Application Note for Configuring Avaya Proactive Contact

5.0 with Avaya Aura Contact Center 6.2 Issue 1.0
Abstract
These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required to successfully integrate
Avaya Proactive Contact 5.0 with Avaya Aura Contact Center 6.2.
Avaya Proactive Contact uses the Contact Management Framework (CMF) web services
interface available in Avaya Aura Contact Center as the integration point to Avaya Aura
Session Manager and Avaya Aura Communication Manager. CMF is a Simple Object
Access Protocol (SOAP) based web services API that provides Avaya Proactive Contact
access to Controlled Directory Number (CDN) and agent events to achieve Agent Blending.
Agent Blending integrates outbound calling activities on Avaya Proactive Contact with
inbound calling activities on Avaya Aura Contact Center.

Introduction
These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required to successfully integrate
Avaya Proactive Contact 5.0 with Avaya Aura Contact Center 6.2. In this solution Proactive
Contact is configured in hard dialer mode, which requires a PG-230 (digital switch).
The Avaya Proactive Contact system is an enterprise outbound solution software application
that consists of software, hardware, and network components. Proactive Contact contains dialer
functions to optimize agent productivity. The Agent Blending feature monitors ACD inbound
traffic to Controlled Directory Numbers (CDNs) and predicts when to acquire and release ACD
agents for outbound calling. Proactive Contact integrates with Avaya Aura Contact Center to
seamlessly blend inbound outbound activities based upon the inbound call volume. The Contact
Management Framework (CMF) is a SOAP based web services API in Avaya Aura Contact
Center that provides Avaya Proactive Contact access to CDNs and agent events to achieve Agent
Blending.
Avaya Proactive Contact acquires the pooled Contact Center Toolkit (CCT) agents for outbound
calling when the inbound calling activity decreases on the inbound CDN of Avaya Aura
Contact Center. Avaya Proactive Contact releases the pooled agents to inbound calling when the
inbound calling activity increases in the Avaya Aura Contact Center. The movement between
inbound and outbound calling keeps the blended agents busy and the service level within the
prescribed limits.
The following is the Lab configuration used for testing.

1.1 Solution Overview

The following section describes the components of the solution under test.
1.1.1 Avaya Aura Communication Manager

Avaya Aura Communication Manager software is the open, highly-reliable and extensible IP
Telephony foundation on which Avaya delivers Unified Communications solutions to enterprises
large and small. It delivers rich voice and video capabilities and provides for a resilient,
distributed network of gateways and analog, digital and IP-based communication devices. In
addition, Avaya Aura Communication Manager boasts robust PBX features, high reliability
and scalability, and multi-protocol support. It includes advanced mobility features, built-in
conference calling and contact center applications.

that addresses the business requirements of sophisticated contact center environments. Avaya
Aura Contact Center provides ability to enable multi-modal communication between customers
and agents (Voice, IM and Email) over SIP infrastructure.
1.2 Test Scenarios Verified
Verification of Customer calls from simulated PSTN routed via Avaya Aura Session
Manager to Avaya Aura Contact Center.
Verification of Outbound calls from Avaya Proactive Contact to customers over a
simulated PSTN.
Verification of acquiring Proactive Contact (PC) agents to take outbound calls.
Verification of releasing PC agents to take inbound calls.
Verification of Avaya Aura Contact Center features such as Transfer, Conference,
Hold-Unhold, Consult on an inbound call.
Verification of Avaya Aura Contact Center Supervisor Observe and Barge-in on
inbound calls

Configure Avaya Aura Communication Manager
This section describes the procedure for configuring:

A SIP trunk between Communication Manager and Session Manager. The steps include
setting up an IP codec set, an IP network region, an IP node name, a signaling group and a
trunk group.
Steps to configure H.323 stations which are supported as Contact Center agent phones.
These steps are performed from System Access Terminal (SAT) interface of Avaya Aura
Communication Manager. The highlights in the following screens indicate the values used.
Default values may be used for all other fields.
3.1 Verify Communication Manager License

Use the display system-parameters customer-options command. Navigate to Page 2, and
verify that there is sufficient remaining capacity for SIP trunks by comparing the Maximum
Administered SIP Trunks field value with the corresponding value in the USED column. The
difference between the two values needs to be greater than or equal to the desired number of
simultaneous SIP trunk connections.
The license file installed on the system controls the features permitted. If there is insufficient
capacity or a required feature is not enabled, contact an authorized Avaya sales representative to
make the appropriate changes.

the contact arrives at Avaya Aura Contact Center. These steps can include call treatments (such
as music or ring back), call routing (such as skill-based routing), or interaction with the caller

acquire call.
7. Answer the acquire call.
8. Once Proactive Contact agent answer the acquire call, dialer acquires the PC agent to
take outbound calls through PC agent application.
9. Now for Agent Blending to take place, direct a voice call to Inbound CDN.
10. Proactive Contact monitors the Inbound CDN of Avaya Aura Contact Center when it
sees inbound call on the CDN; it puts the Proactive Agent application on break and
