CHAPTER 1: EXCHANGE CALL CENTER OVERVIEW

This chapter describes the components of the 3Com eXchange Call Center as it runs on the
3Com NBX IP Telephony System.

Installation Kit

The installation pack includes the following:

 eXchange Server Lock Device (one USB “dongle”)

 eXchange Visor Lock Devices (one parallel port “dongle” per licensed eXchange Visor

workstation)

3Com recommends that you or your Voice-Authorized Reseller check the 3Com
Partner Access Web site for information about new eXchange Call Center software
versions and latest updates.

Lock Devices (Dongles)

The eXchange software is controlled by two types of lock devices that are enabled by
licenses.

 Before you install the eXchange Server software, you must attach the USB server dongle

to the USB port on the eXchange Server. The Server dongle is used to store the license
details, for example, the quota of inbound agents and TAPI WAV ports.

 Before you install the eXchange Visor software, you must attach the parallel port dongle

to the eXchange Visor workstation. You may purchase additional Visor dongles for
additional supervisor workstations.

No dongle is required for eXchange Agent workstations. Licenses for agents reside on the
server and its dongle.

13 On the Network tab, follow the instructions on the screen for “Connect” and “Test,” and

then click Next.

14 On the “NBX Wave Driver” tab, follow the instructions for “Detect.” The wizard shows you

the number of available WAV PHONES (IVR ports). Click Next.

15 On the “NBX Wave Phones” tab, follow the instructions for discovering the wave phones.

Wait until the system discovers all specified wave phones.

16 At this point, log in to the NBX NetSet utility. Select Tab to It > Telephones to see the

new WAV phones. Record the WAV phone information for future use. To exit the GUI
program, click OK.

17 In the Call Center control panel (Start>Settings>Control Panel), select Phones and

modem options, and then the Advanced tab.

18 In the list of providers, double click the “NBX TAPI Service Provider.” The window that

opens contains only one extension. You must enter all of the extensions that you want to
use for the Call Center agents and the WAV phones that you just discovered. Use the
shortcut <shift>ADD to add a range of numbers. For example, telephone 1000 is already
defined, and you want to add 1001 through 1007.

Settings on the NBX System

On the NBX system, create TAPI Route Points for Call Center use. The members of the
route points are WAV PHONES. The NBX does not limit the number of WAV PHONES that
may be assigned to a route point.

Follow these procedures to create and configure each route point:

1 In the NBX NetSet administration utility, select User Configuration > TAPI Route

Points. A list of existing route points, if any, appears. To use an existing group, select it

and click Modify. To add a new group, click Add. The TAPI Route Point Definition screen
opens.

and one for Support, create one route point for each.

a) For each of these route points, select Assign Automatically, Default Route Point
Group, the preferred Call Coverage point, and the Timeout (Default = 120 seconds).

b) Specify a unique, 4-to-10-digit password. You must add a password for each Route
Point. The eXchange Call Center will not redirect calls to a Route Point that has no
password.

c) Click Apply.

4 Also add one Route Point for each of these processes for system testing:

 login

 logout

 release

 resume

 One for each 800 number in the Call Center (1 for Sales, another for Support, and so

on)

5 When you have added the last Route Point, click Apply and then OK.

6 You have completed the eXchange Server computer setup. Reboot the server for

8 The Installation procedure is now running, the files are being copied into the appropriate

directories, and a progress bar will show the status.

9 Once all files have been copied, the eXchange Agent Shortcut Folder opens, displaying

the eXchange Agent Application icon. The installation process places this folder on the
Agent’s Windows Start Menu and on the Desktop.

Setting Up the eXchange Agent Application

Perform this operation once on each eXchange Agent’s station to set up the Phone
Extension and the mapped drive:

1 To start the eXchange Agent application: Double-click the eXchange Agent icon. At the

prompt, enter the extension number and Server address.

 The extension number is the directory number of the phone used by this eXchange

Agent station.

 The Server address is the letter of the network mapped drive that points to Agents on

the eXchange Server computer. This choice should appear in the drop-down list in
the Server address field.

Enter the appropriate information and click Continue.

2 A Dialog window asks for the Agent’s Login ID and Password. Click Cancel to ignore the

logon process because no agents have yet been defined.

CHAPTER 6: BASIC CONFIGURATION AND TESTING

This chapter contains instructions that will lead you through the process of defining basic
items in the Call Center installation and running basic tests on the newly installed system.

Activating the eXchange Server

Locate the Contact Center program group on your desktop or in Start>Programs. Click the
Activate icon. The screen is active for a few minutes. Watch the Activate window and look

for the message: “SUPERVISOR: the system has been started!” This line appears after a
few minutes during which the server components are activated.

Logging In to the eXchange Administration Application

Double-click the Administration Icon. The application prompts you for a Login name and
password. Use “ea” and “e1996”, respectively. This built-in supervisor name has the highest
access level.

Defining Agents

Define a few agents using existing agents’ positions.

Defining Groups

Define two groups and assign the defined agents to these groups (1 to 2 agents per group).
Verify that the group numbers are different from any other dial number on the NBX system
(extension, trunk, and so on).

Defining Services

1 Define two services and assign each of the defined groups to one of the services.

2 On the “Details” tab, assign a music source. Use the “Sample Music” file provided with

the system if you have no other prepared music file.

3 On the “Destination” tab, choose one of the groups.

4 On the “Announcers” tab, assign announcers to the services. Use the sample

announcers provided with the system if you have no prepared announcement recordings.
