BCMS Description and Applic ations
Overview
In order to monitor the operations of an ACD application, which automatical ly`
distributes incoming calls to one or more groups of agents, AT&T offers the Call
Management S y stem (CMS ) software. T he CMS collects dat a r egarding the calls
on the switch and organizes the data into reports that help you manage ACD
facilities and personnel. These reports may be displayed on a video d isplay
terminal in real time, printed immediately, or scheduled for printing at a later time.
2
AT&T offers two types of CMS: External CMS and BCMS. Although both of these
options perform the same tasks, they are configured differently and have
different capacities. Th is chapter presents the capacities f o r B C MS G3vs, BCM S
G3s, BCMS G3i, and BCMS G3r.
In the External CMS arrangement, the CMS software resides in a computer
(usually referred to as an ‘‘adjunct’’) that is connected to the syst em via a data
link. In the BCMS arra ngement, the CMS software resides within the system. A
third arrangement exists in which both BCMS and External CMS report on a hunt
group. For R2 CMS, if external CMS or ‘‘BOTH’’ is requested, measured hunt
groups must begin with hunt group 1 and be consecutively assigned.
BCMS Reports
The BCMS fe ature provides the fol lowing reports:
1. Monitor Reports, which are real-time reports that present data on:
■All splits, on a system basis, that have been administered for
internal measurements
Issue 4 September 19952-1
BCMS Description and Applications
■Individual splits that have been administered for internal or both
measurements
■VDNs that are bein g measured by BCMS.
2. List Reports, which provide historical information and can be printed
immediately or scheduled for subsequent printing. These reports present
data on:
■Individual agents or a group of agents, based on the time of day
■Individual agents or a group of agents, based on the day of the
week
■Individual splits or a group of splits, based on the time of day
■Individual splits or a group of splits, based on the day of the week
■Individual trunk groups or a group of trunk groups, based on the
time of day
■Individual trunk groups or a group of trunk groups, based on the
day of the week
■Individual Vector Directory Numbers (VDNs) based on the time of
day
■Individual VDNs based on the day of the week
The examples of reports throughout this manual illustrate BCMS reports as they
appear in G3V4. If you have an earlier version of the switch, your reports may
differ from the examples.
NOTE:
Agents can be measured b y their physical extension (that is, the phone
extension they use), or they can be measured by their Login IDs when
either EAS or BCMS/VuStats Login IDs is optioned.

Feature Capacity Limits (Maximums)
The BCMS feature is designed to support ACD applications with requirements
that do not exceed the capac ity limits contained in Table 2-1.

* Stands for PBP/ABP capacities.
NOTE:
In G3V3 and later releases, an agent can log into a maximum of four
measured splits at any one time.
The important point regarding these capacity limits is that the system will only
make internal measurements for parameters that are within these limits. If you
want to measure one or more ACD parameters that exceed the BCMS capacity
limits, you must use External CMS.
BCMS reports may be accessed fr o m a G 3 M an agem ent Terminal or on a dial-up
basis. When dial-up access is used, two constraints can affect the number of
terminals that can access BCMS data simultaneously:
■The number of dial-up (Netcon) channels. The system provides f o ur
Netcon channels.
■The number of Terminal User IDs (TUIs). A TUI is a switch resource used
by:
— A T&T T echnical Service Center (TSC) when logged in

BCMS Description and Applications
NOTE:
— The G3 Management Terminal when powered up
— A rem ote Management Terminal when logged in
— A BCMS terminal when logged in
— The system printer while printing
BCMS data is stored in volatile switch me mory; it cannot be saved to or
retrieved from tape. The switch preserves historical data if a Reset System
1, Reset System 2, or Reset System Interchange (i n a du p licated system)
occurs. Real-time data is preserved if a Reset System 1 or Reset System
Interchange occurs.
The switch loses all data (historical and real-time) during software
upgrades.
Hardware Configuration
Th e B C MS reports may be displaye d via t he G 3 M anagemen t Terminal or printed
on its associated printer. As a result, the BCMS feature does not require any new
or additional hardware. As an option, the BCMS reports may be scheduled via
the Report Schedu le r an d directed to its associated printer. The Report
Scheduler option i s preferred over the Management Terminal and its associated
slave printer. Scheduled reports cannot be sent to a CRT or associated slave
printer. Figure 2-1 shows a sample ACD/BCMS equipment configuration,
including arrangements for connecting the optional printer(s).

BCMS Description and Applications
NOTE:
for using the Feature-Related System Parameters for to set up the Report
Scheduler are covered in Chapter 5, "System Printer and Report Scheduler".
Th e R eport Scheduler should not be confused with and does not replace the
journal, Call Detail Records (CDR), or Property Manageme nt System (P MS)
dedicated printers. Consisting of virtually any asynchronous printer, the Report
Scheduler is intended to print all DEFINITY Generic 3 reports and the output of
virtually all list, display, and test commands. As an option, a personal computer
(PC) or host computer may be used to store the reports and provide additional
data manipulation capabilities. AT&T does not provide PC software for this
application.
The BCMS software resides completely on the switch and does not include
any special software or unique communications protocol for the PC/host
computer application. Although AT&T does propose the use of a PC to
collect, store, and p rint the reports, AT&T does not recommend an
applications software package for the PC. Since AT&T does not install,
administer, or control the PC application, AT&T does not guarantee correct
operation of this arrangement. Customers using a PC to collect report data
will need the following report output information for each report:
1. Begin with one-half page of line feeds.
2. Print a four-line banner containing th e following information:
■Print job ID
■Command
■Time of day
■User
3. Provide a form feed.
4. Begin report data using 80 characters p er line. Use spaces where there
are no data, and a newline character at the end of each line.
5. Provide a form feed after each page of data. (The page length is defined
in system parameters.)
6. Provide a form feed when the report is finished printing.
BCMS Applications
You can use the BCMS feature to support tho se service applications that use the
ACD f ea t ur e. The primary service applications that use the ACD feature are calls
and customer servic e centers.
2-6Issue 4 S eptember 1995
BCMS Applications
Determining the proper size for the ACD trunk groups and the number of agents
that should b e assigned to each split requires knowledge of the incoming call
volume with respect to the following factors:
■Each type of service provided
■Time of day
■Day of the week
■Skill level of the agent
Generally, ACD applications are not preplanned because the types of traffic
information that would be required are unavailable. Initially, ACD applications are
engineered based on an estimated calling volume. Subsequently, the BCMS
reports allow you to manage the hourly and/or daily operations of the ACD by:
■Monitoring trunk group usage
■Monitoring the calling volume for each split
■Monitoring VDNs
■Monitoring the work load of each agent
■Comparing agents’ performances
Chapter 4, "BCMS Report Generation" describes each BCMS report in detail
while Chapter 6, "Use of B CMS R eports for ACD Planning" describes ho w t o plan
and maintain an ACD based on the information provided by these reports.
NOTE:
Most BCMS measurement data is collec t ed a t the end of a call, whereas
hunt group measurements count calls as soon as they begin. Therefore,
calls spanning across a time interval boundary will be co unted differentl y
by the two. If comparing the measurements from BCMS with those from the
hunt groups, there may be slight differences. However, both hunt group
and BCMS measurements should indicate the same trends.
Interactions With External CMS
From the administration perspective, the ACD parameters associated with trunks
groups, hunt groups, and VDNs are any of the following:
■Not measured
■Internally measured by BCMS
■Externally measured by External CMS
■Measured both internally and externally
Note that using BCMS in conjunction with External CMS increases the maximum
number of agents and trunk groups that can be measured for a particular ACD

BCMS Description and Applications
application. In other words, the capacities shown for BCMS are additive to those
of External CMS.
NOTE:
If both BCMS and External CMS are used simultaneously, switch
performance may be degraded.
Interactions with VuStats
G3V3 and later releases provide the VuStats feature, which enables agents and
supervisors with display terminal to view data about agents, splits, and VDNs.
Much of this information is the same as that provided by BCMS and external
CMS. Refer to the VuStats section in the

System Access
Logging In and Logging Off
BCMS p rovides one login ID and supports a maximum of five G3 Management
Terminals logged in simultaneously. (A BCMS terminal is considered to be a
remote Management Terminal. You can access BCMS reports either from a
Management Terminal (local) or on a dial-up (remote) basis. When dial-up
access is used, the following two constraints affect the number of terminals that
can access BCMS data simultaneously:
3
■The number of dial-up (Netcon) channels. The system provides four
Netcon channels.
■The number of Terminal User IDs (TUIs). A TUI is a switch resource used
by:
— TSC when logged in
— the Management Terminal when powered up
— a remote Management Terminal when logged in
— a BCMS terminal when logged in
— the system p rinter while printing
When the switch is configured with more than one Management Terminal, you
may use one of the following terminals to access the BCMS feature:
■4410
■4425
■513
■610
■615
Issue 4 September 19953-1
System Access
Typically, one terminal i s dedic a ted to the administration and/or maintenance
tasks, while the others are used for the ACD/BCMS features.
BCMS Login
The switch provides several different categories of login names. The login name
identifies the user and his or her permitted capabilities to the system. Generally,
each category permits unique capabilities (and restrictions). The BCMS login
allows you to display, print, and schedule BCMS reports. The BCMS login is
simply bcms, and the password is bcmspw. Since more than one user will
typically log into the system with this same login, all the users must know the
password.
Logging In

NOTE:
A BCMS terminal is considered to be a remote Management Terminal.
There are two types of terminal configurations for logging into BCMS: a remote
terminal and a local terminal. Although both configurations use the same types of
terminals, the remote terminal requires a data module for dialing up the system.

How to Change the BC MS Password
To maintain the security of the system, the System Manager (or any user with
special privileges) can change the password asso ciated with the BCMS login.
The BCMS login cannot be administered and does not change. Only the
passwo rd for the BCMS login can change.
NOTE:
The BCMS login does not have the privilege to change the BCMS
password.
The password should be changed:
■When the system is installed (change the password from the default
bcmspw)
■Each time a new person takes over the associated login name
■If an unauthorized person has discovered the password
Once the password is assigned, keep the followi n g t hings in mind:
■Do not give the password to anyone

BCMS Report Generation
Overview
This chapter helps you understand the Acceptable Service Level and the
Percent Within Service Level, and it provid e s inf ormati on on generating BCMS
reports. It also provides descriptions of each of the reports.

Acceptable Service Level
Before using BCMS, you must understand the concept of Acceptable S e rvice
Level and then set the acceptable service level field on various forms.
Acceptable Service Level is the desired time to answer for a given VDN or hunt
group. Timing for a call begins when the call encounters a VDN or enters a hunt
group queue. If the number of seconds to an swer the call is equal to or less than
the administered a cceptable service level for the VDN or hunt group, the call is
recorded as acc eptable.
Percent within Service Level
A service level can be administered for each hunt group or VDN, if t he customer
option has been set to
The service level is the amount of time (number of seconds) all owed t he switch to
answer calls.
To calcul ate the perc entage of calls within the acceptable service level, BCMS
divides the number of acceptable calls by the calls offered.

For hunt groups, BCMS calculates the Percent Within Service Level as follows:

Real-Time Reports
BCMS provides three real-time reports:

■BCMS System Status Report
■BCMS VDN Status Report
The BCMS Split Status Report provides the current (real-time) status and
cumulative measurement data for thos e agents ass igned to the split you specify.
The BCMS System Status Report provides current (real-time) status information
for either all BCMS splits or selected splits. The BCMS VDN S tatus Report
provides the current (real-time) status and cumulative measurement data for
VDNs monitored by BCMS.
You may gener ate t hese reports using the monitor command, which is discussed
below.

Monitor Command
The monitor command is used to display real-time status reports for splits and
split agents. These reports display data accrued since the last inte rv al boundary.
The time intervals may be in one-hour or half-hour increments. (To select the
desired increment, ac ce ss the F eature-Related System Parameters screen and
enter hour or half-hour in the Measurement Interval field. Consult Chapter 6,
"Use of BCMS Reports for ACD Planning" for more information.)
There are three monitor commands, one to print each real-time report:
■bcms split
■bcms system
■bcms vdn
The bcms split command generates the BCMS Split Status Report. The bcms
system command generates the BCMS System Status Report. The bcms vdn
command generates the BCMS VDN Status Report.

NOTE:
With BCMS, splits do not have to be numbered from 1, and split numbers
do not have to be c o nsecutive.
Split Name — Th e admin istered name of the split. This name usually describes
the purpose or service of the split (for example, sales, service, or help line). If no
name exists, BCMS displays the split extension (for example, EXT 65222).
T he split name is limited to a maximum of 11 characters. If you enter more
than 11 characters, the additiona l char a cters are not printed on the System
Printer.
Calls Waiting — The number of calls currently queued and calls ringing at an
agent’s phone. If any of the calls in the queue are Direct Agent calls, an asterisk
appears before the value in this field. The Glossary describes the Direct Agent
feature.
Oldest Call — The number of minutes and seconds that the oldest call in queue
has been waiting to be answered. This includes calls ringing at an agent’s
phone.
Acceptable Service Level — The desir ed tim e to answer for a given hunt group
or VDN. Timing for a call begins when the call enters the hunt group queue.
% Within Service Level — The percentage of calls answered within th e
administered service level. This field is blank if no calls have been recorded for
this time interval or if there is no
Hunt Group form.
Staffed — The num ber of agents currently logged into the split.
Avail — The number of agents in this split c urrentl y available to receive an ACD
call. In order to b e counted as being available, agents must either be in the
Auto-In or Manual-In work mode. Refer to the Glossary for a description of work
modes. If the agent is on another split’s call or is performing After Call Work for
another split, the agent is not considered available and is not recorded here. If a
call is ringing at the agent’s phone or a call is on hold, the agent is not
considered available unless Multiple Call Handling is active and the agent
selects AI/MI with a call on hold.
ACD — Th e n umber of agents who are currently on an ACD call for this split. This
value also includes Direct Agent calls and those agents who are currently on
ACD calls that flowed in from another split.
ACW — The number of agents in this split who are currently in ACW mode for
this split. Refer to the G los sary for a description of A fte r Ca ll Work (ACW) mode. If
an agent is in ACW mode for another split, the agent is included in the Other

agent appears in the Extn state count, and not in the ACW state.
AUX — The number of agents in this split who are currently in the AUX work
mode for this split. If an agent is answering a call from another split or is in ACW
work mode for another split, that agent is not considered in AUX work mode for
this split and is not included in this number. The agent is included in th e Other
state count.
Extn — The number of agents in this split who are currently on non-ACD calls.
These non-ACD calls may be either incoming (direct to the extension) or
outgoing (direct from the extension). Those agents receiving or making extension
calls while in Avail, ACW, or AUX work mode is recorded as being on extension
calls.
Other — The number of agents in this split who:
■Are on a call from another split
■Are in AC W work mode for another split
■Have placed a call on HOLD and made no other state selections
■Have a call ringing at their voice terminals
■Are dialing a number (to place a call or activate a feature)
All of the agents in the Other state are unavailable for ACD calls .
AGENT NAME — The name of the agent. Generally, this is the agent’s first or last
name. However, if no name is administered on the station form, this field is left
blank. When the field is blank, the data can be identified by th e extension.
LOGIN ID — The BCMS login ID(s) (taken from the BCMS Login ID f orm or EAS
Login form) for which you requested the report. This column does not appear if
BCMS logins are not optioned.
EXT — The 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-digit extension number for the agent.
STATE — The current work state for the agent. Possible work states are Avail,
ACD, ACW, AUX, Extn, and Other. (The sum of the time the agent spends in the
possible work states is the agent’s
staffed
time.) Unstaffed agents do not appear
on the report. When the system t ime is changed, agents are in the INIT state.
Each agent remains in the INIT state until he or she takes a call or pushes a work
button.
NOTE:
Refer to the Glossary for a description of the term
work state.
TIME — The 24-hour clock time that the agent entered this work state.

Displaying the BCMS System Status Report
BCMS allows you to generate a BCMS System Status Report on all the BCMS
splits or selected BCMS splits. To generate a report on all the BCMS splits, enter
the monitor bcms system command. The report produced by this command
presents information on all BCMS splits that had agents staffed when you
entered the command. To generate a report on selected BCMS splits, you must
include t he split number(s) or split ranges at the end of the command. For
example, if y ou wanted to generate a BCMS S y stem Status Report on split 4, you
would enter: monitor bcms system 4. If you wanted to generate a BCMS
System Status Report on splits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, you would enter: monitor bcms system 1-5. BCMS also allows you to specify a range of splits and individual
splits in a command. For example, if you have 8 splits (numbered 1 through 8)
and wanted to generate a BCMS Sy stem St atus Report on splits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and
8, you would enter: monitor bcms system 1-4 6 8.

Historical Reports
BCMS provides eight historical reports. These reports give you information for an
interval of time. You can print the reports for a period time measured in minutes
or hours, or a period of time measured in days. The BCMS historical reports are:
■Agent Report
■Agent Summary Report
■Split and Skill Report
■Split and Skill Summary Report
■Trunk Group Report
■Trunk Group Summary Report
■V DN Report
■VD N Su mmary Report
You are able to print the historical reports using the list commands, which are
discussed below.
List Commands
The list commands are used to display historical information for agents, splits,
system, trunk groups, and VDNs. There are eight secondary list commands:
■bcms agent
■bcms summary agent
■bcms split
■bcms summary split
■bcms trunk
■bcms summary trunk
■bcms vdn
■bcms summary vdn
With these comman ds, y ou can specify:
■Whether you want the data in the reports to be displayed in
■The times or days for which you wish to see data
■The system to immediately display the report on your terminal
■The system to print the report. If you include print at the end of the
hourly/half-hourly or da i ly intervals
comman d , the system will immediately print the report to a slaved printer.
If you include schedule at the end of the command, the system will allow

NOTE:
NOTE:
you to schedule the report to print to the system printer immediately
(immediate), at a later time (deferred), or routinely at specified times
(scheduled).
Time interval data may be c ollected in half-hour or one-hour increments.
(To select the desired increment, access the Feature-Related System
Parameters screen and enter half-hour or hour in the Measurement
Interval: field. Consult Chapter 6, "Use of BCMS Reports for ACD Planning"
for more information.) The switch stores time interval data in a time
database which holds a maximum of 25 intervals. Data for the 26th interval
overwrites the first interval in the time database (and so on). Therefore, if
the half-hour option is selected, care should be exercised to ensure that
time interval reports are run while the data for the desired interval is still
available in the time database. For example, if you select the half-hour
option, print the report twice daily to ensure that you do not lose
information.
BCMS Agent Report
The BCMS Agent Report provides traffic information for the specified agent.
Depending on specifics from the command line, the information may be
time
nor
day
displayed as either a time interval or a daily summary. If neither
time
specified,
is the default. In this case, the report displays data accrued for
is
the previous 24 time intervals (hour or half-hour), including data from the most
recently completed time interval. To get information on the current time interval,
you must use a monitor bcms command. Screen 4-4 shows the BCMS Agent
Report — Hourly, and Screen 4-5 shows the BCMS Agent Report — Daily.
NOTE:
BCMS c an track agents based on their phone numbers, or based on login
IDs. If BCMS/VuStats Login IDs is optioned, BCMS tracks login IDs.
When analyzing this report, keep the following things in mind:
■All averages are for completed calls only.
■A completed call may span more than one time interval. ACD calls that are
in process (have not terminated) are counted in the time interval in which
they terminate. For example, if an ACD call begins in the 10:00 to 11:00
time in t er v a l, but terminates in the 11:00 to 12:00 time interval, the data for
this call is counted in the 11:00 to 12:00 time interval.
■Asterisks indicate that the maximum for the associated field has been
exceeded .

This report presents header infor m ation at the top of each page. This information
includes the comman d entered to generate the report, the page number of the
report, the title of the report, and the time and date the report was generated. If
this is a time report and there are more than 11 time intervals, this report is
displayed on multiple pages. A daily summary report is displayed on the last
page of the report.
AGENT NAME — The name of the agent. If no name is administered, the agent’s
extension is displayed in the form
TIME/DAY — The time or day interval specified in the command line.
Time is always ex pressed in 24-hour format. Start and stop times are optional.
Reports always start at the earliest time interval (either hour or half-hour). If no
start time is given, the oldest time interval is the default. A stop time requires an
associated start time. If no stop time is given, the last completed time interval
(hour or half-hour) is the default. If no start time or stop time is given, the report
displays data accrued for the previous 24 t im e in tervals. If you specify
command and do not include a start day or stop day, the report displays data
accrued for the previous six days and data accrued through the most recently
completed interval (hour or half-hour).

ACD CALLS — The number of ACD calls answered by this agent for all sp lits
during the reporting interval. This value includes calls that flowed in from other
splits and Direct Agent calls.
AVG TALK TIME — The average duration of ACD calls for all splits the agent
was logged into. This value includes time spent talking but does not include the
amount of time the agent was holding an ACD call or ring time at the agent’s
voice terminal. The calculation is:
TOTAL AFTER CALL — The total amount of time that the agent spent in
call-related or non-call-related ACW work states for all splits during the reporting
interval. This does not include time spent on direct incoming or outgoin g calls
while in ACW. If an agent entered ACW in one interval, but ended ACW in
another interval, the appropriate amount of ACW time is credited to each of the
intervals.
TOTAL AVAIL TIME — The sum of the time that the agent was available to
receive ACD calls during the current interval. During this time, the agent:
■Was in Auto-In or Manual-In work modes for at least one split
■Was not in ACW in any split

■Was not on any call or placing any call (unless MCH is active)
■Did not have ringing calls
TOTAL AUX/OTHER — The sum of the time that the agent has the AUX button
pressed and is not doing any th i ng els e f o r a n y of th e o ther splits (that is, the sum
of the time that the agent is in AUX work mode for all splits). This value does not
include time the agent spent on an EXTN call or in Manual-In, Auto-In, or ACW
mode for another split. Note that if the agent was in Other for all logged-in splits
that time is reflected here. For example, ringing calls can cause several seconds
of AUX time to accrue.
For the agent report, any non-ACD call time is totaled in the AVG EXTN TIME
column. Two points of contrast are:
1. The measurement TOTAL AUX/OTHER is time-interval based, rather than
being call related. For example, assuming that the previously identified
stipulations are met, then if the agent is in AUX from 9:55 to 10:05, five
minutes is pegged in the 9:00 to 10:00 time interval and five minutes is
pegged in the 10:00 to 11:00 time interval.
2. The measurement AVG EXTN TIME is call related. For example, if an agent
is on a non-ACD call from 9:55 to 10:05, the call and ten minutes of EXTN
time is pegged in the 10:00 to 11:00 time interval.
Because the agent report includes some call-related items, the sum of all
items for a given hour may not exactly equal 60 minutes.
EXTN CALLS — The total number of non-ACD incoming and outgoin g calls for
this agent during the reporting interval. O nly those non-ACD calls that are
originated and/or received while the agent is logged into at least one split are
counted.
AVG EXTN TIME — The average amount of time that the agent spent on
non-ACD calls while logged into at least one split during the reporting interval.
This average does not inc lude time when the agent was holding the EXTN call.
The calcu lati on is:
TOTAL TIME STAFFED — The total time that the agent spe nt logged into at
least one split during the reporting interval. Staff time is clocked for an agent who
is in m ul t iple splits as long as the agent is logged i n to any split. Concurrent times
for each split are not totaled.
TOTAL HOLD TIME — The total time that the agent placed ACD calls on hold.
This time is the
c aller’s hold time
and is independent of the state of the agent.
TOTAL HOLD TIME does not include the hold time for non-ACD calls.

BCMS Split Report
Report Headers, Abbreviations,
and Their Definitions
This report presents header infor m ation at the top of each page. This information
includes the comman d entered to generate the report, the page number of the
report, the title of the report, and the time and date the report was generated. If
this is a time report and there are more than 10 time intervals, this report is
displayed on multiple pages. A daily summary report is displayed on the last
page of the report.
SPLIT — The split number specified with the command line.
SPLIT NAME — Displays the name that is administered for this split number. If
no name exists, BCMS displays the split extension (for example, EXT 65432).
ACCEPTABLE SERVICE LEVEL — The desired time to answer for a given hunt
group. Timing for a call begins when the call enters the hun t group queue.
TIME/DAY — The time or day interval specified in the command line.
Time is always ex pressed in 24-hour format. Start and stop times are optional.
Reports always start at the earliest time interval (either hour or half-hour). If no
start time is given, the oldest time interval is the default. A stop time requires an
associated start time. If no stop time is given, the last completed time interval
(hour or half-hour) is the default. If no start or stop time is given, the report
day
displays data accrued for the previous 24 t im e in tervals. If you specify
in the
command and do not include a start day or stop day, the report displays data
accrued for the previous six days and data accrued through the most recently
completed interval (hour or half-hour).
ACD CALLS — The number of ACD calls completed for this split during the
current interval. This number also includes calls that flowed in from other splits
and Direct Agent calls.
AVG SPEED ANS — The average am ount of ti me answered ACD calls (split and
Direct Agent) spent in queue and ringing at an agent’s station before being
answered during the reporting interval. Calls that flowed in do not have queue
time from the previous split included in this average. Th is calculation is:

ABAND CALLS — The total number of ACD calls that have hung up while
waiting to be answered during this time interval. This value includes those calls
that have abandoned while in queue or while ringing. Calls that are not queued
(because the queue is full, the caller receives a forced first announcement and
abandons during the announcement, or no agents are staffed) are not counted
as abandoned. Also, calls that abandon while on hold are not counted as
abandoned.
AVG ABAND TIME — The average time before an ACD call abandons. This
value does not include any tim e s pent i n an o ther s plit’s queue before flowing into
this split. The calculation is:

TOTAL AFTER CALL — The amount of time that the agents in this split spent in
call-related or n oncall-r elat ed ACW mode during the reporting interval. T his value
includes time spent on direct incoming or outgoing c a lls while in ACW. If an
agent entered ACW in one interval, but left ACW in an other interval, each interval
is credited with ACW time.
FLOW IN — The total number of completed calls that this split received as a
coverage point (intraflowed) from another BCMS-measured split, or are call
forwarded (interflowed) to this split during the reporting interval. This total does
not include calls that are interflowed from a remote switch by means of the Look
Ahead Interflow feature. FLOW INs are recorded when a call ends.

No Answer timing.
■If a multiply queued call is answered in a non primary split (that is, a
second or third split), an outflow is recorded to the statistics for the
first split, and an in f low and an answer are recorded t o th e s ta tistics
for the answering split. For example, suppose there are three splits
numbered 1 t hrough 3. A call comes in for split 1, but all agents ar e
busy on this split. The call then goes into queue for splits 2 and 3.
An agent on split 3 answers the call. In thi s example, an outflow is
recorded to the statistics for split 1, and an inflow and an answer
are recorded to the statistics for split 3. Th e st atistics for split 2 are
unaffected because the call was not answered in this split. This
scenario is shown in the following table.

If the call is answered in t he prima ry split, no inflows or outflows are
recorded t o the statistics for any split. Splits 2 and 3 record the call
as dequeued.
■If a call is queued on three splits (for example, splits 1, 2, and 3,
with split 1 being the primary split), then encounters a route-to
command that sends the call to another VDN, that queues to
different splits (for example, splits 4 and 5), an outflow is recorded
to the statistics for split 1. If the call is answered in split 4, an

recorded to the statistics for split 4. This scenario is shown in the
following table.

If the call is answered on split 5, an outflow is recorded for the

to the statistics for split 5. This scenario is shown in the following
table.

Similarly, if a multiply queued call routes to another split, an outflow
is recorded to the statistics f or the primary split, but no inflow is
recorded to the statistics for the routed-to split.
TOTAL AUX/OTHER — The total time that logged-in agents in this split were
unavai lable to receive calls during the reporting interval. T his value includes time
spent on non-ACD calls while in AUX for this split. This value does not in clude the
time agents spent on another split’s calls or in ACW for another split.
Note that a split totals AUX TIME whenever any agent logs into the split and :
■Receives a EXTN call while in AUX or AVAIL state
■Makes a EXTN call while in AUX or AVAIL state
■Hits his/her AUX button
■Other
Furthermore, the split report measurement AUX TIME is time-interval base d,
since it is not directly related to a ca l l. For example, if an agent is in AUX for any
of the previously identified reasons from 9:55 to 10:05, then five minutes is
pegged in the 9:00 to 10:00 time interval and five minutes is pegged in the 10:00
to 11:00 time interval.
If you perform these calculations for each agent with in a split and total them —
the calculated number should generally be the same as displayed on the split
report. However, because of differences in how the agent and split reports
handle EXTN calls you may (occasionally) see different numbers between the
two reports.

No Answer timing.
FLOW OUTs are recorded when a c all ends.
In a vectoring environment, inflows and outflows become a bit more
complicated. Consider the following scenarios:
■If a multiple queued call is answer ed in a nonprimary split (that is, a
second or third split), an outflow is recorded to the statistics for the
first split, and an in f low and an answer are recorded t o th e s ta tistics
for the answering split. For example, suppose there are three splits
numbered 1 t hrough 3. A call comes in for split 1, but all agents ar e
busy on this split. The call then goes into queue for splits 2 and 3.
An agent on split 3 answers the call. In thi s example, an outflow is
recorded to the statistics for split 1, and an inflow and an answer
are recorded to the statistics for split 3. Th e st atistics for split 2 are
unaffected because the call was not answered in this split. This
scenario is shown in the following table.

BCMSoutflowdequeuedinflow answer
If the call is answered in t he prima ry split, no inflows or outflows are
recorded t o the statistics for any split. Splits 2 and 3 record the call
as not recorded.
■If a call is queued on three splits (for example, splits 1, 2, and 3,
with split 1 being the primary split), then encounters a route-to
command that sends the call to another VDN, that queues to
different splits (for example, splits 4 and 5), an outflow is recorded
to the statistics for split 1. If the call is answered in split 4, an
answer is recorded t o the statistics for split 4. However, no inflow is
recorded to the statistics for split 4. This scenario is shown in the

TOTAL AUX/OTHER — The total time that logged-in agents in this split were
unavai lable to receive calls during the reporting interval. T his value includes time
spent on non-ACD calls while in AUX for this split. This value does not in clude the
time agents spent on another split’s calls or in ACW for another split.
If the call is answered on split 5, an outflow is recorded for the
statistics t o split 4, and both an inflow and an answer are recorded
to the statistics for split 5. This scenario is shown in the following
table.
Split Pegging
Split 1Split 2Split 3Split 4Split 5
Similarly, if a multiple queued call routes to another split, an outflow
is recorded to the statistics f or the primary split, but no inflow is
recorded to the statistics for the routed-to split.
A split totals AUX/OTHER TIME whenever any agent logs into the split and:
■Receives a EXTN call while in AUX or AVAIL state
■Makes a EXTN call while in AUX or AVAIL state
■Hits his/her AUX button
■Other
Furthermore, the split report measurement AUX TIME is time-interval base d,
since it is not directly related to a ca l l. For example, if an agent is in AUX for any
of the previously identified reasons from 9:55 to 10:05, then five minutes is
pegged in the 9:00 to 10:00 time interval and five minutes is pegged in the 10:00
to 11:00 time interval.
If you perform these calculations for each agent with in a split and total them —
the calculated number should generally be the same as displayed on the split
report. However, because of differences in how the agent and split reports
handle EXTN calls you may (occasionally) see different numbers between the
two reports.

BCMS Trunk Group Summary Report
The BCMS Trunk Group Summary Report provides information about
BCMS-measured trunk groups. You can sp ecify the trunk groups you want
included in the report. The BCMS Trunk Group Report can be used by the ACD
administrator and/or manager to monitor use of one or more trunk groups and to
determine the optimal number of trunks for the trunk groups. Note that this
applies only to trunk groups measured by BCMS.
Th is report is sim ila r to th e BCMS Tr unk Group Report except that the information
for a trunk appears on separate lines of the report, with totals of activity for all
trunks in the trunk group f o r th e specified time. You can print the report for a
certain time period spec ified in either hours or days (up to 7 days).
The report displays only the information that exists and does not identify absent
data. If data does not exist for a specified trunk group, the trunk group does not
appear on the report. Also, if information does not exist for a portion of the
specified time period, the report displays all existing information but does not
identify where there is no data. Screen 4-34 shows the BCMS Trunk Group
Summary Report for an interval of hours, and Screen 4-35 shows the BCMS
Trunk Group Summary Report for a daily interval.
NOTE:
When analyzing this report, keep the following things in mind:
■All averages are for completed cal ls only.
■Asterisks in a field indicate that the maximum for that field is
exceeded .
■A single asterisk at the end of a time or date field indicates that
during the interval, trunk group administration occurred which
changed the number of trunks.
