Attendant Console in Multitenant Environment

Hi
Hopefully a quick question. A customer trades under multiple company names. They wish to have all four of the main DIDs coming to one Receptionist, using Attendant Console. Apparently, they have been told from someone at Cisco that it is possible to have AC show them which company is being called, i.e. which DID was originally called (obviously the translated to a DN), so as to allow the receptionist to answer the phone with an appropriate greeting for each firm.
I know that ARC Console does this very nicely, but the last time I looked at Attendant Console all it showed on each line was the calling number, not the called number!
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Many thanks
Marc

Hi Aaron
Many thanks for your reply. Can I make sure I have this correct in my mind? With broadcast hunting, and with multiple pilot points and associated hunt groups enabled, and the operator/s user ID being a member of all of such, then when a call comes in to any of these pilot points, they will display the calling number and the pilot point from which the call came to and was passed from to the Attendant Console? Without broadcast hunting, it would not be possible to see the origination point of the inbound call?
Am I correct on the above.
Many thanks for your clarification in advance. I will rate the post after this, I promise!

CME attendant console "lite" application?

Does anyone know of Windows-based software that will act as a busy lamp field for up to 100 phones in a CallManager Express environment and (as a secondary requirement) provide simple attendant console capabilities?
We are running a trial of Arc Solutions' ArcExpress software, and while it looks to be excellent software, it's overkill for this install. It's very restrictive on how the receptionist's phone must be configured, and it pretty much requires you to use the PC to handle all calls.
There are 75+ phones in this office, so a couple of 7914's wouldn't be enough.
Thanks

Standby, I'm working on something. I would appreciate if you can send me the requirements to the email address in my profile.

Virtualization of Business Attendant Console

Hello
Somebody knows if i can virtualize the application of business attendant console, working in the same physical server with other application as wireless control system, doesn't??
I would appreciate any help with regard to it.
Best regards,
Alexis Munoz

There's no technical limitation prevent you from doing that. But you'd better check with Cisco for supportability. ie. you might lose Cisco TAC support on virtualization environement.

IP Phone call forward to Attendant Console - reach Attendant Console Voicemail

Hello,
I have an old Attendant Console based on CUCM7.1(5) with CUC 9.
Most of my user have voice mail box.
My issue is following: Users forward there phone to AC pilot point during lunch time or meetings.
When a call is then transfered to Attendant Console, if it is not answered, it is redirected to Unity connection and reach User Voice Mail box.
This is the good way of working for all users (to reach first redirect number mailbox), but my customer wants in the particular case of calls forwarded to standard, to reach standard voice mail box.
How can we achieve this?
If I setup a Translation Pattern on CUCM to translate a dummy number into attendant console Pilot Point number, and forward user to this dummy number, does Translation Pattern replace the first redirect number?
Thanks for your help.

It is likely that they are transferring a call to the operator on a line they are not logged into instead of the queue.
All calls should be routed through the queue in order to receive full CTI control of that call, I would suggest you create a speed dial with the DN of the CTI Route Point for the operators queue and then transfer the call to that instead of the operator directly, this way the call sits in the queue with any other callers.

Unified Attendant Console - License and Remote Site

I need an Attendant Console solution for a 6 site IPT design. I have CUCMBE at the corporate site with 5 remote locations. I want to have an Attendant Console in each location. I was going to use the Business Attendant version, but see it only support 3 Queues, thoguht I had read it was 6 queues, so I guess I need to go with the Enterprise version.
1. To support 6 active clients, I need to order 6 licenses at $2950.00? Seems awful expensive compared to the old Attendant Console...
2. Queues would need to be created for each site, Business only has 3, but Enterprise has 50?

Hehe Chris, you're right. I've always thought that this is only the language for the installation details, but I've just tried it on my PC.
Thanks a lot.

Attendant Console 6.1.2 (yeah, I know it is unsupported)

So knowing full well that this is an unsupported software, I am reaching out anyway. I find myself in a pickle at my new company. We are still running Call Manager 6.1.5.11900-13 (don't ask) and we have many users using Attendant Console.
Last week, the line status of all the consoles changed to blue question marks. The phone control function of the application works great, just no line status.
We have restarted AC and CTI services on entire cluster, pointed the AC clients to multiple servers for testing, and uninstalled and reinstalled the AC client. Tonight we are punting and rebooting the Publisher.
Anyone out there unfortunate enough to be running this, and maybe have a suggestion to fix?
A suggestion to upgrade would be sound, but won't be happening for now.
Commence the laughing!

They usually do not simply "die" like this. Id check for any replication issues with your cluster first off.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_tech_note09186a00809643e8.shtml
Next, I would simply build an entire new AC in CUCM and try to use this one. I have had luck in the past with this where the only way I could get it to work was to delete everything off it that AC used. Pilot points, RPs, etc. Then rebuild it.Sounds odd, yes.
I find it odd though it stopped working with no changes in the network, CUCM configurations, etc.

How to identify inbound location on a centralized Attendant Console?

I'm trying to find a way to be able to identify for our centralized receptionists the location of the inbound calls.
We have 16 sites set up with Cisco routers as h323 gateways each pointing all incoming calls to the main phone line to a separate AC pilot point in CCM 4.13sr3b. Is it possible to have the dialpeer put some sort of description tag that the receptionists can see on attendant console when the call comes in that says where/which site this phone call is coming in from? Or display the queue it is coming in on?
Any ideas on this would be appreciated. I'm trying to avoid going down the IPCC path to provide this functionality since Cisco won't support IPCC and attendant console running simultaneously.
Bottom line is we have a multi site CM deployment where all inbound calls going to a central group of folks running attendant console and we need to be able to discern which pilot point or voice gateway the call is coming in on.
I appreciate any thoughts on this!!
Ryan

One way to do this if you don't care about the caller ID of the calling party, would be to tranform the calling number to DN of the Pilot DN by using Translation Patterns. Basically the GW's CSS would not have access to the AC Pilot, but to a TP that transforms the calling party and redirects to the AC Pilot.
HTH, please rate all posts!

Attended Xfer on A SPA500S 32 Button Attendant Console

I have a CISCO 504G with a SPA500S 32-Button Attendant Console. I had this all configured just the way I like it, when I had to remove the Attendant Console for a recent move. Now I have my console all programed with all my speed dials (employee extensions and cell numbers) but I can't transfer a call. When I called my VoIP carrier, Vocalocity, they said it can't be done. When I first got my sidekick, they told me the same thing. I then called Cisco and they told me exactly how to configure it to be able to perform an Announced transfer so I know its possible. I need to be able to let my employee know who is calling before I transfer the call. Can anyone help me?

We just installed an new system with the SPA508g phones and the SPA 500s Side Car and are having the same monitoring issues. We have notified our support and they have been tweeking our system quite a bit. If this is a known issue why is CISCO not resolving it. Does CISCO monitor these forums?

Issue when I upload CSV file for insert contact list on Cisco Attendant Console Advanced

Hi Friends,
I have error "Provided file is not valid CSV File" when I upload CSV file to Cisco Attendant Console Advanced system. I'm not sure what happen about my CSV. My purpose is insert contact list to system and create CSV base on documentation.
Anyone have idea to solve this issue please kindly help me.
Thanks

You are right, whenever Cisco device boots, the IOS files gets loaded on the DRAM.
But in this process, some temporary files are also generated which gets saved in the flash/Disk, that’s the only reason you got these error messages. It’s not recommended at all to have less space in the Flash than what is recommended on Cisco.com. I would say please remove some files from Disk and have minimum 256 MB flash otherwise your router may drop into rommon mode at the time of next reload.
Well, it’s good to upgrade the bootstarp image too. Currently you are running 15.X IOS code, I would say run 15.X bootstarp image on the box.
You may download bootstarp image for 7206VRX NPEG2 from the link below:-

Download of Attendant console 8.0.3.9?

Looking for a download Attendant console 8.0.3.9 which seems to be the last version that supports CM 7.1.3 that I can install temporarily when we do a jump upgrade from 7.1.3 to 9.1.2 and install the newly purchased Attendant Console.
The timeframe for using the older version would be a week or two at most which will be fine for the temp license.
Did not find it on the Download areas.
Thanks

Not sure if you can get old versions, but did you check under Cisco.com/go/ac

Unity -- Best practice for Attendant Console and Operator

I am fairly new to Voice Over IP. I am in a new position for managing our phones, e.g., Moves, Adds, Changes and Call Handler management. We use version 8.6.2.
Our system is comprised of 19 different buildings, with 1 to 2 Attendant Consoles per building. When our phone network was set up, people who have Attendant Consoles did not want callers to have the option to leave a message if someone is away from their Attendant Console momentarily. Is this best practice? What are most companies doing with their setups?
In addition, in what capacity is the Operator account of value or can it be deleted? We have discovered that if people choose the System Directory Handler, they can "find" their way to the Operator voicemail by pressing "0" and leave a message. However, this voicemail box has not been monitored, thus their are over 300 messages in it.
I know I will have other questions, but if someone has a a good way of setting this up, I would be very thankful.
Laurel

I'll give it a go!

You can't actually delete the Operator (It's a default User Account). Just go into the System Directoy Handler, click edit > caller input > if you're feeling bloody minded, choose "hang up" on the "If Caller Presses 0", otherwise either create a new call handler or point it to an existing one.

I have to deal with both situations. Some locations refuse a voice mail, some want it. It's normally at the wish of the department head. Just make sure that call does not ring forever or otherwise make the caller upset.

Unified Business Attendant Console not syncing user directory

I have a customer that has CallManager 8.6.1 along with the Unified Business Attendant Console 8.6.1.9. They are not syncing their user directory with LDAP. All end users are put in manually via the CCMAdmin page. This system has been in place since January. In the past few months, around eight or so new users have been added to call manager, but they were not showing up int the attendant console. I tried everything from restarting services to eventually restarting the server and the new users finally showed up. I thought the reboot had fixed the issue, however I had them add a new user to call manager and even after waiting a few hours the new user did not show up. This is my first time dealing with the attendant console server so any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you have setup a schedule in the WebAdmin for the sync to run, I normally set a schedule of running this Every 1 day at 02:00, this is when the sync will be done and the new users will show.
Restarting the server is forcing a new sync, this should not be needed if the schedule is configured correctly.

I have added two new extension on CUCM, Directory not showing in attendant console even after resynch on CUCM and attendant cosn

I have added two new extension on CUCM, Directory not showing in attendant console even after resynch on CUCM and attendant cosnole
Any idea?

Hello,
Can you tell us what versions of CUCM and CUxAC you are using? Just extensions alone in CUCM will not sync to the corporate directory within the attendant console application. You will at least have to have user's associated with those extensions and depending on your rule set within the console that should then bring those extensions into the console directory.
Thanks,
Tony

Directory not showing in attendant console

Under Engineering ----Service Management,can u check LDAP service is running.
