1 Hardware

Hardware

The main component of DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions is the new R7csi model, which uses the TN798B processor (a RISC-based central processing unit) and TN2182B Tone-Clock. The TN798B supervises system operation.

Cabinets

Cabinets are enclosed shelves composed of vertical slots that hold circuit packs. Circuit packs make up the logic, memory, and switching circuitry for the system. Port circuit packs connect to telephones, computers, and trunks. The cabinets are designed to accept any type of port circuit pack in each circuit pack position.

The circuit packs fit into connectors attached to the rear of the slots. Every connector is connected to signal buses and power supplies in the cabinet. The cabinets also house the equipment that supplies ringing signal voltage and mass storage for software translations. Each compact modular cabinet has its own power supply and supports 10 universal slots. The first cabinet uses two slots for the processor and the tone clock.

• Up to three cabinets can be connected together in a single-port network.

• It enables small organizations to expand while keeping the initial investment

moderate.

• It is mounted on a wall. However, it can be mounted on a table or floor as long as

only one cabinet is required. For approved mounting configurations, refer to the Installation and Maintenance guide on the Library CD.

• It contains 10 universal port slots.

1 Software

Software

All DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions throughout the world use the same basic software. To provide this commonality while still accommodating wide variations in configurations and options, the system dynamically allocates internal memory storage. Memory is sized when the system is initialized, selecting the proper software parameters based on the hardware configuration.

In addition to the basic software, various optional packages can enhance the capabilities of the system. Some of the capabilities described in this document require op tional software, f or examp le, th e INTUITY AUDIX Voice Messaging System. See your account representative for more information. The basic software is a prerequisite for all the optional packages.

Digital DCP Telephones

Digital telephones using the Digital Communications Protocol (DCP) employ digital transmission for integrated voice and data signals and control signals. Tr ansmission is over a co nnection consisting of one o r two pair of wires. However, the 7400 Series telepho nes require four pair of wires. Each connection support s one signalling channel and two information (voice and data) channels.

DCP telephones are used most effectively by those who have a high volume of calls, require access to multiple applications or databases, use switch features heavily, or require messaging services. They can be used with personal computers to expand their capabilities .

These telephones provide the full range of DEFINITY ECS features on your desktop. In addition to multiline and multifunction capabilities, they provide access to integrated voice and data applications and messaging services. Some models include displays. DCP telephones can actually save you money by reducing the number of lines, modems, and ports that would n ormally be needed for analog facilities.

The following DCP telephones are available for sale:

• 6400 Series digital telephones

2 Attendant Consoles

DEFINITY PC Console

The DEFINITY PC Console is a software application that enables your call attendants to handle incoming

calls efficiently by personal computer. Using the familiar Microsoft® Windows® graphical interface, the attendants can easily keep track of how long callers have been on hold and for whom they are waiting. Attendants can monitor up to six calls at once. They need not fumble with pen and paper when handling calls, as they can make notes on their computers ab out what each caller n eeds. All this contributes to making a favorable first impression with your customers. Having the call processing software on the same computer with spreadsheet, word processing, or other software enables the attendants to stay productive between calls.

Your company directory is displayed on screen with busy extensions shaded. A variety of search functions are available, so attendants can find names and extensions easily. On-line telephone identification enables attendants to identify employees quickly . Calls are transferred with the press of a button. On-line help makes it easy for attendants to remind themselves how to use the system.

The PC Console is easily customized, so even if attendants from different shifts share the same computer, they can each preserve their preferences in the call processing environment. The PC Console is available in English, Dutch, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. If a Spanish-speaking attendant takes over for a French-speaking attendant, for example, a single press of a button converts all labels, error messages, and on-line help to Spanish.

4 Messaging Systems and Call Coverage

Messaging Systems and Call Coverage

The INTUITY AUDIX system and DEFINITY AUDIX system can be set up as the last points on a coverage path. Calls are then redirected to AUDIX if they are not answered by a previous station on the path. In addition, a secretary or messaging agent who answers a call can transfer a caller to the AUDIX system

“mailbox” of the original called party upon request. The caller may prefer to leave a voice mail message if the message is personal, lengthy, or highly technical.

Many other options are available for maximum flexibility. For example, a caller can choose to transfer from the system to an attendant or operator. Or the caller can transfer to another extension instead of leaving a message. Your company can choose to have an automated attendant answer calls to the company and direct these calls to the right department quickly, so callers do not have to wait on hold. With an automated attendant, callers can be instructed to enter keypad commands to d irect the call to the app ropriate point. This feature gives customers choice and control. It also enables you to make the most effective use of your personnel, while still providing your customers with the service they expect.

Integrating each of these products with your DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions measurably reduces overhead costs and improves efficiency — while ensuring that important calls are not lost.

LAN Link The LAN link allows the DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions system and the Lucent

INTUITY system to communicate over a private, dedicated LAN or using a

customer’s LAN. The DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions system is a server, and the Lucent INTUITY system is a client that always initiates the communications session. This link uses a LAN circuit card installed in the Lucent INTUITY system and a CLAN circuit pack (TN799) installed in the DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions system. The two systems use TCP/IP and a specialized DEFINITY protocol to communicate. The LAN link pr ovides the same functionality as a D CIU link.

Note: The DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions system must have Release 7 or later

software and must be equipped with a C-LAN circuit pack (TN799). The Lucent INTUITY system must be Release 4.4 or later and must be equipped with a LAN interface card.

DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions Release 2 Overview

555-235-100 Issue 2 June 1999 4-3

4 Messaging Integration

The DEFINITY Prologix Solutions system with Release 7 or later software can support two C-LAN circuit packs. Each C -LAN circ uit pack (T N799) can suppo rt 17 LAN ports per circuit pack. Of these ports, only one port supports an Ethernet connection required for use with the Lucent INTUIT Y system. The Lucent INTUITY system LAN link does not operate with the synchronous point-to-point protocol (PPP) provided by the other ports. The other ports can be used for other DEFINITY systems for PPP connections as part of a DCS network. (See Chapter 10 for further details about DCS using C-LAN.)

Mode Code The mode code (in band) link allows the Lucent INTUITY system and a DEFINITY

ProLogix Solutions system to communicate using the same analog telephone lines that connect the two systems for call answer and message retrieval. This integration uses touch-tone signaling, call-progress signals, and switch hook flashes over the ordinary tip and ring analog wiring to transfer information about the telephone call between the two systems. This integration does not require a separate link as needed for LAN integrations.

Table 2 summarizes the features available with the different types of integrations for DEFINITY systems.

* With “Basic Transfer”, calls transferred t o the switch look lik e direct calls from th e Lucent INTUITY system.

They follow the switch's coverage path for the “tran sfer-to” destin ation. With “Enha nced Transfer” , the Lucent INTUITY system provides the original calling and called party information, along with an indication of whether or not the switch should allow the call to follow the coverage path for the destination endpoint. Since basic transfer does not provide this information, it can potentially increase the risk of toll fraud. Always monitor your system for evidence of toll fraud and take corrective action immediately if you suspect that there may be a problem.

4 Centralized Messaging vs. Networked Messaging

DEFINITY AUDIX

The DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions system also supports the DEFINITY AUDIX Release 4.0 system, which is integrated with the DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions sy stem using Displays Set Integration. DEFINITY AUDIX Release 4.0 requires only one slot when slot 6 is used, otherwise it is a two-slot board.

Centralized Messaging vs. Networked Messaging

If your company has multiple DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions and/or other DEFINITY ECS systems, you can implement a multimedia messaging system (such as the INTUITY AUDIX system) in a centralized and/or a networked environment. With Release 7.1 DEFINITY software, DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions can now be a hub in a shared voice mail environment.

In a networked environment, two or more multimedia messaging systems can share information to allow messages to be shared across several DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions or other DEFINITY ECS systems. This networking can be performed using digital line connections to the systems or via Internet TCP/IP networking. If the DTMF Mode Code interface is used to the INTUITY AUDIX system, the amount of information that can be exchanged with the message is lim ited. For full functionality, LAN link integration using the C-LAN TN799 board with the multimedia messaging system is recommended.

4 INTUITY CONVERSANT

INTUITY CONVERSANT

The INTUITY CONVERSANT Voice Information System is an interactive voice-response system that automates telephone-call transactions from simple tasks like routing calls to the right department to complex tasks such as registering college students or providing bank balances. It communicates with customers in

natural-sounding, digitally recorded speech. And it performs — 24 hours a day and without the services of an operator.

The system can handle single or multiple voice-response applications simultaneously, and can serve up to 48 callers at once. It can operate by itself to dispense information or collect data, or it can work with a host computer to access a large database such as bank account records. With its speech-recognition capability, even rotary telephone users can have access to sophisticated telephone-based services. Advanced telephone features provide intelligent call-transfer capabilities and allow yo u to use the system in your existing telephone environment.

The system’s speech-recognition feature offers speaker-independent recognition of strings of digits and a standard vocabulary consisting of the digits 0 through 9, “oh,” “yes,” and “no.” With speaker-independent speech recognition, the system understands virtually any caller speaking American English. This differs from speaker-dependent recognition, which understands only one particular speaker.

DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions Release 2 Overview

555-235-100 Issue 2 June 1999 4-20

4 INTUITY CONVERSANT

INTUITY CONVERSANT Voice Information System also supports a text-to-speech option, a leading-edge technology developed by AT&T and Lucent Technologies. Text-to-speech uses computer-generated synthesized speech to help you automate applications that were previously impractical to implement with prerecorded digitized speech. It is particularly useful for applications that require access to large-volume databases or for applications that access information that frequently changes. The feature has built-in intelligence that enables it to

• read abbreviations accurately. For example, “Dr.” is spoken as “doctor” or

“drive,” depending on the context in which it occurs, and

• read numbers accurately. For example, the ZIP code, “11423,” would be read,

“One-one-four-two-three,” and not as, “Eleven thousand four hundred twenty three.”

You can also create new applications for the system by using the optional, easy-to-use CONVERSANT Script Builder, a menu-driven app l ication developmen t software packag e that gives yo u the too ls to create a custom voice-response application.

INTUITY CONVERSANT Voice Information System is installed on the MAP/100 platform, which provides support for many advanced features, such as speech recognition, text-to-speech, and ISDN capability.

keypad.

DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions Release 2 Overview

555-235-100 Issue 2 June 1999 4-22

4 Octel 100

• Information-on-Demand V-Trees provide multilevel menus of informatio n in a

mailbox. These menus can give callers 24-hour-a-day access to spoken (audiotext) and written (fax retrieval) information.

• Interview V-Trees enable you to conduct simple surveys by requesting and

collecting information from callers. All responses to an in terview V-Tree are grouped in a single voice message for playback by the mailbox owner.

• Call Screening asks for and announces the caller’s name to the called party who

can accept or reject the call or redirect it to another extension. If the called party rejects the call, the system informs the caller there was no answer at the exten sion and offers the caller the option of leaving a message, transferring to another extension, speaking with an operator, or disconnecting. This feature requires supervised transfers.

• Extension Directory allows callers who don’t know the extension number of the

person or department they need to reach access the system’s employee or departmental directory via touch-tone keypad. Once th e caller locates the co rrect party, the system automatically routes the call.

• Fax Mail allows users to retrieve faxes in their mailboxes at their

convenience—just like voice mail. When they’re in the office, users need just a single key press to direct the fax messages to the default fax machine. Faxes retrieved through Visual Mailbox can also be directed to print on a printer attached to the user’s PC. When they’re out of the office, users can enter the telephone number of the nearest fax machine and receive fax messages immediately.

• Global Group Lists allow users to send messages to all members of that user’s

division or company. These lists are created automatically when users are added or modified through system administration.

• Cascaded Outcalling (Message Notification) enables Octel 100 Messaging to

dial up to eight different telephone or beeper nu mbers when m essages arrive in a

user’s mailbox. Users can select the days and time frames when they want to be notified (for example, Monday th rough Friday, 10:00 am to 8:00 pm), the number where they want to be called, and whether they want to be notified for all messages or for urgent messages onl y.

• Visual Mailbox gives users a Microsoft Windows-based graphical view of their

mailboxes so they can use PCs to p e rfo rm many of the same tasks they now perform on their telephones.

• V isua l Architect™ gives system managers a graphical interface for creating V-

Trees in system and user mailboxes using tools such as pull-down menus, toolbars, and point-and-click mouse operations. System managers record

prompts to accompany the V-Trees using V-Edit™, Octel 100 Messaging’s powerful integrated voice editor.

5 Call Center Solutions

DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions Call Center applications are designed to connect each caller efficiently to the representative best suited to serve that caller. DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions begins the process by capturing information about the caller even before the call is routed. That inform ation is integrated with existing databases (see Chapte r 7, “Computer Telephony Integration Solutions ” ), and th e combi ned data is

used to match the caller to the agent. Additional DEFINITY features politely keep callers waiting in queue (a holding place for incoming calls) informed about how long it will probably take to process the call. Detailed call statistics are constantly available to the agents and th eir supervisors.

Calls coming into your DEFINITY ProLogix Solutions call center are queued up and routed based on information that the system continually acquires. Each of your customers can be presented with a variety of options for leaving a voice message, leaving a fax, or monitoring the status of his or her call. Using CONVERSANT voice response software, the system can even respond appropriately to spoken information.
