SIP dialer: Outbound option 9.0 ( for IVR campaign based on CVP)

[r.boloor.rao]

Hello,

We are implementing SIP dialer for oubound IVR campaign with CVP.  The installation document says  " The dialer must be installed on Agent PG and MR PG. Does this matter if I am using no Agent based campagin ?. Can I install it on MR PG ?( Agent PG is on different box)

We have agents answering Inbound calls but all outbound campaign are IVR only (kind of reminders). We want to keep the Agent PG (for Inbound Calls) and MR PG ( for Dialer, Web chat) on a seperate boxes.

Is this valid configuration ???.

Thanks

Raghu

Hi,

Dialer must be reside only on AgentPG(call manager PG) not in MR PG this is applicable for both agent based and ivr based campaign, instead you can have Agent PG and MR PG on seperate server and install dialer on Agent PG, there is no other option to explore

"The agent PG is a primary data collection point for agent and skill group statistics and the       Dialer connects to the agent PG through the CTI Server interface where it monitors skill       groups associated with campaigns during campaign configuration. For transfer to IVR campaigns, the Dialer monitors the number of calls queued as provided in the campaign skill group to determine when the Dialer component has reached its configured limit of IVR ports for this campaign "

"The Media Routing PG (MR PG) is the interface the Dialer uses to make route requests to       the Central Controller to find and reserve available agents. Each Dialer uses its own MR       controller (MR PIM), and a separate dialed number is configured to differentiate requests for       different campaign skill groups for agent campaigns"

Have you configured Agent Targeting Rule for Dialer Peripheral?

Have you configured static host file for number to host mapping on dialer?

Does your egress gateway have route to reach to the agent device? dial-peer?

and moreover can you attache Sip Dialer, CTI Server, rtr and MR Pim logs for the timestamp having issue?

Hi Chintan,

Have you configured Agent Targeting Rule for Dialer Peripheral? yes

Have you configured static host file for number to host mapping on dialer? not able to get you

Does your egress gateway have route to reach to the agent device? dial-peer?yes 

attached the logs

[Chintan Gajjar]

There is an option to configure Number pattern to host configuration when you install Dialer, its called DNPhost file i guess and you will find the details in outbound option installation and configuration guide for how to configure it.

The dialer uses this file to send out SIP REFER message to the gateway for connecting call to the Agent or other numbers.

Also i see you attached only CTI server logs, there more processes to look upon to determine what could be the issue.

so can you also attach the logs for the processes baDialer, MR Pim and sip debugs of the gateway.
