We could build alternate routes that could get to the agent ie hunt list but that removes the call control. I suggest that a distributed callcenter environment is not ideal environment for AAR when there multiple WAN links to consider. You can not group the callcenter into one location because of this. If you put them into site specific locations there is possibility of agent ready status with AAR occurring.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Sep 24, 2010 1:15 PM, <<a href="mailto:george.hendrix@l-3com.com">george.hendrix@l-3com.com</a>> wrote:<br>> I think in the scenario, you have to assume the agent at least has network connectivity to the UCCX/CUCM servers. Otherwise, they cannot be in a ready status. Also, if you are going to use AAR, I would assume you have a PSTN gateway at the remote site, otherwise where would you reroute to? Also, as Jason said, if the agents don’t have DID, you would at least have to have available DIDs (1 per agent on the remote gateway) that you could translate the agent’s ext in AAR and use translations again inbound at the remote site to route to the agent via the PSTN.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> If you have a remote gateway and available DID’s, AAR should work (with digit manipulation). To my understanding, AAR is strictly a CUCM function. CCX is simply calling the agent via CUCM.

I can not see how this can designed effectively. Basics are you have 4 locations, all locations have agents, all locations also have standard users. The premise is to have AAR help limit bandwidth (reroute when necessary) but with agents this would not be a desired action as they do not have DID. Technically you could put all Callcenter resource in 1 location but that location would be spread over the WAN links and would defeat the purpose. Alternate plan would be to only enable AAR for the standard users and drop the bandwidth limits to leave a larger buffer for Agents.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Best Regards,<br>> <br>> Mike Lydick<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> cisco-voip mailing list<br>> <a href="mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net">cisco-voip@puck.nether.net</a><br>> <a href="https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip">https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip</a><br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> ________________________________<br>> <br>> 0ede5e1b-f.gif <<a href="http://www.dimensiondata.com/_layouts/forms.aspx?FormID=204">http://www.dimensiondata.com/_layouts/forms.aspx?FormID=204</a>> <br>> <br>> Disclaimer: This e-mail communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information and is for use by the designated addressee(s) named above only.
