April 2004 Getting started ELAN The embedded LAN (ELAN) is a dedicated Ethernet TCP/IP LAN connecting the Symposium Call Center Server and the switch. The ELAN must be a private isolated network that is dedicated to the switch and to the call center. The ELAN must not have a physical or logical connection with the customer network. This eliminates the potential impact of caller network traffic on call processing. Front-end IVR system (optional) The switch can direct calls to an optional th

April 2004 Getting started How Symposium Call Center Server communicates with the switch Introduction Symposium Call Center Server and the switch must be able to exchange information if calls are to be successfully routed in Symposium Call Center Server. You must ensure that this communication is enabled by configuring the resources shared by both the switch and Symposium Call Center Server. A Controlled Directory Number (CDN) is the initial point of entry for any call processed in Sympo
Resumen del contenido incluido en la página 20
Getting started Standard 1.0 For each call arriving at a CDN, the switch informs Symposium Call Center Server of the call’s arrival and starts a timer while waiting for the routing instructions. The switch handles the call according to the response returned from Symposium Call Center Server. If the timer expires before a response is received, the switch routes the call to a default ACD group, which is defined for the CDN on the switch. For more information about default ACD routing, see
