System Overview

Introduction

Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting is a Windows® software application that provides Real Time statistics and comprehensive management information on the day-to-day performance of your Business Communications Manager 2.5 or CallPilot 100/150 Call Center system.

Within this document the phrase ‘the Call Center platform’ is used to refer to either the Business Communications Manager 2.5 or the CallPilot 100/150

Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting helps you manage the peaks and troughs in call traffic. The following Real Time information is available:

• Call waiting times

• Queue length (that is, the length of the queue of calls waiting to be answered in your

• Agent status

System software

The software that sends data to Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting is integral to the Call Center and the Call Center platform. The Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting software has two separate components: the user interface (known as the Graphical User Interface or GUI) and the RDB Server.

The user interface is used to configure Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting and to view the management information.

One PC on your network must be running the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client software (known as the Master Client). This is the PC which communicates with the Call Center application. The Master Client PC gathers information (called event data) from the Call

Issue 07 Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Set Up and Operation Guide

System Overview

Center platform and stores it on the hard disk of the Master Client PC. It is this stored information which provides the data for the reports.

The RDB Server is the program used to gather and store the event data sent from the Call Center platform. The RDB Server must be running whenever statistical data needs to be collected. For

this reason, it is recommended that the RDB Server is operational at all times.

There can be only one PC on your network running the Master Client software. However,

so that other users may view the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Real Time screens and access the reports, other PCs on your network may be loaded with the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Multiple Client software (known as Multiple Clients).

Multiple Client PCs communicate with the Master PC, they do not communicate with the Call Center platform directly. For Multiple Clients to operate correctly the RDB Server must be running on the Master Client PC. For this reason it is recommended that the RDB Server is

operational at all times.

Both Master Client and Multiple Client PCs may be used to change the configuration of the Call Center Reporting software, to view and print reports and to display the Real Time screens.

DO NOT INSTALL BOTH SETS OF CLIENT SOFTWARE ON A SINGLE PC. ONE PC ON YOUR NETWORK SHOULD BE NOMINATED AS THE MASTER CLIENT PC. ANY OTHER PC WHICH WILL RUN THE CLIENT SOFTWARE MUST BE RUNNING THE MULTIPLE CLIENT

SOFTWARE. NO PC MAY BE USED TO RUN BOTH TWO SETS OF SOFTWARE.

IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER OR CALLPILOT INSTALLATIONS AT YOUR PREMISES CONNECTED TO A SINGLE NETWORK, THEN YOU CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE MASTER CLIENT, BUT EACH MASTER CLIENT MUST BE DRIVEN

BY A SINGLE BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER OR CALLPILOT.

PC requirements

The minimum requirements of the PC required to run Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting software (either as a Master Client or Multiple Client) depends upon whether or not the PC is dedicated to running Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting, or if it shares its resources with other applications.

Installing Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting

Introduction

This chapter describes installation prerequisites, how to install the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master and Multiple Client software, troubleshooting tips and the folders created on the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master and Multiple Client PCs.

Installation prerequisites

Before you install Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client software, you must:

1. Be familiar with the Call Center and the Windows

2. Ensure that the Call Center is installed and configured.

3. Ensure that the Call Center platform is connected to, and is operational on, the Network to

which the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client PC is connected.

4. The Master Client Address has been set in the Call Center Platform, and the Call Center

Reporting Software Authorization Code has been entered. (The Master Client Address is found in CallPilot Manager under Call Center, General Properties.)

The Master Client Address is the address where the real time data stream for Call Center

Reporting purposes is delivered. You must enter either the host name or the IP address of the computer that is running the Call Center Reporting Master Client.

The Master Client Address appears only if you use Call Center Professional on a Business

Communications Manager 2.5 system, or if you have purchased and enabled the Call Center Reporting Software Authorization Code. Contact your service representative if you are interested in the Call Center Reporting Software Authorization Code.

Now you are ready to install the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client software from the Call Center platform.

For Windows 2000 and Windows NT PCs, you must have Administrator’s rights for the installation to be successful. If you do not have Administrator’s rights for

the PC on which you wish to install Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting, contact your network or PC Administrator, and request that they install the software for you.

operating system used by your PC.

Issue 07 Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Set Up and Operation Guide

Installing Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting

Installing Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client software

Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client software automatically creates a folder called \Program Files\Nortel Networks\Call Center Reporting on the installation drive of the Master Client PC. This folder contains the application files used by Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client. It also contains the Call Center Reporting configuration database.

Another folder is created on the hard disk drive of the Master Client PC, inside the folder mentioned above. The second folder is called \Program Files\Nortel Networks\Call Center Reporting\Stats, and contains the stored statistical data. This folder is not created on the Multiple Client PCs.

Do not rename, move or delete these folders (although you may need to change the Network Share Name of the \Program Files\Nortel Networks\Call Center Reporting folder: see page

16).

Note: Before Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting will operate correctly, you must enable

the Call Center Reporting Software Keycode. For Software Keycode information, refer to the Software Keycode Installation Guide.

TCP/IP Protocol

The Call Center platform and Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting use the industry standard TCP/IP protocol for communication between the Call Center and the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client PC, and also for communication between the Master Client PC and the Multiple Client PC(s). This means the Windows Network component is required for all Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Client PCs, both for the Master Client and for the Multiple Clients.

The Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting installation process does not install the Windows Network component. For instructions on installing the Windows Networking component, refer to your network or Windows documentation.

Checking whether The Windows Networking Component Is Installed

To check that the Windows Network component is set up properly on a PC in order for it to operate as a Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master or Multiple Client PC, the following steps must be performed:

Note: If your company has a network administrator, check with your administrator before

changing any network configuration parameters.

Applying Security to the Call Center Reporting Shared Folder

To prevent unauthorised access to the Call Center Reporting folder, you may specify which users can connect to the folder, and what control they have once they have connected. This is achieved by use of the Windows security features.

Whilst it is not a functional requirement that the Call Center Reporting folder be protected using any of the Windows security features, it is recommended that the shared folders are given some measure of protection.

This will prevent access to the Call Center Folder from unauthorised users. Also, some viruses are known to take advantage of un-protected shared folders as a means of gaining entry to networked PCs in order to infect them.

Your Network Administrator may advise you of which Windows features to use, but listed below are typical scenarios involving Windows 95/98 and Windows NT/Windows 2000.

Troubleshooting Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting

If the Master Client (including the RDB Server) is closed down and then restarted, Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting will restart with no knowledge of any Agents who are still Logged In to the Call Center, nor will it have any knowledge of any Calls which are already in progress.

The system will log Agents back in automatically if they are available to answer calls. If they are not available to answer calls they will be logged back in automatically when they become available to answer calls.

Calls that were in progress when Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting was re-started will not be recorded in the statistics. All new calls which arrive into the system once Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting has been re-started will be recorded in the statistics. The same situation will occur if the Call Center is closed down and restarted, and Agents Log In to the Call Center before the Master Client software has been restarted.

The following procedures explain how to recover from data loss between the Call Center and the Master Client PC. For each situation, perform the steps in order.

Starting or Restarting the Call Center and Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client

When starting the system for the first time, or intentionally restarting the system after a controlled power down:

1. Start the Call Center platform.

2. Start the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client.

Note: If agents are allowed to log in before step 2 is completed, their activities before the Nortel

Networks Call Center Reporting has re-started will not be recorded.

To recover from an unintentional close-down of the RDB Server:

1. Shut down Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client.

2. Ensure that the Call Center is still running.

3. Restart Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master Client.

4. Agents who are not currently logged into the system may now log in.

Note: If agents are allowed to log in before step 3 is completed, or if there are agents who were

logged into the Call Center before the RDB Server was closed down, their activities before the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting has re-started will not be recorded.

Starting or Restarting the Call Center and Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Multiple Client

If you have Logged In to Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting on a Multiple Client PC and the Call Center platform has been restarted, you will have to Log Out and Exit from the Nortel

Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Set Up and Operation Guide Issue 07

Installing Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting

Networks Call Center Reporting, and re-start Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting once the Call Center platform has been re-started.

If you had selected the Access to Configuration option before the Master Client PC was re-set, you might see the following dialog box when you try to Log In again with the Access to Configuration option selected.

Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Access to Configuration Denied dialog box

Check that no other users have Logged In with the Access to Configuration option selected.

If there are no other users Logged In with the Access to Configuration option selected the restriction placed on the Access to Configuration option will time-out after 15 minutes. Wait for 15 minutes and then re-try.

Run Time Error 3043 When using Windows 2000 or Windows NT

If you see the following error message when you try to start Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting:

Statistical Calendar showing in a different Language than the rest of Call Center Reporting

If you see the calendar within Call Center Reporting in a different language to the rest of Call Center Reporting (for example, you might have selected German at installation time, and the calendar is showing in English), this section will help you to correct the problem.

The calendar is a Microsoft supplied component, held in a file called MSCAL.OCX. It is available in various languages. If Call Center Reporting has been installed once in a given language, subsequent installs of other languages might not overwrite this file with the version required for your language.

To install a different language on top of a previous language version of Call Center Reporting, it might be necessary to delete or (rename to something like OLDMSCAL.OCX) the previous MSCAL.OCX file from the Windows\System32 (or WINNT\System32) folder, before performing the installation.

Also note that Microsoft Office loads a version of the MSCAL.OCX file into \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office. If you have Office in one language and Call Center Reporting in another, Windows will use the Office version of the MSCAL.OCX in favour of the Call Center Reporting supplied one.

Windows Socket Upgrade for Windows 95 PCs

If you are using a PC running Windows 95 (version B or later) and you have difficulties connecting to the Call Center Platform or see sporadic or slow updates to the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Real Time screens, you may require an upgrade for the Windows Sockets components for your PC.

Download the W95ws2Setup.exe file from the following Microsoft World Wide Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/ w95sockets2/default.asp.

(Right click on the PC desktop, and select Properties from the pop-up menu. Select the Settings tab, and adjust your colour settings to suit.)

Folders created on the Call Center Reporting Multiple Client PCs

Unless you choose to select a different installation destination during the installation of the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Master and Multiple Client software, a folder will be automatically created on the installation drive of the PC called \Program Files\Nortel Networks\Call Center Reporting. This folder will contain the application files used by Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting.

If you do choose an alternative destination during the installation process, your folder will have the name you selected.

Do not rename, move or delete this folder.

Note: There is no folder called \Program Files\Nortel Networks\Call Center Reporting\Stats

on the PCs used to run Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Multiple Clients.

These PCs refer to the data in the \Program Files\Nortel Networks\Call Center Reporting\Stats folder on the Master Client PC in order to display statistical information.
