enabling outdial PSTN from WxCC desktop

mrvoipstuff

Trying to get the out dial calls to work from WxCC Desktop .. Agent's desktop profile is enabled with Outdial, specified the dial plan, Address book, outdial ANI and outdial entry point. But within outdial entry point configuration what am I using in the Flow section ? and what would be the outdial queue here ? 

I am not trying to do an outbound campaign but just give ability for WxCC desktop agent to dial out to any PSTN number. Does it work like that ? Or does it just send to agent's softphone to dial out when it's setup correctly ? My PSTN connectivity is LGW and not Cisco Cloud PSTN. So bit confused how would it even dial out PSTN ? Unless the WxCC Dialplan by default sends it to LGW route group ? 

Appreciate any insight. One of those questions where I'm not even sure If I'm asking the right question. just like to see if I can make the softphone redundant. incoming works great via WebRTC which makes phone redundant - now just like to do the reverse and allow agent to dial out PSTN via WxCC desktop.

Steps to Configure Outdial Calls:
1. Log in to the Webex Control Hub with administrative privileges.
2. In the Control Hub, go to the Contact Center section.
3. Create a simple FLOW "START -> END"
4. Set Up Outdial Queue
5. Set Up Outdial Entry Point or use the default "Outdial Entry Point-1". Channels -> New. Where:
- Channel Type is "Outbound telephony"
- Routing Flow is the flow above
- Outdial Queue is the Outdial Queue that you created.

6. Ensure that agents have the necessary permissions to make Outdial calls. This can be done by configuring "Desktop profile" -> "Dial-Plans". Define an entry point for Outdial calls. This involves configuring the number that will be displayed when an agent makes an outbound call.
7. The "Desktop profile" needs to be associated with the agent.

You shouldn't have to set up any special outdial entry point or queue, they are typically automatically created.
What happens when you try and call outbound? 
Also, make sure the outbound ANI you're using is an active number. I know that sounds basic/dumb, but if it isn't, it won't work.

Did you found solution? , if yes please reply with the answer.
