20 Express: Voice Call Flow 1. Call delivered from PSTN to voice gateway 2. MGCP, H.323 or SIP call arrival sent to Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CCM) on DN/CTI RP 3. CCM sends CTI Route Point request sent to Contact Center Express via JTAPI 4. Contact Center Express script runs, accepts contact and instructs CCM to send the media to Express 5. Contact Center Express script continues and selects resource for the call if none available, queues call in IVR (MOH/announcement) until an agent becomes available 6. Contact Center Express sends call data to available/selected agent screen and instructs CCM to transfer the call to the agent phone (SCCP or SIP) 7. Call is answered by agent Reference Slide 20

22 Contact Center Express Deployment Models: Single Site Centralized Call Processing Characteristics: All calls come into the site on a local voice gateway and stay within the site Up to 300 Contact Center Express agents per server Can have more configured per Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster, but they will act as individual call centers Contact Center Express server can be pointed to two different Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers for redundancy and (4.0x/5.0x) have a second Express server for Hot Standby redundancy (4.5x does not support Hot Standby) PSTN IP Voice TDM Voice Call Control and CTI Data 22

23 Contact Center Express Deployment Models: Multi-site Centralized Call Processing Characteristics: Calls come into the sites on local voice gateways but must terminate at the centralized Contact Center Express server for treatment/queuing Up to 300 agents per on the single (or redundant) Express Servers Contact Center Express server can be pointed to two different Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers for redundancy and (4.0x/5.0x) have a second server for Hot Standby redundancy (4.5x does not support Hot Standby) Cisco Unified Communications Manager locations-based CAC is used across the WAN sites PSTN WAN IP Voice TDM Voice Call Control and CTI Data 23

24 Contact Center Express Deployment Models: Cluster over WAN Characteristics: Designed for redundancy of Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster split across WAN with a single image and dial plan One Contact Center Express server homed to one side of the Cisco Unified CallManager cluster, does not fail over across the WAN (no remote JTAPI/Not allowed to be split across the WAN) Calls can come in at either side of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster but are treated at the central Contact Center Express site Up to 300 agents per Express Server WAN PSTN IP Voice TDM Voice Call Control and CTI Data 24

25 Contact Center Express Additional Design Considerations: The Express Server and Communications Manager must be local JTAPI / AXL Supervisors can silent monitor agents using the CAD Desktop Monitoring feature, which sends the call as data to the Supervisor s PC speakers Monitor Data When calculating bandwidth for agents at remote sites, the voice call and the CTI/CAD traffic must be calculated as well All media terminates on the Express server for inbound calls, make sure the design accounts for inbound calls that will have to cross the WAN to get initial caller treatment before connecting to an agent WAN PSTN 25

26 Contact Center Express Additional Design Considerations: As part of the Express 5.0 release, the CRS CTI Protocol has been opened for partner and customer development The Protocol is known as GED-188/ACMI which provides call/agent events and configuration updates from CRS to any external application Example applications include 3 rd party recording vendors who request an all agent/call begin Bridge Mode feed to monitor all agents for begin call events To gain access to the spec, developers must join the Cisco Technology Developer Partner (CTDP) program: r46/tdp/index.html This interface is not supported by TAC only the CTDP GED-188/ACMI 3 rd Party CTI App 26
