Section 2 SV8100 Integration
SV8100 Integration • TAPI Interface • Call Control/Monitoring • Queuing/Call Routing • Virtual Extensions • UCB based Calls are Queued/Routed on Virtual Extensions • SIP Interface • SIP Extensions controlled by UCB Server • Voicemail Ports • Queue Announce
TAPI SV8100 Integration • 3rd Party TAPI • Provides Call Control/Monitoring of Telephony Devices • SV8100 3rd Party TAPI Driver installed onto UCB Server • TSP Driver included on UCB drive • Installed as pre-requisite to installing UCB Server • UCB Server communicates via TAPI • SV8100PBX Server process is responsible for this processof control and monitoring • UCB Server additionally makes TAPI Phone based function calls to provide Function key interaction with UCB • TSP driver is deployed in multiline mode (UCB only) • Voicemail/Agent Login/Break keys may be assigned to Terminals
SIP SV8100 Integration • 3rd Party SIP • Used for UCB Voicemail and Queue Announce • Aculab • Prerequisite middleware deployed onto UCB Server • Aculab provides RTP API to UCB Server • UCB Server: • Several server processes within UCB used for managing SIP extensions and SIP Call flow: • SV8100PBX Process • SIP Process • AnnouncePort Process
TAPI/SIP Interface TCP Port 8181 TSP Socket UDP Port 5070 SV8100 IPLA Interface SIP Signalling UCB Server UDP Port 10020 onwards SIP RTP
UCB Queuing Functionality • Queue Pilot • Callers dial a Pilot Number which is forwarded to a Department Group controlled by the UCB application. • The Pilot number is used to determine the Call nature based on the initial dialled/routed number. • A separate Pilot Number is created for each Queue. • The Pilot number is associated as a Virtual Extension on the SV8100.
UCB Queuing Functionality • Queue Pilots • Default • Voicemail • Hold (See next slide) • User Defined • Console Queue(s) • ACD Queue(s) • Hold/Park Pilot • Adopted from UCB on other NEC Platforms • Arbitrary Value for SV8100 • System Park Hold used on SV8100
UCB Queuing Functionality • Department Group Queuing • All Queue Pilots are forwarded to a Single Department Group on the SV8100 • Contains Flexible number of Virtual Extensions referred under UCB as Virtual Route Points
UCB Queuing Example 5601-5608 • Queue Extensions • Voicemail, Operator, ACD, etc • Forwarded to STG Group • STG Group • Unused Group (i.e. 60) • Pilot 600 • Virtual Route Points • 8 Ports used for Virtual Route Points • Assigned to STG Group (i.e. 60)
UCB Queuing Functionality • SIP Soft Ports • SIP Soft Ports are assigned to the UCB Server • SIP Soft Ports provide an RTP/Speech path between the UCB Server and SV8100 • SIP Soft Ports are used when a call is destined for Voicemail and/or Queue Announcement
UCB Voicemail Call Flow Example 5601-5608 A call is destined for Voicemail User dials 5555 or DDI pointed to 5555 The call is initially offered on Ext 5601 or the next available Virtual Route Point UCB determines the call is for Voicemail based on dialled number 5555 UCB performs a Call Pickup from Ext 5601 or an available SIP Soft Port on the Offering Virtual Route Point. The Voicemail Greeting is played and the call completed on the SIP Soft Port freeing up the Virtual Route Point Ext.
UCB Queuing Functionality • Configuration and Sizing • Always use UCB SIP Port estimator for guidance on sizing • The number of SIP Soft Ports are determined by the number of Licenses. • Licenses are explained in detail later. • A SIP Port is utilised when either a Voicemail port is used or a Queue Announcement is made (i.e. Auto Attendant/Queue Announcement). • The Virtual Route Point Extension is used as the initial Offering point for any type of UCB call • Call Load and Frequency will ultimately determine the number of Virtual Route Point Extensions required. • 8 ports are recommended by NEC/Zeacom.
Service Codes • SV8100 service codes utilised by UCB • Individual Codes used by UCB • Park • Unpark • Pickup • Forward All • Monitor Conversation • Identical Service Codes required between UCB and SV8100 • Service Codes are defined during Installation/Configuration • Codes can also be verified under UCB Administrator (System Setup)
Function Keys • Application Keys can be assigned to NEC Terminals to interact with UCB Application • Login/Wrapup/Presence, etc • Application Keys are added to Terminals via SV8100 PC Programming • Keys are then assigned to Application Keys inside UCB Administrator Note: Certain caution should be taken when assigning keys as a Primary function. Keys should be considered as a backup/tertiary function.
Function Key Example • PC Programming configuration • Available under Wizards (Applications/UCB/UCB 5.1/UCB Extension Settings/UCB Function Keys) • A Function key is assigned as ‘76-Application Key’ • The Additional Data field i.e. 1 becomes the assigned key within UCB Administrator • The Name field is assigned to DESI-less Terminals
UCB Function Key Assignment • UCB Keys are assigned using UCB Administrator • System Setup/PBX/NEC SV8100/Dterm Keys • Various Key functions are available for Phone, Voice Messaging, Contact Centre features, etc. Some examples include. • Mailbox Access, Record Conversation • Login, Break, Wrapup • Keys are changeable on the fly • Keys rely on sv8100pbx and pabx features process • As pre previous PBX Programming example • Login key would be associated to key 1 of Ext 200 and Ext 201 • Break key would be associated to key 2 of Ext 200 and Ext 201
