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

Page 12

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

Page 13

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.

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

Page 20

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.

Chapter 4: Avaya IP Agent enhanced configuration options

Configuring Alternate Gatekeeper on Avaya communication servers

Use the Alternate Gatekeeper feature when an IP Endpoint registers with an Avaya communication server. When Avaya IP Agent registers with an Avaya communication server, a C-LAN circuit pack IP address is sent to the IP Endpoint. If registration is successful, the Avaya communication server sends back the IP addresses of all C-LAN circuit packs defined in the same network region. Avaya IP Agent can use these addresses as alternatives if call signaling on the original C-LAN circuit pack fails.

Tip:

Tip: You can better control the usage and workload of C-LAN circuit packs by creating

network regions.

Alternate Gatekeeper configuration

For information on defining Alternate Gatekeeper addresses, refer to your Avaya communication server documentation.

Configuring server load balancing across gatekeepers

Load balancing for an Avaya communication server refers to the ability of distributing IP Endpoint traffic across all C-LAN circuit packs that are defined within the same network region.

Load Balancing configuration

Load balancing is achieved by defining all of the IP addresses of the C-LAN circuit packs to be part of a network region on an Avaya communication server. After this has been completed, IP Endpoints registering with the Avaya communication server will be automatically assigned to the different C-LAN circuit packs in sequential order. This helps distribute IP Endpoints evenly amongst the C-LAN circuit packs.

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

Page 41

Important:

Important: It is important that you use the network region feature to control which C-LAN

circuit packs are available when one pack loses connectivity. Without proper region assignments for your C-LAN circuit packs, Avaya IP Agent could attempt to connect to a C-LAN circuit pack that has not been properly configured or is not intended for use with Avaya IP Agent.

For more information on defining C-LAN circuit packs within a network region, refer to the documentation for your Avaya communication server.

Using alternate user interfaces

This section provides information and procedures for the alternate user interfaces that are available in Avaya IP Agent.

In many contact center environments, agents use many different applications simultaneously. This can lead to overlapped application windows on the Windows desktop. This can cause difficulties in accessing or using the necessary application windows quickly and efficiently. To help overcome this problem, Avaya IP Agent provides three alternate user interfaces that use much less space on the Windows desktop than the default main window. The following figure compares interface size:

Default main window Alternate user interface example

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

Page 53

Note:

Note: The procedures in this document are written for the default main window. You will

not be able to exactly follow these procedures when you are using an alternate user interface. However, the Program Menu button on the right side of the interface allows you to access the most commonly used features in Avaya IP Agent. Also, the shortcut key combinations for Avaya IP Agent do not function while you use an alternate user interface.

AutoAnswer interface

This interface uses the least amount of space, and is intended for agents using the Auto-In and Auto-answer features. Call-handling buttons, such as Transfer, Hold, and Release are

present. Buttons for agent work modes and Avaya IP Agent features are not available in this interface.

Using alternate user interfaces

Mini interface

This interface is slightly wider than the AutoAnswer interface and is intended for the contact center agent who determines the necessary work mode, such as AUX (Auxiliary Work) and ACW (After-Call Work). In addition to the call-handling buttons, this interface also contains buttons for any agent work modes assigned to this extension.

Titlebar interface

When an agent is on a call, this interface is the largest of the alternate interfaces. It includes call-handling buttons, agent work modes buttons, and buttons used to access other Avaya IP Agent features, such as the Phone Directory and Call History window.

Selecting an alternate interface

This section provides the steps for selecting one of the three alternate user interfaces available with Avaya IP Agent.

Returning to the main interface

To return to the Avaya IP Agent main window from an alternate user interface, click the Maximize button next to Program Menu button on the right side of the interface.

Removing alternate user interfaces

If you do not want these interfaces available for use, remove all files located in the following directory:

<install-directory>\Avaya\Avaya IP Agent\Skins

If you want only one interface available to agents, leave that file in the \Skins directory and delete the other files.

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

Page 55

Note:

Note: Avaya IP Agent cannot recreate these files once they have been deleted.

Renaming alternate user interfaces

If you want to change the name of an alternate user interface, rename the necessary file in the following directory:

<install-directory>\Avaya\Avaya IP Agent\Skins

Note:

Note: Because the names of these menu items are derived from actual filenames,

these items will appear in English for international versions of Avaya IP Agent. To cause these menu items to appear in a specific language other than English, you must use a language-specific version of Windows and then rename the files as needed.

Chapter 6: Using VuStats

The VuStats feature is used to pass contact center information from the Avaya communication server to a display on a station or extension. Supervisors and agents use this feature to monitor contact center activity and statistics.

The VuStats window of Avaya IP Agent displays any VuStats buttons that have been assigned to the extension by the communication server administrator.

Using Avaya IP Agent, you will be able to specify how long the program monitors each transmission of VuStats information before it moves to the next one.

This section includes the following topics:

● Configuring an extension for VuStats through the Avaya communication server on page 57

● Viewing a single set of VuStats information in Avaya IP Agent on page 58

● Adjusting intervals for monitoring VuStats on page 59

Configuring an extension for VuStats through the Avaya communication server

For an Avaya IP Agent extension to display VuStats information, the following configurations on the Avaya communication server must be done:

● The extension must be assigned as a telephone type that has a display. Avaya

recommends the 8434D or 606A1 telephone types for the Telecommuter configuration.

● The extension must have one or more buttons assigned with the vu-display feature.

Different streams of VuStats information are available by specifying the format and ID parameters of the vu-display feature.

● For different views and formats, multiple VuStats configurations can be assigned to the

buttons for this extension.

Configuration

For information on configuring extensions for the VuStats feature through your Avaya communication server, see the "VuStats" section of Avaya Call Center ACD Guide.

Avaya IP Agent displays the selected VuStats information in the Phone Display toolbar of the main window.

Adjusting intervals for monitoring VuStats

When VuStats are being displayed through the VuStats Monitor, you can configure the following time-related items:

● Refresh Rate - The period of time that passes before focus is changed from the last line of

display in the list to the first line.

● Display Interval - The period of time that passes before the VuStats Monitor changes

focus from one VuStats line of display to the next one in the list.

Before you begin

You should ensure that you set the VuStats Monitor time intervals so that each line of display can be updated before the Refresh Rate changes focus to the top of the list. For example, if you have six VuStats lines of display in the VuStats Monitor and the Display Interval is set for 10 seconds, your Refresh Rate should be 60 seconds or greater.

Tip:

Tip: If a VuStats line of display has not been updated before the next VuStats item

begins to update, increase the Display Interval delay.

Chapter 7: Avaya IP Agent basic

operations

This chapter contains information on the basic operations of Avaya IP Agent.

This chapter includes the following topics:

● Selecting an agent work mode on page 61

● Handling incoming calls on page 63

● Transferring a call on page 67

● Conferencing calls on page 70

● Handling outgoing calls on page 75

Selecting an agent work mode

During the course of placing calls, receiving calls, and performing work associated with those calls, work modes are used to indicate the availability of the agent or the work being performed.

Definitions of agent work modes

Auto-In and Manual-In

The Auto-In and Manual-In buttons are used to place an agent in the AVAIL (Available) work mode so that the agent can receive calls.

If an agent is in Auto-In mode and completes a call, the agent is automatically available to receive another call, or can be placed in After-Call Work (ACW) mode for an administered length of time. When the timed ACW interval expires, the agent is automatically returned to available status. If the agent tries to change agent modes while active on a call, the change is not made until the agent disconnects from the call.

If the agent is in Manual-In mode and completes a call, the agent is automatically placed in After-Call Work (ACW) mode. To become available to receive another ACD call, the agent must manually select the Auto-In or Manual-In mode. If the agent tries to change agent modes while not on an active call, the change takes place immediately.

Avaya IP Agent Installation and User Guide for Citrix June 2007 61

Page 62

Chapter 7: Avaya IP Agent basic operations

ACW (After-Call Work)

Agents use this work mode to indicate that tasks related to the previous call are being performed. This button is not usually used in conjunction with the Auto-In feature because agents with the Auto-In feature are made available for a new call when the current call is completed.

This work mode can be selected while the agent is on an active call. The change will not occur until the current call is finished and released. This work mode may not function correctly if the agent uses it while in Auto-In mode.

AUX (Auxiliary Work)

Agents use this work mode to indicate that they cannot receive calls. Usually, this indicates that the agent is not in the proximity of the telephone because of meals, approved periods of inactivity, meetings, training, and so forth.

It is possible for multiple Auxiliary Work modes to be assigned to an extension as each can possess a different reason code to indicate the various situations that an agent cannot receive calls.

This work mode can be selected while the agent is on an active call. The change will not occur until the current call is finished and released.

Changing work modes

The agent work modes can be changed through the following methods:

● Using shortcut keys - See Shortcut keys on page 141.

● Selecting the associated work mode button on the agent toolbar - See Agent toolbar on

page 119.

● Selecting the work mode from the Avaya IP Agent System Tray icon - See System Tray

icon on page 121.

● Selecting the work mode from the Agent menu in the main window - See Agent menu on

page 114.

Note:

Note: When a work mode is active, the timer, which is displayed in the Call Information

Panel, displays the total time that the agent has been in the selected work mode. To disable this timer, see How to remove the call timer

on page 154.

Handling incoming calls

This section describes those functions that you will be using every day when you receive an incoming call at your station, including answering a call and holding a call.

This section includes the following topics:

● Answering a call on page 63

● Holding a call on page 65

● Releasing a call on page 66

● Dropping a call on page 67

Answering a call

Answering a call depends on how the Avaya communication server and the network are administered. Each contact center environment is different, which can affect the way agents answer calls. Avaya suggests that each contact center evaluate its configuration and instruct agents on the best way to answer calls with Avaya IP Agent. There are too many possible Avaya IP Agent configurations to list them in this document. The following are some suggested procedures on answering calls for different configurations.

Handling incoming calls

Configuration settings for Telecommuter

The following list provides the options to set for this configuration:

● Agent Administration for auto-answer is set to station or none.

● Station Administration for auto-answer is set to none.

● Station Administration has service link set to as-needed.

● Each time a call is received, the analog or DCP telephone that provides the voice path will

ring. The personal computer will also emit a ringing sound if you have configured Avaya IP Agent to do so.

● Your Central Office (CO) must have the Answer Supervision feature. Contact your

telecommunication provider for more information.

Steps for answering Telecommuter calls

To answer a call for this configuration:

1. The agent should wait for the telephone to ring and then answer it. Answering of the telephone will automatically be detected through Avaya IP Agent.

Avaya IP Agent Installation and User Guide for Citrix June 2007

Page 64

Chapter 7: Avaya IP Agent basic operations

2. After the call is completed and the calling party disconnects from the call, or after the agent selects Release for that call, the agent should hang up the telephone if no more calls are ringing on the Avaya IP Agent screen.

3. If there is another incoming call indicated on the screen, the agent should not hang up the telephone, but select the Answer button for the new call appearance on the Avaya IP Agent screen. The agent is then connected to the new call. The previous call is placed on hold.

Note:

Note: If an incoming call is displayed in the Avaya IP Agent main window before the

telephone rings, the agent must wait for the telephone set to ring before answering.

Telecommuter (Auto-Answer)

Configuration settings for Telecommuter (Auto-Answer)

The following list provides the options to set for this configuration:

● Agent Administration for auto-answer is set to station, ACD, or all.

● Station Administration for auto-answer is set to ACD or all.

● Station Administration has the service link set to permanent.

● During the event of agent login, the telephone will ring to deliver the login confirmation

tone.

Steps for answering Telecommuter (Auto-Answer) calls

To answer a call for this configuration:

1. The agent should answer the telephone and do not return it to the on-hook state for the remainder of the shift for that agent.

If the telephone is accidentally cut off or placed on-hook, the Avaya communication server rings the telephone when it has a call to deliver. The agent must answer by picking up the handset.

2. As with any auto-answer telephone, the Avaya communication server will provide a zip tone (a beep) to signal that a new call has arrived.

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

Handling outgoing calls

There are several ways you can make the handling of outgoing calls more efficient. You can use a Recent Calls list, a Speed Dial number, or an Abbreviated Dial button.

Note:

Note: In the Phone Directory, you may notice that all telephone numbers are prefixed

with a "+1" (in the United States). All external telephone numbers are displayed in the Phone Directory in canonical format, as seen in the following example:

+1 (800) 555-1234

This format is universally constant and allows this number to be dialed from anywhere in the world. This number is dialed only if deemed necessary through the Dialing Properties of your personal computer.

For example, a user with a laptop may have two or more sets of Dialing Properties configured. In the office, one set of Dialing Properties cause a number, sometimes a "9", to be dialed to access an external line. Alternatively, the same laptop could have a Dialing Properties set that does not use an external line number for when the user is at home or traveling. The format of telephone numbers in the Phone Directory ensures that all of these configurations will work without having to change the format.

● Administering and using Speed Dial on page 80

● Abbreviated Dial button on page 82

Recent Calls list

You can quickly dial or re-dial recent incoming or outgoing calls by using the Recent Calls list. Telephone numbers are not duplicated in the list, so if the last ten calls are to the same number, the number is displayed only once in the list. Only those calls with valid telephone numbers are added to the list.

Before you begin

Before using the Recent Calls list, read and understand the following items:

● You or your system administrator can control the number of recent call numbers displayed

by setting that number in the Program Options dialog box.

● The list can show a maximum of the last 25 unique numbers recorded in the Call History

log. Abbreviated Dial buttons or numbers dialed on active calls (pin numbers) are not included in the list.

● Letters that are dialed, for example, 1800GOAVAYA, are displayed in the recent calls list

as letters, not as the associated numbers.

Chapter 9: Screen pops

Screen pops are used to start an application or interface when an incoming call is received by Avaya IP Agent or when an outgoing call is placed.

Screen pops are most useful for the following actions:

● Starting an application so that the agent can enter customer or critical information

regarding the call.

● Viewing data based on information transmitted with the call, such as customer information,

the area from which they are calling, or the selections a customer made while being processed through a vector.

There are two types of screen pops:

● Windows application - This type of screen pop starts a Windows application, such as an

HTML browser, a database interface, a trouble ticket program, or a custom application. This type of screen pop is also capable of passing parameters as part of an HTML string when it is initialized.

● Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) - This type of screen pop retrieves information you specify

from a call and passes it to a DDE server or application. The DDE server or application can then send information from its database or a file to an interface displayed on the personal computer.

This section includes the following topics:

● Creating a Windows application screen pop on page 96

● Creating a DDE screen pop on page 101

● Setting the active screen pop on page 105

● Modifying a screen pop on page 106

● Deleting a screen pop on page 107

Before you begin

Read and understand the following items before administering screen pops through Avaya IP Agent:

● Many DDE services have distinct features. For this reason, the complete syntax for a DDE

query cannot be specified in this document. For information regarding your DDE service and how to query information from it, refer to the documentation supplied with that product.

Chapter 9: Screen pops

● User-to-User Information (UUI) is a unique identifier that is added to an incoming call

through an external application, such as Avaya ASAI. To pass UUI, the Avaya communication server must have the Display UUI Information feature enabled. Additionally, the UUI feature does not support user-defined languages. This feature is only available for incoming calls, and it requires that a uui-info button is administered for the extension receiving the call.
