Multimedia Call Center Set Up and Operation Guide
Chapter 1
About Multimedia Call Center
This guide assists a Call Center administrator with installing and configuring Multimedia Call
Center for Nortel Networks Business Communications Manager 2.5.
In this document the server that Multimedia Call Center is installed on is referred to as
“voicebutton.<domain>”
where:
• <domain> is the domain name of the business, for example nortelnetworks.com
• “voicebutton” is the host name of the server within the domain.
The server is usually called “voicebutton”, although any unique hostname within the domain is
acceptable.
Overview of Multimedia Call Center
With Multimedia Call Center agents and callers can have multimedia calls that include:
• speaking over a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) voice connection
• text chatting
• exchanging and viewing web pages
• viewing screen captures sent by an agent
How Multimedia Call Center works for callers
When callers on a website click a voice button html image the “Call setup page for first-time
callers” on page 28 appears for first-time callers, or the “Call setup page for subsequent callers” on
page 29 appears for subsequent callers.
In the call setup page callers specify their calling preferences. Callers can access the media types
based on their needs and resources. Callers with separate data and PSTN voice lines can have a
PSTN voice call while they view, receive or even send web pages to agents. For information on
Multimedia Call Center call types see “Multimedia Call Center call types” on page 7.
After a caller specifies their preferences, the voice button call enters the Call Center. Based on the
rules created by the Call Center Administrator, the request for an agent is sent to the appropriate
skillset. If an agent is not immediately available, the caller can receive periodic html messages
(web refresh). The Call Center Administrator programs these messages. The messages can thank
callers for their interest, inform them that there are no agents currently available, and tell them that
they will be connected to the first available agent.
When the call is answered by an agent, the “The Multimedia Call Center caller interface” on page
6 appears in the upper frame of the caller’s web browser.

Multimedia Call Center call types
PSTN voice and data calls
Callers with a PSTN voice connection and a data connection, and callers with only a data
connection can have a multimedia session with a Multimedia Call Center agent.
PSTN voice and data calls use agent-centric routing.
How an agent-centric PSTN voice and data call works
For this type of call, the caller has a separate PSTN voice and internet connection, and is not using
their telephone.
1The caller clicks the voice button icon on a web page.
2The call setup page “Call setup page for first-time callers” on page 28 appears for first-time
callers. If the caller is not a first-time caller, step 4 occurs.
3The caller enters their phone number and area code. The caller can specify that their call is:
•by browser only (a text chat with an agent)
•by phone and browser (a PSTN voice call and text chat with an agent)
4A request for an agent is sent over the IP network to the call center.
5While the caller is waiting web refresh html pages are displayed in their browser that
correspond to the announcement they would hear if they were on a PSTN voice call. A new
web page can be pushed for every Call Center announcement.
6When a Multimedia Call Center agent becomes available, the caller's phone rings.
7The caller answers the call.
8The Call Center routes the PSTN voice portion of the call to the Multimedia Call Center agent.
The agent's set rings and displays “www” to signify that the call is a voice button call.
9The agent answers the call on their set and the agent’s and the caller's audio path are
connected, and the agent and caller's web pages are synchronized. “The Multimedia Call
Center agent interface” on page 6 appears in the agent’s browser and the “The Multimedia Call
Center caller interface” on page 6 appears in the caller’s browser.
10 The agent pushes appropriate web pages to the caller. The agent can have a text chat session
with the caller. Text chat is controlled by the monitor parameter.
Agent-centric call After a caller clicks voice button the Call Center phones the caller when an agent
is available. The Call Center then connects the call to the agent.
8 Chapter 1 About Multimedia Call Center
P0935737 02
Data only call
For this type of call, the caller needs an Internet connection. A data only call can include text chat
and pushed web pages.
How a data only call works
1The caller clicks the voice button icon on a web page.
2While the caller is waiting web refresh html pages are displayed in their browser that
correspond to the announcement they would hear if they were on a PSTN voice call. A new
web page can be pushed for every Call Center announcement along with information such as
the number of agents in the skillset and the number of calls in the skillset. For a full list of CGI
parameters see the Multimedia Call Center Web Developer Guide.
3When a Multimedia Call Center agent is available “The Multimedia Call Center agent
interface” on page 6 appears in the agent’s browser and notifies the agent that they have a call.
4“The Multimedia Call Center caller interface” on page 6 appears in the caller’s browser.
5The agent pushes appropriate web pages to the caller. The agent can have a text chat session
with the caller.

Assigning a callback route for Multimedia Call Center
A callback route must be set up for Call Center to connect to the caller’s phone. You can program
the callback route on a per skillset basis by programming the skillset mailbox, or on a system-wide
basis by using the system administration mailbox.
The callback route is determined as follows:
•If you program a skillset to have a callback route associated with it, Multimedia Call Center
uses the callback route that you have programmed.
•If you do not program a skillset to have a callback route, but you program the system
administration mailbox to have a callback route associated with it, Multimedia Call Center
uses the callback route that you have programmed.
•If you do not program a skillset or the system administrator mailbox to have a callback route,
Multimedia Call Center uses Pool A.
To assign a callback route for a skillset or the system administrator mailbox

Understanding how Multimedia Call Center calls work with
Intelligent Overflow rules
Some Intelligent Overflow Rules apply only to a call that is connected to the caller with a PSTN
line. Agent-centric calls are not connected over the PSTN network until an agent comes free.
Before an agent-centric call is connected to an agent, these actions do not apply:
•Move to Skillset Mailbox
•Move to external or internal DN
Some Intelligent Overflow Rules apply even if the call is an agent-centric Multimedia Call Center
call without a PTSN connection.
Rules with these actions apply to all calls:
•Overflow to other skillsets
•Move to another skillset
•Change priority of call
