Cisco CallManager Version 3.0

Transcription

1 Cisco CallManager Version 3.0 Product Overview Cisco CallManager is the software-based call-processing component of the Cisco IP telephony solution, part of Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data). The software extends enterprise telephony features and functions to packet telephony network devices such as IP phones, media processing devices, voice-over-ip (VoIP) gateways, and multimedia applications. Additional data, voice, and video services such as unified messaging, multimedia conferencing, collaborative contact centers, and interactive multimedia response systems interact with the IP telephony solution through Cisco CallManager s open telephony application programming interface (API). Cisco CallManager is installed on the Cisco Media (MCS). Key Features and Benefits The Cisco CallManager software product includes a suite of integrated voice applications that perform voice conferencing, manual attendant, bulk administration and simple billing and quality monitoring functions. Supplementary and enhanced services such as hold, transfer, forward, conference, multiple line appearances, automatic route selection, speed dial, lastnumber redial, and other features are extended to IP phones and gateways. Because it is a software application, enhancing its capabilities in production environments is a matter of upgrading software on the server platform, thereby avoiding expensive hardware upgrade costs. Further, Cisco CallManager and all phones, gateways, and applications may be distributed across an IP network, providing a distributed, virtual telephony network. The benefit of this architecture is improved system availability and scalability. Call admission control ensures that voice quality of service (QoS) is maintained across constricted WAN links, and automatically diverts calls to alternate Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) routes when WAN bandwidth is not available. Cisco CallManager is installed on the Cisco high-availability server platforms, the Media s (MCS). A Web-browsable interface to the configuration database is available for remote device and system configuration. HTML-based online help is available for users and administrators. Cisco CallManager Version 3.0(4) significantly enhances the scalability, distributability, and availability of the enterprise IP telephony solution. Multiple Cisco CallManager servers are clustered and managed as a single entity. The capability of clustering multiple call-processing servers on an IP network is unique in the industry and highlights the industry-leading architecture of Cisco AVVID. Scalability for up to 10,000 users per cluster is provided. By interlinking multiple clusters, system capacity can be increased to up to tens of thousands of users per multisite system. Clustering aggregates the power of multiple, distributed Cisco CallManagers, enhancing the scalability and accessibility of the servers to phones, gateways, and applications. Triple server redundancy improves overall system availability. TAPI and JTAPI interfaces allow a rich set of Cisco and third-party vendor IP-enabled voice applications to augment base system capabilities. Version 3.0 capabilities include toll restriction by user group, database configuration changes without system restart, and system serviceability enhancements. The administrative user interface has been substantially altered to reduce administrative burden when managing a large network of devices and users. Users benefit from the new call pickup-group feature as well as from the support of the first of a new generation of Cisco IP phones, the Cisco IP Phone models 7960, 7910 and Finally, Cisco software-only voice and multimedia applications such as the Cisco Low-End Interactive Voice Response system, Cisco IP Contact Center, Cisco Automated Attendant, and Cisco SoftPhone are applications that interact with the Cisco CallManager through telephony APIs are available. These applications extend its capability and expand the applications space within Cisco AVVID. The benefit to the customer is distributed, next generation applications which can interact with e-business applications.
