14 Chapter 2 Multimedia Contact Center overview
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
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.

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

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.
3When a Multimedia Contact Center agent becomes available, the caller's phone rings.
4The caller answers the call.
5The 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.
6The 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.
7The 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.

20 Chapter 2 Multimedia Contact Center overview
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.

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.

3When 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.
4The 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.

Setting up Multimedia Contact Center
Setting up Multimedia Contact Center involves:
•Creating a user account for Multimedia Contact Center
•Enabling Multimedia Contact Center
•Setting Multimedia Contact Center parameters
•Assigning routing to Multimedia Contact Center calls
— Routing tables
•Routing Multimedia Contact Center calls using the CLID/DNIS Routing table
•Assigning a callback route for Multimedia Contact Center
•Configuring outdialing using PRI lines
•Assigning an outgoing line to a line pool
•Creating a Multimedia Contact Center dial plan
— Example of a dial plan that restricts calls based on their country
•Setting the maximum number of outcalling channels
•Configuring the Dialing Translation Table
23
Creating a user account for Multimedia Contact Center
In Business Element Manager you can create user accounts that allow several people to have
access to Multimedia Contact Center settings. A user account allows users to access their own
information, but not anyone else’s.
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.
Multimedia Contact Center Setup and Operation Guide
24 Chapter 3 Setting up Multimedia Contact Center
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.
To set the Multimedia Contact Center public host name
