Introduction
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting is a Windows® software application that provides
Real Time statistics and comprehensive management information on the day-to-day performance
of your Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center system. Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting helps
you manage the peaks and troughs in call traffic. The following Real Time information is
available:

System software
The software that sends data to Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting is integral to
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center and the Enterprise Edge 2.0. The Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call
Center Reporting software has two separate components: the user interface (known as the
Graphical User Interface or GUI) and the RDB Server.
The user interface is used to configure Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting and to view the
management information.
One PC on your network must be running the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master
Client software (known as the Master Client). This is the PC which communicates with the
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center application. The Master Client PC gathers information (called
event data) from the Enterprise Edge 2.0 and stores it on the hard disk. It is this stored
information which provides the data for the reports.
The RDB Server is the program used to gather and store the event data sent from the Enterprise
Edge 2.0. The RDB Server must be running whenever statistical data needs to be collected.
this reason, it is recommended that the RDB Server is operational at all times.
There can be only one PC on your network running the Master Client software
so that other users may view the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Real Time screens
. However,

Multiple Client PCs communicate with the Master PC, they do not communicate with the
Enterprise Edge 2.0 directly. For Multiple Clients to operate, the RDB Server must be running

operational at all times.
Both Master Client and Multiple Client PCs may be used to change the configuration of the Call

Introduction
This chapter describes installation prerequisites, how to install the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call
Center Reporting Master and Multiple Client software, troubleshooting tips and the folders
created on the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Master and Multiple Client PCs.
Installation prerequisites
Before you install Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master Client software, you must:
1. Be familiar with Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center and the WindowsTM operating system.
2. Ensure that the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center is installed and configured.
3. Ensure that the Enterprise Edge 2.0 is connected to and is operational on the Network to
which the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master Client PC is connected.
Now you are ready to install the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master Client
software from the Enterprise Edge 2.0.
Installing Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master Client
software
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master Client software automatically creates a folder
called \Program Files\Nortel Networks\Call Center Reporting on the C: drive of the Master
Client PC. This folder contains the application files used by Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center
Reporting Master Client. It also contains the Call Center Reporting configuration database.
Another folder is created on the hard disk drive of the Master Client PC. The second folder is
called \Program Files\Nortel Networks\Call Center Reporting\Stats, and contains the stored
statistical data. This folder is not created on the Multiple Client PCs.
Do not rename, move or delete these folders.
Note: Before Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting will operate correctly, you must
enable the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Software Keycode. For Software
Keycode information, refer to the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Software Keycode InstallationGuide.

Installing Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting
TCP/IP Protocol
Enterprise Edge 2.0 and Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting use the industry standard
TCP/IP protocol for communication between the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center and the
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master Client PC, and also for communication
between the Master Client PC and the Multiple Client PC(s). This means the Windows Network
component is required for all Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Client PCs, both for the
Master Client and for the Multiple Clients.
The Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting installation process does not install the Windows
Network component. For instructions on installing the Windows Networking component, refer to
your network or Windows documentation.
Checking whether The Windows Networking Component Is Installed
To check that the Windows Network component is set up properly in order to operate as a
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master or Multiple Client PC, the following steps
must be performed:
Note:
If your company has a network administrator, check with your administrator before
changing any network configuration parameters.

Troubleshooting Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting
If the Master Client (including the RDB Server) is closed down and then restarted, Enterprise
Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting will have no knowledge of any Agents who are still Logged In to
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center, nor will it have any knowledge of any Calls which are already
in progress. In other words, all of the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Queues will be considered
to be in the Out Mode.
The same situation will occur if the Enterprise Edge 2.0 is closed down and restarted, and Agents
Log In to Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center before the Master Client software has been restarted.
The solution to both of these scenarios is that for either accidental or scheduled disconnection or
power down of the Enterprise Edge 2.0, the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master
Client software must be closed down.
When Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master Client is restarted Agents should
Note:
be told to Log Out and then Log In.
The following procedures explain how to recover from data loss between Enterprise Edge 2.0
Call Center and the Master Client PC. For each situation, perform the steps in order.

Installing Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting
Starting or Restarting Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center and Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center
Reporting Master Client
When starting the system for the first time, or intentionally restarting the system after a
controlled power down:
1. Start the Enterprise Edge 2.0.
2. Start the Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master Client.
Do not allow agents to log in until all steps are completed.
Note:
To recover from an unintentional close-down of the RDB Server:
1. Shut down Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master Client.
2. Ensure that Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center is still running.
3. Restart Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting Master Client.
4. If agents are currently logged into the system, they must log out, and then log back in.
Do not allow agents to log in until all steps are completed.
Note:

Starting or Restarting Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center and Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center
Reporting Multiple Client
If a you have Logged In to Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting on a Multiple Client PC
and the Enterprise Edge 2.0 has been restarted, you will have to Log Out and Exit from the
Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center Reporting, and re-start Enterprise Edge 2.0 Call Center
Reporting once the Enterprise Edge 2.0 has been re-started.
If you had selected the Access to Configuration option before the Master Client PC was re-set,
you might see the following dialog box when you try to Log In again with the Access to
Configuration option selected.

Check that no other users have Logged In with the Access to Configuration option selected.
If there are no other users Logged In with the Access to Configuration option selected the
