What is Avaya IP Agent for Citrix?

Avaya IP Agent is a software application with advanced telephony features for agents in a contact center. Agents can use it to work in the following methods

● On-site at the contact center

● Off-site using analog connections over a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)

● Through Windows Terminal Services.

The advanced telephony features are controlled by Avaya IP Agent through its direct communication with an Avaya communication server.

Agents who are not located at the call center can connect to the Avaya communication server in the contact center and receive calls as if they were present at their contact center workstation. For example, if an agent cannot travel to the contact center because of transportation problems or weather conditions, the agent can still take calls by using Avaya IP Agent to connect to the Avaya communication server.

Avaya IP Agent features for Citrix

The following is a list of the features for Avaya IP Agent on Citrix:

● Windows Terminal Services compatibility - Those call centers that use Windows Terminal

Services can now use a special edition of Avaya IP Agent to facilitate usage of the Telecommuter configuration in that environment.

Avaya IP Agent Installation and User Guide for Citrix June 2007 11

Chapter 1: Introduction

● User-to-user information (UUI) screen pop enhancement - Using external applications,

unique identifiers can be added to incoming calls. If your Avaya communication server has the correct features and configuration, these identifiers can be passed to Avaya IP Agent and used in screen pops for agents.

Available configuration and supported communication servers

● Support of Avaya DEFINITY R10, MultiVantage, and Communication Manager systems.

● Telecommuter configuration - Agents using an analog or Digital Communication Protocol

(DCP) telephone can use the advanced call features provided by the Avaya communication server. For example, an agent working from home can use Avaya IP Agent and their home telephone to transfer calls, place calls on hold, change agent work mode, and do other call center activities.

Call and contact center features

● VuStats support - Avaya IP Agent can display multiple lines of VuStats information in the

VuStats dialog box. You can use VuStats information to assist in complete monitoring of the contact center.

● Emergency Call Handling Service (E911) - With this feature, agents using IP Endpoints

can use numbers that connect to emergency services, such as 911 in the United States. Only those emergency services in the Public Safety Answering Point area where the Avaya communication server is located can be reached. Agents or extensions in remote locations should not use this feature for emergencies.

● External Number Formatting - For international users, Avaya IP Agent allows you to define

how many digits are present in telephone numbers outside the contact center.

Contact management features

● Call history - Avaya IP Agent records a complete call history of incoming and outgoing

calls, even for those calls that were missed because where the caller does not leave a voice message.

● Telephone directory - Avaya IP Agent provides a customizable telephone directory that

lists physical addresses, multiple telephone numbers, speed-dial numbers, e-mail addresses, and notes for each contact.

● Search Public Directory - With this feature, agents have the ability to search through public

or company information using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

● Screen Pops - Screen Pops can be initiated when a call is received or placed. Avaya IP

Agent provides agents with the ability to display Web pages, start applications, or retrieve and display caller information from a database. Screen pops are created using the Screen Pops Wizard, which guides you through their creation. A screen pop can consist of any process or application that can be initiated through one of the commands in the following list:

Windows executable or registered file type activation

12 Avaya IP Agent Installation and User Guide for Citrix June 2007

What is Avaya IP Agent for Citrix?

Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) "Execute" or "Poke" commands

Usability features

● Clipboard dialing - Avaya IP Agent can be used to dial any number copied to the clipboard

or, in most personal computer applications, used to dial a number that an agent highlights by right-clicking on the Avaya IP Agent icon in the System Tray.

● Enhanced Phone features - The Phone Features window includes adding, renaming, and

deleting of folders.

● Enhanced System Tray icon - The Avaya IP Agent icon in the System Tray contains

release, drop, hold, transfer, conference, and agent work mode functions.

● Automatic login - An agent can automatically log in to the Avaya communication server

when Avaya IP Agent is started. Avaya IP Agent uses the login information from the previous login.

● Speed dialer - Agents can assign telephone numbers to function keys (F2 through F8).

● Voice message icon - When voice messages are present for the extension currently in

use, an icon is displayed in the System Tray. When it has been configured, you can click on this icon to connect to your voice mail system.

● Alternate user interfaces - These interfaces can be used in place of the standard interface.

These alternate interfaces use much less space on your desktop, and then can eliminate the problem of the previous Avaya IP Agent interface being hidden behind other applications or requiring too much space on the desktop.

Security and management features

● Feature deactivation - Administrators can deactivate Avaya IP Agent features that should

not be configured or used by agents. The features that can be deactivated include Screen Pops, Screen Pop administration, Phone Directory, Public Search Directory, Call History, Phone Features configuration, Personal Phone Features, and Program Options selection.

● Alternate Gatekeeper - When an agent registers an IP Endpoint with an Avaya

communication server, a C-LAN circuit pack IP address is sent by the server to the IP Endpoint. If registration is successful, the Avaya communication server sends back the IP addresses of all the C-LAN circuit packs in the network region. These addresses can be used if call signaling on the original C-LAN circuit pack fails.

● Support for server load balancing across gatekeepers - Registration and usage of Avaya

communication servers can be distributed across multiple C-LAN circuit packs within a network region. This increases performance and reliability for all IP Endpoints.

Required Avaya communication server circuit packs

This section provides information and documentation resources for the circuit packs required by your Avaya communication server to support Avaya IP Agent.

Avaya IP Agent Installation and User Guide for Citrix June 2007 19

Chapter 2: Configuring the Avaya communication server

The following two circuit packs are used for remote agent connections over TCP/IP with Avaya IP Agent:

● Control LAN Circuit Pack (C-LAN) (TN799B or later)

● IP Media Processor

This section contains the following topics:

● C-LAN circuit pack on page 20

● IP Media Processor on page 20

● Documentation on page 21

C-LAN circuit pack

C-LAN is a packet port circuit pack for Avaya communication servers that provides TCP/IP connectivity to adjuncts for applications. It has one 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet connection and up to 16 DS0 physical interfaces for PPP connections. Two integrated modems provide remote PPP connectivity over analog facilities. Multiple C-LAN circuit packs can be added to a system to increase TCP/IP capacity.

This circuit pack provides data signaling over TCP/IP for Avaya IP Agent. It is used for configurations where a data connection is made to the Avaya communication server. The voice path does not use this circuit pack.

Note:

Note: Avaya recommends that the TN799C V4 or later C-LAN circuit pack is used for its

increased ability to handle maximum capacities. Previous versions could encounter difficulties when the maximum number of active endpoints is reached.

IP Media Processor

The IP Media Processor provides the transmission of voice data over an IP network. This enables support of applications that comply with H.323-v2 protocols. It also reduces per-port costs and improves quality through its dynamic jitter buffers. Additionally, it performs echo cancellation, silence suppression, Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) detection, and conferencing.

This circuit pack provides Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) that is used where a VoIP connection is made to the Avaya communication server.
