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.
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.

New features
This section provides a brief overview of the new features offered in Contact
Center Multimedia/Outbound 6.0.
Features
The outbound administrator sets up and manages outbound campaigns. Use the
Outbound Campaign Management Tool to complete the following tasks:
Create campaigns with parameters such as start time, end time, and an
optional call script.
Import contact data. You can download contact data from a text file, from a
ODBC-compliant database, or you can enter the data manually. The
outbound contact data contains a list of names, addresses, telephone
numbers, and other recorded information.
Review contact data. When the data is loaded successfully in the database,
the call data is displayed in the Create and Append window on the Call
Settings tab. You can use this window to review and, if necessary, modify
the outbound contact data.
Develop and review agent call scripts.
Monitor the status of all campaigns, modify or cancel campaigns, or
resubmit or cancel any call within a campaign.
The new version of the Communication Control Toolkit provides more firewall-
friendly connections between the Agent Desktop and the Communication
Control Toolkit server. The Agent Desktop client runs on remote clients and
provides Citrix and Terminal Services environment support.
Open queue
Dynamic Transaction Handler (DTH), or the telephony based queue, is replaced
by the software-based Open Queue technology, which can queue up to 30 000
contacts at one time for routing and reporting.
Configure route points and timers for Web communication and text chat
Backup and restore the Caché database.
Archive and restore the Caché database.
Other functions have been moved to other applications and utilities within the
Contact Center portfolio in this release:
Reports are run using Contact Center Manager Administration.
All real-time displays are viewable through Contact Center Manager
Administration real-time displays.
The user and skillset information is provided by Contact Center Manager
Administration.

In this section
Step 6. Provide local users with the Log on as a service right 82
Step 7. Configure the shared inbound and outbound attachment folders 87
Step 8. Configure Internet Information Services 100
Step 9. Verify the Multimedia database installation 109
Step 10. Other postinstallation tasks 110
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.
6 Click Locations.
7 In the Locations dialog box, select the Contact Center Multimedia server
name from the list.
8 Click OK.
9 In the Enter the object name to select box, type CCMMOPSUSR.
10 Click Check Names to verify that the user name exists on the local
computer.
11 Click OK.
Result: The Logon as a service Properties dialog box appears.
12 Click Add User or Group.
Result: The Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box appears.
13 Click Locations.
14 In the Enter the object name to select box, type IUSR_<Servername>
where <Servername> is the name of your Multimedia server.
15 Click Check Names to verify that the user name exists on the local
computer.
16 Click OK.
Result: The Log on as a service Properties dialog box appears.
17 Click Apply to save the changes.
18 Click OK.
19 Close the Local Security Settings window.
3 Click Users.
5 On the General tab, select the check box Password Never Expires.
6 Click OK.
This procedure is optional. If you do not have a license for the E-mail Manager,
proceed directly to Step 9. “Verify the Multimedia database installation” on page
109.
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.
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>.

What is next?
Ensure your clients meet the requirements for your client applications. For more
information, see Step 11. “Check the requirements for each client” on page 112.
In this section
Step 11. Check the requirements for each client 112
Step 12. Install .NET Framework on clients 115
Step 13. Configure access to client applications 117
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.
Verifying requirements
Before you work with the client, follow the steps in this section to make sure you
have the required information and materials for using the clients.
1 Obtain the user ID and password that you need to log on to the client. On a
Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional client, you need
an account that has local administrative privileges.
2 Check that you have the following hardware. For complete details, see the
Contact Center Planning and Engineering Guide:
Description Done
Client hardware
Each client running the Contact Center Multimedia server client
applications has the following elements:
Intel Pentium III 733 MHz CPU ❑
256 MB RAM ❑
4 GB disk space ❑
7200 rpm hard disk drive IDE/SCSI Bus ❑
VGA color monitor ❑
keyboard ❑
Microsoft-compatible mouse ❑
Network interface card (100 Mb/s Ethernet) ❑
Network connection to the Nortel server subnet ❑
TCP/IP ❑
Optional requirements:
4-speed or higher CD-ROM drive ❑
sound card (required if you want the agent to hear an audible ❑
alert on their speaker or headset when a multimedia contact
arrives)
Description Done
Client software
Clients have one of the following operating systems: Windows ❑
2000 Professional with service pack 4, Windows XP
Professional with service pack 2, or Windows Vista
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 with service pack 1 (See Step ❑
12. “Install .NET Framework on clients” on page 115)
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi (See Step 13. “Configure access ❑
to client applications” on page 117”)
Internet Explorer 5.5 or later ❑
The .NET Framework version 1.1 and .NET service pack 1 must be installed on
the clients before you can run an application such as the Contact Center Agent
Desktop application or the Outbound Campaign Management Tool.
You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET Framework on
the same client. If you want to view .NET Framework applications in a different
language, you must download the appropriate language version of the .NET
Framework language pack.
5 Verify that the version is 1.1.4322. If the version is not correct, you must
install the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
6 Click Close.
7 Close the Add and Remove Programs window.
The Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound Campaign Management Tool
applications are based on Microsoft .NET technology. The .NET deployment
model is based on clients pulling the latest version of an application from a Web
server. This .NET deployment provides the benefit of deploying a thick client
using thin-client technology and the ability to automatically update the
applications based on updates and patches on the server.
Accessing the Web server introduces the potential for a client to download
malicious code. The following information provides the procedures to set the
security and to deploy the Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound
Campaign Management Tool with minimal risk.
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.
Group policy
In addition to using an SMS server, a system administrator can install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file on clients within the same domain using a
Windows group policy. For details, see document 324750 on the Microsoft
knowledge base.
3 Verify that you see Code Groups named CCMM, SHDocVw, and xceed.
What is next?
Begin configuring the other components required for routing Multimedia
contacts. For more information, see Step 14. “Configure phonesets on the switch
for each agent” on page 122.
In this section
Step 14. Configure phonesets on the switch for each agent 122
Step 15. Create a Windows user for each agent 123
Step 16. Configure the e-mail server 124
You must ensure that the phonesets are configured on the switch. For more
information, see the Contact Center, Communication Server 1000/Meridian 1
and Voice Processing Guide.
You need to configure phonesets for agents that handle voice or outbound
contacts. Agents who handle only e-mail contacts do not require a phoneset.
Create a terminal number (TN) entry for each contact center agent ❑
as per instructions in the Contact Center Manager Server
Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Ensure that key 0 has Automatic call distribution call (ACD) ❑
functionality. TNs can be configured with a Contact Center
Manager Server-specific ACD queue or a normal ACD queue used
for both voice and media.
Enable Associated Set Assignment (AST) for the ACD key and for ❑
one of the other personal DN keys.
AST can only be configured on a maximum of two keys.
A Windows user account defines the actions a user can perform. You must create
each user on the domain used by the contact center for agent resources.
Security
To improve the security of a password, use at least two of these elements:
uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. The more random the
sequence of characters, the more secure the password.
This step must only be completed if you are licensed for e-mail contacts in your
Multimedia contact center.
Configure and create the required mailboxes to use with Contact Center
Multimedia. Use the documentation supplied with your e-mail server software to
configure the mailboxes to be used for receiving contacts.
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 the required elements in the Contact Center Manager Server. For
more information, see Step 17. “Enable Open Queue” on page 126.
In this section
Step 17. Enable Open Queue 126
Step 18. Ensure the CCT server is configured 129
ATTENTION
If a large number of contacts are queued and Contact Center
Manager Server is restarted, Contact Center Manager server
queues 5000 contacts per hour. A period of time can elapse
before your contacts are displayed in Real-Time displays or
assigned to agents.
The License Manager on the License server must contain the correct license
information to provide Open Queue feature. For a description of the licensing,
see Appendix B, “Feature licensing.”
You must ensure that the Communication Control Toolkit server is configured in
Contact Center Manager Server.
1 In the Server Setup Configuration Utility dialog box, click the CCT Server
tab.
2 If you are using a remote Communication Control Toolkit server, select the
Use a remote CCT server check box.

4 On the menu bar, click Server > Refresh Server.
Result: The system asks if you are sure you want to refresh the selected
server.
5 Click Yes.
Result: The system warns that all browsers using Contact Center Manager
Administration must be refreshed. If there has been a feature change to the
Contact Center Manager Server, the change is not reflected in each
browser until it is refreshed.
6 Click Yes.
Result: The system refreshes the server in the system tree.
You must add and acquire each phoneset that an agent or supervisor uses to log
on to the system. When Contact Center Manager Server acquires a phoneset, the
Communication Server 1000/Meridian 1 PBX switch begins sending messages
about these phonesets to the system.
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. For more information, see Step 14. “Configure phonesets on the switch
for each agent” on page 122.
5 In the Name box, type the name of the phoneset as you want it to appear in
reports.
6 In the Type box, select the type of terminal.
7 In the Address box, type the address of the phoneset on the telephony
server.
8 In the Channel box, type the channel number.
9 Click in any other row of the table. The system adds the phoneset, and Not
Acquired appears in the Status column.
Acquiring a phoneset
You must acquire each phoneset so that the switch sends a message to the system
when the agent logs on to the phoneset.
You must create skillsets for the contacts you are eligible to receive or send. You
must have at least one skillset for each type of contact. For this purpose, a
default skillset is created in Contact Center Manager Administration. For e-mail
contacts, you must configure a 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.
5 In the next available row, in the Skillset Name box, type the name for the
skillset.
Tip: If you are creating an e-mail skillset, the prefix EM_ must appear
before the skillset name. If you are creating an outbound skillset, the prefix
OB_ must appear before the name. If you are creating a Web
Communication skillset, WC_ must proceed the name. If you use any other
prefix, the skillset is assigned to voice contacts.
6 From the Default Activity Code list, select the activity code that is
registered whenever this skillset is used. This number must be defined in
the system already.
7 From the Threshold Class list, select the threshold class associated with
this skillset.
8 From the Call Age Preference list, select how you want to configure the
order of calls in the queue. If you want to give priority to the oldest call in the
system, select Oldest.
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.
10 From the Out of Service Mode list, select a value to take the skillset offline
and specify the service mode for the manual night service switch.
11 Optionally, in the Comment box, type any comments you have about the
skillset.

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.
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.
The first time you log on to the Multimedia Administrator, use the following:
Username: SysAdmin
Password: _ _ccmm!
Nortel recommends that you change the default administrator password after
you finish configuring the multimedia contact types.
3 Click OK.

appears. If you are opening the Contact Center Multimedia Administrator
for the first time, the Getting Started screen appears on top of the
Multimedia Administrator window.
Tip: The Getting Started window shows that licenses are available for e-
mail, outbound, and Web communications in this contact center.
Tip: The line below the title of the Getting Started window shows your
current license. The procedures in this chapter assume that you have user
licenses for contacts of type outbound (OB_), e-mail (EM_), and Web
communications (WC_). Your licensing can be different.
2 Click Begin.
Result: The Skillset Settings window appears.
Configuring skillsets
You must configure route points for all skillsets you use for multimedia contacts.
You must configure at least one skillset for each contact type for which you are
licensed.
Voice skillsets are prefixed by VO_ or do not contain a prefix.
E-mail skillsets are prefixed by EM_. You can also configure an optional
autoresponse for an e-mail skillset that is used to respond immediately to an
e-mail message from a customer.
Outbound skillsets are prefixed with OB_.
Web Communication skillsets are prefixed with WC_.
If you edit a skillset for outbound contacts or Web communications, the Edit
Skillset window appears:
3 In the Route Point list, select the route point that you want to assign to the
skillset.
4 Click Save.
Result: The Edit Skillset window closes. In the Skillset Settings window, the
configured route point appears next to the skillset.
5 Repeat steps 1–4 for each skillset required.
You must configure at least one skillset for each licensed contact type
(e-mail [EM], voice [VI], Web communications [WC], outbound [OB]).
6 When all skillsets are configured, click Close to close the Skillset Settings
window.
Click OK, and begin the contact configuration using the Getting Started
window again.
What is next?
If you have only outbound contacts licensed, your required configuration in the
Multimedia Administrator application is complete.
You can configure optional settings for outbound contacts, such as the Outbound
Scheduler. For more information about the optional outbound contact
configurations, see Chapter 10, “Configuring outbound settings and routing.”
If you are licensed for e-mail messages or Web communications, the Server
Configuration window appears and you can continue configuring your
requirements for the E-mail Manager or the Web Communications Manager.
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).
You can configure additional e-mail servers. For information about configuring
additional servers, see the Multimedia Administrator online Help.
4 Click Save.
Result: The E-mail Server Properties window closes. If you are licensed for
Web communications, the External Web Server Properties window
appears. If you are not licensed for Web communications, the New
Recipient window appears.
Initially, the external Web server is the server that you use for developing one or
two Web pages for your corporate Web site. You can use the development server
configuration for development and testing. When you are ready to move the Web
pages to the production Web server that is accessed by your customers, you must
change the name of the external Web server.
3 Click Save.
Result: The Server Properties window closes.
4 Click Close.
Result: The New Recipient window appears.
What is next?
If you are licensed for only Web communications contacts, your required
configuration in the Multimedia Administrator application is complete.
You can configure optional settings for Web communications contacts, such as
the Web-on-hold URLs and autophrases. For more information about the
optional Web communications contact configurations, see Chapter 12,
“Configuring Web communications settings.”
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.
12 Click Save.
Result: The System Default Rule window appears. The New Recipient
window is still open for your reference.
To modify the system default rule, you must select a route point for the default
skillset. You can configure the other properties of the rule, including the skillset
used for routing the e-mail.
When you create a recipient mailbox, the system default rule is copied as the last
regular rule into the list of rules for the recipient mailbox. The default rule
ensures that all contacts received by the mailbox are assigned a skillset.
CAUTION
The intention of the system default rule is to route all contacts that
do not match any other rules.
If you change the properties of the rule, you affect the behavior of
the system default rule, which affects all recipient mailboxes you
configure in the E-mail Manager.
If an administrator deletes the skillset associated with a default
rule, the default skillset, EM_Default_Skillset, is used as a
substitute.
If an administrator deletes the EM_Default_Skillset, the system
stops processing e-mail messages.
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.
4 Click Save.
Result: The System Delivery Failure Rule window appears.
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.

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.
CAUTION
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
If you did not configure the route points for all of the skillsets, you must
configure the route point for the skillset for the system delivery failure rule. See
“Configuring skillsets” on page 207.
5 Click Save.
Result: The System Delivery Failure Rule window and the New Recipient
window close. The Rules window appears.
3 Click OK.
4 Click OK to close the Getting Started window. You can return to the Getting
Started window at any time: On the Utilities menu of the Multimedia

Overview
If you are using Web communications in your contact center, you can use the
Sample Customer Interface (CI) Web site implementation to assist you to
develop web pages for your corporate Web site. The Web services architecture is
a platform-independent interface that can be accessed by customers from both
Microsoft .NET and Java applications. Customer Web sites or third-party
applications use the open interface for integration with the Nortel Contact Center
Multimedia system.
In development, you can access the Web services from either ASP.NET or JSP
Web applications.
The Customer Interface Web services provide a range of methods that allow you
to perform the following functions:
register new customers in the Contact Center Multimedia database
log on or log off existing customers
update customer logon credentials
create customer contacts
update customer details
read customer information
review a customer contact history
request immediate or scheduled callback requests
read a contact
create and maintain a Web communications chat session
ATTENTION
If you want to use e-mail or callbacks in your Customer
Interface Web methods, you must have the appropriate
licensing for your agents. For example, to request an
immediate or scheduled callback request, you must have agent
licenses for Outbound contacts.
For developers who want to integrate with the Nortel Contact Center Multimedia
system using Web Services, the following items are available on the Nortel
Developer Partner Program Web site:
Web Service documentation including an API reference in HTML format
An installation package for the Sample Customer Interface Web site.
You can use the sample implementation as a reference to assist you with
development of a live customer Web site.
You can use the sample Customer Interface (CI) Web site as a reference
implementation of the open interface to the Contact Center Multimedia
database. The sample Web Customer Interface is implemented using Java Server
Pages (JSP) running on a Tomcat Servlet container. The primary purpose of the
sample CI Web site is to demonstrate the basic functionality available through
the Web services and for testing the Contact Center Multimedia in a lab
environment.
http://<webserver>:8080/CI_Sample_Website
where <webserver> is the host name of the Web server where you installed the
sample CI Web site.
Note: The default port for Apache Tomcat server is 8080. For information about
changing the default port, see the Apache Tomcat documentation.
The following sections briefly describe the functionality available through the
sample CI Web site.
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.
If the customerLogin method returns an error code indicating that the customer
is already logged on, then the customerAlreadyLoggedIn.jsp page is displayed.
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.
When the customer adds or updates new information and clicks Update Details,
the form is passed to updateCustomer_WSClient.jsp,which invokes the Web
methods updateCustomer, updateAddress, updateEmailAddress, and
updatePhoneNumber. If the information in the fields is new,
updateCustomer_WSClient.jsp invokes the Web methods addAddress,
addEmailAddress, and addPhoneNumber. The results of the update appear in the
updateCustomer_WSClient.jsp page.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The web.xml file for the customer interface sample Web site is located in
webapps\CI_Sample_Website\WEB_INF folder of the Tomcat Servlet container.
Use the information in this section to verify that the customer interface Web site
is installed properly.
Creating a customer
Create your test customer using predefined e-mail and phone by completing the
following steps.
2 Complete the Title, First Name, Last Name, Username, Password, E-mail
Address, Confirm Password, and Number for your test customer. You can
add other details about the customer if required.
3 To log on this customer immediately after you create, select the Login
Customer check box.
4 If you do not select the Login Customer check box, and you want to log on
the customer now, click Log in Customer.
4 In the Skillset box, select the skillset that your agent from step 2 is eligible
to handle.
5 In the Subject box, type the subject of the text chat.
6 Click Submit.
Result: On the Contact Center Agent Desktop, your logged on agent
receives the Web communications contact.
7 Close the test contact.
8 Log off the test customer.
4 In the Skillset box, select the skillset that your agent from step 2 is eligible
to handle.
5 In the Subject box, type the subject of the outbound contact.
6 In the Objective box, type a summary of the reason for the callback.
7 Click Submit.
Result: On the Contact Center Agent Desktop, your logged on agent
receives the outbound contact.
8 Close the test contact.
9 Log off the test customer.
2 Log an agent who can handle an e-mail message skillset on to the Contact
Center Agent Desktop. Make the agent available to receive contacts.
4 In the Mail To box, type the e-mail address that is forwarded to the agent
who is logged on.
5 In the Subject box, type the subject of the e-mail message.
6 Click Submit.
Result: On the Contact Center Agent Desktop, your logged on agent
receives the outbound contact.
7 Close the test contact.
8 Log off the test customer.
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.

Step 9. Configure Internet Information Services (IIS) 348
Step 10. Verify the Multimedia database installation 357
Step 11. Other postinstallation tasks 358
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.

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.
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

Ensure your clients meet the requirements for your client applications. For more
information, see Step 12. “Check the requirements for each client” on page 360.
In this section
Step 12. Check the requirements for each client 360
Step 13. Install .NET Framework on clients 363
Step 14. Configure access to client applications 365
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.
Requirements
Before you work with the clients, follow the steps in this section to make sure
you have the required information and materials for using the clients.
1 Obtain the user ID and password that you need to log on to the client. On a
Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows XP Professional client, you need
an account with local administrative privileges.
2 Check that you have the following hardware (see the Contact Center
Planning and Engineering Guide for more complete details):
Description Done
Client hardware
Each client running the Contact Center Multimedia server client
applications has the following elements:
Intel Pentium III 733 MHz CPU ❑
256 MB RAM ❑
4 GB disk space ❑
7200 rpm hard disk drive IDE/SCSI Bus ❑
VGA color monitor ❑
keyboard ❑
Microsoft-compatible mouse ❑
Network interface card (100 Mb/s Ethernet) ❑
Network connection to the Nortel server subnet ❑
TCP/IP ❑
Optional requirements:
4-speed or higher CD-ROM drive ❑
sound card (required if you want the agent to hear an audible ❑
alert on their speaker or headset when a multimedia contact
arrives)
Description Done
Client software
Clients have one of the following operating systems: Windows ❑
2000 Professional with service pack 4, Windows XP
Professional with service pack 2, or Windows Vista
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 with service pack 1 (See Step ❑
13. “Install .NET Framework on clients” on page 363)
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi (See Step 14. “Configure access ❑
to client applications” on page 365”)
Internet Explorer 5.5 or later ❑
The .NET Framework version 1.1 and .NET service pack 1 must be installed on
the clients before you can run an application such as the Contact Center Agent
Desktop application or the Outbound Campaign Management Tool.
You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET Framework on
the same client. If you want to view .NET Framework applications in a different
language, you must download the appropriate language version of the .NET
Framework language pack.
5 Verify that the version is 1.1.4322. If this version is not correct, you must
install the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
6 Click Close.
7 Close the Add and Remove Programs window.
The Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound Campaign Management Tool
applications are based on Microsoft .NET technology. The .NET deployment
model is based on clients pulling the latest version of an application from a Web
server. This .NET deployment provides the benefit of deploying a thick client
using thin-client technology and the ability to automatically update the
applications based on updates and patches on the server.
Accessing the Web server introduces the potential for a client to download
malicious code. The following information provides the procedures to set the
security and to deploy the Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound
Campaign Management Tool with minimal risk.
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.
Group policy
In addition to using an SMS server, a system administrator can install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file on clients within the same domain using a
Windows group policy. For details, see document 324750 on the Microsoft
knowledge base.
3 Verify that you see Code Groups named CCMM, SHDocVw, and xceed.
What is next?
Begin configuring the other components required for routing Multimedia
contacts. For more information, see Step 15. “Configure phonesets on the switch
for each agent” on page 370.
In this section
Step 15. Configure phonesets on the switch for each agent 370
Step 16. Create a Windows user for each agent 372
Step 17. Configure the e-mail server 373
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.
Create a terminal number (TN) entry for each contact center agent ❑
as per instructions in the Contact Center Manager Server
Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Ensure that key 0 has Automatic call distribution call (ACD) ❑
functionality. TNs can be configured with a Contact Center
Manager Server-specific ACD queue or a normal ACD queue used
for both voice and media.
Enable Associated Set Assignment (AST) for the ACD key and for ❑
one of the other personal DN keys.
AST can only be configured on a maximum of two keys.
A Windows user account defines the actions a user can perform. Each user needs
to be created on the domain used by the contact center for agent resources. If all
of the users are configured from your installation of Symposium Web Center
Portal 4.0, you can proceed to Step 17. “Configure the e-mail server” on page
373.
Security
To improve the security of a password, use at least two of these elements:
uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. The more random the
sequence of characters, the more secure the password.
This step must only be completed if you are licensed for e-mail contacts in your
Multimedia contact center.
Configure and create the required mailboxes to use with Contact Center
Multimedia. Use the documentation supplied with your e-mail server software to
configure the mailboxes to be used for receiving contacts.
If you are using the same e-mail server and the same e-mail mailboxes as you
were using for Symposium Web Center Portal 4.0, no further configuration is
required on the e-mail server.
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.

9 Click in any other row of the table. The system adds the phoneset, and Not
Acquired appears in the Status column.
Acquiring a phoneset
You must acquire each phoneset so that the switch sends a message to the system
when the agent logs on to the phoneset.
You must create skillsets for the contacts you are eligible to receive or send. You
must have at least one skillset for each type of contact. For this purpose, a
default skillset is created in Contact Center Manager Administration. For e-mail
contacts, you must configure a 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.
5 In the next available row, in the Skillset Name box, type the name for the
skillset.
Note: If you are creating an e-mail skillset, the prefix EM_ must appear
before the skillset name. If you are creating an outbound skillset, the prefix
OB_ must appear before the name. If you are creating a Web
Communication skillset, WC_ must proceed the name. If you use any other
prefix, the skillset is assigned to voice contacts.
6 From the Default Activity Code list, select the activity code that is
registered whenever this skillset is used. This number must be defined in
the system already.
7 From the Threshold Class list, select the threshold class associated with
this skillset.
8 From the Call Age Preference list, select how you want to configure the
order of calls in the queue. If you want to give priority to the oldest call in the
system, select Oldest.
Note: All skillsets used by Contact Center Multimedia must have the Call
Age Preference set to Oldest to ensure that the contact that is in the system
for the longest time is presented to an agent first.
9 Optionally, in the Map to ACD-DN box, type the ACD-DN number to which
the skillset can be mapped. If you map the skillset to an ACD-DN, calls to
that ACD-DN are pegged against the skillset in reports.
10 From the Out of Service Mode list, select a value to take the skillset offline
and specify the service mode for the manual night service switch.
11 Optionally, in the Comment box, type any comments you have about the
skillset.
12 Press tab to save your changes.

Step 43. “Log on to the Multimedia Administrator” on page 482.
Only one step is required to configure outbound contacts: configure the route
points for all outbound skillsets.
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.
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.

requirements for the E-mail Manager or the Web Communications Manager.
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).
You can configure additional e-mail servers. For information about configuring
additional servers, see the Multimedia Administrator online Help.

Note: The New Recipient box is still open for your reference.
To modify the system default rule, you must select a route point for the default
skillset. You can configure the other properties of the rule, including the skillset
used for routing the e-mail.
When you create a recipient mailbox, the system default rule is copied as the last
regular rule into the list of rules for the recipient mailbox. The Default rule
ensures that all contacts received by the mailbox are assigned a skillset.
CAUTION
The intention of the system default rule is to route all contacts that
do not match any other rules.
If you change the properties of the rule, you affect the behavior of
the system default rule, which affects all recipient mailboxes you
configure in the E-mail Manager.
If an administrator deletes the skillset associated with a default
rule, the default skillset, EM_Default_Skillset, is used as a
substitute.
If an administrator deletes the EM_Default_Skillset, the system
stops processing e-mail messages.
Note: If you did not configure the route points for all of the skillsets, you must
configure the route points for the skillset you assign to the system default rule.
For more information, see “Configuring skillsets” on page 485.
4 Click Save.
Result: The System Delivery Failure Rule window appears.
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

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.
CAUTION
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
Note: If you did not configure the route points for all of the skillsets, you must
configure the route point for the skillset for the system delivery failure rule. See
“Configuring skillsets” on page 485.
5 Click Save.
Result: The System Delivery Failure Rule window and the New Recipient
windows close. The Rules window appears.

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.

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.
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.
SMS
Because installation procedures through an SMS system can vary from one
company to the next, follow your company guidelines to install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file for the SMS clients on your network. For more
information, see the documentation on the Microsoft Web site at
http://www.microsoft.com.
Group policy
In addition to using an SMS server, a system administrator can install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file on clients within the same domain using a
Windows group policy. For details, see document 324750 on the Microsoft
knowledge base.
3 Verify that you see Code Groups named CCMM, SHDocVw, and xceed.
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.
In this section
Step 7. Create additional agent phonesets 550
Step 8. Create additional multimedia skillsets 553
Step 9. Create additional supervisors and agents 556
Step 10. Create additional route points 559
Step 11. Configure additional sample multimedia scripts 561
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.
5 In the Name box, type the name of the phoneset as you want it to appear in
reports.
6 In the Type box, select the type of terminal.
7 In the Address box, type the address of the phoneset on the telephony
server.
8 In the Channel box, type the channel number.
9 Click in any other row of the table. The system adds the phoneset, and Not
Acquired appears in the Status column.
Acquiring a phoneset
You must acquire each phoneset so that the switch sends a message to the system
when the agent logs on to the phoneset.
1 In the Phonesets/Voice Ports window, in the table, select the Acquired
check box in the row containing the phone set that you want to acquire.
Note: Clear the Acquired check mark to deacquire the phoneset.

or deacquires the phoneset, and the status appears in the Status column.
Note: Click Refresh Status to view the current status of the acquisition or
de-acquisition.
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.
5 In the next available row, in the Skillset Name box, type the name for the
skillset.
Note: If you are creating an e-mail skillset, the prefix EM_ must appear
before the skillset name. If you are creating an outbound skillset, the prefix
OB_ must appear before the name. If you are creating a Web
Communication skillset, WC_ must proceed the name. If you use any other
prefix, the skillset is assigned to voice contacts.
6 From the Default Activity Code list, select the activity code that is
registered whenever this skillset is used. This number must be defined in
the system already.
7 From the Threshold Class list, select the threshold class associated with
this skillset.
8 From the Call Age Preference list, select how you want to configure the
order of calls in the queue. If you want to give priority to the oldest call in the
system, select Oldest.
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.
10 From the Out of Service Mode list, select a value to take the skillset offline
and specify the service mode for the manual night service switch.
11 Optionally, in the Comment box, type any comments you have about the
skillset.

2 Click Begin.
Result: The Skillset Settings window appears.
Configuring skillsets
You must configure route points for all skillsets you use for multimedia contacts.
You must configure at least one skillset for each contact type for which you are
licensed.
Voice skillsets are prefixed by VO_ or do not contain a prefix.
E-mail skillsets are prefixed by EM_. You can also configure an optional
autoresponse for an e-mail skillset that is used to respond immediately to an
e-mail message from a customer.
Outbound skillsets are prefixed with OB_.
Web Communication skillsets are prefixed with WC_.
If you edit a skillset for outbound contacts or Web communications, the Edit
Skillset window appears:
3 In the Route Point list, select the route point that you want to assign to the
skillset.
4 Click Save.
Result: The Edit Skillset window closes. In the Skillset Settings window, the
configured route point appears next to the skillset.
5 Repeat steps 1–4 for each skillset required.
You must configure at least one skillset for each contact type you are
licensed to use (e-mail [EM], voice [VI], Web communications [WC],
outbound [OB]).
6 When all skillsets are configured, click Close to close the Skillset Settings
window.
Click OK, and begin the contact configuration using the Getting Started
window again.
What is next?
If you have only Outbound contacts licensed, your required configuration in the

more information about the Outbound Scheduler, see the Multimedia
Administrator online Help.
If you are licensed for e-mail messages or Web communications, the Server
Configuration window appears and you can continue configuring your
requirements for the E-mail Manager or the Web Communications Manager.
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).
You can configure additional e-mail servers. For information about configuring
additional servers, see the Multimedia Administrator online Help.

Note: The New Recipient box is still open for your reference.
To modify the system default rule, you must select a route point for the default
skillset. You can configure the other properties of the rule, including the skillset
used for routing the e-mail.
When you create a recipient mailbox, the system default rule is copied as the last
regular rule into the list of rules for the recipient mailbox. The Default rule
ensures that all contacts received by the mailbox are assigned a skillset.
CAUTION
The intention of the system default rule is to route all contacts that
do not match any other rules.
If you change the properties of the rule, you affect the behavior of
the system default rule, which affects all recipient mailboxes you
configure in the E-mail Manager.
If an administrator deletes the skillset associated with a default
rule, the default skillset, EM_Default_Skillset, is used as a
substitute.
If an administrator deletes the EM_Default_Skillset, the system
stops processing e-mail messages.
Note: If you did not configure the route points for all of the skillsets, you must
configure the route points for the skillset you assign to the system default rule.
For more information, see “Configuring skillsets” on page 611.

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.
CAUTION
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.

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
Note: If you did not configure the route points for all of the skillsets, you must
configure the route point for the skillset for the system delivery failure rule. See

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.

Ensure your clients meet the requirements for your client applications. For more
information, see Step 13. “Check the requirements for each client” on page 734.
In this section
Step 13. Check the requirements for each client 734
Step 14. Install .NET Framework on clients 737
Step 15. Configure access to client applications 739
Note: You checked the requirements for the clients in your contact center during
the configuration of your old Contact Center Multimedia server. If you are not
adding or changing clients in your contact center, then proceed toStep
16. “Configure phonesets on the switch for each agent” on page 744.
The Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound Campaign Management Tool
are client applications installed on the Contact Center Multimedia server.
From a client, an agent types a URL into a Web browser 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.
Requirements
Before you work with the client, follow the steps in this section to make sure you
have the required information and materials for using the clients.
1 Obtain the user ID and password that you need to log on to the client. On a
Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows XP Professional client, you need
an account that has local administrative privileges.
2 Check that you have the following hardware (see the Contact Center
Planning and Engineering Guide for complete details):
Description Done
Client hardware
Each client running the Contact Center Multimedia server client
applications has the following elements:
Intel Pentium III 733 MHz CPU ❑
256 MB RAM ❑
4 GB disk space ❑
7200 rpm hard disk drive IDE/SCSI Bus ❑
VGA color monitor ❑
keyboard ❑
Microsoft-compatible mouse ❑
Network interface card (100 Mb/s Ethernet) ❑
Network connection to the Nortel server subnet ❑
TCP/IP ❑
Optional requirements:
4-speed or higher CD-ROM drive ❑
sound card (required if you want the agent to hear an audible ❑
alert on their speaker or headset when a multimedia contact
arrives)
Description Done
Client software
Clients have one of the following operating systems: Windows ❑
2000 Professional with service pack 4, Windows XP
Professional with service pack 2, or Windows Vista
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 with service pack 1 (See Step ❑
14. “Install .NET Framework on clients” on page 737)

Internet Explorer 5.5 or later ❑
The .NET Framework version 1.1 and .NET service pack 1 must be installed on
the clients before you can run an application such as the Agent Desktop
application or the Outbound Campaign Management Tool.
Note: You cannot install two different language versions of the .NET
Framework on the same client. If you want to view .NET Framework
applications in a different language, you must download the appropriate
language version of the .NET Framework language pack.
5 Verify that the version is 1.1.4322. If this version is not correct, you must
install the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
6 Click Close.
7 Close the Add and Remove Programs window.
The Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound Campaign Management Tool
applications are based on Microsoft .NET technology. The .NET deployment
model is based on clients pulling the latest version of an application from a Web
server. This .NET deployment provides the benefit of deploying a thick client
using thin-client technology and the ability to automatically update the
applications based on updates and patches on the server.
Accessing the Web server introduces the potential for a client to download
malicious code. The following information provides the procedures to set the
security and to deploy the Contact Center Agent Desktop and Outbound
Campaign Management Tool with minimal risk.
Note: If a client is outside the Multimedia server domain, then make the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file available to the client from a secure network
drive.

2 Ensure Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration Tool is not open.
3 Double-click CCMM_Security_Policy.msi to install the file.
Result: The security policy file is applied.
SMS
Because installation procedures through an SMS system can vary from one
company to the next, follow your company guidelines to install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file for the SMS clients on your network. For more
information, see the documentation on the Microsoft Web site at
http://www.microsoft.com.
Group policy
In addition to using an SMS server, a system administrator can install the
CCMM_Security_Policy.msi file on clients within the same domain using a
Windows group policy. For details, see document 324750 on the Microsoft
knowledge base.
3 Verify that you see Code Groups named CCMM, 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
it was, you have already configured the phonesets, Windows users, your e-mail
server, Contact Center Manager server, Contact Center Manager Administration,
the Communications Control Toolkit, and the contact types in the Multimedia
Administrator. You can proceed toStep 42. “Start the client applications,” on
page 863.
If you want to change any of the configurations, use the following sections to
configure the resources required for your contact center.
In this section
Step 16. Configure phonesets on the switch for each agent 744
Step 17. Create a Windows user for each agent 746
Step 18. Configure the e-mail server 748
Note: You configured the phonesets in your contact center during the
configuration of your old Contact Center Multimedia server. If you are not
adding or changing phonesets in your contact center, then proceed to Step
17. “Create a Windows user for each agent” on page 746.
You must ensure that the phonesets are configured on the switch. For more
information, see the Contact Center, Communication Server 1000/Meridian 1
and Voice Processing Guide.
You need to configure phonesets for agents that handle voice or outbound
contacts. Agents who handle only e-mail contacts do not require a phoneset.
Create a terminal number (TN) entry for each contact center agent ❑
as per instructions in the Contact Center Manager Server
Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Enable Associated Set Assignment (AST) for the ACD key and for ❑
one of the other personal DN keys.

You created the Windows users in your contact center during the configuration
of your old Contact Center Multimedia server. If you are not adding or changing
Windows users in your contact center, then proceed to Step 18. “Configure the e-
mail server” on page 748.
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
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.
You configured the e-mail server during the configuration of your old Contact
Center Multimedia server. If you are not changing the configuration of the e-
mail server, then proceed to Step 19. “Enable Open Queue” on page 750.

Note: You created the agent phonesets, in your contact center during the
configuration of your old Contact Center Multimedia server. If you are not
adding or changing agent phonesets in your contact center, then proceed to Step
23. “Create required multimedia skillsets” on page 762.
You must add and acquire each phoneset that an agent or supervisor uses to log
on to the system. When Contact Center Manager Server acquires a phoneset, the
Communication Server 1000/Meridian 1 PBX switch begins sending messages
about these phonesets to the system.
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. For more information, see Step 16. “Configure phonesets on the switch
for each agent” on page 744.
5 In the Name box, type the name of the phoneset as you want it to appear in
reports.
Acquiring a phoneset
You must acquire each phoneset so that the switch sends a message to the system
when the agent logs on to the phoneset.
1 In the Phonesets/Voice Ports window, in the table, select the Acquired
check box in the row containing the phone set that you want to acquire.
Clear the Acquired check mark to deacquire the phoneset.

configuration of your old Contact Center Multimedia server. If you are not
adding or changing multimedia skillsets in your contact center, then proceed to
Step 24. “Create supervisors and agents” on page 765.
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.
5 In the next available row, in the Skillset Name box, type the name for the
skillset.
ATTENTION
If you are creating an e-mail skillset, the prefix EM_ must
appear before the skillset name. If you are creating an
outbound skillset, the prefix OB_ must appear before the
name. If you are creating a Web Communication skillset,
WC_ must proceed the name. If you use any other prefix,
the skillset is assigned to voice contacts.
6 From the Default Activity Code list, select the activity code that is
registered whenever this skillset is used. This number must be defined in
the system already.
7 From the Threshold Class list, select the threshold class associated with
this skillset.
8 From the Call Age Preference list, select how you want to configure the
order of calls in the queue. If you want to give priority to the oldest call in the
system, select Oldest.
All skillsets used by Contact Center Multimedia must have the Call Age
Preference set to Oldest to ensure that the contact that is in the system for
the longest time is presented to an agent first.
9 Optionally, in the Map to ACD-DN box, type the ACD-DN number to which
the skillset can be mapped. If you map the skillset to an ACD-DN, calls to
that ACD-DN are pegged against the skillset in reports.
10 From the Out of Service Mode list, select a value to take the skillset offline
and specify the service mode for the manual night service switch.
11 Optionally, in the Comment box, type any comments you have about the
skillset.

You created route points in your contact center during the configuration of your
old Contact Center Multimedia server. If you are not adding or changing route
points in your contact center, then proceed to Step 26. “Configure the sample
multimedia scripts” on page 770.
Route points are used to assign a destination for the Multimedia contacts that are
assigned to skillsets.
If you add an Open Queue CDN (route point) you do not need to configure the
CDN (route point) to the switch.
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.
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.
You can use the sample Multimedia scripts in Contact Center Manager by
importing them into either an existing script or a new script in the Scripting
component. The Import command adds the text of the imported sample script at
the end of any text in the current script.
You can import a sample script into Contact Center Manager Administration in
two ways:
To import a sample script into an existing script, in the Script Manager,
double-click the script into which you want to import the sample script. The

In this section
Step 36. Understand the contact types 826
Step 37. Log on to the Multimedia Administrator 830
Step 38. Start the configuration tool 832
Step 39. Update the E-mail Manager service 851
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.
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.
Only one step is required to configure outbound contacts: configure the route
points for all outbound skillsets.
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.
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.
You configured the contact types during the configuration of your old Contact
Center Multimedia server, and the information was migrated to your new
Contact Center Multimedia server when you restored the database backup. If
you are not adding or changing any Multimedia contacts configuration, then
proceed to Step 39. “Update the E-mail Manager service” on page 851.

requirements for the E-mail Manager or the Web Communications Manager.
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).
You can configure additional e-mail servers. For information about configuring
additional servers, see the Multimedia Administrator online Help.

Note: The New Recipient box is still open for your reference.
To modify the system default rule, you must select a route point for the default
skillset. You can configure the other properties of the rule, including the skillset
used for routing the e-mail.
When you create a recipient mailbox, the system default rule is copied as the last
regular rule into list of rules for the recipient mailbox. The default rule ensures
that all contacts received by the mailbox are assigned a skillset.
CAUTION
The intention of the system default rule is to route all contacts that
do not match any other rules.
If you change the properties of the rule, you affect the behavior of
the System default rule, which affects all recipient mailboxes you
configure in the E-mail Manager.
If the skillset associated with a default rule is deleted, the default
skillset, EM_Default_Skillset is used as a substitute.
If the EM_Default_Skillset is deleted, the system stops processing
e-mail messages.
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 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.

If the Active server fails, see Chapter 9, “Changing the Active server,” for
information about switching the Standby server to the Active server.
In this chapter
Overview 974
Section A: Switching to Standby when Primary server fails 977
Section B: Switching to Standby for a planned change 995
Section C: Restoring CCMM servers to original configuration 1011
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.
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.
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.”

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.
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
You must inform all users who are connected to server B in your contact center
that they must disconnect from the Contact Center applications. Agents who are
using Contact Center Agent Desktop, and administrators who are using the
Outbound Campaign Management Tool or Multimedia Administrator must exit
all applications while you are returning the contact processing to Server A.
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.
You must stop all Multimedia services and then disable some of the Multimedia
services after all users are disconnected from the server.
ATTENTION
The Caché Controller, CCMM License Manager and CCMM
Starter services must remain enabled.
To back up the database and e-mail attachments, you must first start the CCMM
License Manager service and the CCMM Starter service. Then you must create a
destination for the backup, if you have not already.
For more information about backing up files, see Chapter 16, “Maintaining the
database.” It takes about 5 minutes to back up 1 GB of data from the Multimedia
database.
You must back up the current Multimedia database from Server B to a location
that is accessible from Server A.
If you are backing up e-mail attachments, you cannot backup your server on
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
9 In the Database box, review the file name for your backup file. To change
the file name, click Browse, and then select the desired file name.
IF THEN
you are backing up to a in the Database box, select the path to the tape
tape drive drive. A valid path to the tape drive is \\.\tapen,
where n is the number of the tape drive. (The
first tape installed on a system is, by default,
tape0.)
Note: You can use the alias tapedump1
instead of \\.\tape0.
10 Ensure that you clear the Do not backup E-mail Attachments check box.
11 In the E-mail Attachments Source Location box, ensure that the location
matches the e-mail attachment folders on your Primary server. Click
Browse to change the path of the e-mail attachment folders.

If the backup of the Multimedia database is successful, you see “Backup
complete” in the backup.txt log file. If the backup of e-mail attachments is
successful, you see the number of files copied.
If the Backup failed message appears in the backup.txt file, the Multimedia
database is not backed up. If this occurs, ensure the backup locations are
correct, and the network share or tape is available, has sufficient
permissions, and is not full.
If the 0 files copied message appears in the backup.txt file, the e-mail
attachments are not backed up. If this occurs, ensure the folders to be
backed up are correct, the backup locations are correct, and the network
share or tape is available, has sufficient permissions, and is not full.
14 Close the Multimedia Administrator application.
In your contact center, Server B was configured to run in standby mode and the
shadowing process was configured when the Standby server software was
installed on Server B. While Server B was running in active mode, the

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.”

The response can contain the e-mail address to which the customer sent the
original e-mail message, or a general corporate e-mail address that is configured
for each skillset.
Agent-initiated messages are always sent from an e-mail address associated with
a skillset.
Note: E-mail messages must be relayed through the e-mail server, not forwarded
to another party if managing e-mail messages on behalf of an external source.
Sending e-mail messages preserves the original To address which is used for e-
mail rule administration and outgoing e-mail addresses.
4 Select a skillset.
In the box, select the e-mail address for the outgoing e-mail. This e-
mail address must be defined as a mailbox on the E-mail Manager.

5 Click Close to close the Outgoing E-mail Configuration box.
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.
Select one of the following types of coding, as required for your system:
4 In the Encoding list, select the type of encoding you want to use.
5 To select the Latin 9 encoding for replies, select the Reply to Latin 1 as
Latin 9 check box.
Note: Nortel recommends that only contact centers in Europe use Latin 9
encoding.
6 Click Save.
7 Restart the CCMM Email Manager service by doing the following:
Configure rules
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.
Example 1:
A magazine advertises an investment strategy. Customers can learn more about
the investment by sending an e-mail with “Good Investing” in the subject line to
a specific address. A rule can be created to search incoming e-mail messages for
“Good Investing.” If the e-mail subject line contains “Good Investing,” then a
brochure is sent to the customer. No interaction from an agent is required.
Example 2:
An e-mail arrives at the contact center from the most important client of the
contact center. A rule can be created to route this client’s contacts to a skillset
assigned to a highly specialized agent.
Rule inputs
Multimedia rules are based on the recipient address or the To address when the
e-mail arrives in the contact center. Rules apply to a recipient mailbox.
You can also add keywords and sender addresses to the input to further refine the
rule.
Keyword groups—A collection of related words for which the system
searches within the subject or the body of an e-mail.
Sender address groups—The originating address of the e-mail, or From
address, when the e-mail arrives in the contact center.
Rule outputs
Each rule must have one output that is assigned to a skillset. You can also
configure a contact type or a priority for the contact that matches the rule. You
can optionally close the contact, or add an auto-response or out of office
message, to the rule.
For rules that you create, the rule with the most specific constraints appears
second, after the delivery failure rule, and the rule with the least specific
constraints appears immediately before the default rule, which is last.
You can configure the sequence of the rules by selecting a rule in the list and
using the up or down arrow to move the rule.
You can also enable and disable each rule by selecting a rule in the list and using
the check mark or cross to enable or disable the rule.
Note: The default delivery failure rule and the default rule are always enabled
and you can not disable them.
Reset—The rule is executed if the contact matches the requirements of the rule;
however, the rule was reset, because the skillset used in the rule was deleted in
Contact Center Manager Administration. The default skillset,
EM_Default_Skillset, is assigned to the rule, and unexpected routing can occur.
The rule is red in the list of rules to warn the administrator of a change in the rule
definition. The rule returns to black when you change or open the skillset.

Result: The Rule Configuration Wizard- Recipients window appears.
From the examples at the beginning of this section, we can consider the inputs
for each rule:
Examples:
The magazine example suggests that readers can send an e-mail with “Good
Investing” in the subject to the contact center to get more information about a
particular investment. Create a rule to search the subject of incoming e-mail
messages for “Good Investing.” You can send an auto-response and close the
contact by using keywords to determine if the subject of the incoming e-mail
message is “Good Investing.”
When an e-mail comes into the contact center, a rule checks to see if the
keywords “Good Investing” are in the e-mail subject. If a match is found, then
the rule is followed (if the rule is enabled). If the keywords are not in the e-mail,
the e-mail does not match the rule, and the remaining rules are checked.
In the second example, if an e-mail arrives at the contact center from a very
important client, you can create a rule to route this client’s contacts to a skillset
that is assigned to a highly specialized agent. You can assign a specialized
skillset to the important client by creating a sender group that includes this
client’s e-mail address.
When an e-mail comes into the contact center, the rule checks to see if the
sender address matches the very important client. If it does, then the rule is
followed (if the rule is enabled). If the sender address does not match the rule,
then the remaining rules are checked.
Keyword groups are optional; however, you can use up to three keyword groups
as input parameters for your rule.
b. Click New.
Result: The New Keyword Group window appears.
c. In the Name box, type a unique name for the keyword group (maximum
64 characters).
b. Click New.

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

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The backup utility backs up only the database and, if you choose, the e-mail
attachment folders. It does not back up log files or the server operating system. If
desired, you can back up the log files when you back up your Multimedia
database using a third-party utility.
Perform an immediate backup of the default database before you run Contact
Center Multimedia/Outbound.
On the network computer where you store the backup, you must do one of the
following:
ensure that your user account is in the same domain as the Contact Center
Multimedia server, or
create a new user that is in the same domain as the Contact Center
Multimedia server and log on as this new user
Start the backup utility to configure an immediate backup. For each backup file,
specify a location to overwrite the previous backup file. It takes about 5 minutes
to back up 1 GB of data.
Note: A log is kept of the progress of the file backup. Use the backup.txt file in
the CCMMLogs folder to review the log file.
Perform a backup now to ensure the backup process works before you schedule
a backup. When you back up your database, you must select a folder for the back
up. Ensure that you map the drive and create a subfolder before beginning your
backup.
ATTENTION
Do not stop the License Manager, the CCMM Starter
service, or the Caché Controller service.
6 Click Backup.
Result: The Backup CCMM Database window appears.
IF THEN
IF THEN
you are backing up to a In the Database box, select the path to the tape
tape drive drive. A valid path to the tape drive is \\.\tapen,
where n is the number of the tape drive. (The
first tape installed on a system is, by default,
tape0.)
Note: You can use the alias tapedump1
instead of \\.\tape0.
To indicate the backup completed successfully, you must see two lines in
the backup output.
If the Backup failed message appears in the backup.txt file, the Multimedia
database is not backed up. If this occurs, ensure the backup locations are
correct, and the network share or tape is available, has sufficient
permissions, and is not full.
If the 0 files copied message appears in the backup.txt file, the e-mail
attachments are not backed up. If this occurs, ensure the folders to be

You can schedule backups on a daily or weekly basis. Each scheduled backup is
saved to the same device and file. You can select either a network location or a
tape drive for backing up the database, and only a network location for backing
up the e-mail attachments.
You must configure specific permissions to access and create scheduled backups
of the Multimedia database.
Note: A log is kept of the progress of the file backup. Use the backupsched.txt

Overview 1232
Archiving the database 1233
Restoring the Multimedia database from an archive 1242
Recovering from a failed archive or restore 1246
Overview
If you require a copy of the previous data, you can use any archive or backup
file, or a combination of both.
Track the archive and backup files you create to know what data is in each
archive, and how it is organized.
The data from the Multimedia database is archived to tab-delimited text files that
can be viewed in third-party applications such as Microsoft Excel.
If the archiving is done infrequently, the archive files can be large, so an archive
schedule must reflect your contact center volume.
For example, if you know there is no more action expected for a particular
skillset, you can archive the contacts associated with that skillset.
When you archive data, you can also choose to archive the customer data with
the contact data. 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)
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.
1 On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > Nortel Contact Center
> Multimedia Server > CCMM Services Control.
Result: The CCMM Service Control window appears.
6 Click an option on the toolbar for your archive. You can choose from:
Archiving by Outbound Campaign
Archiving by E-mail Rule (See “Archiving by e-mail rule” on page 1238.)
Archiving by Skillset (See “Archiving by e-mail rule” on page 1238.)
A log file of the archive, ArchiveLogFile.txt, is stored in the archive folder you
choose.
1 On the Contact Center Archive & Restore Utility window, click
Archive\Restore Outbound Campaigns.
7 Under Archive Folder, browse to the folder where you want to store the
current archive. The folder location you choose for the archive must not
contain any other files.
8 Click Archive Now.
Result: A progress bar appears to report archive process to the user and a
message box indicates successful completion of the archive.
Attachment files for e-mail messages are archived in an attachment folder under
the folder selected for the archive. All data is archived to a single flat file named
ContactArchive.txt. A log file of the archive, ArchiveLogFile.txt, is stored in the
archive folder you choose.
1 On the Contact Center Archive & Restore Utility window, click
Archive\Restore E-mail Rule.
3 Under E-mail Rule list, navigate through the list of mailboxes and select the
rules that you want to archive.
4 Click the right arrow to move the selected rule to the list of items to archive.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the number of rules you want to archive.
6 Under Archive Contacts closed on or before, click the last date for which
you want to archive contacts.
7 To include customer data for the contacts with the selected items, select the
Archive Customer Data check box.
8 In the Archive Description or Comments box, type comments or
information about this archive.
9 Under Archive Folder, type or browse to the folder where you want to store
the current archive. The folder location you choose for the archive must not
contain any other files.
10 Click Archive Now.
Result: A progress bar appears to report archive process to the user and a
message box indicates successful completion of the archive.
Archiving by skillset
When you choose to archive by skillset, the archive date defaults to six months
prior to the selected date. When you archive data, you cannot select the current
date. Only closed contacts within your selected date range are archived.
All contact data is archived to a single flat file named ContactArchive.txt. A log
file of the archive, ArchiveLogFile.txt, is stored in the archive folder you choose.
You can restore your database from any selected archive. The flat files are added
to the database file.
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.
Restoring an archive
1 On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > Nortel Contact Center
> Multimedia Server > CCMM Administrator.
2 Type your user ID and password.
3 Expand Contact Center Multimedia/Outbound.

you want to restore the archive. The Restore Utility restores all data from
the folder that you choose.
Result: The restore details appear in the Contacts to Restore, Customer
Data Archived and Date of Archive, Date Contacts Archived Up To, and
Archive Description or Comments fields.
9 Click Restore Now.
Result: In order to prepare the data for restoring, all of the audit records
archived are loaded into the database from the archive location. This
activity takes time that results in a delay to show the progress bar that
denotes the commencement of the restoration. Do not close the Archive
utility during this time. The delay is proportional to the number of audit
records that were archived.
In the event that you experience a problem with the database or Contact Center
Multimedia server during an archive or restore, a message box appears.
If there has been a database or server crash, you must shut down the Archive
utility by clicking OK. When the Archive utility closes, a message box tells the
user how many contacts are outstanding. The archive or restore automatically
restarts.
You can only perform one restore or archive at one time. You must restart the
Archive utility to complete the restoration or archival before you perform
another.

Overview
This chapter describes the security considerations that you must use when you
install and configure your Contact Center Multimedia server.
For more information about applying the Nortel Contact Center Security
Template, see Nortel Contact Center 6.0 Security Templates User Guide on the
Partner Information Web site (www.nortel/pic).
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.
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.
Password guidelines
This section provides guidelines for selecting passwords for Contact Center
Multimedia server.
Password format
Write down any new passwords and store them in a secure place for future
reference. Passwords are case-sensitive.
Example
xyd45fst
Changing passwords
Change passwords at the following times:
during the initial system setup after the operating system is installed
at regular intervals for maximum security
if you experience trouble logging on to Windows
if the server software is reinstalled (the default accounts and passwords are
recreated, so passwords must be changed)
Note: If you require support from Nortel or your distributor, you must tell them
any new passwords.
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.
For more information about applying the Nortel Contact Center Security
Template, see Nortel Contact Center 6.0 Security Templates User Guide on the
Partner Information Web site (www.nortel/pic).

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.
In this chapter
Use the E-mail Manager Memory Management utility 1336
You can use the E-mail Manager Memory Utility to perform maintenance and
diagnostic tools on the Multimedia server.
If an error occurs, record the error message, the system configuration, and the
actions taken before and after the error occurred. If the problem persists, contact
your Nortel customer support representative.
You can use the E-mail Manager Memory Management utility to change the
amount of memory allocated to the E-mail Manager.
The mechanism by which inbound e-mail messages are processed requires that
every e-mail message is held in memory for a brief time while it is decoded and
processed. This places a limit on the maximum size of a given e-mail message
that the E-mail Manager can handle.
The E-mail Manager Memory Manager ensures that memory limits are not
exceeded. This section describes how the memory manager calculates these
limits, and how to determine the maximum size e-mail supported.
The approximate values for these variables, used when calculating how much
memory to reserve to process an e-mail message, are:
Encoding adjustment: 1.3 (this can vary slightly based on the encoding
used)
Memory adjustment: 1.2 (this factor decreases slightly, the larger the
e-mail is, but it has been left as a fixed value)
Buffer memory: 20 MB
Note: When the following subsections specify an attachment size, they 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.

Web Communications contacts 1379
Overview
This chapter contains diagrams showing the life cycle of the contacts in Contact
Center Multimedia.
Outbound contacts
1. The contact is loaded into the Database from the outbound campaign.
An administrator in your contact center creates an outbound campaign
using the Outbound Campaign Management Tool accessed in Contact
Center Manager Administration.
2. The notification that the outbound contacts that are part of the campaign are
received is passed to the Open Queue.
3. The outbound calls are created as objects in Open Queue.
The outbound script is applied, using information such as the skillset and
priority and contact type assigned to the outbound campaign. From the
script, it is determined which agent receives the contact.
4. The contact is passed to the Communication Control Toolkit to present the
contact to an agent.
5. The contact is presented to the agent in the Contact Center Agent Desktop.
Associated contact data, such as contact information is passed to the
Contact Center Agent Desktop along with the outbound call.
6. Customer details for the contact are received from the Multimedia database
through the Web services.
7. The outbound call is initiated on the agent’s desktop using the dialing
properties configured in the outbound campaign.
8. The outbound call is established between the agent and the customer.
9. Customer detail updates and additions to the contact history are stored in
Multimedia database.
10. While the agent and customer are on the call the agent can use the agent
script to enter information from the customer. The agent script is configured
in the outbound campaign.
11. When the agent is finished with the call, the agent chooses a disposition
code, and disconnects from the call to complete the contact.
The disposition code is logged in the reports and determines whether the
agent script is saved.
E-mail messages
1. The contact is loaded into the Database from the E-mail server.
You configure recipient mailboxes and a polling interval in the Contact
Center Multimedia Administrator tool (E-mail Manager). The E-mail
Manager checks the corresponding mailboxes on the e-mail server at the
specified polling interval. When new e-mail messages are found, they are
moved into the Multimedia database.
2. The notification that the e-mail contact is received is passed to the Open
Queue.
The E-mail Manager uses the regular default rules and your configured
rules to assign a skillset, and priority to the contact. Some rules also sent an
auto-response to the customer immediately, without interaction from the
agent.
3. The e-mail message is created as an object in Open Queue.
The e-mail script is applied, using information such as the skillset and
priority and contact type assigned to the e-mail message. From the script, it
is determined which agent receives the contact.
The contact information is also included in reports.
4. The contact is passed to the Communication Control Toolkit to present the
contact to an agent.
5. The contact is presented to the agent in the Contact Center Agent Desktop.
6. Associated contact data, such as the ID and contact information is passed to
the Contact Center Agent Desktop along with the e-mail message.
7. Customer details for the contact are received from the Multimedia database
through the Web services.
8. The agent replies are written to the Multimedia database through Web
Services. The E-mail Manager polls the database for outgoing e-mail
messages.
Information about what e-mail address is used for replies to customers is
configured in the Contact Center Multimedia Administrator E-mail
Manager configuration.
Customer detail updates, additions to the contact history, and contact ID
information are stored in Multimedia database.
9. The agent closes the e-mail contact by specifying a closed reason code, if
closed reason codes are configured in the Contact Center Multimedia
Administrator.
Alternately, the agent can postpone the contact, forward the contact to
another agent, or forward the contact to a person outside of the contact
center. The agent then is reassigned the contact to complete it later.
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.
4. The contact is presented to the agent in the Contact Center Agent Desktop.
To accept the contact, the agent clicks Accept. In the Agent Desktop, the
left pane shows the customer details and history of all past interaction. The
pane on the right shows the tools the agent can used for Web
communications.
5. Associated contact data, such as the ID and contact information is passed to
the Contact Center Agent Desktop along with the text from the customer.
6. Customer details for the contact are received from the Multimedia database
through the Web services.
7. The agent replies are written to the Multimedia database through Web
services. The Web Communications Manager polls the database for text
chat replies.
Customer detail updates, additions to the contact history, and contact ID
information are stored in Multimedia database.

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.
You can change the Contact Center Manager Server name if the new server
name meets the following requirements:
The name cannot be the same as any other computer or domain name in the
network.
The name must contain 6 to 15 characters (A through Z, 0 through 9).
The first character of the name must be alphabetical.
No other characters are allowed. For example, the name cannot include any
underscores (_).
Hyphens (-) are not permitted in the Contact Center Manager Server name.
After you change the Contact Center Manager Server name, you must update the
other servers in the Contact Center suite to ensure the servers work together.
To verify that the new IP address is up to date on the DNS, use the ping <server
name> DOS command with the new server name to confirm that the system
responds with the corresponding IP address.
3 Click OK.
Result: The utility compares the server name with the database server
name. If the names match, continue with step 5. If the names do not match,
the following message appears.
4 Click OK.
Result: The utility shuts down the Contact Center Manager Server services
and then synchronizes the server name with the database server name.
When the process is complete, the following message appears.
5 Click OK.
Result: The following dialog box appears.
6 Click OK.
7 Restart the server.
ATTENTION
Incorrectly modifying a host table can cause extensive
network problems. Before you modify host tables, review
the information about hosts in the supporting
documentation for Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
3 Update the file to reflect the new server name of the Contact Center
Manager Server.
If you do not see a server name for the Contact Center Manager Server
listed in the HOSTS file, a DNS server is configured in your network for
name resolution. You do not need to update the HOSTS file.
4 Click File > Save to save your changes.
Save the file without an extension so that your system recognizes the
changes.
Result: The system automatically reads the new settings.
5 Close all windows to complete the procedure.
ATTENTION
Incorrectly modifying a host table can cause extensive
network problems. Before you modify host tables, review
the information about hosts in the supporting
documentation for Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
4 Double-click CCT Server in the right pane of the NCCT 6.0 Console.
Result: The CCT Server Properties dialog box appears.
6 In the CCMS Server Name box, type the new name of the Contact Center
Manager Server.
7 Click Apply to save the Contact Management Framework settings.
8 Click OK to close the window.

You can change the Contact Center Manager Administration server name if the
new server name meets the following requirements:
The name cannot be the same as any other computer or domain name in the
network.
The name must contain 6 to 15 characters (A through Z, 0 through 9).
The first character of the name must be alphabetical.
No other characters are allowed. For example, the name cannot include any
underscores (_).
After you change the Contact Center Manager Administration Server name, you
must also update the other servers in the Contact Center suite to ensure the
servers work together. Complete the following tasks described in this section:
1. Change the Contact Center Manager Administration server name in
Windows.
2. If you have a Domain Name Service (DNS) server in your network, update
the DNS with the IP address of your Contact Center Manager Server.
3. If you have SU03 or earlier, run the ChangeSOAPSrv utility.
4. Reset the IUSR_SWC account to reflect a new server name.
5. Reset the iceAdmin password.
6. Ensure the new server name is updated for client PCs.
7. On the client PCs, update the browsers and shared folders for exporting
scheduled reports with the new Contact Center Manager Administration
server name.
8. On the Communication Control Toolkit server, update the HOSTS file.
9. On the Contact Center Multimedia server, update the HOSTS file and the
server settings.
To verify that the new IP address is up to date on the DNS, use the ping <server
name> DOS command with the new server name to confirm that the system
responds with the corresponding IP address.
After you change the server name, SOAP processes do not function properly
(because they still refer to the old server name), and you cannot work with the
components that require SOAP functionality, such as Configuration.
1 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, double-click the
Configuration component.
2 When you receive a pop-up message indicating that you must run the
ChangeSOAPSrv utility, note the path that appears in the message.
If you close the message, you can make it reappear by launching the same
Contact Center Manager Administration component again (for example,
Configuration).
3 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, open a command
prompt and navigate to the directory C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\Supportutil, where C is the drive on which
Contact Center Manager Administration is installed.
4 At the prompt, type the following text (which includes the path that appears
in the pop-up message):
ChangeSOAPSrv C:\Program Files\Nortel
Networks\WClient\Apps\Common\SOAP;<server name>
where <server name> is the name of the server, or the fully qualified
domain name, if this is what you use as the Contact Center Manager
Administration default URL (for example, <server name>.<domain
name>.com).
