Intended Audience: If you want to configure outbound in predictive mode in Genesys CTI and Avaya pbx.
Prerequisites: Genesys framework and Outbound solution (OCS and OCM)
Before beginning the work, ensure that your Avaya pbx has Call classifier card configured with enough number of call classifier ports.
Predictive dialing needs Vector Destination Numbers (VDNs) to be configured both in the switch and Genesys CME.
You can verify with Avaya personnel to create a VDN on the switch.Make a note of the VDN created. Now create and configure the same VDN on CME. VDN in CME is a DN of type route point with switch-specific type as 2. Done ? now you can consider as half way through!
Make sure from the Avaya personnel that the VDN has Class of Restriction (COR) configured to allow outbound dialing. You can test the same by making a call from that VDN manually.
Now we will go to the routing part. In IRD, create a simple strategy to route the calls to an agent group. Load the strategy on to the VDN.
Now create a calling list with outbound numbers. Logon your agents. Start your OCM and run the campaign. In IRD's monitoring view of the strategy,[polldaddy poll=1061554] see if the calls are routed.
Can you see the call in agent desktop?. Cheers! :)
NO ? Post your error code in this blog and Lakshmi is there to help you :))
Hi Guru/Lakshmi,
ReplyDeleteWe are implementing Genesys Outbound Solution with a Avaya G3 with a Call Classifier Card.
We have Genesys Framework installed and Configured. I also have the Genesys Outbound Solution installed. Our Avaya team has configured a VDN on Avaya PBX
We have configured the same VDN (Route Point in Genesys) in Genesys CME.
In IRD, I have create a simple strategy to route the calls to an agent group. Loaded the strategy on to the RP/VDN. Created 3 Sample Calling List in Genesys with Outbound number for US, UK & Australia repectively.
For the 1st Calling list I am using ISDN Trunk as our clinet has ISDN configured for US.
For the 2nd and 3rd Calling List I am using R2MFC or E1\R2 as there is no ISDN trunk for the UK & Australia.
When we start Predictive Dialing from OCM and ran the first campaign using ISDN Trunk.
I had succesfull calls to US outbound numbers
When I start Predictive Dialing from OCM and ran the other 2 campaigns using E1\R2 Trunk the campaign failed.
According to the Avaya tech they can see the calls failing as per PBX traces.
On the genesys T server logs i can see the campaigns started but the call failed with cause=A_NO_CLASSIFIER.
I have checked and rechecked the Genesys Outbound Configuration and looks good.
Just want to add we are not using the Genesys CPD Server as the CPD
is been taken care by the Avaya switch.
Now what I need to check on the Avaya side to understand the call Classifier is properly configured?
As per some suggestions received:
Make sure from the Avaya personnel that the VDN has Class of Restriction (COR) configured to allow outbound dialing.
You can test the same by making a call from that VDN manually.
Can someone throw some light on what would be the ideal configuration
on the Avaya PBX (COR) to allow outbound dialing.
Any suggestion ASAP on what else I can look for on the Avaya front will be higly appreciated.
Note: I am using the same VDN for ISDN or E1/R2(but one at a time).
Pls let me know if you need any Avaya configuration information from my side to help me out better.
Its real urgent.
