How Multimedia Contact Center works for callers
When callers on a web site click a multimedia HTML link, the Call setup page appears.
NN40170-602
Page 15
Chapter 2 Multimedia Contact Center overview 15
In the call setup page, callers specify their calling preferences. Callers can access the media types
based on their needs and resources. Callers with separate data and PSTN voice lines can have a
PSTN voice call while they view, receive, or even send web pages to agents. For information on
Multimedia Contact Center call types, see “Multimedia Contact Center call types” on page 18.
After a caller specifies their preferences, by clicking the Connect button, the following
confirmation page displays.
After the caller clicks the link, Click here to connect to an agent using Multimedia Contact Center,
the multimedia call enters the Contact Center. Based on the rules created by the Contact Center
administrator, the request for an agent is sent to the appropriate skillset. If an agent is not
immediately available, the caller can receive periodic HTML messages (web refresh). The Contact
Center administrator programs these messages. The messages can thank callers for their interest,
inform them that there are no agents currently available, and tell them that they will be connected
to the first available agent.
When the call is answered by an agent, the Multimedia Contact Center caller interface appears in
the caller’s web browser (see “Multimedia Contact Center caller interface” on page 16).

How Multimedia Contact Center works for agents
Depending on the call preferences the caller has requested in the call setup page, the agent can
have a browser-only or a phone- and-browser call with the caller. The agent can use follow-me
browsing to show the caller a sequence of web pages. The agent can also send pages or screen
captures, or have a text chat with the caller.
For a phone-and-browser call, the agent must answer the phone, and then the agent interface and
browser window appear on the agent’s computer. For a browser-only call, the agent interface and
browser window appear immediately, so the agent cannot decline this type of call. The agent’s
browser window shows the web page that the caller originally clicked to start the Multimedia
Contact Center call.

Note: While the caller is waiting, web-refreshed HTML pages appear in their
browser. These pages correspond to the announcements callers hear on a PSTN
voice call. A new web page can be pushed for every Contact Center
announcement.
Note: Because the Multimedia Contact Center application is real-time response
product, agents must remove or disable any power-saving settings that can affect
the response time of the agent to the caller.
3 When a Multimedia Contact Center agent becomes available, the caller's phone rings.
4 The caller answers the call.
5 The Contact Center routes the phone (PSTN voice) portion of the call to the Multimedia
Contact Center agent.
The agent’s set rings and displays “www:ss” (where ss = skillset number) to signify that the
call is a multimedia call.
6 The agent answers the call on their set and the agent’s and the caller's audio path are
connected, and the agent and caller's web pages are synchronized.
The Multimedia Contact Center agent interface is launched in a new browser window on the
agent’s PC.
7 The agent sends appropriate web pages to the caller. The agent can have a text chat session
with the caller.
Note: All agents must close unused browser windows at the end of a browser
session for either a phone and browser call or a browser-only call to ensure that
the next call opens in a new and full-sized browser window.

Browser-only calls
For this type of call, the caller needs an Internet connection. A browser-only call (data only call)
can include text chat and web pages that the agent sends to the caller.
How a browser-only call works
1 The caller clicks the Multimedia Contact Center icon on a web page.
The call setup page appears.
Note: If cookies are enabled, preferences from the caller’s previous call (if any)
appear in the page.
2 The caller completes the set up procedure. The caller
a verifies that their version of Sun Java Runtime Environment is the most recent version
(1.5.0 or higher), and downloads the most recent version if theirs is not.
b enters their full name.
c selects the By Browser Only radio button (co-browsing and text chat with an agent).
d clicks Connect.
The Caller Setup confirmation page appears.
e Clicks the link Click here to connect to an agent using Multimedia Contact Center.
A request for an agent is sent over the IP network to the Contact Center.
The Multimedia Contact Center caller interface is launched in a new browser window on the
caller’s PC.
Note: While the caller is waiting, web-refreshed HTML pages appear in their
browser. These pages correspond to the announcement callers hear on a PSTN
voice call. A new web page can be sent by an agent for every Contact Center
announcement, along with information such as the number of agents in the skillset
and the number of calls in the skillset. For a full list of CGI parameters, see the
Multimedia Contact Center Web Developer Guide.
Note: Because the Multimedia Contact Center application is real-time response
product, agents must remove or disable any power-saving settings that can affect
the response time of the agent to the caller.

3 When a Multimedia Contact Center agent is available, the Multimedia Contact Center agent
interface is launched in a new browser window on the agent’s PC (see “Multimedia Contact
Center agent interface” on page 17).
The agent and caller web pages are synchronized.
4 The agent pushes appropriate web pages to the caller. The agent can have a text chat session
with the caller.
Note: If you add a restriction to the Voicemail DN, you also restrict all outcalling calls,
including external transfers from CCR Trees, Off-premise Message Notification, and
Outbound Transfers.

For example, if you have a web developer who creates custom web pages for your business, you
can create a user account for them. This gives them their own user ID and password that gives
them access to certain tasks; for example, downloading and uploading web pages, and viewing
web page lists. Another example: ABC Computers has weekly specials and wants to update their
information weekly. You can create a user account for ABC Computers that lets anyone who has
the user ID update their web pages.

Enabling Multimedia Contact Center
You require a keycode to enable software features on the Business Communications Manager
(BCM) system. The keycode is a 24-digit code that authenticates the feature or bundle of features
you purchased for your BCM. To enable Multimedia Contact Center, the keycode must include
this feature.
To obtain a keycode you require the following:
• feature authorization code for the BCM
•system ID
The authorization code is a six-digit code you receive for each of the features you purchase.
The authorization code is on the label affixed to the keycode information sheet. You enable
Multimedia Contact Center by enabling the Multimedia Contact Center authorization code on the
BCM Business Element Manager.
For more information on the keycode and authorization codes, as well as steps for installing a
keycode and authorization codes, see the Keycode Installation Guide.
Setting Multimedia Contact Center parameters
You must define the public host name parameter. Multimedia Contact Center parameters are set
using CallPilot Manager.
Note: If your BCM is behind a firewall or proxy server, you must set the firewall
or proxy server TCP ports 443 and 4200 to forward inbound traffic to the BCM.
For more information on how to set inbound filters, see the documentation for
your firewall or proxy server. If you have a BCM firewall, see the Nortel BCM
Administration and Security Guide.

NN40170-602
Page 27
Chapter 3 Setting up Multimedia Contact Center 27
Assigning routing to Multimedia Contact Center calls
You must assign how Multimedia Contact Center calls are routed. The standard method of
assigning call routing is to specify the initial skillset in the web link that is used to initiate the call.
See the Multimedia Contact Center Web Developer Guide for details. You specify the skillsets to
be used to the web developer, who includes this information on the customized web pages for your
company.
You can also use the callback number information for a Multimedia Contact Center Call, to move
the call to another skillset or change the call’s priority within the skillset. The callback number is
processed by the CLID (Calling Line Identification) column in the CLID/DNIS Routing table in
CallPilot Manager.
Note: The skillset defined in the HTML tag is used unless there is an overriding rule in
the CLID/DNIS (Calling line identifier/dialed number identification service) table.
Routing tables
When you set up your Contact Center, you create day and night routing tables for each skillset. To
route Multimedia Contact Center calls effectively, you must understand how routing steps affect
Multimedia Contact Center calls. For example, you can set up the Night Routing Table so that
when your Contact Center is closed, Multimedia Contact Center calls are transferred to a mailbox
or another number.
Before a Multimedia Contact Center call is connected to an agent, the following Intelligent
Overflow actions disconnect the call in the caller’s browser and display a message to the caller:
• transfer to Skillset mailbox
• transfer to external or internal DN
• transfer to Automated Attendant
• transfer to Operator
Before a Multimedia Contact Center call is connected to an agent, the following actions route the
call as expected:
• overflow to other skillsets
• move to another skillset
• change priority of call
For information about setting up Day and Night Routing Tables, see the Intelligent Contact Center
Set Up and Operation Guide.

a If you want Intelligent CLID/DNIS routing to apply to Multimedia Contact Center calls,
select the Multimedia Calls check box and do not enter information in the Line or DNIS
boxes. You must enter a CLID/ANI entry.
Note: If you select the Multimedia Calls check box, you must have a CLID/ANI
entry, either a phone number or an asterisk (*). An asterisk (*) in the CLID/ANI
field represents all Multimedia Contact Center calls, including browser only calls
and phone and browser calls. If you select Multimedia Calls and enter an asterisk
(*) in the CLID/ANI field, then all Multimedia Calls are routed to the specific
skillset. If you want to route the phone and browser calls to another skillset, then
program a CLID/ANI entry with a telephone number. So it is a separate entry
from the browser only calls.
b To route calls to a specific skillset, select the Move to Skillset radio button and select a
skillset.
c To change the call priority, select the Change Call Priority Only radio button.
d Use the New Call Priority: drop-down list to select the priority of CLID/DNIS calls.
e Click Submit.
The Intelligent CLID/DNIS Routing page appears.
The routing rule you created appears in this table.
The CLID/DNIS Routing table shows four examples of Multimedia Contact Center rules.
• In the first Multimedia Contact Center rule, Multimedia Contact Center calls with a CLID
or ANI of 4033 are given a priority of 18.
• In the second Multimedia Contact Center rule, Multimedia Contact Center calls with a
CLID or ANI of 4053 change to a priority 4.
• In the third Multimedia Contact Center rule, Multimedia Contact Center calls with a CLID
or ANI beginning with 405 change to a priority of 5.
You can use the wildcard character (*) for Multimedia Contact Center rules. For example,
if you want to program all Multimedia Contact Center calls from a specific area code such
as 403 to have a high priority and go to skillset 1, select Multimedia Calls, enter 403* and
select priority 1 and skillset 1.
• In the fourth Multimedia Contact Center rule, any Multimedia call (browser only calls and
phone and browser calls) that do not match the three previous rules are routed to Skillset 2.
9 Do not log off CallPilot Manager.

NN40170-602
Page 31
Chapter 3 Setting up Multimedia Contact Center 31
Assigning a callback route for Multimedia Contact Center
A callback route must be set up for Contact Center to connect to the caller’s phone. You can
program the callback route for each skillset by programming the skillset mailbox, or across the
entire system by using the system administration mailbox. The callback route is determined as
follows:
• If you program a skillset to have a callback route associated with it, Multimedia Contact
Center uses the callback route that you have programmed.
• If you do not program a skillset to have a callback route, but you program the system
administration mailbox to have a callback route associated with it, Multimedia Contact Center
uses the callback route that you have programmed.
• If you do not program a skillset or the system administrator mailbox to have a callback route,
Multimedia Contact Center uses Pool A.
To assign a callback route for a skillset or the system administrator mailbox
1 On CallPilot Manager, click the Mailbox Administration heading.
The Mailbox List page appears.

Creating a Multimedia Contact Center dial plan
You can create a callback dial plan that restricts Multimedia Contact Center from calling certain
numbers. When you create a dial plan you add restrictions to the DNs that BCM uses for callback.
These restrictions limit the calls that Multimedia Contact Center accepts; for example, you can
create a restriction that limits calls to local calls from your service area.
You can add restrictions to skillset and the Voicemail DNs. You can display DNs by entering
Feature 985 on a set.
Note: If you add a restriction to the Voicemail DN, you also restrict all outcalling calls,
including external transfers from CCR Trees, Off-premise Message Notification, and
Outbound Transfers.
Example of a dial plan that restricts calls based on their country
Bridgestone Computers sells computers in the United States and Canada, and has different
information for prices and shipping for each country.
The Contact Center administrator sets up restrictions for each of the U.S. and Canada skillsets.
When a caller in the U.S. clicks the HTML link and enters their phone number, the restriction rules
for the US skillset identify the caller as being in a U.S. area code. That skillset calls back telephone
numbers within the US.
To create a restriction on the BCM system
