UCCX Silent monitoring

Hi,
I have a new client that is using UCCX 8.0.2.11003-10 and Call manager 7.1.5.31900-3. The Client want to perform silent monitoring on a 64 bit sys, but is not able to is there away to accomplish this.

Hi Curtis,
CAD is not supported on Windows 7 64 bit on 8.0 as per the compatibility matrix.
Win XP Professional SP2 (Please check Tech Tips & Release Notes)
Win XP Professional SP3
(Please check Tech Tips & Release Notes)
Win Vista (Ultimate, Enterprise, and Business) Windows 7 (Ultimate, Enterprise, and Professional)
If you check 8.5 it shows Win7 64 bit.

UCCX: Silent monitoring is not working and recorded file is also not playing

Hi,
Running UCM 8.5 cluster with UCCX 8.5.
In CSD, silent monitoring is not working.
Windows XP OS is running on supervisor desktop. when i select the agent
then the silent monitoring icon will highlighted once i click on the icon,
after 5-7 seconds i am getting an error "Silent monitoring session has
failed".
Not able to playback the recorded files:
I can able to record and the file size is 2.6mb for approximate 3min
recording.When i tried to play from supervisor record viewer it is playing
but no voice is coming. And i downloaded using play & save option and
tried to play the .wav file but i can't hear any voice.
Problem is while playing back the recorded file. I can able to see the
recorded files in the UCCX.
Please help me out!!!
Thanks & Regards,
Krishna

It's likely the same problem: CAD is not forwarding packets to CSD or the CCX recording service. Two common causes for this are:
The phone is not spanning to the PC port or does not allow PC Port VLAN Access. Change these options to true on the phone's configuration in CUCM.
The NIC of the agent's PC running CAD is not processing 802.1q-tagged Ethernet frames. It must not drop these and pass them into the Windows NDIS stack for CAD to get them. Google is your friend here; this commonly requires registry changes to make the NIC process the packets.

UCCX 8.5 Silent Monitoring using Citrix deployment

Hi all,
We are currently testing a citrix deployment in our contact centre and are looking to ensure we haven't lost any of the current functionality available to our managers when using a PC.
Unfortunately it would appear that silent monitoring doesn't work when using citrix - the option in CSD is greyed out
Does anyone have any experience of a citrix deployment and whether or not this functionality is supported on citrix?
kind regards
Paul

Hi
The default mode (Desktop Monitoring) requires that CAD can 'see' the stream to/from the phone. The phone/PC must be daisy chained and configured appropriately.
Typically in Citrix your server is remote, and CAD software running on the Citrix server is nowhere near the phone.
The only option you have for this is to set up SPAN/RSPAN on your switches to mirror traffic to the UCCX server. This was the server-side services sniff the traffic for recording/monitoring purposes. It can be tricky to set up, especially if you have a WAN deployment...

UCCX Finesse silent monitoring for direct dial calls

I completely understand that Finesse is geared towards the inbound contact center, at least for right now. Although I can't say the marketing materials really stress that. But I cannot understand the lack of silent monitoring for all call types. Currently silent monitoring only works for inbound calls from UCCX, and does not function for direct inbound calls, or direct dialed outbound calls.
From a system view, Finesse is using UCM's built in silent monitoring, via a very basic JTAPI command. There is very little engineering required to enable this functionality, and I truly thing is is a major limiting issue. Many customers in fact only want the ability to do silent monitoring and basic reporting, and Finesse would be a perfect product for this.
I am considering looking at putting together some custom scripts/web apps to engage the required JTAPI in CUCM via a Finesse Gadget, to replace the built in Finesse silent monitoring function. I'm curious if anyone has some input on how involved that might be, seems like I just really need to pass the monitoring DN and monitored DN through a JTAPI command.
More importantly, is there any hope for Finesse to support this natively? Or other outbound features? If it's a feature "in the works" we have a customer who might be able to "get by" using the Cisco Agent Desktop silent monitoring, but only if that is the case.
Good link on silent monitoring capability in Cisco Finesse: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/customer-collaboration/unified-contact-center-express/white-paper-c11-730883.html

We've got to delimit the problem.
When we use 3rd party recording solution there are 4 RTP flows: 1 incoming to monitored/recorded phone and 3 flows outgoing.
1 incoming RTP flows
- voice of remote phone
3 outgoing RTP flows
- voice of monitored/recorded phone
- voice of monitored/recorded phone sent to 3d party recording server
- voice of remote phone sent to 3rd party recording server
When we use a network analyzer we see that the agent running in the PC (UCCX 5.0) establishes two RTP flows for the monitoring session. But we can see that one of these flows sends 3 packet RTP per 1 packet RTP sent in the other RTP flow (in the same time).
We think agent sends to monitoring device all the outoing RTP packets of the phone (that belong to three different RTP flows), instead of sending only the RTP packets belonging to voice of monitored/recorded phone.
The other flow, voice of remote phone, sounds fine.
Is there a solution to avoid this problem when we monitor with UCCX 5.0 and record with a 3rd party software at the same time?
Thanks,
Christian

Silent Monitoring - UCCX 8.5 (Enhanced)

Hey All,
Is it possible to use Silent Monitoring without SPAN and/or without Quality Manager? I have found that Cisco's documentation on this topic to be very out of date or quite confusing.
If you refer to the reference below it states that it can be done without using SPAN but doesn't mention how this is achieved:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/UC7.0.1/features_apps/CMmonrec.html
Can anyone provide me with an comprehensive answer or point me to where I can find this?
Kind Regards,
Greg

UCCx 10.5 Silent Monitoring over WAN

I have a client that has agents in remote offices. They are using UCCx 10.5 HA, split between two data centers. MPLS network connecting all sites, bandwidth is not a concern. Some agents are using Citrix XenDesktop, so CAD is being utilized over a Citrix terminal. They want to start using Silent Monitoring on their agent calls. Is there a way to make this work over the WAN?
Thank you,
Ben

UCCX 10.5 HA, Silent Monitoring, no devices under CDA VoIP Monitoring Device

Hi
I'm configuring Silent Monitoring, but in UCCX CDA under Settings: Services Configuration > Multiline, Monitoring & Recording > VoIP Monitoring Device, there are no devices.
Note: I have CAD agents setup with IP Phone working properly. UCCX is "IN SERVICE", Cisco Desktop VoIP Monitor Service "IN SERVICE"
UCCX 10.5.1.10000-24
Let me know if someone had the same issue.
Regards
Carlito

Hi Carlito,
you need to agregate IP Phone that you want to monitor to RmCm User (Application user), in "Device Information/Controlled devices", and save.
Let me know if this information could help you.

Silent monitoring calls with CUCM 6.0 and UCCX 5.0

Dear all,
We have just integrated a 3rd party recording solution in our VoIP system, which consists of CUCM 6.0 and UCCX 5.0.
Until now we used the recording and monitoring solution of the UCCX for the agents. This worked ok.
But, as we wanted to record other people's calls and also the outgoing calls of the agents, we have created for them a Recording profile in the CCM and assign it to the agents phone.
We have also mantained the recording and monitoring active for them in the UCCX.
What is happenning now is the following:
- The 3rd party recordings works perfectly.
- The recording in the UCCX gets only one way audio.
- The silent monitoring gets only one way audio.
- If the 3rd party recording server is stopped, but the recording profile is stil active in the phones, the silent monitoring in the UCCX works.
Could any of you confirm if using a 3rd party recording solution the monitoring still works?
Is there any 3rd party silent monitoring software?
Thanks in advcance.
Best regards,
Amaia

When we use 3rd party recording solution there are 4 RTP flows: 1 incoming to monitored/recorded phone and 3 flows outgoing.
1 incoming RTP flows
- voice of remote phone

Silent Monitoring uccx 8.0 support to Windows 7, Hw 64bits

Hi Guys,
My Customer is testing the Silent Monitoring and have sucess with windows 7, hw 32 bits, but, didn´t work to windows 7, hw 64 bits. Is there any restriction about the PC be 64bits?
Thanks,
Wilson

Hi,
take a look at this:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6789/ps7046/ps7282/product_bulletin_c25-563280_ps5905_Products_Bulletin.html
There's a note:
>> WoW64 - Version 8.0, FCS Q1CY10 (Note: Desktop-based monitoring and recording is not supported)
Also, if you check the Compatiblity Guide, it says the same:
>> Desktop-based monitoring and recording is not supported in WoW64 mode
Well, it looks like for some reason it's not supported.

UCCX 7 silent monitor over Windows VPN

We have remote users that connect to our corporate network via Windows VPN. However we are unable to monitor these users when they work remotely. Get the "Silent monitor session failed. Not receiving voice from agent's phone" message. I'm pretty sure that Windows VPN is not supported by CCX 7 (Premium license). However wondering if anybody has found a way to circumvent this issue to enable remote users over WVPN to be monitored.

I presume you are using CIPC?
There is no NAT or other packet manipulation happening on the Microsoft VPN head-end is there?
Are you able to open telnet sessions on the ports used for recording from/to CAD and the CCX recording server? This is the most common issue where something is blocking these ports.

One more solution for Silent Monitoring Windows 7 64-Bit - ERROR VOIP2037 Unable to open the NIC adapter for sniffing.

Hi,
we are using UCCX 8.5 SU3.
After replacing the actual agent workstations with Windows 7 64-bit we had to face problems with the silent monitoring. (no sound at all and in the CSD the usual error popup "Silent Monitor-Session failed...").
In the CAD logfile I found the errorcode. "ERROR VOIP2037 Unable to open the NIC adapter for sniffing. Please reconfigure the installation."
After investigating the logfiles, starting postinstall.exe a hundred times and reading the Configuring and Troubleshooting VoIP Monitoring Guide.
I just learnt about the wonderful tool nicq.exe.
And so i found out that the driver spcd.sys wasn't installed.
Check in the registry for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SPCD"
It seems to me that the "Cisco Supervisor Desktop.msi" never installs the driver one a Windows 7 64-bit.
After starting the NICQ.EXE as administrator the driver is being installed.
Test 1: Check Driver Status
Driver not installed. Attempting to install it...
Driver has now been successfully installed.
SPCD Driver service is not running. Attempting to start it...
SPCD Driver service is now running.
Test 1: SUCCESS
And after that the silent monitoring works again like a charm.
Maybe that info help someone.
kind regards, sebastian

Excellent information, this has been driving me crazy for a while now. Once i saw this info I was able to get it resolved rather quickly.
+5 for you, (I tried to click it above but it would not let me.)

Agent Desktop Recording and Silent Monitoring with IP Communicator.

Reading through the forums I have seen several posts which make me think this should work, but I can't seem to get silent monitoring or recording using the agent desktop to work when the agent is connected through IP communicator. Currently I have help desk agents using extension mobility to log into 7962s that are connected to thier desktops running agent desktop connecting to UCCX 7.01. Silent monitoring and recording work fine with thier hard phones. When I install IP communicator on the PC and log into it using EM, the agent desktop takes control of the IPC just fine and will distribute calls to it, but my recordings are blank and silent monitoring from an supervisor station fails to initialize. Is there something I am missing in the configuration that is special when using IPC instead of a hard phone? Thanks in advance.

Couple of things I've learned about the CIPC and monitoring/recording:
No named devices. Use the SEP + Mac Address of the local Ethernet interface.
Ensure the Ethernet interface can be put into permiscuous mode.
Ensure you are NOT using a shared line appearance for the IPCC Extension.
If you are using CAD to do the monitoring/recording, launch the CIPC before you launch CAD
If you are using SPAN, ensure the CIPC RTP traffic will traverse the network where the SPAN interface is located.
If you are calling phone-to-phone, know that the CIPC will attempt to negoitiate G.722. UCCX cannot monitor/record G.722. Set the region or call to the PSTN where you can guarantee a G.711 or G.729 call.

Network interface cards tested with cisco agent desktop and CTI Toolkit Desktop Silent Monitor

Hi Guys,
My Customer is testing the Silent Monitoring, but, not is working. He is using the NIC Intel 82579LM, version 17.4 - 64 bits. I read the documentation the link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/voicesw/custcosw/ps5693/ps14/prod_system_requirements0900aecd800e3149.pdf
but, the reference is to version 7.1.3. My Customer work with UCCX and CUCM version 8.6. Are there one specific documentation about this version? The link don´t show the NIC tested by my Customer
Thank You,
Best Regards,
Wilson

Hi
I've done lots of deployments of this on UCCX, and still haven't found a NIC that doesn't work. I'm sure there are some, but they appear to be very rare.
If you can sniff the UDP when a call is in progress, it can work. If you can't, then it's usually down to configuration - e.g. non-phone-connected PCs, span-to-PC-port, PC vvvlan access, etc etc.

Finesse silent monitoring vs CUCM whisper coaching

Hi all,
My understanding is both of these function uses the same resources from CUCM which is the BIB. And the only way to do whisper coaching is through CUCM. So for all the supervisory function (silent monitor, barge, intercept), they will be able to use Finesse Supervisor but when they want to do whisper coaching they will need to use the IP Phone directly by doing silent monitoring first then do whisper coaching. Is that the correct flow?
If setup in such a way, will there be any conflict between Finesse & CUCM?
Thanks!
-JT-

You can check out the 3rd Party solution "MARS Silent Monitoring & Whisper App for CUCM" in Cisco Market Place
The solution requires only CUCM.It does not require Cisco UCCX/UCCE.
