UCCX 8.5 Agent Desktop in HA mode

Hello,
I am running UCCX 8.5 in HA WAN mode.  When I ran the client configuration tool I could only add the IP address of the primary server and not the secondary server as well.
The problem that I am having is that if the primary server is unavailable CAD agents can not login.  If they are already logged in to CAD the failover works fine.
Is there a way to make it so the CAD logins will failover to the secondar server as well?
Thanks.                

There's no need to add the IP of the secondary address in the client configuration tool - the screen asks that you add the IP address of the server from which you downloaded the application.  (Typically the primary.)  The configuration tool will automatically configure the secondary IP for you.
If the clients are finding the secondary server on failover, then something else is going on.

  • UCCX 8.0 agent desktop unsupported features on agent phone

    I have been reading the release notes for UCCX 8.0(2) in preparation for an upgrade from 7.0. I see in the section titled: Unsupported Actions for Unified CCX Agents, that softkey features not supported on the agent phone includes PARK. PARK is used extensively by our agents in version 7.0. Is this something new with version 8.0? I don't understand why this would be now unsupported in a newer release.
    Your replies are appreciated,
    Mark

    Hi Mark
    That has been unsupported for as long as I can remember.
    Whilst there is a fairly large list of things that aren't supported, exactly why they aren't supported varies a lot... for example, use of Pickup causes all sorts of problems including stuck-in-reserved agents, calls being dropped, spurious not ready states etc.
    Join/DirTrFr tend to cause statistical errors (e.g. oldest in queue 1[00:00:00] or similar)
    I always recommend to customers that they have a custom softkey set that removes all these, but some think a particular features is so important that they are willing to live with the side effects (which generally means doing out of hours Node Manager restarts to fix up stats and so on).
    If you are using Park, and don't have problems... then it's up to you whether you continue to do so. Just be aware that if you get a problem, raise a case and TAC blame it on this, you will kind of be on your own.
    As a general rule - anything that might affect the call whilst it's in the control of UCCX (i.e. up to the point that the Agent has answered a presented call) is likely to cause you fairly major issues (i.e. ones that involve calls being lost or agents being put out of work temporarily). Anything after the agent has answered (like Park) is more likely to just screw your real time reports up...
    Hope this helps...

  • UCCX 5.0 agent desktop configuration and customizations

    Hello,
    My client would like that the chat function be available so that their agents can speak to all agents even if they are on different teams. My understanding is that the chat function is only between supervisors/agents within a team.
    Would there be any way to change this?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    No - teams and CSQs are different concepts.
    Teams determine who can Supervise what - so for example, you can split up large teams so that one Sup can see half the agents that they manage directly and see the CSQs you deem are related to their role.
    CSQs control who the calls are actually routed to.
    So you can have one team (which has all Sups, all agents, and all CSQs associated to it). This means all agents can chat, and all Sups can see all agents and CSQ stats.
    You can still have two CSQs, and the calls will be sent the agents with the correct skills or resource group membership.

  • UCCX and agent desktop +E.164

    Hello - we are running 10.0 UCCX and looking to see if +E.164 is supported.  The issue we have with this is that with agent desktop it does not allow the + sign in the extension field.  IS there a work around for this?

    Hi Ed,
    Use of E.164 DN on agent devices requires Finesse. E.164 is not supported with CAD / IPPA.

  • Reminder for UCCX agent desktop

    Hi            There
    We are using uccx 7 and got some requirement to have a reminder pop up when the agent is not ready to remind them that they need to change their status to Ready.
    Our agents are not just sitting in the chair and waiting for the incoming call, they have to move to other area to do some other stuff sometimes, but during that time they may get incoming call and their agent status was changed to Not Ready, when they came back to the desk they just simply forgot to change the status back, is there any way that we can have a pop up window to remind them?
    In the Cisco Desktop Administrator, I can configure the popup window under Voice Contact Work Flows when the called number match the trigger, but there is no way I can add the condition that it only happen when the agent is not ready; In the Agent Management Work Flows, I can have the popup window when agent is not ready, but it is not what we want, it popup whenever the agent's status changed to Not Ready.
    Maybe there is a way in the script that when there is incoming call, it check the "Not Ready" agents and send the popup window to those agents, but I am not sure how to do it.
    Can anyone kindly give me some hint for this?
    Cheers

    As you can probably see reading this thread, there is no easy, built-in way to handle this.  I think the Cisco approved way, would be to leverage the Wrap up time, and force them into the Ready state, as oppose to warning them.
    I have one other method to throw into the mix, and your experience with it may be different from the next person's; so please test this out first before deploying it all over the place.
    If you have MS Office installed on the CAD PC, you can actually leverage a feature out of the MS Word COM Object to view a list of running Window Titles, and since CAD puts the state of the Agent in the Window title, this works.
    You will need to copy and paste the below code into a notepad document, and then save as "All Files" and name it something like "monitor.vbs".
    '=============================================================================='=='=='=='=='=='== This script will attempt to monitor the CAD title window and keep track'== of how long the state is Not Ready, then alert the user once a threshold'== is exceeded. The user can press OK to go ready or Cancel to stay Not Ready.'=='== Microsoft Word Required.'=='== Author=Anthony Holloway'==        [email protected]'=='== Last Update=04 AUG 2009'=='== User defined variables'=========================' The StateThreshold is in seconds, and sets a limit to how long the Agent' state can be "Not Ready"Const StateThreshold = 600' The AlertMessage is displayed to the user; keep it short and sweet.Const AlertMessage = "You are currently in a Not Ready state."' The AlertTitle is displayed as the alerts title barConst AlertTitle = "Cisco Agent Desktop"'==============================================================================Set oMicrosoftWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")Set cRunningApplications = oMicrosoftWord.TasksSet oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")iCounter = 0sCADNotreadyTitle = "Not Ready - Cisco Agent Desktop"' Loop foreverDo While True     ' Does the CAD title contain "Not Ready"?     If cRunningApplications.Exists(sCADNotReadyTitle) Then          ' Yes, Has the state exceeded the threshold?          If iCounter >= StateThreshold Then               ' Yes, Alert the user               iUserChoice = MsgBox(AlertMessage & vbCrLf & "Press OK to go Ready", vbOKCancel + vbExclamation + vbDefaultButton2, AlertTitle)               If iUserChoice = vbOK Then                    oShell.AppActivate sCADNotreadyTitle                    WScript.Sleep 500                    oShell.SendKeys "^w"               End If               ' Reset the counter               iCounter = 0          Else               ' No, Increment the counter               iCounter = iCounter + 1          End If     Else          ' Yes, Clear the counter          iCounter = 0     End If     ' Pause 1 second before checking again     WScript.Sleep 1000Loop
    Then you will need to start it by one of several ways.  One way is to place it into the startup folder of the windows PC.  Another way is to have it launch via CDA Run External Application on CAD Startup.  It just runs in the background all the time, monitoring the title of the CAD window.

  • UCCX Agent Desktop v.7 taking over Windows active session when phone rings

    I'm trying to figure out how (if possible) for the Cisco UCCX Agent Desktop application from taking over a users Windows session every time the phone rings.  This is very annoying and takes the end user out of what ever application they are currently in whenever their phone rings.  Does anyone know how to change this?

    Hi Eric,
    Maybe this is better
    Miscellaneous tab options.
    Option Description
    Window Behavior Specify how you want the Agent Desktop window to
    behave:
    • Normal. The window appears when calls are
    present and minimizes when idle.
    • Keep Open. The window is always visible, but may
    be hidden by other open applications.
    • Always on Top. The window is always visible and on
    top of other open applications.
    • Stealth. The window appears as an icon in the
    system tray.

  • Can CTI OS agent desktop 9 be configured for different desktop modes?

    Can CTIOS agent desktop be configured for different modes e.g. Normal, open, on top, stealth or agent selectable?

    Yes, but you'll have to customize it and recompile it. The source code is in the installer.

  • Agent Desktop vs One-Button Logon - UCCX 7.0

    Hello, I'm new to the forum.  I'm working with Customer Service supervisors who are asking what is the difference between an agent being logged in using the Agent Desktop vs the One-Button login on the phone.  I have done some research online, but can't find the answer to this question.  I realize the agent can't see the reporting functions, but we're not concerned about that.  They are there to answer calls, not check their stats.  Thanks for any help on this.
    Kathy

    IP Phone Agent (whether set up as one button login or not) will allow you to have an agent without having to install software on a PC.  The downside is that it's a little clunkier to use.  Sometimes you have to hit several buttons on the phone to do things like transfer a call. 
    The agent desktop moves this to an interface that gives you something a bit easier to navigate.  Also, it provides a much easier way for you to display additional information to the agent that may be relavent to the call.  The script can populate custom information based on caller input, caller ANI, DNIS, etc.  do database dips, and pop that info onto the screen.  Also the agent desktop can drive actions to other programs (opening screens, navigating to preconfigured web pages and populating data, etc.). 
    Both work and work well.  You would have to examine your needs to determine if one is more appropriate than the other.

  • UCCX numbers off on Agent desktop and CTIOS supervisor desktop

    Hello,
    We have a big problem with the numbers displaying on are agent desktops as well as as the CTIOS supervisor desktops the numbers are off, such as the number of call recieved at the end of the day, etc.  It seems like at certain times of the day the numbers reset back to zero and the number of calls received by an agent through the whole day are smaller than they should.  Can you please help us.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. So you are looking at real-time reports.
    1. Is this an issue with all agents or only few ?
    2. What OS they are running ?
    3. Try installing CAD on Win XP or Win 7 32-bit to see if the behavior is same ? I wouldnt recommend reinstalling CAD on their existing boxes, as few registry settings might not be removed completely & will show the same behavior. Therefore, grab a new machine with above mentioned OS & do a fresh install on it to see if it helps.
    4. Were there any OS patch upgrades taken place recently on agent machines ?

  • UCCX 9x - Calls not Disconnecting from Agent Desktop after hangup

    I have a Team of agents and 3 of them are experiencing the same issue. They will get a call and once it hangs up, the call state remains "connected" in the agent desktop. Then they get a second call it shows up "connected". So even though there is only 1 call active, it shows the 2 connected.
    The IPCC extension is only assigned to one device, the correct line is assigned to their user. The max calls busy trigger is 2:1. I have had a TAC case open for almost a week and initially they thought it was the "connected" state in my script. I made the change and still issue persists. I haven't gotten anywhere with them after sending MIVR loges, etc
    I have done some additional searching and haven't found anything.

    Hi,
    well, I can only assume TAC already told you what debugging levels to set.
    Would you mind do a test call again, collect the logs and post them to here? I am not saying I am any better than TAC but I might get an idea while taking a look at the trace files.
    Thanks.

  • IPCC/UCCX CAD and Agent/Supervisor desktop on Windows 7

    Any word on when Windows 7 will support CAD for Agent and Supervisor’s?

    The product Bulletin indicates CAD will be compatible with Windows 7 in version 7.5(8)
    Cisco Agent Desktop, Cisco Supervisor Desktop, and Cisco CTI Toolkit Options
    Version 7.5(8), FCS Q1CY10
    Version 8.0, FCS Q1CY10
    However, the release notes for 7.5(8) do not show this as being compatible.  Any Ideas on when this is projected? 
    Version 8 does offer Windows 7 support.

  • UCCX 8.5 Supervisor desktop agent voice monitor logs

    Is there any logs/reports that can be found to show what calls the supervisor has silient voice monitored when using the silient monitor function from the supervisor desktop agent.

    You'll need to assign the supervisor to a couple teams before you'll see anything in Supervisor desktop.
    You can do this through SubSystems --> RmCm --> Teams. Make sure your user shows up under the assigned section.
    You will need to close (completely) Cisco Agent Desktop and relaunch before you will see the changes.

  • 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.

  • CTI Toolkit Agent Desktop 7.5(1) has stopped working

    Dear Support,
    We have an IP Telephony setup with Call centre Enterprise.
    The CTIOS crashes on the Windows 7 64bit OS.
    CTIOS version : 7.5.1
    Whenever we run the Agent desktop application, the below error message is displayed.
    Also we have tried reinstalling the application and also tried running on compatibility mode as well, and it still did not solve the issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Nithin Louis.

    Hi,
    I found that the CTIOS 7.5.1 is not compactable with Windows 7 64 bit .
    you can access the CTI OS Client on Windows 7 64-bit Starting with CTI OS Release 8.5(2).
    For this you have to install the 8.0(1a) installer is required.
    I am able to download the 8.5(2) from the Cisco site but 8.0(1a) is not available.
    Could you please share the link for download the 8.0(1a).
    Regards
    Nithin Louis.
