Introduction

 

This document focuses on installation configuration and deployment of a complete end to end UCCE and CVP based solution. The CVP is being used in comprehensive mode and provides IVR, Call Control and Queuing functionalities.

 

The example used in this deployment guide was based on a setup that is conducted in a laboratory (LAB) or non-prodcution environment and is not supported in a live network. But the concepts, design techniques and guidelines can be extended to setup a complete CVP based UCCE solution

This document can also be used as a quick reference and troubleshooting guide for CUCCE field engineers, users and administrators.

Document Structure

 

This document provides information to help you understand and configure the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Solution with Customer Voice Portal in a laboratory environment. The aim of writing this document to provide complete and consice information in one document to the readers who are planning to learn, build or deploy CUCCE solutions.


Note: This document only discusses SIP call flows.

 

Prerequisites

 

Cisco recommends that you should have knowledge of these topics:

 

  • Cisco Unified Communication Manager (CUCM)
  • Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management (CUICM)
  • Cisco Unified Cisco Voice Portal (CUCVP)
  • Cisco Voice Gateways

 

Related Products

This configuration can also be used with the following hardware and software versions.

 

  • CUICM based solution without IVR

 

Background Information

 

When CUCM and CUICM are deployed together it makes Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise solution. CUIVR or CUCVP are the two most commonly used IP IVR deployed for queuing and call treatment. In this document CUCCE is deployed with the CUCVP

Installing and Configuring CUICM SPRWALER Environment

For a laboratory setup, you can choose to install all of the CUICM software as a sprawler; that is, you can install all the components on one server. We will be installing the following components on a single MCS 7845 Server

SPRWALER stands for Router, Logger, PG and AW on the same machine.

You must see Cisco ICM Staging Guide before installation

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/icm/icmentpr/icm70doc/microsf7/icme70st.pdf

Make sure that following services are started.

  • DNS Service      Required for AD
  • Replication Service      Required for AD
  • Task Scheduler Service      Required for ICM Installation
  • Install WMI Windows Installer Provider Required for ICM Router Installation
  • NT LM Security Support Provider      Required for AD
  • File Replication      Required for AD


For example for NT LM Security Support Provider service, you could see following screen

Active Directory and DNS Server Installation

The CUICM components Router, Logger, AW, PG and CTIOS Server must communicate with the active directory server and join a domain. In this lab setup, the installation of the Active Directory Domain Controller and DNS Server will be done on the same machine called SPRAWLER, where all CUICM components will be installed

Welcome screen shows up

Install the Domain Controller and select the option to install DNS as part of DC installation

Enter the full DNS name for the domain. The example in the Microsoft Installation wizard is misleading and you should enter just the domain portion of FQDN. For example cisco.com or vse.cisco.com

8.gif

Enter the NetBIOS name. Selecting the domain name is important. Because AD Netbios name is what will be used as a domain name.

Accept the default for the Active Directory database

Raise Domain Controller

Before we raise the Domain Controller it is important to understand some Microsoft Active Directory terminologies here.

 

Domain and forest functionality

Domain and forest functionality, introduced in Windows Server 2003 Active Directory, provides a way to enable domain- or forest-wide Active Directory features within your network environment. Different levels of domain functionality and forest functionality are available depending on your environment.

 

If all domain controllers in your domain or forest are running Windows Server 2003 and the functional level is set to Windows Server 2003, all domain- and forest-wide features are available. When Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 domain controllers are included in your domain or forest with domain controllers running Windows Server 2003, Active Directory features are limited.

 

The concept of enabling additional functionality in Active Directory exists in Windows 2000 with mixed and native modes. Mixed-mode domains can contain Windows NT 4.0 backup domain controllers and cannot use Universal security groups, group nesting, and security ID (SID) history capabilities. When the domain is set to native mode, Universal security groups, group nesting, and SID history capabilities are available. Domain controllers running Windows 2000 Server are not aware of domain and forest functionality.

Domain functionality enables features that will affect the entire domain and that domain only.

Four domain functional levels are available:

 

  • Windows 2000 mixed (default)
  • Windows 2000 native
  • Windows Server 2003 interim
  • And Windows Server 2003

 

By default, domains operate at the Windows 2000 mixed functional level.

The following table lists the domain functional levels and their corresponding supported domain controllers.

 

  • Windows 2000 mixed (default) Functional Level   
    • Windows NT 4.0
    • Windows 2000
    • Windows Server 2003 family
  • Windows 2000 native Functional Level   
    • Windows 2000
    • Windows Server 2003 family
  • Windows Server 2003 interim Functional Level   
    • Windows NT 4.0
    • Windows Server 2003 family
  • Windows Server 2003 Functional Level   
    • Windows Server 2003 family

 


Once the domain functional level has been raised, domain controllers running earlier operating systems cannot be introduced into the domain. For example, if you raise the domain functional level to Windows Server 2003, domain controllers running Windows 2000 Server cannot be added to that domain.

 

From the Active Directory Domains and Trust, select the domain and then Raise Domain Functional Level

Select the desired option based on your environment and need. The recommended setting is Windows 2000 native for our setup.

Install WMI Windows Installer Provider on the CUICM Server

Go to Control Panel and select Management and Monitoring Tools

34.gif

Then enable WMI Windows Installed Provider. You might be prompted to provide Windows 2003 installation DVD/CDs


35.gif


After completing all the system preparation steps we can move on to installation of CUICM components

 

 

Create JTAPI User in CUCM

As this point it is good idea to create a user (for example jtapi) in CUCM and associate it with the physical phones and CTI Route point. This CTI Route Point (541-764-3000) will be used for calls that will be originated from CUCM IP Phones.

 

36.jpg

 

 

 

Make sure the phone is listed in the controller Devices list and permissions are correct

37.jpg

 

 

The jtapi user should be controlling the phone and the route point
