Application Notes for Computer Telephony Solutions
OAISYS NetSuite 4.2 with Avaya IP Office 2.0, Issue 1.0

Abstract

These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required for Computer Telephony
Solutions OAISYS NetSuite to successfully interoperate with the Avaya IP Office. The
OAISYS NetSuite is a business productivity software suite designed for small and medium­sized companies. OAISYS NetSuite features include trunk side call recording, intelligent call
routing using ANI and DNIS and a desktop phone application to allow users to make, receive
and manage calls on their existing telephone. Features and functionality were validated and
performance testing was conducted in order to verify operation under load. Information in
these Application Notes has been obtained through interoperability compliance testing and

additional technical discussions. Testing was conducted via the DeveloperConnection

Program at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

1. Introduction

These Application Notes describe the compliance-tested configuration utilizing Avaya IP Office

2.0 and Computer Telephony Solutions OAISYS NetSuite 4.2.

Computer Telephony Solutions (CTS) OAISYS NetSuite 4.2 is a business productivity software
suite designed for small and medium-sized companies. OAISYS NetSuite 4.2 includes the
following components:

OAISYS Net Server – A software server component that links to the TAPILink Pro and
DevLink Pro interfaces of the Avaya IP Office. The Net Server allows all other OAISYS
components to utilize and share the TAPILink Pro and DevLink Pro interfaces over the LAN.

OAISYS Tracer – A call-logging product that passively taps on the trunk side of the Avaya IP
Office to record telephone calls. The Tracer connects via TCP/IP to the OAISYS Net Server to

receive DevLink Pro information about calls.

OAISYS Call Router – An intelligent call routing product that allows calls to be routed to the
appropriate destination using telephone number (ANI/CallerID), DNIS, time of day, caller-

supplied information, etc. The Call Router uses the IP Office TAPILink Pro and DevLink Pro

links obtained by the Net Server to monitor calls to an Avaya IP Office route point (i.e., hunt
group number) and then immediately re-routes the calls based on the customer configuration.

OAISYS Voice Assistant – An integrated IVR product that provides a ‘voice interface’ for the
Call Router so that callers can be prompted for their main telephone number, customer number,
etc. The Voice Assistant connects to one or more analog station ports on the Avaya IP Office to
interact with callers.

OAISYS Net Phone – A desktop phone application that allows users to make, receive, and
manage calls on their existing telephone. Net Phone provides screen pops and database dialing
to/from most of the popular contact manager, CRM, PIM and database applications.

The tested configuration is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: CTS OAISYS and Avaya IP Office Configuration

For the purpose of these Application Notes, the Avaya IP Office and CTS OAISYS components
were configured as described below. For additional information about available features, please
refer to the appropriate Avaya IP Office and/or Computer Telephony Solutions product
documentation.

Avaya IP Office:

• Four analog station ports, x225 – x228, were connected to the Dialogic 4-port analog
board for use with the OAISYS Voice Assistant.

• Hunt group named ‘CallRouteHunt’ was defined using extension 100 for use with the
OAISYS Call Router.

• All inbound calls (analog and T1 / PRI trunks) were routed to the CallRouteHunt hunt
group.

CTS OAISYS Call Router:

• Configured to monitor all calls to ‘CallRouteHunt’ hunt group extension 100 and process
as follows:

o Check incoming call information.

 If the call was missing CallerID information, Call Router launched CTS

OAISYS Voice Assistant script to prompt the caller for his/her telephone
number.

o Search database for match on incoming CallerID.

 If match to ‘[phone]’ was found, Call Router diverted caller to

extension 2501.

 If no match was found, Call Router launched CTS OAISYS Voice

Assistant script to prompt the caller for extension number to transfer to.

CTS OAISYS Voice Assistant:

• Configured to map each Dialogic port to the extension number assigned to the port.

CTS OAISYS Tracer:

• Passive tap was set up on PRI/T1 and analog trunks.

• Configured to record all trunk calls.

CTS OAISYS Net Phone:

• Installed on end-user’s PC.

• Configured to control end-user’s extension.

• Configured to look up incoming CallerID in end-user’s Outlook Contacts list.

1.1. Compliance Test Notes / Observations

CTS OAISYS Tracer:

• Trunk-side recording only: Station to station calls do not get recorded by Tracer. Only
calls involving a tapped trunk can be recorded. This is the case for station trigger
recordings too.

• Playback through Phone not supported: Tracer does not support playback of trunk
call recordings through user’s phone.

• Playback of recording very low: Tracer playback of analog trunk call recordings was
very low. Recording gain was increased on the card for easier listening but this required
modifications at the board driver level and restarting the driver.

• Station trigger recording fails on outbound calls: Tracer, when set up for station
trigger recording, fails to record outbound calls. Computer Telephony Solutions reports
they fixed this problem in the next version of Level2 for Avaya IP Office (1.0.6).

CTS OAISYS Call Router:

• Call Router diverts calls: Call Router ‘diverts’ or ‘forwards’ calls to destination
extensions according to previously defined rules. If the call recipient does not answer the
call, the call will go to coverage on the Call Router Hunt Group’s voicemail (if Voicemail
is left on for the hunt group), not the call recipient’s voicemail.

CTS OAISYS Net Phone:

• Initiating Conference Calls not supported: Net Phone does not support initiating
conference calls.
