How Multimedia Call Center works for callers
When callers on a website click a voice button html image the “Call setup page for first-time
callers” on page 54 appears for first-time callers.
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 C all Center call types see “Multimedia Call Center call types” on page 8.
After a caller specifies their prefer enc es, t h e vo ic e but ton call enters the Call Cent er . Based on the
rules created by the Call 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 Call Center Administrator programs the se messages. The messa ges can thank
callers for t heir inter est, infor m th em that ther e are no agent s curr en tly a vaila ble, and t ell them t hat
they will be connected to the first av ailable agent.
When the call is answered by an agent, th e “The Mu lt imedia Call Center caller interface” on page
6 appears in the caller’s web browser.
The Multimedia Call Center caller interface
The caller interface has two windows. The first window lets the caller control the progress of the
call. The second window displays Multimedia Call Center messages and the web pages that an
agent sends to the caller.

How Multimedia Call 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 voice 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 push pages or screen
captures to the caller.
For a phone and browser call, the agent must answer the phone, and then the agent interface and
browser window appears on the agent’ s computer . For a browse r-onl y call, the agent interf ace and
browser window appears right away, so the agent cannot decline this type of call. The agent’s
browser window shows th e web page that the cal l er ori g i nal ly clicked to start the Multimedia Call
Center call.

Multimedia Call Center call types
Callers with a PSTN voice connection and a data connection, and callers with only a data
connection can have a multimedia session with a Multimedia Call Center agent.
PSTN voice and data calls
PSTN voice and data calls use agent-centric routing.
Agent-centric call
After a caller clicks voice button the C all Cen ter pho nes the c aller w hen an
agent is available. The Call Center then connects the call to the agent.
How an agent-centric PST N voice and data call works
For this type of call, the cal ler has a separat e PSTN voice an d inter net conne ction , and is not using
their telephone.
1The caller clicks the voice button icon on a web page.
2The call setup page “Call setup page for first-time callers” on page 54 appears for first-time
callers. If the caller is not a first-time caller, step 4 occurs.
3In this example the caller enters their phone number, name and area code. The caller can
specify that their call is:
•by browser only (a text chat with an agent)
•by phone and browser (a PSTN voice call and text chat with an agent)
4A request for an agent is sent over the IP network to the call center.
5While the caller is waiting web refresh html pages are displayed in their browser that
correspond to the announcement they would hear if they were on a PSTN voice call. A new
web page can be pushed for every Call Center announcement.
6When a Multimedia Call Center agent becomes available, the caller's phone rings.
7The caller answers the call.
8The Call Center routes the PSTN voice portion of the call to the Multimedia Call Center agent.
The agent's set rings and displays “www” to signify that the call is a voice button call.
9The 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 Multimed ia Call
Center agent interface” on page 7 appears in the agent’s browser and the “The Multimedia
Call Center c aller interface” on page 6 a ppears in the caller’s browser.
10 The agent pushes appropriate web pages to the caller. The agent can have a text chat session
with the caller. Text chat is controlled by the monitor parameter.

Chapter 1 About Multimedia Call Center 9
Data only call
For this type of call, the caller needs an Internet connection. A data only call can include text chat
and pushed web pages.
How a data only call works
1The caller clicks the voice button icon on a web page.
2While the caller is waiting web refresh html pages are displayed in their browser that
correspond to the announcement they would hear if they were on a PSTN voice call. A new
web page can be pushed for every Call Center announcement along with information such as
the number of age nts in t he sk ills et an d the numbe r of call s in the skil lset . For a fu ll list of CGI
parameters see the Multimedia Call Center Web Develo per Guide.
3When a Multimedia Call Center agent is availabl e “The Multimedia Call Center agent
interface” on page 7 appears in the agent’s browser and notifies the agent that they have a call.
4“The Multim edia Call Center caller interface” on page 6 appears in the caller’s browser.
5The agent pushes appropriate web pages to the caller. The agent can have a text chat session
with the caller.

Call Center settings. A user account lets users access their 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 exa mple is ABC Computer s has wee kly spec ials and wants to updat e thei r
information weekly. You can create a user account for ABC Computers that lets anyone who has
the user ID update their web pages.

Chapter 2 Setting up Multimedia Call Center 19
Assigning routing to Multimedia Call Center calls
You must assign how Multimedia Call 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 Call Center Web Developer Guide for details. You specify the skillsets to be used to
the web developer, who in cludes this information on the customized web pages for your company.
If you use Professional Call Center, you can also use the callback number information for a
Multimedia Call Center Call, to move the call to an other skillset or change the call’s priority
within the skillset. The callback number is processed by the CLID column .
Note: The skillset defined in the html tag is used unless there is an overriding rule in the
CLID/DNIS table.
How Multimedia Call Center calls work with Routing Tables
When you set up your Call Center, you create Day and Night Routing Tables for each skillset. To
route Multimedia Call Center calls effectively, you must understand how routing steps affect
Multimedia Call Center calls. For example, you can set up the Night Routing Table so that when
your Call Center is closed, Multimedia Call Center calls will transfer to a mailbox or another
number.
Before a Multimedia Call Center call is connected to an agent, these Intelligent Overflo w actions
disconnect the call in the caller’s browser and display a message to the caller:
•transfer t o Skillset mailbox
•transfer t o external or i nternal DN
•transfer to Automated Attendant
•transfer to Operator
Before a Multimedia Call Center call is connected to an agent, these actions route the call as
expected:
•Overflow to other skillsets
•Move to another skillset
•Change priority of call
For information abou t s ett i ng up Day and Night Routing Tables, refer to the Nortel Net w ork s Cal l Center Set Up and Operation Guide.

Assigning a callback route for Multimedia Call Center
A callback route must be set up for Call Cente r to connect to the caller’s phone. You can pr ogr am
the callback route on a per skil lset basi s by programmi ng the skillse t mailbox , or on a system-wide
basis 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 Call 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 Call 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 Call Center uses Pool A.
To assign a callback route for a skillset or the System Administrator
mailbox
1On CallPilot Manager, click the Mailbox Admi ni str ati on heading.
The Mailbox List page appears.
2Click the Change link for the mailbox that you want to assign a callback route to, either the
