Audio problems in Attendant Console 6.0.1

Hello
I have installed a CUCM 6.0.1 and is trying to set up Attendant Console. I've set up the Pilot Point as a Broadcast Hunt.
Everything is working just fine and the incomming calls show up in the Broadcast call queue, except audible alerts. No matter what .wav file I choose (the default one or a custom) it just playes the first Â½ second or so of the file, and then it's silent.
The attendant console is running on a brand new pc running Windows XP SP2 (HP compaq dc7800p ultra-slim PC). I tried installing af VMware workstation on the pc and then brought up a Windows XP VM, in which the audible alerts worked just fine, so I think it's something with the Attendant Console client not being compatible with the Soundcard in the PC (a Soundmax HD audio something).
Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong and how to resolve my issue ???

Don't think it is your PC's that are faulty , i have had a TAC case open on this issue for some time now - have recognised it as a defect , and it is currently pending release ,
CSCsm73933 - the bug id is not view-able yet , don't know if it will be
if / when TAC gives me a ES , i will let you know the version so you can request it from them
let me know if this helps

Attendant Console will not load GUI

I'm running into a problem with Attendant Console version 6.1.2_c wherein when I launch the program and provide my credentials, the GUI disappears but acclient.exe can be seen running in Task Manager and using 50% CPU. If I login as a different user, I can get into Attendant Console fully without issues. Normally I would suggest that the user simple recreate their profile however in this case, it would be painful to lose the profile. Has anybody come across this issue and, if so, is there a way to correct this issue without losing the profile. NOTE, I have tried all of the obvious things like uninstalling and reinstalling the application and I've compared the working profile to the one that doesn't work and nothing has panned out.
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks guys, worked. My issue was that after using the help feature "?" after utils service restart "?", it just said serv. There wasn't a list of options. But obviously just doing Cisco Tomcat I was good. Thanks again.

Attendant Console unable to change MAC address

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with attendant Console that's rather annoying and i'm unable to get it to work!
When I attempt to connect using the software the sw returns the error "Not a valid device. Specify another device", and I find that I don't get an option to select anything other than the Person_DeviceProfile rather than the MAC address of the phone they are logged on to. I also found that in the xml file under the data folder in Windows gets populated with Person_DeviceProfile too - but overwriting this with the MAC address of the phone has no effect.
Interestingly enough is that if I were to log out of EM, and use the extension number of the logged out phone in Attendant Console, it works fine and as expected. It's as if the Device Profile has no concept of access to the phone.
So far I have made sure that all devices are associated with the ac user; I have associated the physical phone with the End user (as well as the device profile obviously), and also done the usual uninstall/install of sw and restart of services.
Version is CallManager 6.
Any other suggestions? Much appreciated!

We soon discovered two other bugs that were supposedly fixed in previous versions of CUCM.
We found the following bugs other than the one described here, in version 6.0.1.3000-7:
- Adding a new device profile to CUCM causes ccm.exe to hang. Symptoms include phones refusing to register correctly when logging in/out of EM, and CFWD all not responding.
- Device profile Service URL is being overwritten by the actual devices' SURL. The symptom presents itself as the service URL that was being shown on the phone when the phone is EM logged out can still be seen when the phone has been logged into EM.
All three bugs were fixed when Cisco TAC provided us with patch UCOS_ES_6.0.1.3103-1

Hi Matt
There are so many things that can go wrong.
How did You go from (iMovie?) to iDVD.
- using the Share/export to iDVD from within iDVD
- dropping the project QT movie into an open iDVD theme window ?
Version of OS, iMovie, iDVD and QT ?
What brand of DVD disks ?
Anything connected to Your Mac during burning process ?
Any other programs running under process ?

Attendant Console for CUCM 8 and above, My Solution.

I work for a community college in which we employ a full time operator and have several people to fill in for breaks and vacations. Having an attendant console is very important. To complicate matters, we need to have more that the corperate directory in the console for numbers such as departments (Admissions, Financial Aid, etc.) as well as fax numbers and other references.
The attendant console that Cisco provided up untill version 8 met our needs. We upgraded and purchased CUEAC. And for 3 grand, we got a pile of crap with only one seat. The big problem is that it does not support directory integration, does not support incremental search, and has one of the worst implementation designs I have yet to see.
We have tried many consoles, all lacking in one area or another. The one that best met our needs was the most expensive, and had the smallest feature set. We could not justify spending money on somthing that is not at least as good as the free product that cisco once offered.
My crazy solution: Use CUCMAC (Assistant Console). For reference, we have UCCX with Basic Seats (No Desktop Agent).
Cons: Does not support imcremental search or directory integration.
Pros: Free, Unlimited seats, one search entry searches all fields.
Implementation:
Created a dummy "Manager" which allowed me to be able to create "Assistants" (operators).
At this point each person that is to act as an operator can now log into this software with their network username and password (we are LDAP Integrated). They can see and control the lines on their phones, and the software is almost identicle to the Attendant Console Software they were use to.
Created and ACD queue for the operator and added an ACD DN to each phone. The users go Ready and Not Ready using the IPPA.
In our situation, we have the full corperate directory, which for most companies is fine. In our case we need additional numbers for the Departments and such. Becuase we are LDAP integrated, we will need to sync to an additional Directory source for the missing numbers. I wish we could use " Contacts" in AD, but becuase they dont have user ID's, cisco will not import them.
To summarize operation, the operator logs into the ACD queue and used Assitant Desktop as a user interface for the phone. The only thing that differs from Attendant Console, is that you have to use the phone to log in and out, not the desktop software.
Please let me know what you thing, and any ideas how to improve this setup would be greatly appreciated!

Bradley,
I cannot comment on the implementation you have gone through but I can comment on your comments about CUEAC.
There is going to be a new release in June this year which will support directory integration directly to AD as well as the CUCM sync which is available today.
The GUI iteself is to undergo a redesign in version 10, the date on this release is not yet known.
Incremental search is something which is not on the roadmap but is something I will discuss with the Product Manager to see if it can be considered.

Attendant Console "failed to make a new call" error.

I have a problem with the error message "Failed to make a new call" in multiple instances with Attendant Console. The first time this error comes up is if the first hunt group member does not answer the call and it goes to the next member. It only displays on the first member console. If I change the hunt group order, it still comes up on whomever is first on the list. This message also comes up whenever any Console user makes an invalid call which is expected but irritating to the users.
Can I disable these error messages completely? It is highly annoying since these error messages can stack up and have to be cleared by pressing "OK" before the user can click on the screen again.
TAC has not resolved the first error yet but everything works fine.

Hi Luigi,
Thanks for the update. Even i had opened a TAC. In my case, we have configured Hunt Pilot, from where the call is routed to the members in the hunt group. But TAC says that the Attendant console never uses HUNT PILOT to take calls. So it has to be PILOT POINT which has to be configured for Attendant console to take calls.
We had configured in this fashion, because the AC stops working often. Even though it shows, 'activated in the control center. Manually the service has to be restarted on all the nodes. And all the callers will get busy tone when they try reaching the reception.
As an action plan, we need to revert to PILOT POINT configuration and do the testing again. So If found that the pop-up is not coming anymore, then TAC will work on fixing the AC service failing issue.
Hope this helps and will keep you posted on the updates.
Regards,
Karthikeyan.

Unified Communications Attendant console: queue does not show in the client

Hello,
I have Cisco Unified Attendant Console - Department Edition 9.1.1.10 in conjunction with CUCM 9.1.1.
My problem is that when I login with the operator account to the client the queue does not show up as expected.
I have configured the queue, synchronized with CUCM, i can see it in CUCM under device/CTI route point, i have associated the queue to the operator in user configuration queue association.
but when i login as the opeartor to the client i can not see it.
any help is apreciated.
thanks

Hi,
This is working correctly, as you can only associated a single queue (department), this is not displayed in the operator console client.
You only see the queue list in Business, Enterprise or Premium Edition.

SPA500S Attendant Console BLF and Broadsoft NOT working on firmware 7.4.6

Like many of us, for many years now, have continous problems with the Cisco SPA500S Attendant Console. In my case, I'm running my phones with 7.4.6 because it is the version of the Cisco SPA504/508G phone firmware that is certified to work on our current version of Broadsoft's Hosted PBX.
The phones work very well indeed, but the attendant console lights up after a re-boot of the BLF phone is performed, however, the actual SPA500S unit doesn't perform onitoring at all.
I've read every blog/discussino on this matter and it is becoming a nuisance at this point. I dont understand why it takes so much trouble to configure something so easy and what a stark difference there seems to be when you upgrade SPA50XG phones on the firmware from one firmware release to the next one.
I'm looking for anyone that has had this issue that can help me configure the Cisco SPA508G phone that servers as the monitoring phone with a single SPA500S Attendant Console unit to monitor 4 extensions.
Jose A.

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?

Attendance Console will not save numbers

Our switchboard personnel have to recreate some speed dial numbers they create. When virus scans are ran on the computers, (Norton, Malwarebytes, and Super-Antispyware) teh speed dial numbers and some times the tabs are deleted. I have configured the virus scans to ignore the Cisco folders when running scans, but can anyone tell me how to ensure that the numbers have been entered and saved correctly and is there anything else that I can check? Thanks

We have the same problem. It's used to be under CallManager 4.2 the speedials config is saved locally but i have heard with CUCM7.x the file may perhaps on the publisher/subcriber. I can not verify this though. Is there a way we can retrieve this file from the server? Currently I have trained our attendant console folks to manually save their speedials on their desktop locally.

Attendant Console (CCM4.3) now fails

After having AC run flawlessly for 2 years at reception, they now receive "Could not connect to server" or whatever when starting the application. To my knowledge, there has been no change to the AC services or the receptionists' phones & PCs. I also have AC installed at my PC for testing and I get the same thing.
I am looking for help troubleshooting this. I see no problems with services on the servers and nothing entered in event logs that would help diagnose. It almost seems like a port is being blocked but they claim no change to firewalls or PC rules.
Any advice where to start?
thanks,
b

yes u r right, TCD issue may be a symptom to this AC problem.
Cisco Telephony Call Dispatcher (TCD) service running on the Cisco CallManager communicates with Cisco Attendant Console clients for call routing and control, monitors and reports line state, and services client database requests. and it must be active to dispatch calls to the active Attendant Console clients.
docs says u have to restart TCD service when u make changes in piolt points.
although sometimes there r no changes occur, it has to be service stuck issue.

Maintaining the Directory in Cisco CallManager Attendant console

I have names in the directory of the cisco callmanager attendant console users that no longer work for the company. The numbers and names have been deleted from the call manager but not the directory used by the attendant console. How do I go about cleaning up the directory for the attendant console?

Hi,
Thanks for the doc..4* for the info.
This basically explains what I've checked already. Cynth, seeing as you've checked on the AC PC that there's no userlists file, and we now know you have 2 files present on the callmanager I would suggest the following to resolve your problem:
1) Delete both the AutoGenerated.txt and CorporateDirectory.txt from the CallManager Attendant Console directory (I've put the path in my previous post). You can copy them off this directory if you want a copy for keep safe.
2) Re-start the TCD service again.
3) Shut down the AC client and re-open it.
This should basically re-populate the directory on the CallManager (once you re-start the service). Then when you open up AC again it should copy across the up-to-date corporate directory list.
Please rate useful posts...

Querying for users logged into attendant console with AXL (help)

I am wondering if anyone knows of any AXL commands that can be used to query who is logged into attendant console? I know that there is a perfmon counter that will tell you how many users are logged in but there is no other detail beyond that. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for the assistance.

So after speaking with O365 Support and examining the Activesync Logs (hold down control, rt. click on the exchange tray app bottom right corner of the screen, click Test ActiveSync) we were able to see outlook trying our on-premise exchange servers first.
Despite failing on them, and moving on to activesync.outlook.com, it still would not mount the O365 mailbox & shared mailboxes appropriately. If we set DNS to manual on the workstation to publics, the problem would go away.
Disabling SCP by running the following command on both our exchange servers fixed the issue:
Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity “SERVERNAME” -AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri $NULL

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.
Thibaut

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.
