign agents to the skillsets.

Adding a local multimedia skillset

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.

order of calls in the queue. If you want to give priority to the oldest call in the
system, select Oldest.
Tip: 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.

Step 24. Configure the sample multimedia


scripts

Scripts for Contact Center Multimedia correctly route multimedia contacts.


Sample scripts are provided in the scripting application. Nortel recommends that
you integrate these sample scripts with your existing Contact Center Manager
Server scripts so that multimedia contacts are routed correctly; however, you
may need to customize the sample scripts.

For more information about Multimedia scripts, see the Contact Center
Scripting Guide.

The sample scripts demonstrate the following functionality:


„ queuing a contact to a multimedia skillset using the contact
intrinsics %SKILLSET%SKILLSET and %PRIORITY%PRIORITY
„ queuing a contact to a multimedia agent using the contact
intrinsics %AGENT%AGENT and %PRIORITY%PRIORITY
„ handling scheduled contacts that have a callback date and time set using the
contact intrinsics %DATE%DATE, %TIME%TIME and NEXTYEAR
„ queuing contacts that were pulled by an agent using the Agent Desktop
using the contact intrinsic QUEUETYPE

The following sample scripts are included:


„ c_Master_Handles_Multimedia—This script passes execution for
multimedia contacts to the relevant primary script for the contact type. You
must add necessary voice handling sections to the master script.
„ EM_Email_Primary—This primary script is executed for e-mail contacts.
The script passes execution to the c_Scheduled_Contact_Handler script. 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.

146 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server

„ 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 waits the required number
of seconds until the Callback Time and then 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 on, the script queues the
multimedia contact to its assigned skillset.

The variables required for the Multimedia script implementation are provided in
the following table.

Variable Name Type Scope Class Default Value

c_contact_type_email_gv contact type global item Email

Installation and Maintenance Guide 189


Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server Standard 7.23

Step 33. Map users to addresses, terminals,


and contact center users

Before you map a configured user to another Communication Control Toolkit


resource, you must first make sure that the other resource exists and that it is
configured correctly.

You are not required to map terminals to agents if the agents handle only e-mail
contacts.

Map Contact Center users to Windows users, so that the Windows users have
access to the contact center software functionality. For example, when Contact
Center Agent Desktop is deployed, mapping a Contact Center user to a Windows
user identifies the Agent ID assigned to the user in Contact Center Manager
Administration.

Map Windows users to terminals or addresses to assign a communication point


to the Contact Center user, or agent, to handle contacts. For example, when CCT
identifies an incoming call is destined for a specific user, because the terminals
and addresses are mapped to the Windows user, CCT rings the correct terminal/
extension where the Windows user is working.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 199


Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server Standard 7.23

Step 34. Understand the contact types

You can use the Multimedia Administrator to configure the contact types in the
Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound component of Contact Center, including
outbound, e-mail, and Web communications.

The Operations and Administration Maintenance (OAM) service retrieves


information about skillsets, route points, and agents from the Contact Center
Manager server, and provides the data to the Multimedia Administrator to
configure Multimedia properties for skillset and agents.

You can use Contact Center Manager Administration to create skillsets and route
points. For more information about creating skillsets and route points, see the
Contact Center Manager Administrator’s Guide.

Your contact center licensing affects the contact types you are able to configure.
You can use the License Manager file on Contact Center Manager Server to
determine what licenses you have. For more information about the license codes,
see Appendix B, “Feature licensing.” All of the contact types are described in
Step 35. “Log on to the Multimedia Administrator” on page 204.

Configuring the outbound contacts


Use the Outbound Campaign Management Tool to create, modify, and monitor
outbound campaigns. An outbound campaign is a series of outbound calls for
one specific purpose, for example, a customer survey or a sales promotion. You
can configure a maximum of 20 outbound campaigns with 2500 contacts in each
campaign.

Only one step is required to configure outbound contacts: configure the route
points for all outbound skillsets.

Configuring the E-Mail Manager


Use the E-Mail Manager to communicate with customers over the internet.
Customers communicate using their e-mail client application to receive an e-
mail response from the agent. The E-mail Manager provides the following
functionality:

200 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server

„ the ability of the contact center to receive e-mail requests from multiple
mailboxes and multiple servers for presentation to agents as multimedia
contacts
„ intelligent routing of e-mail to deliver each e-mail message to the agent
who has the subject knowledge to respond, send an auto-response, or close
the contact
„ an Agent Desktop interface for agents to respond efficiently to customers
without need for a desktop e-mail client
„ easy referencing of the thread of conversation between the customer and the
agent
„ the ability to select a contact type based on the e-mail message and
attachments received, such as text messages (SMS), voice mail, or fax
messages
„ the ability to handle contacts using one method when the contact center is
open and another method when the contact center is closed

Some steps are required to configure the E-mail Manager: configure the
skillsets, setup the servers, and configure the default rules for a recipient
mailbox.

Configuring the Web Communications Manager


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 functionality:
„ 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

Installation and Maintenance Guide 201


Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server Standard 7.23

Some steps are required to configure the Web Communications Manager:


configure the skillsets, and configure the Web server.

Some definitions to know


The following is a list of definitions that you need to understand before
configuring the contact types in Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound.
„ A skillset is a label applied to a set of skills, capabilities, or knowledge that
an agent requires to respond to a given request. The skillsets are retrieved
from the Contact Center Manager database. You must select a route point
for a skillset used to route outbound contacts.
„ A route point is a location on the open queue that queues incoming calls to
and runs through a script on the Contact Center Manager Server.
„ An autoresponse is an e-mail message sent to a customer with no agent
interaction. An auto-response can be an intelligent response, such as a sales
promotion flyer, or an acknowledgement, such as “We received your e-mail
and will respond to you within three days.”
„ A recipient mailbox is a container on the e-mail server that holds e-mail
messages. Standard mailboxes are monitored by the Contact Center E-mail
Manager, which routes the e-mail to an agent or group of agents (skillset)
based on an analytical search of the sender address, the recipient address,
the subject and body of an e-mail for predetermined keywords, or a
combination of these. The e-mail server must be compliant with Post Office
Protocol 3 (POP3) and Standard Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
Every POP3 mailbox used by the Contact Center Multimedia server
requires basic authentication to facilitate e-mail retrieval. Basic
authentication passes the mailbox user and password in clear text to the e-
mail server. You can increase your security by adding Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) encryption. For more information about SSL encryption, see “Enable
SSL on the E-mail Manager” on page 1281.
„ An e-mail alias is not a real e-mail account; an alias is an address that
forwards all e-mail messages it receives to another e-mail account. For
example, the mailbox general@magscripts.com can have the aliases
carz@magsubscriptions.com and planez@magsubscriptions.com. E-mail
messages addressed to either of these aliases are forwarded to the
general@magscripts.com mailbox. The Email Manager routes the e-mail
messages according to the rules based on the alias mailboxes.

202 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server

Aliases can be useful to filter e-mail messages. For example, you can define
an alias for a short promotional period after which e-mail messages that
arrive at that alias are discarded.
„ A text chat session is a two-way conversation between an agent and a
customer. The exchange of messages is private to the customer and agent.
„ Web-on-hold is a set of Web pages that appear in a customer Web browser
while the customer waits for an agent to answer the contact.
„ A page push is the ability of an agent or a customer to send a URL to the
other party.

Configuring the e-mail servers


You must configure the following:
„ An inbound server (POP3) for e-mail messages received by the contact
center
„ An outbound server (SMTP) for e-mail messages sent by the contact center

If you configured the e-mail servers during installation, then skip this step.

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.

You must ensure that the primary and secondary servers are configured with
identical mailbox names, passwords, and SMTP authentication settings (if
applicable).

214 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server

If you are licensed for e-mail messages, the New Recipient window appears and
you can continue configuring your requirements for the E-mail Manager.

Creating a recipient mailbox


Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound polls specific recipient mailboxes on the
e-mail server based on a list of mailboxes defined in the Multimedia
Administrator recipients list. The e-mail retrieved from these mailboxes is
routed based on defined rules that can are applied to either enabled or alias
mailboxes. You must ensure that any enabled e-mail address that you want to
configure in the E-mail Manager is already configured on your corporate e-mail
server.

For example, the mailbox general@magscripts.com can have the aliases


carz@magsubscriptions.com and planez@magsubscriptions.com. E-mail
messages addressed to either of these aliases are forwarded to the
general@magscripts.com mailbox. The treatment of the two aliases can be
different, because the routing rules are based on the aliases. In Contact Center
Multimedia, you must configure an enabled recipient mailbox -
general@magscripts.com, and the alias mailboxes, carz@magsubscripts.com
and planez@magscripts.com.

To create a recipient mailbox


Mailbox names are case-sensitive. You must type the mailbox name exactly as it
appears on your e-mail server.
1 On the New Recipient window, in the Mailbox Name box, type the name of
a mailbox set up the e-mail server.
Tip: 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
domain in the format domain\user (Windows 2000) or user@domain (post-
Windows 2000) in the Mailbox Name box.
Example: To enter the e-mail address sales@nortel.com, in the Mailbox
Name box, type sales, and in the E-mail Domain box, type nortel.com.
Example: To enter the e-mail address sales@europe.nortel.com, in the
Mailbox Name box, type europe\sales or sales@europe.nortel.com, and in
the E-mail Domain box, type europe.nortel.com.
2 In the E-mail Domain box, type the domain for your e-mail server.

Result: The System Default Rule window appears. The New Recipient
window is still open for your reference.

Modifying the system default rule


The system default rule is used one of two ways:
1. If the e-mail message has an address that matches a recipient mailbox
configured in the E-mail Manager, it is used as a template for the last rule in
the recipient mailbox. It ensures that an e-mail addressed to the recipient is
assigned to a skillset, if it matches no other regular user-defined rules.
2. If the e-mail message has an address that does not match a recipient
mailbox configured in the E-mail Manager, the system default rule is used
to assign the e-mail to a skillset.

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 217


Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server Standard 7.23

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

Risk of routing failure


.

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.

The default settings for the system default rule are:


„ use the e-mail default skillset, EM_Default_Skillset
„ use no auto-response
„ assign priority 3 (medium high)

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 207.

To modify the system default rule


1 From the Skillset list, select a skillset name. You can accept the current
default.To select the route point for the skillset, perform the following steps:
a. Click Properties to open the skillset properties to change the route
point.

Result: The System Delivery Failure Rule window appears.

Modifying the system delivery failure rule


The system delivery failure rule is used for one of the following purposes:
1. If the e-mail message has an address that matches a recipient mailbox
configured in the E-mail Manager, the system delivery failure rule is used
as a template for the first rule applied in all recipient mailboxes. It ensures
that an e-mail message that contains particular phrases, such as
undeliverable, is not routed to agents.
2. If the e-mail message has an address that does not match a recipient
mailbox configured in the E-mail Manager, the system delivery failure rule
deletes the e-mail message if it contains particular phrases, such as
undeliverable.

To modify the system delivery failure 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.

220 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Installing the Multimedia/Outbound server

When you create a recipient mailbox, the system delivery failure rule is copied
as the first regular rule into list of rules for the recipient mailbox.

By default, the following keywords are used in the Delivery failure keywords
keyword group:
„ Delivery Failure
„ Undeliverable
„ 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.

When you create a mailbox, it is automatically assigned a delivery failure rule,


which is copied from the system delivery failure rule.

CAUTION

Logging on existing customers


The loginCustomer.jsp page is the HTML form that customers use to enter their
username and password. When the form is submitted, the username and
password are passed to loginCustomer_WSClient.jsp, which invokes the
customerLogin Web method.

Note: Customer user names created using the Customer Interface must have user
names in the format of a valid e-mail address such as user@nortel.com. Use
valid user names for the sample Web site for demonstrations. When deploying
customized Web sites, you must enforce the user name format. See the Contact
Center Multimedia Web Communication Toolkit Developer guides for more
information.

Using the Web communications customer interface Standard 7.23

If the customerLogin method returns an error code indicating that the customer
is already logged on, then the customerAlreadyLoggedIn.jsp page is displayed.

If the customer chooses yes to continue, then the loginCustomer_WSClient.jsp


is loaded again with the forceLogoff parameter set to true. The page logs off the
customer using the CustomerLogoff Web methods and then log in the customer
again using the CustomerLogin Web method.

260 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Using the Web communications customer interface

The customerLogin Web method returns a session key if the customer is logged
on successfully. The session key is required to call any other Web methods for
the customer, so it is stored as a session variable that can be used by other .jsp
pages in the sample CI Web site.

When the customer is logged on to the Web site, the sample page is displayed.
Customers use the opening page to request a text chat, a callback, or an e-mail
message from the contact center.

Logging off existing customers


The logoffCustomer.jsp page contains the HTML form with the username and
Logoff button. When the form is submitted, the username is passed to the page
logoffCustomer_WSClient.jsp, which invokes the customerLogoff Web method
to log the customer off the Web site.

Reviewing a customer contact history


The last 20 contacts associated with a customer appear in the
readCustContactHist_WSClient.jsp page, by default. The customer can navigate
through blocks of 20 contacts using the navigation arrows above the contact
history. You can configure the number of contacts displayed on this page by
modifying the NO_OF_CONTACTS_TO_DISPLAY property in the web.xml
file in the webapps\CI_Sample_Website|WEB_INF folder.

264 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Using the Web communications customer interface

This page uses one of four web methods to retrieve the correct block of contacts:
„ ReadFirstBlockOfContacts
„ ReadLastBlockOfContacts
„ ReadNextBlockOfContacts
„ ReadPreviousBlockOfContacts

The Web method that is called is controlled by the parameter pageControl which
can have the value of first, last, next, or previous, depending on the navigation
arrow the customer clicks.

Another parameter, startContactID is called when pageControl is either prev or


next to call the Web methods ReadNextBlockOfContacts and
ReadPreviousBlockOfContacts with the correct contact ID used as a starting
point.

When a customer clicks any contact ID in the history list, the


readContact_WSClient.jsp page invokes the readContact Web method to read
the contact details from the Contact Center Multimedia database and display the
information.

Requesting a text chat session


The requestTextChat.jsp page is the HTML form that customers use to request a
text chat session. The getWebSkillsets_WSClient.jsp page shows the list of Web
communications skillsets retrieved by the getAllWebSkillsets Web method.

266 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Using the Web communications customer interface

When the customer requests a text chat session, the skillset, subject, and
objective are passed to requestTextChat_WSClient.jsp. The
requestTextChat_WSClient.jsp page check if the selected skillset is in service
before creating the Web communications contact using the IsSkillsetInService
Web method. If the skillset is in service, then the contact is routed to the skillset.
If the skillset is not in service, then the following message appears and a closed
Web communications contact is created as a record of the customer’s attempt to
request a text chat.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 267


Using the Web communications customer interface Standard 7.23

The closed Web contact is created using the RequestTextChat Web method with
the createAsClosed parameter set to true.

If the selected skillset is in service, the Web contact is created as a new contact
in the Contact Center Multimedia database using the requestTextChat Web
method with the createAsClosed parameter set to false. The customer is directed
to the Web communications URL, http://<webserver>:8080/WebComms/jsp/
index.jsp, where <webserver> is the host name of your Web server.

Note: The default port for Apache Tomcat server is 8080. For information about
changing the default port, see the Apache Tomcat documentation.

The requestTextChat Web method passes the session key of the currently logged
on customer and the contact ID of the new Web communication contact to the
Web communications URL. The text chat page appears on the customer desktop.

For example, your Web communications URL can be http://<webserver>:8080/


WebComms/jsp/index.jsp?sessionKey=2qrc3E7a00&contactID=637142.

Note: You must redirect the customers to this URL using the session key and
contact ID parameters to display the customer text chat window.

The Web Communications Web-on-hold page appears in the customer text chat
window.

Requesting a scheduled callback


The requestScheduledCallback.jsp page is the HTML form customers use to
request a scheduled callback at a specified date and time. The
getOutboundSkillsets_WSClient.jsp Web method within this page displays a list
of outbound skillsets.

Scheduled callbacks must be created in an outbound skillset (OB_) as scheduled


callback contacts are licensed under the outbound license. Agents must have an
Outbound license to originate a call to a customer. Scheduled callbacks are
presented differently to agents because they are not associated with an outbound
campaign. There is no agent script or outbound disposition code presented to an
agent when a scheduled callback contact is complete.

ATTENTION
The time for the callback is displayed in the Outbound
Campaign tool on Contact Center Manager Administration
on the Progress and Results screen in Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT). You must convert the time to the local time
for the customer who receives the outbound call.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 269


Using the Web communications customer interface Standard 7.23

When the form is submitted, the Callback Time is converted to a millisecond


value. This value is stored in a hidden form input variable called
callback_time_milliseconds, which is passed along with the values of the other
fields to the RequestScheduledCallback_WSClient.jsp page. The
RequestScheduledCallback_WSClient.jsp page calls the
requestScheduledCallback Web method to create the scheduled callback contact
in the Contact Center Multimedia database.

Requesting an immediate callback


The requestImmediateCallback.jsp page is the HTML form that a customer uses
to request an immediate callback. The getOutboundSkillsets_WSClient.jsp page
displays a list of outbound skillsets.

An immediate callback is treated as a scheduled callback contact with the


current Multimedia server date and time entered as the callback date and time.
Scheduled callback contacts must be created in outbound skillsets (OB_) as
outbound contacts are licensed under the outbound license. Agents must have an

270 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound

Outbound license to originate a call to a customer. Scheduled callbacks are


presented differently to agents because they are not associated with an outbound
campaign. There is no agent script or outbound disposition code presented to an
agent when a scheduled callback contact is complete..

ATTENTION
The time for the callback is displayed in the Outbound
Campaign tool on Contact Center Manager Administration
on the Progress and Results screen in Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT). You must convert the time to the local time
for the customer who receives the outbound call.

When the form is submitted, the values of the fields are passed to the
requestImmediateCallback_WSClient.jsp page, which first checks if the chosen
skillset is in service using the IsSkillsetInService Web method. If the skillset is
not in service, then the scheduled callback contact is created using the
requestImmediateCallback and a message appears indicating that the callback
request is handled when the skillset is in service.

If the chosen skillset is in service, then the scheduled callback contact is created
using the RequestImmediateCallback method and the confirmation message
appears.

Submitting HTML forms as an e-mail message


The submitHTMLForm.jsp page is the HTML form that the customer uses to
submit an HTML form as an e-mail message. When this form is submitted, the
values of the input fields are passed to sendmail.jsp. The sendmail.jsp page uses
the JavaMail libraries and SMTP server (configured during installation) to send
an e-mail message to the specified To address using the customer default e-mail
account. The To address must be a recipient mailbox configured in Contact
Center Multimedia Administrator.

272 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Using the Web communications customer interface

The values in the Text Field 1, Text Field 2, Choice 1, Choice 2, and Text Area
fields in the form are sent in the body of the e-mail message.

Note: No CI Web service methods are used to send the HTML form as an e-mail
message.

You can configure the Contact Center Multimedia rules to route these e-mail
messages to a specific skillset based on keywords in the e-mail subject.

Sending a password reminder


The passwordReminder.jsp page is the HTML form that customers use to enter
their e-mail address and retrieve their password to log on to the company Web
site. When this form is submitted, the e-mail address entered by the customer is
passed to the passwordReminder_WSClient.jsp page. The
sendPasswordReminder Web method resets the customer password and sends
the customer the password reminder autoresponse configured in the Contact
Center Multimedia Administrator.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 273


Using the Web communications customer interface Standard 7.23

The EM_Default_Skillset must have an outgoing e-mail address mapped in the


Multimedia Administrator for password reminder requests from the sample CI
Web site.

You can configure a different skillset for password reminder requests by


configuring the PASSWORD_REMINDER_SKILLSET property in the
web.xml file in the webapps\CI_Sample_Website\WEB_INF folder. The text of
the password reminder is configured in the Contact Center Multimedia
Administrator in auto-responses. For more information, see “Adding an auto-
response to the rule” on page 1136.

If the e-mail address entered in the form does not correspond to the e-mail
address of an existing customer in the Multimedia database, the customer
receives a message indicating that they cannot log on.

Displaying session timeout


A customer session on the sample CI Web site times out after 10 minutes of
inactivity. If a customer attempts to use the sample pages after the session
expires, the loginCustomer_timeout.jsp page appears so the customer can log on
again.

You can change the session timeout value in the web.xml file for the sample CI
Web site.

Using Web-on-hold
Web-on-hold is a Web page that is presented automatically to customers Web
browsers while customers are waiting for an agent to begin their text chat. You
can define the length of time that each URL appears on the customer Web
browser.

For example, the customer sees the following screen.

Using the Web communications customer interface Standard 7.23

You can also configure a group of Web pages about a new product they are
selling. When designing the Web site, the Web developer can programmatically
choose which Web-on-hold group to display to the user depending on the
business logic (such as region of the customer or the time of year).

When the agent joins the conversation, the Web-on-hold page is replaced and the
session status is in progress.

Using text chat


An agent and a customer use text chat to communicate with each other through a
bidirectional exchange of chat messages. The text chat frame shows the
complete record of the conversation. Although only four or five lines of text are
visible in the frame, you can scroll the frame up or down to view the entire text.
This area also shows the URL of any pages that are viewed or pushed by the
agent or the customer.

Prevent blocked invitations

The Web Communications Manager relies on the HTTP protocol to transport


messages between the agent and customer using Web service read and write
calls. Because all traffic goes through port 80, no new ports need to be opened
though the firewall. This means that customers based in corporations with
limited internet access can still chat with an agent.

Initially, a customer is placed in Web-on-hold to wait for an agent to join the


call. The customer browser is redirected to a frame-based Web page that
displays video and interactive content while the customer is waiting for the
agent. The customer Web browser is redirected to the chat conversation when
the agent joins the session.

Among the exchanged messages, a request can be made to have a Web page
pushed to the other party. The message is requesting the customer or agent to
load a URL. The agent and customer are loading separate copies of the same url
thus safeguarding privacy by not sharing cookies or personalized pages. In
addition, existing controls in place by customer or agent internet access is
respected. For example, sites barred by a contact center IT department cannot be
pushed to an agent by a customer.

The capability of many browsers to prevent popups do not affect the text chat
conversations between customers and agents. All pages pushed from the agent to
the customer load within the central frame above the text chat conversation and
no separate pop-up windows appear.

As with any internet connection, it is important for customers and contact


centers to maintain current antivirus definitions and antispyware.

Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0 Standard 7.23

Overview

Contact Center Multimedia server release 6.0 requires different operating


system, and application deployment technologies. Upgrading from Symposium
Web Center Portal to Contact Center Multimedia is an optional step, and it can
be performed when a business need exists that requires the historical information
from Symposium Web Center Portal to become available via Contact Center
Multimedia reporting.

If you want to upgrade the database from the previous release, Symposium Web
Center Portal Release 4.0, you must install your Contact Center Multimedia
software on a new server. You cannot upgrade your Contact Center Multimedia
software directly from a previous installation.

The Contact Center Multimedia Technical Requirements and Operating System


Configuration guide outlines the requirements for the Contact Center
Multimedia server. If your current Symposium Web Center Portal Release 4.0
server currently meets the requirements for the Contact Center Multimedia
server and you do not want to keep data from Symposium Web Center Portal
Release 4.0, you can upgrade your current server to run Contact Center
Multimedia. You must erase all data, including the Operating System from the
server, and format the server according to the information provided in Contact
Center Multimedia Technical Requirements and Operating System
Configuration guide. No Symposium Web Center Portal Release 4.0 information
can remain on the server.

ATTENTION
The procedures in this section describe installing an upgrade
of Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound 6.0. If you are
reinstalling the server software on a new server, see Chapter 7,
“Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server.”

ATTENTION
After the data is migrated to the Multimedia database, you
cannot return to the previous release.

March 2008 Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0

Web communications upgrades


There are some extra considerations if you are upgrading from SWCP 4.0 to
Contact Center Multimedia:
„ If you are upgrading from SWCP 4.0 Web communications to Contact
Center Multimedia 6.0 Web communications, there should be no
outstanding contacts. All Web communications contacts that are in an open
or new state must be closed prior to performing the upgrade. The
outstanding Web communication session cannot be completed after the
upgrade.
„ Contact Center Multimedia 6.0 Web communications uses an improved
architecture. The Web services infrastructure uses application builder to
easily integrate it capabilities into your Web site. You must make some
modifications to your existing SWCP application to function in the Contact
Center Multimedia environment. You can still reuse the presentation layer
of your application, however the logic of the application must be
redeveloped to use the web service architecture. For information about
using the Web services, see “Using the Web communications customer
interface” on page 255 and the Web service documentation.

Portal Release 4.0 database before you start the migration process to ensure that
only relevant data is migrated.

Perform the following tasks:


1 Stop the Symposium Web Center Portal E-mail Manager service to prevent
new transactions.
2 Close transactions with states that are not valid in the Contact Center
Multimedia Release 6.0 database:
„ All transactions with a status of Pending.
„ All transactions with a status of New Reply.
3 Limit the number of transactions remaining in the Symposium Web Center
Portal database. The maximum number of open transactions is 100.
4 Purge or archive as much data as possible.

Step 4. Install your remote support access


tool

Nortel recommends that you install and configure a remote support access tool
before you install Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound so you can access
technical support during the installation procedure, if required.

Nortel personnel use pcAnywhere 11.5 as the preferred remote support access
tool. To install and configure the Host Only version of pcAnywhere version 11.5
on the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server, see “Installing pcAnywhere
11.5 as your remote support access tool,” on page 302.

Alternatively, Nortel accepts Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for


Administration as a remote support access tool for customers on a Windows
2003 platform. This alternative is provided for customers whose security policy
does not allow pcAnywhere or for customers who are using Microsoft Remote
Desktop Connection as the remote support tool for all computers on their
network. For details about enabling Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for
Administration, see “Using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection as your
remote support access tool,” on page 314.

Note: Nortel recommends that you install only one of the supported remote
access tools (pcAnywhere or Remote Desktop Connection) on the Contact
Center Multimedia/Outbound server.

Nortel provides guidelines for setting up remote support using a virtual private
network (VPN). For more information, see the Nortel Contact Center Planning
and Engineering Guide.

Step 7. Provide local users with Log on as a


Service right

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.

You must configure CCMMOPSUSR only if you are licensed for e-mail in your
contact center.

Adding the users


1 On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > Administrative Tools >
Local Security Policy.

This procedure is optional. If you do not have a license for the E-mail Manager,
proceed directly to Step 10. “Verify the Multimedia database installation” on
page 357.

Access on a shared folder is determined through two sets of permission entries:


the permissions set on the share (called share permissions) and the permissions
set on the folder (called NTFS file and folder permissions).

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 7. “Provide local users with Log on as a Service right” on
page 330.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 335


Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0 Standard 7.23

client

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 or Windows Explorer
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.

From a client, supervisors or administrators can open the Outbound Campaign


Management Tool from the Contact Center Manager Administrator to create
outbound campaigns and load them to the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound
server for execution.

362 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0

Step 13. Install .NET Framework on clients

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.

You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET Framework on

364 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0

Step 14. Configure access to client


applications

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.

The Nortel Multimedia security policy file, CCMM_Security_Policy.msi


(Microsoft Installer), contains a policy level for the client to download and run
assemblies with a particular strong name. A strong name consists of the
assembly identity (name, version number, private key) and a public key. The
Outbound Campaign Management Tool and the Contact Center Agent Desktop
assemblies are digitally signed with a strong name based on the private key.
After it is installed, the CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file instructs the clients to
trust the assemblies with the strong name assigned to the Outbound Campaign
Management Tool and the Contact Center Agent Desktop. You can install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file while you are logged on to the server as the
local administrator.

Installing the CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file


You must install the current Nortel CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file that is
included in the latest service update. For more information about the latest
service update, visit www.nortel.com.

There are three methods to install the security policy:


„ a manual install, recommended for to test the client applications on one or
two clients

Installation and Maintenance Guide 365


Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0 Standard 7.23

„ SMS, recommended by Nortel, to install the msi file on multiple clients


„ Windows group policy to install the .msi file on multiple clients

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 SMS documentation on the Microsoft Web site at
http://www.microsoft.com.

Experienced system administrators can deploy the CCMM_Security_Policy.msi


file.

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.

Confirming that the security policy is applied


To confirm that the security policy is applied on any client, perform the
following check:
1 On the Windows Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel >
Administrative Tools > Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Configuration.
2 Expand Runtime Security Policy > Machine > Code Groups > All_Code.

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 372. 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.

Checklist for agent phonesets


To configure agent phoneset terminal numbers (TN) on the switch for use with
the Communication Control Toolkit, you must complete the tasks in this
checklist

CS 1000/Meridian 1 for the agent Done

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.

If you are enabling outbound or scheduled callback dialing, ensure ❑


that a personal Dialed Number (DN) key is created on the contact
center agent phoneset.

Enable Associated Set Assignment (AST) for the ACD key and for ❑
one of the other personal DN keys.
AST can only be configured on a maximum of two keys.

Step 16. Create a Windows user for each agent

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
373.

You must be logged on as the domain administrator or a member of the


administrators group to create user accounts.

Configuring the user accounts


1 Log on to the relevant domain controller with administrative privileges.
2 Open Active Directory Users and Computers. Click Start > All Programs >
Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.
3 Select the Domain used for Contact Center Agent Resources.
4 On the Action menu, click New > User.
5 Complete the relevant user details such as first name, last name, and user
logon name and then click Next.
6 Enter and confirm the user password, and then click Next.
Tip: A Microsoft Exchange e-mail mailbox for users is not required by
Contact Center Multimedia, however, you can create a mailbox for the
agent depending on your user requirements.
7 Review the user details.
8 Click Finish to create the Windows user.

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.

If you want to set up other password requirements such as minimum length,


expiration time, or uniqueness, open Group Policy and go to Password Policy.

March 2008 Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0

Step 17. Configure the e-mail server

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.

Every POP3 mailbox used by the Contact Center Multimedia server requires
basic authentication to facilitate e-mail retrieval. Basic authentication passes the
mailbox user and password in clear text to the e-mail server. You can increase
your security by adding Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. For more
information about SSL encryption, see “Enable SSL on the E-mail Manager” on
page 1281.

Step 32. Configure the sample multimedia


scripts

Scripts for Contact Center Multimedia correctly route multimedia contacts.


Sample scripts are provided in the scripting application. Nortel recommends that
you integrate these sample scripts with your existing Contact Center Manager
Server scripts so that multimedia contacts are routed correctly; however, you
may need to customize the sample scripts.

For more information about Multimedia scripts, see the Contact Center
Scripting Guide.

The sample scripts demonstrate the following functionality:


„ queuing a contact to a multimedia skillset using the contact
intrinsics %SKILLSET%SKILLSET and %PRIORITY%PRIORITY
„ queuing a contact to a multimedia agent using the contact
intrinsics %AGENT%AGENT and %PRIORITY%PRIORITY
„ handling scheduled contacts that have a callback date and timeset using the
contact intrinsics %DATE%DATE, %TIME%TIME and NEXTYEAR
„ queuing contacts that were pulled by an agent using the Agent Desktop
using the contact intrinsic QUEUETYPE

The following sample scripts are included:


„ c_Master_Handles_Multimedia—This script passes execution for
multimedia contacts to the relevant primary script for the contact's type.
Any necessary voice handling sections need to be added in the master
script.
„ EM_Email_Primary—This primary script is executed for e-mail contacts.
The script passes execution to the c_Scheduled_Contact_Handler script. 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.

424 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0

„ 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 waits the required number
of seconds until the Callback Time and then 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.

The variables required for the Multimedia script implementation are provided in
the following table.

Variable Name Type Scope Class Default Value

c_contact_type_email_gv contact type global item Email

c_contact_type_outbound_gv contact type global item Outbound

administrator must be logged on to the server using a domain user account
that is also a local administrator account on the Communication Control
Toolkit server.

Step 41. Map users to addresses, terminals,


and contact center users

Before you map a configured user to another Communication Control Toolkit


resource, you must first make sure that the other resource exists and that it is
configured correctly.

You are not required to map terminals to agents if the agents handle only e-mail
contacts.

Map Contact Center users to Windows users, so that the Windows users have
access to the contact center software functionality. For example, when Contact
Center Agent Desktop is deployed, mapping a Contact Center user to a Windows
user identifies the Agent ID assigned to the user in Contact Center Manager
Administration.

Map Windows users to terminals or addresses to assign a communication point


to the Contact Center user, or agent, to handle contacts. For example, when CCT
identifies an incoming call is destined for a specific user, because the terminals
and addresses are mapped to the Windows user, CCT rings the correct terminal/
extension where the Windows user is working

Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0 Standard 7.23

Step 42. Understand the new contact types

You can use the Multimedia Administrator to configure the contact types in the
Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound component of Contact Center, including
outbound, e-mail, and Web communications.

The Operations and Administration Maintenance (OAM) service retrieves


information about skillsets, route points, and agents from the Contact Center
Manager server, and provides the data to the Multimedia Administrator to
configure Multimedia properties for skillset and agents.

You can use the Contact Center Manager Administrator to create skillsets and
route points. For more information about creating skillsets and route points, see
the Contact Center Manager Administrator’s Guide.

Your contact center licensing affects the contact types you are able to configure.
You can use the License Manager file on Contact Center Manager Server to
determine what licenses you have. For more information about the license codes,
see Appendix B, “Feature licensing.” All of the contact types are described in
Step 43. “Log on to the Multimedia Administrator” on page 482.

Configuring the outbound contacts


Use the Outbound Campaign Management Tool to create, modify, and monitor
outbound campaigns. An outbound campaign is a series of outbound calls for
one specific purpose, for example, a customer survey or a sales promotion. You
can configure a maximum of 20 outbound campaigns with 2500 contacts in each
campaign.

Only one step is required to configure outbound contacts: configure the route
points for all outbound skillsets.

Configuring the E-Mail Manager


Use the E-Mail Manager to communicate with customers over the internet.
Customers communicate using their e-mail client application to receive an e-
mail response from the agent. The E-mail Manager provides the following
functionality:

478 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0

„ the ability of the contact center to receive e-mail requests from multiple
mailboxes and multiple servers for presentation to agents as multimedia
contacts
„ intelligent routing of e-mail to deliver each e-mail message to the agent
who has the subject knowledge to respond, send an auto-response, or close
the contact
„ an Agent Desktop interface for agents to respond efficiently to customers
without need for a desktop e-mail client
„ easy referencing of the thread of conversation between the customer and the
agent
„ the ability to select a contact type based on the e-mail message and
attachments received, such as text messages (SMS), voice mail, or fax
messages
„ the ability to handle contacts using one method when the contact center is
open and another method when the contact center is closed

Some steps are required to configure the E-mail Manager: configure the
skillsets, setup the servers, and configure the default rules for a recipient
mailbox.

Configuring the Web Communications Manager


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 functionality:
„ 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

Installation and Maintenance Guide 479


Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0 Standard 7.23

Some steps are required to configure the Web Communications Manager:


configure the skillsets, and configure the Web server.

Some definitions to know


The following is a list of definitions that you need to understand before
configuring the contact types in Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound.
„ A skillset is a label applied to a set of skills, capabilities, or knowledge that
an agent requires to respond to a given request. The skillsets are retrieved
from the Contact Center Manager database. You must select a route point
for a skillset used to route outbound contacts.
„ A route point is a location on the open queue that queues incoming calls to
and runs through a script on the Contact Center Manager Server.
„ An auto-response is an e-mail message sent to a customer with no agent
interaction. An auto-response can be an intelligent response, such as a sales
promotion flyer, or an acknowledgement, such as “We received your e-mail
and will respond to you within three days.”
„ A recipient mailbox is a container on the e-mail server that hold e-mail
messages. Standard mailboxes are monitored by the Contact Center E-mail
Manager, which routes the e-mail to an agent or group of agents (skillset)
based on an analytical search of the sender address, the recipient address,
the subject and body of an e-mail for predetermined keywords, or a
combination of these. The e-mail server must be compliant with Post Office
Protocol 3 (POP3) and Standard Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
Every POP3 mailbox used by the Contact Center Multimedia server
requires basic authentication to facilitate e-mail retrieval. Basic
authentication passes the mailbox user and password in clear text to the e-
mail server. You can increase your security by adding Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) encryption. For more information about SSL encryption, see “Enable
SSL on the E-mail Manager” on page 1281.
„ An e-mail alias is not a real e-mail account; an alias is an address that
forwards all e-mail messages it receives to another e-mail account. For
example, the mailbox general@magscripts.com can have the aliases
carz@magsubscriptions.com and planez@magsubscriptions.com. E-mail
addressed to either of these aliases are forwarded to the
general@magscripts.com mailbox. The Email Manager routes the e-mail
messages according to the rules based on the alias mailboxes.

480 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0

Aliases can be useful to filter e-mail messages. For example, you can define
an alias for a short promotional period after which e-mail messages that
arrive at that alias are discarded.
„ A text chat session is a two-way conversation between an agent and a
customer. The exchange of messages is private to the customer and agent.
„ Web-on-hold is a set of Web pages that appear in a customer Web browser
while the customer waits for an agent to answer the contact.
„ A page push is the ability of an agent or a customer to send a URL to the
other party.

Configuring the e-mail servers


You must configure the following:
„ An inbound server (POP3) for e-mail messages received by the contact
center
„ An outbound server (SMTP) for e-mail messages sent by the contact center

Note: If you configured the e-mail servers during installation, then skip this step.

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).

March 2008 Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0

If you are licensed for e-mail messages, the New Recipient window appears and
you can continue configuring your requirements for the E-mail Manager.

Creating a recipient mailbox


Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound polls specific recipient mailboxes on the
e-mail server based on a list of mailboxes defined in the Multimedia
Administrator recipients list. The e-mail retrieved from these mailboxes is
routed based on defined rules that can are applied to either enabled or alias
mailboxes. You must ensure that any enabled e-mail address that you want to
configure in the E-mail Manager is already configured on your corporate e-mail
server.

For example, the mailbox general@magscripts.com can have the aliases


carz@magsubscriptions.com and planez@magsubscriptions.com. E-mail
messages addressed to either of these aliases are forwarded to the
general@magscripts.com mailbox. The treatment of the two aliases can be
different, because the routing rules are based on the aliases. In Contact Center
Multimedia, you must configure all enabled and alias mailboxes. In this
example, you must configured the enabled recipient mailbox,
general@magscripts.com, and the alias mailboxes, carz@magsubscripts.com
and planez@magscripts.com.

To create a recipient mailbox


Mailbox names are case-sensitive. You must type the mailbox name exactly as it
appears on your e-mail server.
1 On the New Recipient window, in the Mailbox Name box, type the name of
a mailbox set up the 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
domain in the format domain\user (Windows 2000) or user@domain (post-
Windows 2000) in the Mailbox Name box.
Example: To enter the e-mail address sales@nortel.com, in the Mailbox
Name box, type sales, and in the E-mail Domain box, type nortel.com.
Example: To enter the e-mail address sales@europe.nortel.com, in the
Mailbox Name box, type europe\sales or sales@europe.nortel.com, and in
the E-mail Domain box, type europe.nortel.com.
2 In the E-mail Domain box, type the domain for your e-mail server.

„ Select the Enabled option to include the e-mail mailbox in the set of
mailboxes from which incoming e-mail is retrieved.
„ Select the Alias option to configure this mailbox as an alias. The
address of an alias can be used in rules configuration and outbox
mapping, but a recipient box configured as an alias address not contain
e-mail.
9 In the Process Up to box, enter the maximum number of e-mail messages
the mailbox can accept every time it scans the database. You can enter a
different value for this variable for each mailbox. The default value is 10.
10 Select the Use alternative username for SMTP Authentication box if you
are configuring an inbox as an alias. If SMTP authentication is enabled on
your E-mail Server, and you are using aliases, you log on to the SMTP
server with a different user name.
11 In the Username box, type the SMTP server logon name.
Note: You can have mailboxes on multiple e-mail servers. You can have
multiple e-mail servers for e-mail or fax messages, load balancing, and
managing e-mail subtypes. Each e-mail server is polled for the mailboxes
that it hosts. Configure additional e-mail servers using the Server
Configuration window and procedure described in “Configuring the e-mail

Modifying the system default rule


The system default rule is used one of two ways:
1. If the e-mail message has an address that matches a recipient mailbox
configured in the E-mail Manager, it is used as a template for the last rule in
the recipient mailbox. It ensures that an e-mail addressed to the recipient is
assigned to a skillset, if it matches no other regular user-defined rules.
2. If the e-mail message has an address that does not match a recipient
mailbox configured in the E-mail Manager, the system default rule is used
to assign the e-mail to a skillset.

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 495


Upgrading from SWCP Release 4.0 Standard 7.23

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

Risk of routing failure


.

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.

The default settings for the system default rule are:


„ use the e-mail default skillset, EM_Default_Skillset
„ use no auto-response
„ assign priority 3 (medium high)

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 485.

Modifying the system delivery failure rule


The system delivery failure rule is used for one of two purposes:
1. If the e-mail message has an address that matches a recipient mailbox
configured in the E-mail Manager, the system delivery failure rule is used
as a template for the first rule applied in all recipient mailboxes. It ensures
that an e-mail message that contains particular phrases, such as
undeliverable, are not routed to agents.
2. If the e-mail message has an address that does not match a recipient
mailbox configured in the E-mail Manager, the system delivery failure rule
deletes the e-mail message if it contains particular phrases, such as
undeliverable.

To modify the system delivery failure 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.

By default, the following keywords are used in the Delivery failure keywords
keyword group:
„ Delivery Failure
„ Undeliverable
„ 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.

When you create a mailbox, it is automatically assigned a delivery failure rule,


which is copied from the system delivery failure rule.

Step 45. Review migrated mailboxes and rules

All mailboxes that are migrated from Symposium Web Center Portal 4.0 are
created in Contact Center Multimedia 6.0 with a default rule assigned to each
one. This default rule routes incoming e-mail contacts to the default e-mail
skillset.

You can:
„ Modify the rules created for the migrated mailboxes to route contacts to
other skillsets
„ Disable the migrated mailboxes. You can disable a mailbox in the
Symposium Web Center Portal 4.0 Administrator, and then enable the
corresponding mailbox in Contact Center Multimedia Administrator.

Note: Ensure that you disable the mailboxes in Symposium Web Center Portal
4.0 before starting the E-mail Manager service outlined in the following step. If
mailboxes are configured in both Symposium Web Center Portal and Contact
Center Multimedia, both servers retrieve e-mail from the same mailboxes.

What is next?
Nortel recommends that you complete the base configuration of Contact Center
Multimedia/Outbound by working through the rest of this chapter. If you want to
add recipients, create rules, configure outbound e-mail settings, create barred e-
mail addresses, create closed reasons, or set outbound timers, you can perform
these tasks after you are finished the base configuration of Contact Center

Step 49. Configure hotdesking (optional)

You can use hotdesking to configure your contact center so that an agent can sit
at a different desk every day and log on to the Contact Center Agent Desktop.
With hotdesking enabled and properly configured, when agents start the Contact
Center Agent Desktop, they are automatically mapped to the relevant terminal
and addresses without user intervention.

Proper configuration for hotdesking Contact Center Agent Desktop applications


requires that each terminal is mapped to only one workstation in
Communication Control Toolkit.

When hotdesking is also configured for a Citrix environment, agents are


challenged with a dialog box asking them to enter a string that identifies their
workstation. The string must be the same as the string that is configured as the
workstation name in the Communication Control Toolkit configuration. You
must configure the popup dialog in a Citrix environment.

To configure hotdesking

Overview

If you currently have Contact Center Multimedia server release 6.0 installed, and
want to add another type of contact to your Contact Center, you must follow the
installation steps in this chapter.

If you are moving the Contact Center Multimedia to a new server, your new
server must follow the requirements for the Contact Center Multimedia server in
the Contact Center Multimedia Technical Requirements and Operating System
Configuration guide, and see Chapter 7, “Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new
server.”

If you are adding outbound contacts to your Contact Center Multimedia


software, after you upgrade your license, you must configure one extra setting in
the Multimedia Administrator to handle outbound contacts.

If you are adding e-mail to your Contact Center Multimedia software, after you
upgrade your license, you must configure extra settings in the Multimedia
Administrator to handle e-mail contacts.

If you are adding Web communications to your Contact Center Multimedia


software, after you upgrade your license, you must configure extra settings in the
Multimedia Administrator to handle the Web communications contacts. You
must also install the sample Web CI interface on a development server to create
your own corporate Web site. After your corporate Web site is completed and
tested, you can copy your corporate Web site to the production server.

ATTENTION
You must configure and install the Web server software on
the server where you develop your Web interface: not on a
server that is for production, nor the server where your
Contact Center Multimedia software and database is
installed.

Step 5. Configure access to client applications

The Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound Campaign Management Tool
applications are based on Microsoft .NET technology. 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.You can install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file while you are logged on to the server as the
local administrator.

Installing the latest CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file


You must install the current Nortel CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file that is
included in the latest service update. For more information about the latest
service update, visit www.nortel.com.

There are three methods to install the security policy:


„ a manual install, recommended for to test the client applications on one or
two clients
„ SMS, recommended by Nortel, to install the msi file on multiple clients
„ Windows group policy to install the .msi file on multiple clients

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 545


Upgrading licenses in your current installation Standard 7.23

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.

Note: Experienced system administrators can deploy the


CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file.

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.

Confirming that the security policy is applied


To confirm that the security policy is applied on any client, perform the
following check:
1 On the Windows Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel >
Administrative Tools > Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Configuration.
2 Expand Runtime Security Policy > Machine > Code Groups > All_Code.

Step 6. Configure the e-mail server

If you are adding e-mail contact type, configure the e-mail server. If you are not
adding the e-mail contact type to your Contact Center Multimedia application,
continue with Step 7. “Create additional agent phonesets,” on page 550.

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.

Every POP3 mailbox used by the Contact Center Multimedia server requires
basic authentication to facilitate e-mail retrieval. Basic authentication passes the
mailbox user and password in clear text to the e-mail server. You can increase
your security by adding Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. For more
information about SSL encryption, see “Enable SSL on the E-mail Manager” on
page 1281.

What is next?
Configure additional agent phonesets supervisors, agents, and route points if
required for your Contact Center. You can also update the multimedia skillsets.
Continue with Step 7. “Create additional agent phonesets,” on page 550 to
configure additional resources on Contact Center Manager Administration.

If you do not wish to configure additional phonesets, supervisors, agents, or


route points, continue to Step 23. “Check the prerequisites for the Web server,”
on page 634 to start the client applications.

Step 7. Create additional agent phonesets

You must add and acquire phonesets 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
Before you perform this procedure, you must configure the phoneset on the
switch.

Repeat these procedures for each phoneset you want to add.


1 Log on to Contact Center Manager Administration.
2 Click Configuration.
Result: The Configuration window appears.

3 On the system tree, double-click the server in Contact Center Manager


Server to which you want to add the phoneset. The server expands to
reveal its resources.

Step 8. Create additional multimedia skillsets

Use the following procedure to create a multimedia skillset. Repeat this


procedure for every skillset you want to create.

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 mailbox for each skillset from which you want to
send a reply, if you want to reserve the original To address as the Reply From
address. You can use the same mailbox for multiple skillsets.

When the skillsets are created, you must assign agents to the skillsets.

Step 11. Configure additional sample


multimedia scripts

Scripts for Contact Center Multimedia correctly route multimedia contacts.


Sample scripts are provided in the scripting application. Nortel recommends that
you integrate these sample scripts with your existing Contact Center Manager
Server scripts so that multimedia contacts are routed correctly; however, you
may need to customize the sample scripts.

For more information about Multimedia scripts, see the Contact Center
Scripting Guide.

The sample scripts demonstrate the following functionality:


„ queuing a contact to a multimedia skillset using the contact
intrinsics %SKILLSET%SKILLSET and %PRIORITY%PRIORITY
„ queuing a contact to a multimedia agent using the contact
intrinsics %AGENT%AGENT and %PRIORITY%PRIORITY
„ handling scheduled contacts that have a callback date and timeset using the
contact intrinsics %DATE%DATE, %TIME%TIME and NEXTYEAR
„ queuing contacts that were pulled by an agent using the Agent Desktop
using the contact intrinsic QUEUETYPE

The following sample scripts are included:


„ c_Master_Handles_Multimedia—This script passes execution for
multimedia contacts to the relevant primary script for the contact's type.
Any necessary voice handling sections need to be added in the master
script.
„ EM_Email_Primary—This primary script is executed for e-mail contacts.
The script passes execution to the c_Scheduled_Contact_Handler script. 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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 561


Upgrading licenses in your current installation Standard 7.23

„ 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 waits the required number
of seconds until the Callback Time and then 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.

The variables required for the Multimedia script implementation are provided in
the following table.

Variable Name Type Scope Class Default Value

c_contact_type_email_gv contact type global item Email

c_contact_type_outbound_gv contact type global item Outbound

Step 15. Import additional Windows users into


CCT

You can import Windows users from the from the Communication Control
Toolkit 6.0 server and the local domain using the Import Windows Users tool.

A Communication Control Toolkit user is a logical representation of a Microsoft


Windows user. If you do not want to import Windows users, skip this step and
continue on to Step 16. “Import additional agent workstations into CCT” on
page 587.

Some considerations for importing users from a domain.


„ If you import users from a domain, the Communication Control Toolkit
user must be logged on to the specified domain.
„ If you import domain users configured using the
domain.companyname.com format, the utility imports the user in the
format domainname\username.
„ If you import users from a domain, the Communication Control Toolkit
administrator must be logged on to the server using a domain user account
that is also a local administrator account on the Communication Control
Toolkit server.

Step 17. Map terminals to workstations


(optional)

If you want to have a one-to-one mapping between terminals and workstations,


perform this step.

Step 18. Map additional users to the CCT


resources

Before you map a configured user to another Communication Control Toolkit


resource, you must first make sure that the other resource exists and that it is
configured correctly.

Note: You are not required to map terminals to agents if the agents handle only
e-mail contacts.

Map Contact Center users to Windows users, so that the Windows users have
access to the contact center software functionality. For example, when Contact
Center Agent Desktop is deployed, mapping a Contact Center user to a Windows
user identifies the Agent ID assigned to the user in Contact Center Manager
Administration.

Map Windows users to terminals or addresses to assign a communication point


to the Contact Center user, or agent, to handle contacts. For example, when CCT
identifies an incoming call is destined for a specific user, because the terminals
and addresses are mapped to the Windows user, CCT rings the correct terminal/
extension where the Windows user is working

Step 19. Understand the new contact types

You can use the Multimedia Administrator to configure the contact types in the
Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound component of Contact Center, including
outbound, e-mail, and Web communications.

The Operations and Administration Maintenance (OAM) service retrieves


information about skillsets, route points, and agents from the Contact Center
Manager server, and provides the data to the Multimedia Administrator to
configure Multimedia properties for skillset and agents.

You can use the Contact Center Manager Administrator to create skillsets and
route points. For more information about creating skillsets and route points, see
the Contact Center Manager Administrator’s Guide.

Configuring the outbound contacts


Use the Outbound Campaign Management Tool to create, modify, and monitor
outbound campaigns. An outbound campaign is a series of outbound calls for
one specific purpose, for example, a customer survey or a sales promotion. You
can configure a maximum of 20 outbound campaigns with 2500 contacts in each
campaign.

Only one step is required to configure outbound contacts: configure the route
points for all outbound skillsets.

Configuring the E-Mail Manager


Use the E-Mail Manager to communicate with customers over the internet.
Customers communicate using their e-mail client application to receive an e-
mail response from the agent. The E-mail Manager provides the following
functionality:
„ the ability of the contact center to receive e-mail requests from multiple
mailboxes and multiple servers for presentation to agents as multimedia
contacts

604 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Upgrading licenses in your current installation

„ intelligent routing of e-mail to deliver each e-mail message to the agent


who has the subject knowledge to respond, send an auto-response, or close
the contact
„ an Agent Desktop interface for agents to respond efficiently to customers
without need for a desktop e-mail client
„ easy referencing of the thread of conversation between the customer and the
agent
„ the ability to select a contact type based on the e-mail message and
attachments received, such as text messages (SMS), voice mail, or fax
messages
„ the ability to handle contacts using one method when the contact center is
open and another method when the contact center is closed

Some steps are required to configure the E-mail Manager: configure the
skillsets, setup the servers, and configure the default rules for a recipient
mailbox.

Configuring the Web Communications Manager


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 functionality:
„ 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

Some steps are required to configure the Web Communications Manager:


configure the skillsets, and configure the Web server.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 605


Upgrading licenses in your current installation Standard 7.23

Some definitions to know


The following is a list of definitions that you need to understand before
configuring the contact types in Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound.
„ A skillset is a label applied to a set of skills, capabilities, or knowledge that
an agent requires to respond to a given request. The skillsets are retrieved
from the Contact Center Manager database. You must select a route point
for a skillset used to route outbound contacts.
„ A route point is a location on the open queue that queues incoming calls to
and runs through a script on the Contact Center Manager Server.
„ An auto-response is an e-mail message sent to a customer with no agent
interaction. An auto-response can be an intelligent response, such as a sales
promotion flyer, or an acknowledgement, such as “We received your e-mail
and will respond to you within three days.”
„ A recipient mailbox is a container on the e-mail server that hold e-mail
messages. Standard mailboxes are monitored by the Contact Center E-mail
Manager, which routes the e-mail to an agent or group of agents (skillset)
based on an analytical search of the sender address, the recipient address,
the subject and body of an e-mail for predetermined keywords, or a
combination of these. The e-mail server must be compliant with Post Office
Protocol 3 (POP3) and Standard Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
Every POP3 mailbox used by the Contact Center Multimedia server
requires basic authentication to facilitate e-mail retrieval. Basic
authentication passes the mailbox user and password in clear text to the e-
mail server. You can increase your security by adding Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) encryption. For more information about SSL encryption, see “Enable
SSL on the E-mail Manager” on page 1281.
„ An e-mail alias is not a real e-mail account; an alias is an address that
forwards all e-mail messages it receives to another e-mail account. For
example, the mailbox general@magscripts.com can have the aliases
carz@magsubscriptions.com and planez@magsubscriptions.com. E-mail
addressed to either of these aliases are forwarded to the
general@magscripts.com mailbox. The Email Manager routes the e-mail
messages according to the rules based on the alias mailboxes.
Aliases can be useful to filter e-mail messages. For example, you can define
an alias for a short promotional period after which e-mail messages that
arrive at that alias are discarded.

606 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Upgrading licenses in your current installation

„ A text chat session is a two-way conversation between an agent and a


customer. The exchange of messages is private to the customer and agent.
„ Web-on-hold is a set of Web pages that appear in a customer Web browser
while the customer waits for an agent to answer the contact.
„ A page push is the ability of an agent or a customer to send a URL to the
other party.

Configuring the e-mail servers


You must configure the following:
„ An inbound server (POP3) for e-mail messages received by the contact
center
„ An outbound server (SMTP) for e-mail messages sent by the contact center

Note: If you configured the e-mail servers during installation, then skip this step.

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).

618 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Upgrading licenses in your current installation

If you are licensed for e-mail messages, the New Recipient window appears and
you can continue configuring your requirements for the E-mail Manager.

Creating a recipient mailbox


Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound polls specific recipient mailboxes on the
e-mail server based on a list of mailboxes defined in the Multimedia
Administrator recipients list. The e-mail retrieved from these mailboxes is
routed based on defined rules that can are applied to either enabled or alias
mailboxes. You must ensure that any enabled e-mail address that you want to
configure in the E-mail Manager is already configured on your corporate e-mail
server.

For example, the mailbox general@magscripts.com can have the aliases


carz@magsubscriptions.com and planez@magsubscriptions.com. E-mail
messages addressed to either of these aliases are forwarded to the
general@magscripts.com mailbox. The treatment of the two aliases can be
different, because the routing rules are based on the aliases. In Contact Center
Multimedia, you must configure all enabled and alias mailboxes. In this
example, you must configured the enabled recipient mailbox,
general@magscripts.com, and the alias mailboxes, carz@magsubscripts.com
and planez@magscripts.com.

To create a recipient mailbox


Mailbox names are case-sensitive. You must type the mailbox name exactly as it
appears on your e-mail server.
1 On the New Recipient window, in the Mailbox Name box, type the name of
a mailbox set up the 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
domain in the format domain\user (Windows 2000) or user@domain (post-
Windows 2000) in the Mailbox Name box.
Example: To enter the e-mail address sales@nortel.com, in the Mailbox
Name box, type sales, and in the E-mail Domain box, type nortel.com.
Example: To enter the e-mail address sales@europe.nortel.com, in the
Mailbox Name box, type europe\sales or sales@europe.nortel.com, and in
the E-mail Domain box, type europe.nortel.com.
2 In the E-mail Domain box, type the domain for your e-mail server.

mailboxes from which incoming e-mail is retrieved.
„ Select the Alias option to configure this mailbox as an alias. The
address of an alias can be used in rules configuration and outbox
mapping, but a recipient box configured as an alias address not contain
e-mail.
9 In the Process Up to box, enter the maximum number of e-mail messages
the mailbox can accept every time it scans the database. You can enter a
different value for this variable for each mailbox. The default value is 10.
10 Select the Use alternative username for SMTP Authentication box if you
are configuring an inbox as an alias. If SMTP authentication is enabled on
your E-mail Server, and you are using aliases, you log on to the SMTP
server with a different user name.
11 In the Username box, type the SMTP server logon name.
Note: You can have mailboxes on multiple e-mail servers. You can have
multiple e-mail servers for e-mail or fax messages, load balancing, and
managing e-mail subtypes. Each e-mail server is polled for the mailboxes
that it hosts. Configure additional e-mail servers using the Server
Configuration window and procedure described in “Configuring the e-mail
servers” on page 614.

12 Click Save.
Result: The System Default Rule window appears.
Note: The New Recipient box is still open for your reference.

Modifying the system default rule


The system default rule is used one of two ways:
1. If the e-mail message has an address that matches a recipient mailbox
configured in the E-mail Manager, it is used as a template for the last rule in
the recipient mailbox. It ensures that an e-mail addressed to the recipient is
assigned to a skillset, if it matches no other regular user-defined rules.
2. If the e-mail message has an address that does not match a recipient
mailbox configured in the E-mail Manager, the system default rule is used
to assign the e-mail to a skillset.

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 621


Upgrading licenses in your current installation Standard 7.23

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

Risk of routing failure


.

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.

The default settings for the system default rule are:


„ use the e-mail default skillset, EM_Default_Skillset
„ use no auto-response
„ assign priority 3 (medium high)

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 611.

To modify the system default rule


1 From the Skillset list, select a skillset name. You can accept the current
default.To select the route point for the skillset, perform the following steps:
a. Click Properties to open the skillset properties to change the route
point.

4 Click Save.
Result: The System Delivery Failure Rule window appears.

Modifying the system delivery failure rule


The system delivery failure rule is used for one of two purposes:
1. If the e-mail message has an address that matches a recipient mailbox
configured in the E-mail Manager, the system delivery failure rule is used
as a template for the first rule applied in all recipient mailboxes. It ensures
that an e-mail message that contains particular phrases, such as
undeliverable, are not routed to agents.
2. If the e-mail message has an address that does not match a recipient
mailbox configured in the E-mail Manager, the system delivery failure rule
deletes the e-mail message if it contains particular phrases, such as
undeliverable.

To modify the system delivery failure 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.

March 2008 Upgrading licenses in your current installation

When you create a recipient mailbox, the system delivery failure rule is copied
as the first regular rule into list of rules for the recipient mailbox.

By default, the following keywords are used in the Delivery failure keywords
keyword group:
„ Delivery Failure
„ Undeliverable
„ 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.

When you create a mailbox, it is automatically assigned a delivery failure rule,


which is copied from the system delivery failure rule.

CAUTION

Risk of routing failure


The intention of the delivery failure rule is to route undeliverable
.

contacts.
If you change the properties of the rule, you affect the behavior of
the system delivery failure rule, which affects all recipient
mailboxes you configure in the E-mail Manager.
If the skillset associated with a system delivery failure 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.

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

You can use hotdesking to configure your contact center so that an agent can sit
at a different desk every day and log on to the Contact Center Agent Desktop.
With hotdesking enabled and properly configured, when agents start the Contact
Center Agent Desktop, they are automatically mapped to the relevant terminal
and addresses without user intervention.

Proper configuration for hotdesking Contact Center Agent Desktop applications


requires that each terminal is mapped to only one workstation in
Communication Control Toolkit.

When hotdesking is also configured for a Citrix environment, agents are


challenged with a dialog box asking them to enter a string that identifies their
workstation. The string must be the same as the string that is configured as the
workstation name in the Communication Control Toolkit configuration. You
must configure the popup dialog in a Citrix environment.

Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server Standard 7.23

Step 4. Install your remote support access


tool

Nortel recommends that you install and configure a remote support access tool
before you install Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound so you can access
technical support during the installation procedure, if required.

Nortel personnel use pcAnywhere 11.5 as the preferred remote support access
tool. To install and configure the Host Only version of pcAnywhere version 11.5
on the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server, see “Installing pcAnywhere
11.5 as your remote support access tool,” on page 673.

Alternatively, Nortel accepts Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for


Administration as a remote support access tool for customers on a Windows
2003 platform. This alternative is provided for customers whose security policy
does not allow pcAnywhere or for customers who are using Microsoft Remote
Desktop Connection as the remote support tool for all computers on their
network. For details about enabling Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for
Administration, see “Using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection as your
remote support access tool,” on page 685.

Note: Nortel recommends that you install only one of the supported remote
access tools (pcAnywhere or Remote Desktop Connection) on the Contact
Center Multimedia/Outbound server.

Nortel provides guidelines for setting up remote support using a virtual private
network (VPN). For more information, see the Nortel Contact Center Planning
and Engineering Guide.

Step 7. Provide local users with Log on as a


Service right

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.

This procedure is optional. If you do not have a license for the E-mail Manager,
proceed directly to Step 10. “Verify the Multimedia database installation” on
page 727.

Access on a shared folder is determined through two sets of permission entries:


the permissions set on the share (called share permissions) and the permissions
set on the folder (called NTFS file and folder permissions).

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 7. “Provide local users with Log on as a Service right” on
page 700.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 705


Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server Standard 7.23

Use the procedures in this section to configure the shared folders with the

738 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server

Step 15. Configure access to client


applications

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.

The Nortel Multimedia security policy file, CCMM_Security_Policy.msi


(Microsoft Installer), contains a policy level for the client to download and run
assemblies with a particular strong name. A strong name consists of the
assembly identity (name, version number, private key) and a public key. The
Outbound Campaign Management Tool and the Contact Center Agent Desktop
assemblies are digitally signed with a strong name based on the private key.
After it is installed, the CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file instructs the clients to
trust the assemblies with the strong name assigned to the Outbound Campaign
Management Tool and the Contact Center Agent Desktop. You can install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file while you are logged on to the server as the
local administrator.

Installing the CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file


You must install the current Nortel CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file that is
included in the latest service update. For more information about the latest
service update, visit www.nortel.com.

There are three methods to install the security policy:


„ a manual installation, recommended to test the client applications on one or
two clients

Installation and Maintenance Guide 739


Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server Standard 7.23

„ SMS, recommended by Nortel, to install the msi file on multiple clients


„ Windows group policy to install the .msi file on multiple clients

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.

Note: An experienced system administrator can deploy the


CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file.

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.

Confirming that the security policy is applied


To confirm that the security policy is applied on any client, perform the
following check:
1 On the Windows Start menu, click Settings > Control Panel >
Administrative Tools > Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 Configuration.
2 Expand Runtime Security Policy > Machine > Code Groups > All_Code.

740 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server

3 Verify that you see Code Groups named CCMM, SHDocVw, and xceed.

What is next?
If you are migrating your existing Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound
installation to a new server, and your contact center configuration is the same as

Step 26. Configure the sample multimedia


scripts

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 774.

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.

The sample scripts demonstrate the following functionality:


„ queuing a contact to a multimedia skillset using the contact
intrinsics %SKILLSET%SKILLSET and %PRIORITY%PRIORITY
„ queuing a contact to a multimedia agent using the contact
intrinsics %AGENT%AGENT and %PRIORITY%PRIORITY
„ handling scheduled contacts that have a callback date and timeset using the
contact intrinsics %DATE%DATE, %TIME%TIME and NEXTYEAR
„ queuing contacts that were pulled by an agent using the Agent Desktop
using the contact intrinsic QUEUETYPE

The following sample scripts are included:


„ c_Master_Handles_Multimedia—This script passes execution for
multimedia contacts to the relevant primary script for the contact's type.
Any necessary voice handling sections need to be added in the master
script.
„ EM_Email_Primary—This primary script is executed for e-mail contacts.
The script passes execution to the c_Scheduled_Contact_Handler script.

770 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server

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 waits the required number
of seconds until the Callback Time and then 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.

The variables required for the Multimedia script implementation are provided in
the following table.

Variable Name Type Scope Class Default Value

c_contact_type_email_gv contact type global item Email

c_contact_type_outbound_gv contact type global item Outbound

Step 34. Map terminals to workstations


(optional)

If you want to have a one-to-one mapping between terminals and workstations,


than perform this step.

Proper configuration for hotdesking Contact Center Agent Desktop applications


requires that each terminal is mapped to only one workstation in
Communication Control Toolkit.

Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server Standard 7.23

Step 35. Map users to addresses, terminals,


and contact center users

Before you map a configured user to another Communication Control Toolkit


resource, you must first make sure that the other resource exists and that it is
configured correctly.

You are not required to map terminals to agents if the agents handle only e-mail
contacts.

Map Contact Center users to Windows users, so that the Windows users have
access to the contact center software functionality. For example, when Contact
Center Agent Desktop is deployed, mapping a Contact Center user to a Windows
user identifies the Agent ID assigned to the user in Contact Center Manager
Administration.

Map Windows users to terminals or addresses to assign a communication point


to the Contact Center user, or agent, to handle contacts. For example, when CCT
identifies an incoming call is destined for a specific user, because the terminals
and addresses are mapped to the Windows user, CCT rings the correct terminal/
extension where the Windows user is working

Step 39. Update the E-mail Manager service 851

Installation and Maintenance Guide 825


Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server Standard 7.23

Step 36. Understand the contact types

You can use the Multimedia Administrator to configure the contact types in the
Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound component of Contact Center, including
outbound, e-mail, and Web communications.

The Operations and Administration Maintenance (OAM) service retrieves


information about skillsets, route points, and agents from the Contact Center
Manager server, and provides the data to the Multimedia Administrator to
configure Multimedia properties for skillset and agents.

You can use Contact Center Manager Administration to create skillsets and route
points. For more information about creating skillsets and route points, see the
Contact Center Manager Administrator’s Guide.

Your contact center licensing affects the contact types you are able to configure.
You can use the License Manager file on Contact Center Manager Server to
determine what licenses you have. For more information about the license codes,
see Appendix B, “Feature licensing.” All of the contact types are described in
Step 37. “Log on to the Multimedia Administrator” on page 830.

Configuring the outbound contacts


Use the Outbound Campaign Management Tool to create, modify, and monitor
outbound campaigns. An outbound campaign is a series of outbound calls for
one specific purpose, for example, a customer survey or a sales promotion. You
can configure a maximum of 20 outbound campaigns with 2500 contacts in each
campaign.

Only one step is required to configure outbound contacts: configure the route
points for all outbound skillsets.

Configuring the E-Mail Manager


Use the E-Mail Manager to communicate with customers over the internet.
Customers communicate using their e-mail client application to receive an e-
mail response from the agent. The E-mail Manager provides the following
functionality:

826 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server

„ the ability of the contact center to receive e-mail requests from multiple
mailboxes and multiple servers for presentation to agents as multimedia
contacts
„ intelligent routing of e-mail to deliver each e-mail message to the agent
who has the subject knowledge to respond, send an auto-response, or close
the contact
„ an Agent Desktop interface for agents to respond efficiently to customers
without need for a desktop e-mail client
„ easy referencing of the thread of conversation between the customer and the
agent
„ the ability to select a contact type based on the e-mail message and
attachments received, such as text messages (SMS), voice mail, or fax
messages
„ the ability to handle contacts using one method when the contact center is
open and another method when the contact center is closed

Some steps are required to configure the E-mail Manager: configure the
skillsets, setup the servers, and configure the default rules for a recipient
mailbox.

Configuring the Web Communications Manager


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 functionality:
„ 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

Installation and Maintenance Guide 827


Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server Standard 7.23

Some steps are required to configure the Web Communications Manager:


configure the skillsets, and configure the Web server.

Some definitions to know


The following is a list of definitions that you need to understand before
configuring the contact types in Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound.
„ A skillset is a label applied to a set of skills, capabilities, or knowledge that
an agent requires to respond to a given request. The skillsets are retrieved
from the Contact Center Manager database. You must select a route point
for a skillset used to route outbound contacts.
„ A route point is a location on the open queue that queues incoming calls to
and runs through a script on the Contact Center Manager Server.
„ An auto-response is an e-mail message sent to a customer with no agent
interaction. An auto-response can be an intelligent response, such as a sales
promotion flyer, or an acknowledgement, such as “We received your e-mail
and will respond to you within three days.”
„ A recipient mailbox is a container on the e-mail server that hold e-mail
messages. Standard mailboxes are monitored by the Contact Center E-mail
Manager, which routes the e-mail to an agent or group of agents (skillset)
based on an analytical search of the sender address, the recipient address,
the subject and body of an e-mail for predetermined keywords, or a
combination of these. The e-mail server must be compliant with Post Office
Protocol 3 (POP3) and Standard Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
Every POP3 mailbox used by the Contact Center Multimedia server
requires basic authentication to facilitate e-mail retrieval. Basic
authentication passes the mailbox user and password in clear text to the e-
mail server. You can increase your security by adding Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) encryption. For more information about SSL encryption, see “Enable
SSL on the E-mail Manager” on page 1281.
„ An e-mail alias is not a real e-mail account; an alias is an address that
forwards all e-mail messages it receives to another e-mail account. For
example, the mailbox general@magscripts.com can have the aliases
carz@magsubscriptions.com and planez@magsubscriptions.com. E-mail
addressed to either of these aliases are forwarded to the
general@magscripts.com mailbox. The Email Manager routes the e-mail
messages according to the rules based on the alias mailboxes.

828 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server

Aliases can be useful to filter e-mail messages. For example, you can define
an alias for a short promotional period after which e-mail messages that
arrive at that alias are discarded.
„ A text chat session is a two-way conversation between an agent and a
customer. The exchange of messages is private to the customer and agent.
„ Web-on-hold is a set of Web pages that appear in a customer Web browser
while the customer waits for an agent to answer the contact.
„ A page push is the ability of an agent or a customer to send a URL to the
other party.

Configuring the e-mail servers


You must configure the following:
„ An inbound server (POP3) for e-mail messages received by the contact
center
„ An outbound server (SMTP) for e-mail messages sent by the contact center

Note: If you configured the e-mail servers during installation, then skip this step.

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).

If you are licensed for e-mail messages, the New Recipient window appears and
you can continue configuring your requirements for the E-mail Manager.

Creating a recipient mailbox


Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound polls specific recipient mailboxes on the
e-mail server based on a list of mailboxes defined in the Multimedia
Administrator recipients list. The e-mail retrieved from these mailboxes is
routed based on defined rules that can are applied to either enabled or alias
mailboxes. You must ensure that any enabled e-mail address that you want to
configure in the E-mail Manager is already configured on your corporate e-mail
server.

For example, the mailbox general@magscripts.com can have the aliases


carz@magsubscriptions.com and planez@magsubscriptions.com. E-mail
messages addressed to either of these aliases are forwarded to the
general@magscripts.com mailbox. The treatment of the two aliases can be
different, because the routing rules are based on the aliases. In Contact Center
Multimedia, you must configure all enabled and alias mailboxes. In this
example, you must configured the enabled recipient mailbox,
general@magscripts.com, and the alias mailboxes, carz@magsubscripts.com
and planez@magscripts.com.

To create a recipient mailbox


Mailbox names are case-sensitive. You must type the mailbox name exactly as it
appears on your e-mail server.
1 On the New Recipient window, in the Mailbox Name box, type the name of
a mailbox set up the 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
domain in the format domain\user (Windows 2000) or user@domain (post-
Windows 2000) in the Mailbox Name box.
Example: To enter the e-mail address sales@nortel.com, in the Mailbox
Name box, type sales, and in the E-mail Domain box, type nortel.com.
Example: To enter the e-mail address sales@europe.nortel.com, in the
Mailbox Name box, type europe\sales or sales@europe.nortel.com, and in
the E-mail Domain box, type europe.nortel.com.
2 In the E-mail Domain box, type the domain for your e-mail server.

mapping, but a recipient box configured as an alias address not contain
e-mail.
9 In the Process Up to box, type the maximum number of e-mail messages
the mailbox can accept every time it scans the database. You can enter a
different value for this variable for each mailbox. The default value is 10.
10 Select the Use alternative username for SMTP Authentication box if you
are configuring an inbox as an alias. If SMTP authentication is enabled on
your E-mail Server, and you are using aliases, you log on to the SMTP
server with a different user name.
11 In the Username box, type the SMTP server logon name.
You can have mailboxes on multiple e-mail servers. You can have multiple
e-mail servers for e-mail or fax messages, load balancing, and managing e-
mail subtypes. Each e-mail server is polled for the mailboxes that it hosts.

Result: The System Default Rule window appears.
Note: The New Recipient box is still open for your reference.

Modifying the system default rule


The system default rule is used one of two ways:
1. If the e-mail message has an address that matches a recipient mailbox
configured in the E-mail Manager, it is used as a template for the last rule in
the recipient mailbox. It ensures that an e-mail addressed to the recipient is
assigned to a skillset, if it matches no other regular user-defined rules.
2. If the e-mail message has an address that does not match a recipient
mailbox configured in the E-mail Manager, the system default rule is used
to assign the e-mail to a skillset.

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 843


Migrating Contact Center 6.0 to a new server Standard 7.23

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

Risk of routing failure


.

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.

The default settings for the system default rule are:


„ use the e-mail default skillset, EM_Default_Skillset
„ use no auto-response
„ assign priority 3 (medium high)

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 833.

To modify the system default rule


1 From the Skillset list, select a skillset name. You can accept the current
default.To select the route point for the skillset, perform the following steps:

4 Click Save.
Result: The System Delivery Failure Rule window appears.

Modifying the system delivery failure rule


The system delivery failure rule is used for one of the following purposes:
1. If the e-mail message has an address that matches a recipient mailbox
configured in the E-mail Manager, the system delivery failure rule is used
as a template for the first rule applied in all recipient mailboxes. It ensures
that an e-mail message that contains particular phrases, such as
undeliverable, are not routed to agents.
2. If the e-mail message has an address that does not match a recipient
mailbox configured in the E-mail Manager, the system delivery failure rule
deletes the e-mail message if it contains particular phrases, such as
undeliverable.

To modify the system delivery failure 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.

846 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound

When you create a recipient mailbox, the system delivery failure rule is copied
as the first regular rule into list of rules for the recipient mailbox.To configure
the system delivery failure rule, you must select a route point for the default
skillset. You can configure the other properties of the rule, including the skillset
to assign e-mail to, and other keywords.

By default, the following keywords are used in the Delivery failure keywords
keyword group:
„ Delivery Failure
„ Undeliverable
„ 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.

When you create a mailbox, it is automatically assigned a delivery failure rule,


which is copied from the system delivery failure rule.

CAUTION

Installing the Standby server Standard 7.23

Overview

Geographic Redundancy is a feature of the Contact Center Multimedia/


Outbound server that provides a server backup in case of catastrophic failure.
Geographic redundancy is implemented using a Standby server, or Redundancy
server that mirrors the Multimedia database and provides a quick recovery if the
Active server stops processing contacts. If Geographic Redundancy is licensed
in your contact center, use this chapter to perform the steps required to install
and initially configure your Standby server.

The Standby server installation contains all components, but you can only see
the components for which you are licensed. All unlicensed components are
blocked. This chapter assumes that all features are installed on your Multimedia
servers.

What you need


The following checklist contains the software and equipment you must have to
install the standby server software for Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound 6.0.

backups to identify whether any e-mail attachments arrived on the Active server
after you started the backup. The backup date must be recorded for both new
installations and installations you plan to migrate to the Standby server.

Recording the journal file path


The Multimedia server uses the journal files to apply the same updates to the
Standby server that are on the Active server. You must make note of the current
journal file to ensure that the Standby server can be correctly configured with all
of the updates made to the Active server database since the backup.

ATTENTION RISK OF LOSS OF DATA

Installation and Maintenance Guide 891


Installing the Standby server Standard 7.23

Step 6. Understand the Active server


installation

Before you install the Contact Center Standby server, you must review your
current Multimedia server installation to determine the following:
„ On which drive is the Multimedia software and database installed?
The file system and drive letters on the Standby server must mirror the file
system and drive letters on the Active server to ensure a successful change
between the Active and Standby server. For example, if the Multimedia
database is installed on drive D of the Active server, the Multimedia
database must be installed on drive D of the Standby server.
„ What is the name of the Multimedia server?
The name of the Multimedia server is required during the installation of the
Standby server.
„ What is the date of the last Multimedia database backup?
You require the date of the backup to identify e-mail attachments that
arrived on the Active server after the backup was made.
„ What is the name of the current Journal file?
You require the full name including the path of the current Journal file to
ensure that latest updates to the Contact Center Multimedia database are
configured on the Standby server. You acquired the full name of the current
Journal file when you backed up the Multimedia database in “Recording
the journal file path” on page 890.

The date and time on the Multimedia server must be the current date and time
based on the location of the server.

Installing the Standby server Standard 7.23

Step 10. Provide local users with the Log on


as a Service right

To access Contact Center Multimedia software, you must configure two user
types. 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. You must only
configure CCMMOPSUSR if you are licensed for e-mail in your contact
center.
„ IUSR_<Servername>—The IUSR account is an Internet Information
Services (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.

To provide local users with Log on as a Service right


Your users must have the Log on as a Service permission to access folders that
are configured as Multimedia services.
1 On the Windows Start menu of the Standby server, click All Programs >
Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy.
Result: The Local Security Settings window appears.
2 Under Security Settings, double-click Local Policies in the left pane.

Step 11. Create shared inbound and outbound


attachment folders

This procedure is optional. If you do not have a license for the E-mail Manager,
proceed directly to Step 12. “Configure Internet Information Services” on page
940.

Access on a shared folder is determined through two sets of permission entries:


the permissions set on the share (called share permissions) and the permissions
set on the folder (called NTFS file and folder permissions).

You must provide access to a shared location for inbound and outbound e-mail
attachments. These shared locations must be shared with the user types you
configured in Step 10. “Provide local users with the Log on as a Service right”
on page 922.

Use the procedures in this section to configure the shared folders with the
required access permissions.

ATTENTION You must use the same attachment locations that are on the
Active server. You must also:
„ Share the inbound and outbound folders with the security
group SYSTEM.
„ Share the inbound and outbound folders with the users
CCMMOPSUSR and IUSR_<Servername>, and the
security group SYSTEM.
„ Set the NTFS access permissions for CCMMOPSUSR and
IUSR_<Servername>.

Setting up an inbound attachment shared location


1 On the Standby server, open Windows Explorer and browse to the drive
you selected for your Multimedia database.
2 Open X:\Nortel\Contact Center\MailAttachments, where X is the drive
where you installed your Multimedia database.

Step 20. Select the Journal file

The Multimedia server uses journal files to apply the same updates to the
Standby server that are on the active Multimedia server. After you select the
correct journal file, you ensure the Standby server reads the correct journal file
on the active Multimedia server and makes all changes made on the active
Multimedia server since the last backup. You must use the journal file you
recorded in “Recording the journal file path” on page 890. After the journal file
is configured, the Standby server reads all subsequent journal files from the
Active server and the servers are synchronized.

ATTENTION
If you select the wrong journal file, you can lose data.

Journal files are updated when the following events occur:


„ the Caché Controller service is started
„ a specific time of day
„ the maximum file size is reached
„ a backup or restore is completed
„ a user directs the new journal file to start (Caché Control Panel >

Installation and Maintenance Guide 973


Changing the Active server Standard 7.23

Overview

If the Geographic Redundancy feature is licensed in your contact center, use this
chapter to perform the steps required to switch from the Active server to the
Standby server, in the event of an Active server failure, and return the servers to
the original configuration after you fix or upgrade the original active server.

This chapter uses the following terminology:


„ Server A—One of the pair of Contact Center Multimedia servers. You
installed the original Multimedia/Outbound software on this server. Server
A can act as the Active or Standby server.
„ Server B—The second server in the pair of Contact Center Multimedia
servers. You used this server to install the Redundancy server in Chapter 8,
“Installing the Standby server.” Server B can act as the Active or Standby
server
„ Active server—The server (either Server A or Server B) that is currently
processing Multimedia/Outbound contacts.
„ Standby server—The server (either Server A or Server B) that is not
currently processing Multimedia/Outbound contacts.

To avoid confusing your servers, label your servers Server A and Server B.

In the following diagram, Server A is the Active or Primary server and Server B
is the Standby or Redundancy server. Server B contains all of the information on
the Active server and is ready if Server A stops working for any reason.

974 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Changing the Active server

If Server A fails to process Multimedia contacts, you can manually switch


Multimedia processing to Server B. In the following diagram, Server B is the
Active server and Server A is not in use.

The Standby server reads and applies updates from the Active server constantly.
If the system is busy, the Standby server can be a few seconds behind the Active
server. This means that, in the event of a failure, you can lose a small amount of
data.

You can make the Standby server process contacts for the following reasons:
„ The Active server has a hardware or network failure. To configure the
Standby server in a failure, see Section A: “Switching to Standby when
Primary server fails,” on page 977.
„ The Active server requires maintenance, preventing it from running the
Contact Center Manager Server application. To configure the Standby
server during maintenance of the Active server, see Section B: “Switching
to Standby for a planned change,” on page 995.

After Server A is back online, you can restore it to active mode, and restore
Server B to standby mode. For instructions about restoring Server A to active
mode, see Section C: “Restoring CCMM servers to original configuration,” on
page 1011.

If you decide to maintain Server B as the Active server, and want to use Server A
or another server as the Standby server, you must install and configure the
Standby server software. For instructions about installing and configuring the
Standby server software, see Chapter 8, “Installing the Standby server.”

Changing the Active server Standard 7.23

Overview

After the failure on Server A is corrected, or the upgrade is complete, you can
reconfigure Server A to run as the Active server and Server B to run as the
Standby server.

This section describes both the configuration of Server A and Server B. If you
only want to configure Server A as an Active server, you can omit any steps on
Server B after you demote Server B.

Before this process begins, in your contact center, Server B is running in active
mode, and server A is not running.

ATTENTION
You must perform this process during a low activity period
because it involves disabling services on your current active
server while switching Server A to the active server.

Here is a detailed overview of the steps you must perform:

On Server B, perform the following steps to prepare the server to be taken out of
service:
„ Ensure users are disconnected
„ Stop and disable Multimedia services on Server B
„ Backup Server B
„ Stop the shadowing process on Server B
„ Update the server details
„ Demote Server B
„ Stop the services on Server B

On Server A, perform the following steps to restore the database from Server B
and make Server A active:
„ Stop and disable Multimedia services on Server A
„ Restore the backup to Server A
„ Record the journal file

Step 16. Configure the external Web server

If you have an external Web server in your contact center, you must update two
files and remove the cached files.

The following procedure describes how to perform the update for .jsp files with
Apache Tomcat. If you are using a different servlet engine (for example, JRun or
WebLogic), or a different technology (ASP.NET), you must use the standard
procedures for your environment.

The folders CI_Sample_Website and WebComms are the folders in the sample
customer Web installation. Your custom interface folders can use different
names. Ensure that you use the folder names in your installation to locate the
web.xml and .jsp files. For more information, see Appendix , “Using the Web
communications customer interface.”
1 Stop Apache Tomcat using the following steps:
a. On the Start menu of your external Web server, click All Programs >
Administrative Tools > Services.
b. Right-click Apache Tomcat service, and click Stop.
c. Close the services window.
2 On the external Web server, navigate to the folder
..\webapps\CI_Sample_Website\WEB-INF.
3 Open the web.xml file in Notepad or another text editor.
4 Locate the text string <param-name>CCMM_HOSTNAME</param-name>.
The following text string is <param-value>Server B</param-value>, where
Server B is the name of your Standby server.
5 In the <param-value> line, replace the name of the Active server with the
name of the Standby server. You are replacing the name of Server B with
the name of Server A.
6 Save the file.
7 Close the file.
8 On the external Web server, navigate to the folder
..\webapps\WebComms\WEB-INF.
9 Open the web.xml file in Notepad or another text editor.

Step 20. Set shadowing on Server B

The Multimedia server uses journal files to apply the same updates to the
Standby server that are on the active Multimedia server. After you select the
correct journal file, you ensure the Standby server reads the correct journal file
on the active Multimedia server and makes all changes made on the active
Multimedia server since the last backup. You must use the journal file you
recorded in Step 10. “Record the journal file” on page 1045. After the journal
file is configured, the Standby server reads all subsequent journal files from the
Active server and the servers are synchronized.

ATTENTION
If you select the wrong journal file, you can lose data.

Configuring encoding for outgoing e-mail


The Contact Center Multimedia E-mail Manager is designed to reply to an e-
mail message using the same character set as the inbound e-mail. For example, if
an e-mail arrives to the contact center with Latin-1 encoding, the reply from the
agent desktop or the auto-response is sent in Latin-1. The purpose of the design
is to ensure that the customer e-mail client can understand the format of the
message sent from the contact center.

If the customer sends an e-mail in English and receives either an agent response
or an auto-response in another character set, there is no way to know if the
customer e-mail client can decode the new character set. Nortel recommends
that if you use an auto-response, you use the rules capability to search for words
in the expected languages (for example, Japanese or English) to ensure that an
auto-response sent matches the language of the inbound e-mail.

If the original e-mail is encoded with the Latin 1 characterset (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 e-mail can be
perceived as a blank e-mail. Nortel recommends that only contact centers in
Europe use Latin 9 encoding.

March 2008 Configuring e-mail settings and routing

Configure rules

Rules determine how a multimedia contact is to be routed based on information


about the e-mail message (inputs) and configurations in your contact center
(outputs).

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 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.

If an e-mail message is sent to more than one recipient address, only the first rule
that is matched to the recipient list is executed. The autoresponses and skillset
assignment for the e-mail is based on the first matched recipient address.

Configuring additional rules is optional.

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1101


Configuring e-mail settings and routing Standard 7.23

Understanding rule components

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.

Placing the rules in a sequence


The first rule applied to each recipient mailbox is a copy of the system delivery
failure rule. The last rule applied to each recipient mailbox is a copy of the
default rule. The other rules, created by the administrator, can be in any order
between the delivery failure and default rules.

1102 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Configuring e-mail settings and routing

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.

Determining the status of a rule


Each rule is in one of the following states:

Enabled—The rule is executed if the contact matches the requirements of the


rule. It is black on the table.

Disabled—The rule is not executed, even if the contact matches the


requirements of the rule, because the rule is disabled. It is gray on the table.

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.

Creating a new rule


Create a new rule using the Rule Configuration Wizard.

Configuring rule inputs


Rules are automatically based on the recipient address; however, you can use
keyword groups and sender groups to define more detailed rules.

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.”

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1107


Configuring e-mail settings and routing Standard 7.23

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.

Adding keyword groups to the rule


A keyword group is a list of words or groups of words that you can search in an
e-mail message. Keyword groups associate keywords and expressions
considered important by the contact center to be handled in a particular way—
assign a skillset, close the contact, or send an auto-response.

Keyword groups are optional; however, you can use up to three keyword groups
as input parameters for your rule.

Note: Keyword groups support only * and ? as wildcard characters.
Example: The asterisk (*) represents multiple characters. For example, t*
specifies a list of all the words that start with t. The question mark (?)
represents a single character. For example, p?t specifies all three letter
words that start with p and end with t.
A keyword does not support the following characters: # + -
& | ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ “ ~ : and \. If you use any of these characters in your
keywords, you receive an error message stating that the keyword contains
invalid characters.
e. Click Add.
Result: The keyword or expression is added to the list, and the

Using Contact Center Multimedia Administrator controls


Not all Administrator controls are Unicode-aware. The following controls do not
accept Asian characters:
„ Auto-Responses: Attachment filename
„ Skillset Settings: Auto-signature Template filename
„ Rule Precedence: Exported rules filename
„ Certain error dialog boxes, which can render Asian characters as question
marks

For Auto-Response attachments, Auto-signature templates, Exported rules, the


name of the file must be in English when it is configured in the Administrator,
however, the content of the files can contain Asian characters.

Using Asian e-mail domain names


Internationalized domain names (IDN) can include characters from East Asian
languages. Using the characters from East Asian lanugages is dangerous because
of phishing sites. A phishing site is an e-mail message with a link to www.aib.ie
can point you to a site that has the "i" and a "b" in the domain but some other
character that resembles an "a".

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 e-mail client) accepts the IDN in native characters and converts it to punycode
e.g. xn--jp-cd2fp15c@xn--fsq.com . The receiving client will identify the sender
as being a punycode string and resolve to 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.

Resource Locator (URL) to the customer browser. The Web pages that are
applicable to the skillset of the contact are listed in the Contact Center Agent
Desktop. Customers can also push Web pages to the agent by typing the Web
address or URL in the Address box, and then clicking the push displayed icon.

Use the Multimedia Administrator to configure the Web pages that are listed in
the Contact Center Agent Desktop for the Agent to push.

Notes about page pushes


There are a few items to note when using page pushes:
„ When an agent pushes Web sites or URLs, personalized or custom dynamic
pages can appear differently in the agent browser and the customer browser.
„ Cookies are not shared by agents and customers.
„ When pushing framed Web pages, the URL that defines the frameset is
pushed, not the individual URLs in each frame.
„ After a page is pushed, if either the agent or the customer follows a link to
another page, the other person does not see the change.
„ If a customer and agent push a page at the same time, they both see the page
that was pushed last, however, both URLs appear in the text chat log.

Configure Web-on-hold groups

Web-on-hold is a Web page that is presented automatically to customers Web


browsers while customers are waiting for an agent to begin their text chat. You
can define the length of time that each URL appears on the customer Web
browser.

You can configure a Web-on-hold group of video clips (QuickTime) or audio


files (MPEG3) and Web pages to advertise a new product line. Web designers
can programmatically configure a particular Web-on-hold group for particular
business reasons. When the agent joins the conversation, the Web-on-hold page
is replaced with the live session and the session status is in progress.

Follow these guidelines for using Web-on-hold:


„ Web-on-hold URLs can include multimedia formats, such as video clips
(QuickTime) or audio files (MPEG3). However, the customer browser must
be capable of playing these formats. Any plug-ins needed to execute
multimedia files are the responsibility of the customer.

Configure the callback timer

You can configure the default time in days, hours, and minutes to wait before re-
offering a pending contact to agents. An agent can delay the contact, or put the
contact into pending state because they were waiting for more information to
complete the contact.

The callback timer can be set between 2 minutes and 200 days (about 6 months).
The default range provides the limits to which the callback time can be set. The
actual time value is chosen in the Contact Center Agent Desktop application
when the agent reschedules the contact.

Maintaining the database Standard 7.23

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 17, “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 8, “Installing the Standby server.”

Note: You must perform a back up of the multimedia database every time a
Contact Center Manager server backup is performed.

1206 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Maintaining the database

Maintain the Multimedia server

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
17, “Archiving and restoring data”.
3. Monitor the amount of disk space available for the attachment folder and
purge unnecessary data when required.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1207


Maintaining the database Standard 7.23

Configure the destination location for a


backup

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.

1208 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Maintaining the database

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1209


Maintaining the database Standard 7.23

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.

Follow your corporate policies to use a third-party utility to back up the


Windows operating system on your server.

Perform an immediate backup of the default database before you run Contact
Center Multimedia/Outbound.

The attachment upload size (Contact Center Multimedia Administrator


application) and the logging settings (Log Configuration) are not backed up by
the database backup process.

Creating the backup destination


You can back up the database to a file in one of the following locations:
„ a mapped drive on a network
„ a backup tape

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

To back up your database on a mapped drive


1 On the network computer where you store the backup, do the following:
a. Create a folder named Backup.
b. Right-click the new folder, and then click Properties.
c. Click the Sharing tab.

attachment folders. It does not restore log files or the server operating system.

The attachment upload size (Contact Center Multimedia Administrator


application) and the logging settings (Log Configuration) are not restored by the
multimedia backup and restore utility.

Restoring the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound database


Before you restore your database, you must shut down all of the Contact Center
Multimedia applications. It is important that no services, except for the Cache
database, License Manager service, and the Starter service are running while
you restore the database. You must not use the Outbound Campaign
Management Tool or the Agent Desktop until the restore is complete.

CAUTION

Risk of malfunction
If you do not shut down the all of the Contact Center Multimedia/
.

Outbound applications, the restore fails.

Archiving and restoring data Standard 7.23

Overview

Archive the Contact Center Multimedia database regularly to clear up space in


the database partition of your server. The archive schedule must reflect your
contact center volume to prevent large archive files.

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.

1232 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Archiving and restoring data

Archiving the database

The data from the Multimedia database is archived to tab-delimited text files that
can be viewed in third-party applications such as Microsoft Excel.

If the archiving is done infrequently, the archive files can be large, so an archive
schedule must reflect your contact center volume.

You can archive contacts associated with the following elements:


„ outbound campaigns
„ e-mail rules
„ skillsets

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. When an archive is performed, the data is stored in a flat file
and then deleted from the database. The only way to retrieve this data is to
perform a restore of the archive. The following information is are archived:
„ contact details (and associated answer and custom fields)
„ action details (and associated custom fields)
„ attachment files
„ customer details (if requested, including all phone number, e-mail address
and customer field records that are attached to the customer)
If you choose to archive the customer data as well, records associated with
the customer data are not deleted if other contacts associated with the
customer exist in the database after the archive is complete. The records
appear in the archived file.
„ campaign details and associated script questions, disposition codes and
custom fields (for outbound campaigns)

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1233


Archiving and restoring data Standard 7.23

Before you begin to archive your contacts, you must determine which type of
archive or restore you want to use.

ATTENTION
In the event that the data generated from an archive is modified
manually, the data may become corrupt resulting in the failure
of future restores based on the data. For this reason, Nortel
cannot support issues with the application arising from manual
modification of the data generated by the archive process.

Shutting down the services


When an archive is performed, if any of the data waiting to be archive is updated
by an agent (for example, a closed contact is reopened), the archive utility
cannot delete the record and generates an exception. Nortel recommends that
you shut down all services while the archive is performed to eliminate the
archiving exceptions.

Shut down the services manually by following these steps:

Overview

This chapter describes the support of Simple Network Management Protocol


(SNMP) traps with Contact Center 6.0.

Windows provides a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent,


which runs as a service on the Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound server. You
can use this service to forward events to a Network Management System (NMS)
on your network. To do so, you must do the following tasks:
„ Ensure that Contact Center 6.0 products are generating sufficient events for
new and existing features. These events must be registered correctly so they
can be viewed correctly in Windows Event Viewer.
„ Configure the Windows SNMP service on the server. See “Configure the
Windows SNMP service on the server” on page 1255.
„ Select the types of events to be forwarded to the NMS. See “Use the Event
to Trap Translator to select events” on page 1257.
„ Configure the NMS, according to your NMS documentation.

Create Log reports

Use the Multimedia Log Configuration window to select the location of and
detail stored in log files for the components of the Multimedia Server. You can
filter these events by event codes when you experience problems with your
system. The log files are stored in the CCMMLogs folder on the same drive as
the operating system.

In the Log Configuration window, you can select:


„ the verbosity or severity of the logging that you want to filter
„ which Multimedia components generate log files
„ the directory in which the system stores the log files

The verbosity ranges from 1 to 6, as follows:


1. Critical errors only—Only critical errors. Critical errors require
immediate action to resolve a system failure.
2. Critical and major errors—All critical and major errors. Major errors are
reported when the system is working; however, the functionality is
impaired.
3. All errors—All critical, major, and minor errors. Minor errors are reported
when the system is working as is most of the functionality; however, some
of the functionality is impaired.
4. All errors and first-level trace information—Debugging information at
the page level.
5. All errors, first- and second-level trace information—Debugging
information at the functional level.
6. All errors and all levels of trace information—All debugging
information.

Note: Verbosities 1 to 3 are logged in the Event Log.

The default verbosity is 4. With a verbosity of 4, you can see all of the error
messages and the first-level traces.

General security precautions

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.

If you are using Web Communications in your contact center, the updated
antivirus and antispyware do not affect the behavior of the interaction between
customers and agents. For more information, see “Prevent blocked invitations”
on page 287.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1263

Microsoft security guidelines

You must ensure that you are running your server with the most current
Microsoft patches.
„ Review the Nortel Contact Center Portfolio Service Packs Compatibility
and Security Hotfixes Applicability List (available from Nortel Technical
Support Web site) for the list of applicable Microsoft security hotfixes that
should be applied.
„ Backup the entire Contact Center Multimedia server (operating system,
server software, and multimedia database), then shut down all Contact
Center Multimedia services before you apply any Microsoft security
hotfixes using the Microsoft instructions.
„ Apply Microsoft security updates on a timely basis.

Activate the Nortel Contact Center Security


Template

Nortel Contact Center 6.0 provides a set of predefined Windows Server 2003
Security Templates that can be deployed quickly to secure the Nortel Contact
Center 6.0 suite of servers.

You can activate the Nortel Contact Center security template locally or as a
group policy in an Active Directory in which the Contact Center Multimedia/
Outbound is located. You can deploy the Security Template either before or after
you have installed the server software.

If you are activating the Nortel Contact Center Security Template locally (on the
server on which you installed Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound), you must
select the applicable Security Template for the Nortel Contact Center application
server and download the selected template from the Enterprise Solution PEP
Library web site (http://www.nortel.com/espl) to the local disk drive. When the
file is downloaded, you can import and configure the Security Template using
the Microsoft Security Configuration and Analysis utility.

If you want to activate the Nortel Contact Security Template on a coresident


server, make sure that you download the coresident template.

If you are adding Communication Control Toolkit to a previously standalone


Contact Center Manager Server, you must rollback the original Contact Center
6.0 security template and reapply a new one for the coresident server.

For more information about applying the Nortel Contact Center Security
Template, see Nortel Contact Center 6.0 Security Templates User Guide on the

Contact Center Multimedia 6.0 port requirements


This section describes the port requirements for connections between the
Contact Center Multimedia server and the Agent Desktop clients, e-mail server,
and external Web server.

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.

Outbound Campaign Management Tool


Users launch the Outbound Campaign Management Tool by logging on to the
Contact Center Manager Administration server and choosing the appropriate
Multimedia server under Outbound. The Outbound Campaign Management
Tool starts on the client and connects to the Contact Center Multimedia server on
port 80 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.

External Web site


An external Web site uses Web services to connect to the Contact Center
Multimedia server on port 80 using TCP.

Enable SSL on the E-mail Manager

Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to


protect data traveling between the e-mail server and the Contact Center
Multimedia/Outbound server. Follow the steps in this section to enable SSL on
the E-mail Manager.

Enabling SSL on the E-mail Manager


1 Open the mailservice.properties file. The mailservice.properties file is in
X:\Nortel\Contact Center Multimedia\Multimedia Server\Email Manager,
where X is the drive on which you installed your Multimedia server
software.
2 Copy the following lines into mailservice.properties file.
mail.pop3.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
mail.pop3.socketFactory.fallback=false
mail.pop3.socketFactory.port=995
Note: Nortel recommends a false connection on the fallback. If you set
fallback to false, a secure connection cannot be established and the
operation fails. If you set the fallback to true, during a failure the connection
is unsecure.
3 Set the port to the correct value. Use the following steps to set the port
number:
a. Log on to the Multimedia Administrator.
b. Expand Server Administration.
c. Double-click Server Configuration.
d. In the Server Settings window, double-click Inbound Mail Server
(POP3).
Result: The E-mail Server Properties window appears.

March 2008 Managing security

Although SMTP is left unsecure, once e-mail traverses the Internet, it is


unsecure. Implementations of secure SMTP vary as does the port number.
For more information, see the documentation for your e-mail server.
Result: The configuration is complete. If an error is reported in the
EmailManager.log file: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Could not

was signed with a certificate from a signing authority that is untrusted or
you are using a test certificate, proceed to “Enabling SMTP Authentication
on your e-mail server” on page 1285.
5 Use Java keytool to enable trust for a signing authorities certificate. By
default, Java application SSL implementations automatically trust many of
the major certificate authorities such as Verisign or Thawte. However, if you
are using a test certificate you must add the following text to C:\Program
Files\Java\jrel.5.0\lib\security\cacerts:
keytool -import -alias mycacert -file mycacert.cer -
keystore
Replace mycacert with the actual name of the certificate. The keytool can
be run from C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0\bin or any folder if the Java Bin
folder is in the System Path.
6 When you are prompted for a keystore password, use the default install
password for the JRE trust keystore, changeit.
7 After the certificate details are printed, you are prompted to Trust this
certificate.
8 Type y or yes, and then press return to update the keystore.

SMTP Authentication

SMTP Authentication is a mechanism of restricting non-authenticated clients


from relaying messages outside your organization. Agents who want to send
external e-mail must provide their logon credentials to the e-mail server before
their e-mail is relayed. Failure to authenticate leads to either an immediate
message from the e-mail server indicating that relaying is prohibited or a non-
delivery report e-mail at a later time. Organizations generally implement SMTP
authentication to prevent SPAM messages being relayed through their networks.
For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q197869.

For more information, see the following RFCs:


„ RFC 821 – Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
„ RFC 1869 – SMTP Service Extensions
„ RFC 2045 – Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
„ RFC 2554 – SMTP Service Extension for Authentication

Note: You can obtain copies from http://www.ietf.org

Enabling SMTP Authentication on your e-mail server


SMTP authentication varies from e-mail server to e-mail server. The following
steps describe how to enable SMTP authentication for Microsoft Exchange
Server 5.5.
1 Log on to the Microsoft Exchange Server with domain administrative
privileges.
2 Start the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program.
3 Under the Configuration branch, double-click Internet Mail Service.
4 On the Routing tab, click Routing Restrictions.
5 Ensure the Only Hosts and Clients who successfully authenticate
check box is selected.
6 Restart the Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1285


Managing security Standard 7.23

Determining if SMTP Authentication is enabled


You can use telnet to verify if the server's response to the SMTP commands is
enabled on an e-mail server.
1 Start telnet and connect to the IP Address or host name of the mail server.
Connect using the well known port for SMTP (Port 25). Ensure that your
telnet application is enabling a local echo.
Result: The following message appears:
220 SERVERNAME.DOMAIN.COM ESMTP Server (Microsoft
Exchange
Internet Mail Service 5.5.2650.21) ready
2 Type HELO.
3 Try to send an e-mail message to an external address using the MAIL
command:
MAIL FROM: anymailbox
250 OK - mail from <anymailbox>
4 Specify recipients using the RCPT command.
Result: If SMTP Authentication is enabled, you see the following:
RCPT TO: anyone@externaladdress.com
550 Relaying is prohibited
Otherwise, you receive the message:
RCPT TO: anyone@externaladdress.com
250 OK - Recipient <anyone@externaladdress.com>
5 If you find that SMTP Authentication is not enabled, you can continue to
send an e-mail message using the DATA command:
DATA
354 Send data. End with CRLF.CRLF
6 Conclude the e-mail message by typing <ENTER> . <ENTER>
Result: The e-mail message is sent.
250 OK
7 If the SMTP Authentication is enabled, you must re-connect to your e-mail
server.

Review your network connectivity


To check the network connectivity, perform the following steps:
1. Check the network cable for faults. Cable faults are often difficult to
identify and can be intermittent, therefore replacing the faulty cable with a
known good cable is the best solution.
2. Check the network card speed and duplex settings. Communication Control
Toolkit to Contact Center Manager Server settings must match the required
switch and hub settings, and be in the same network segment. Also, Contact
Center Manager Server and the switch settings must match the required
switch and hub settings, and be in the same network segment.
3. Check the physical network card for faults.
4. Check the network hub. Check both hardware and software (if applicable)
problems in your hub.
5. If your hub is a switched hub, ensure that a virtual LAN separation is not
present at a hardware or software level. If a virtual LAN separation is
present, the performance of the connection between Communication
Control Toolkit and Contact Center Manager Server is minimal.
6. Ensure the ability for Windows to turn off the network card to save power is
disabled. Windows Server 2003 has a power management setting for
network cards.
7. Ensure the network card has the latest driver software release.

runs for 20 minutes and then shuts down, you have a licensing issue.

If you have a licensing server issue, review the following items to resolve the
problem:
„ Verify the Multimedia services are started.
„ Check the contents of the license registry.
„ Check the connection between the Multimedia server and the License
server.
„ Check the name of the License server in the Multimedia Administrator.
„ Choose the correct license type.
„ Check the licenses in your contact center.
„ Review the license log files.

All of these steps are described in this section.

Verifying the Multimedia services are started


Check that the License Manager and Starter services are started on the Contact
Center Multimedia server.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1301


Troubleshooting Standard 7.23

1 On the Windows Start menu of the Multimedia server, click All Programs >
Administrative Tools > Services.

2 Next to CCMM License Service, verify that the Status is Started and the
Startup Type is Automatic.

As a last step, you can look for any errors in the log files. If you are unable to
find or diagnose the cause of the errors, contact Nortel technical support.
1 On the License Manager server, review the log file specified in the registry
at HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Nortel\LM\Server\Logfile.
2 On the Contact Center Multimedia server, review the log file specified in the
registry key at HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Nortel\LM\Logfile.
3 On the Contact Center Multimedia server, review the CCMM Starter
Service log file specified in Nortel\Licensing\CCMMStartService.exe.config
in the variable logFilename.

Licensing grace period


If there is a communication error between Contact Center Multimedia and the
License Manager, normal operation of Contact Center Multimedia server can
run for a defined grace period. Normal operations such as shutting down the
server, starting up the server, or restarting the services do not affect the grace
period.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1307


Troubleshooting Standard 7.23

The defined grace period is 10 days. When the 10 days expires, the Contact
Center Multimedia services shut down and cannot be restarted until the grace
period is reset. The grace period is decreased whenever a communication error
occurs. For example, if the first communication problem is resolved in two days,
there are still eight days available to permanently fix the licensing issues. The
Application log section of the Windows Event Viewer shows when grace period
time has elapsed. When the grace period expires, the event 61154 Fatal Error
appears in the Windows Event Viewer.

Resetting the grace period

Using Contact Center Multimedia Administrator controls


Not all Administrator controls are Unicode-aware. The following controls to not
accept Asian characters:
„ Auto-Responses: Attachment filename
„ Skillset Settings: Auto-signature Template filename
„ Rule Precedence: Exported rules filename
„ Certain error dialog boxes, which can render Asian characters as question
marks

For Auto-Response attachments, Auto-signature templates, Exported rules, the


name of the file must be in English when it is configured in the Administrator,
however, the content of the files can contain Asian characters.

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 54.

Using serviceability tools

In this chapter
Use the E-mail Manager Memory Management utility 1336

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1335


Using serviceability tools Standard 7.23

Use the E-mail Manager Memory Management


utility

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.

Note: Large e-mail attachments may degrade the e-mail throughput.

Configuring memory allocation for e-mail


If you want the system to receive e-mail greater than 69 MB, then you must
configure the memory allocation for e-mail messages. By default the system
cannot process e-mail messages that are greater than 69 MB.

To configure the memory allocation for e-mail


1 Browse to C:\Program Files\Nortel\Contact Center Multimedia/
Outbound\Multimedia Server\Email Manager\Utilities\EmailMemory.exe.
2 Double-click EmailMemory.exe.
Result: The Memory Allocation window appears.

March 2008 Using serviceability tools

3 Make the necessary changes, and then click OK.


Result: The Change Memory Setting window appears.
4 Click Yes.

Maximum attachment size formula


The maximum attachment size formulas use the following variables:
„ Encoding adjustment The factor by which the attachment size increases
when the attachment is encoded and attached to an e-mail message.
„ Memory adjustment The factor by which the encoded size increases when
an e-mail message is loaded into the internal representation of the e-mail
message in memory.
„ Buffer memory The memory required by the parts of the application not
involved in processing inbound e-mail messages, which is fairly static.

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 mean 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.

March 2008 Contact life cycles

Outbound contacts

The life cycle of an outbound contact is shown as follows:

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1375


Contact life cycles Standard 7.23

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.

1376 Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound


March 2008 Contact life cycles

E-mail messages

The life cycle of an e-mail message is shown as follows:

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide 1377


Contact life cycles Standard 7.23

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.

March 2008 Contact life cycles

Web Communications contacts

The life cycle of a Web communications contact is shown as follows:

1. The contact is loaded into the Database from the Web server.
To initiate the contact, a customer clicks a text chat button on the customer
interface of a Web site. Contact Center Multimedia shows a form where the
customer can select the appropriate skillset and subject. When the customer
chooses the chat option, Contact Center Multimedia ensures that there are
agents logged on for that skillset, and puts the customer into Web-on-hold.
2. The notification that a Web request is passed to the Open Queue.
The Web communications script is applied, using information such as the
skillset and priority and contact type assigned to the text chat. From the
script, it is determined to which agent the contact is assigned.
The contact information is also included in reports.
3. The contact is passed to the Communication Control Toolkit to present the
contact to an agent.

Overview

Contact Center 6.0 includes many server software applications that control the
routing, handling, and reporting of contacts. This chapter describes the
procedures required to change the computer name or IP address on each server
in the Contact Center 6.0 suite.

If you change the name or IP address of one server software application, you
must update the other server applications in your contact center with the new
information.

ATTENTION
If your servers are all on a network, you can use a Domain
Name Service (DNS) server to resolve name and IP address
translations for your servers. If you do not use a DNS in your
network, you must manually update the HOSTS file on every
server in your network. This chapter provides the instructions
for both a DNS and a non-DNS network. Ensure you follow
the instructions appropriate for your network configuration.

Your contact center can include the following set of server software applications,
depending on your licensed features:
„ Contact Center Manager Server
„ Contact Center License Manager server
„ Contact Center Manager Standby Server (and Replication Server)
„ Contact Center Manager Administration server
„ Communication Control Toolkit server
„ Contact Center Multimedia server
„ Contact Center Multimedia Standby server

You can install one or more server software applications on the same server.

this number when logging on. The agent ID is not associated with any particular
phoneset.

agent priority per skillset


Each agent has a priority per skillset. This priority represents their skill level
within the skillset. This priority is used only in queuing the agent in the idle
agent queues, thus allowing agents with greater priority in a skillset to be
presented with calls before agents of lesser priority. Agent priority per skillset
has a range of 1 to 48, with 1 having the greatest priority. Agent priority per
skillset is not used to determine which request to present to an idle agent when
the agent qualifies for more than one queue request. That presentation is based
