personnel
• It is recommended that attendees have reviewed the
CC7.0 and CC7.1 tech transfers
• Exception would be those personnel only requiring
knowledge of CC Express 7.1 as it pertains to the
configuration of SIP on CS1000

6 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Introduction

• Express 7.1 has changed – more than you may think

• Important to understand the fundamental differences
• Express and Voice only SIP CC are the same from a SIP
deployment perspective
• Express and SIP CC are used interchangeably. Assume that
they are the same for the purpose of this presentation.
• AML Express/CC refers to non SIP based CC server
• SIP Express/CC refers to the NEW SIP based CC server.

7 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Important Concepts (1)

• Express has “evolved”

• SIP based Application Server
• Telephony interface is now SIP (and SIP only)
• Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) – A VoIP protocol
• Currently the most popular Industry standard for VoIP
• Express no longer as tightly bound to the CS1000
• No AML link with the CS1000
• Does not employ CS1000 CDN’s, ACD or ACD set
functionality
• SIP Enabled CS1000 is REQUIRED

8 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Important Concepts (2)

• CS1000 deployment changes for Express 7

• Needs to be SIP enabled (Sig Server, NRS, DSP’s)
• Used only for TDM interfaces, and agent terminals
• No AML connection with Express.
• No CDN’s required on the CS1000 for Express.
• No ACD queues required on the CS1000 for Express.
• For incoming PSTN calls, CS1000 tandems calls towards the
Express CC Server via SIP trunks

9 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Important Concepts (3)
• Agent UI changes
• Agents require a Windows based workstation to run CCAD
• Provisioned with a “normal” SCR CS1000 tel set.
• Can be TDM or IP*.
• Not provisioned with an ACD key**.
• Contact Center Application Desktop (CCAD) is used to
control all functions of the tel set.
• Agents must use CCAD for all tel set controls.
• Agents cannot log into the CC via the tel set.
• Conference and Transfer facilities on the CS1000 tel set are
NOT supported.

*SIP sets are not yet supported (lacking TR87 support)

**Exceptions to this are for proposed failover functionality, discussed later

10 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
• Supported by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
• Internet-style protocol
• Developed and reviewed in an open process
• Based off SMTP and HTTP
• Initially drafted in 1996
• Accepted in 2000.
• Supported by practically every manufacturer of IP Phone,
Gateway, Call Manager and IP PBX.

11 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

CS1000 and SIP

• Introduced in 2004 on Rls 4.0

• Requires a Local Area Network capable of supporting VoIP
• Design / Performance / QoS / Operations
• Refer to CS1000 NTP’s 553-3001-160 & NN43001-260 Converging the
Data Network with VoIP Fundamentals
• Existing TDM only Meridian 1 systems require the following additional
hardware, and so must be migrated to a CS1000 system:
• Signalling Server (SS) – to run applications that support SIP interfaces: SIP
trunk, and SIP CTI.
• DSPs – Hardware dedicated to transcode TDM media to IP media (speech
path), and vice versa.

12 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

CS1000 VoIP hardware

• Signalling Server (SS)

• Runs many applications
• VTRK – SIP virtual trunking
• SIP CTI – TR87/CSTA support
• NRS – Network Routing Server
• TPS – Terminal Proxy Server (IP tel sets)
• Number of physical form factors
• ISP1100, CP-PM, HP, IBM or DELL COTS
• Duals NIC’s (ELAN and TLAN)
• Manages signalling and resources for media

13 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

CS1000 VoIP hardware

• Digital Signal Processor (DSP)

• Hardware that transcodes IP media to TDM media, and vice
versa
• Managed by the Signalling Server
• Number of physical form factors
• MC32, MC32S (secure) daughterboards (32 and 96 port) on a
CP-PM card

14 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

SIP Domains
• SIP domains are similar, but not the same as AD domains
• A site can have multiple AD and SIP domains
• A SIP user endpoint is usually composed of a <UN>@<FQDN>
• Eg: ctuohy@nortel.com, ctuohy@47.166.107.38
• A DNS Server record for an AD domain may advise the proxy that services its SIP
domain.
• Important SIP domain configuration on Express:
• Server Configuration->SIP Network tab
• Route point configuration
• Agent SIP URI configuration.
• Current implementation expects AD like domain names
• Single word SIP domain names currently cause issues, eg nortel
• This is documented and will be revisited in future releases

20 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

CDN/Route Point detail

• CDN has “moved” into the SIP network, now called a

Controlled Route Point.
• Endpoint in the SIP network
• Calls routed to it directly, or via a Network Routing Service
(NRS)
• Accepts and processes calls using the defined Uniform
Resource Indicator (URI)*
• Request URI’s received not matching the defined URI are
rejected (404 Not Found or 403 Forbidden).
• Registration is not yet supported.
* [Uniform Resource Identifier] - The generic term for all types of names and addresses
that refer to objects on the World Wide Web http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt

21 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

CDN/Route Point detail (2)

• CCMA defines the Route Point on the SIP network

• When defined, it does the following:
• Sets the accepted URI in SGM
• Sets the CDN to be configured in the CS1000 emulator
• Advised CCMS of the CDN to acquire (on the emulator)
• When defined, maps the URI to the CDN, to be processed by CCMS
• The Route Points need to be acquired so CCMS will service them

22 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Agent SIP Detail config

• SIP URI and SIP Terminal ARE REQUIRED

• Identifies the agent’s tel set on the SIP network
• CCT does not import agent terminals as before
• SIP Terminal
• Is always defined as the agent’s provisioned DN followed by the CS1000 Node IP.
• “sip:3794@47.166.107.38” in this example.
• SIP URI
• Can be the same as the agent’s windows login name and domain
• Note the login domain is the same name as the CS1000 SIP domain -
“sipccocs.com” in this example.

CS1000 DSP considerations

• CS1000 DSPs
• DSP Consumption
• DSP Engineering

25 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

CS1000 DSPs
• Digital Signalling Processor (DSP)
• Transcode TDM media to IP media and vice versa
• Pool resource on the CS1000
• Used when a TDM user and an IP user are connected (speech path)
• Eg: PSTN user calls an IP tel set user, IP telset user calls a TDM user

• Sufficient number of DSP’s to handle TDM/IP trans coding traffic

• 3 major parties of a CC, which can be TDM or IP types
• Customers, Agents, 3rd Parties / experts
• TDM endpoints will each consume a DSP
• Local IP endpoints will not consume a DSP
• Each site profile will be different – Depends if callers, agents and / or xferred
to parties are TDM or IP endpoints.
• Will need to be engineered and monitored for blocking scenarios

26 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

DSP Consumption

• Each TDM caller will consume 1 DSP

• Eg: 10 TDM calls waiting, 5 TDM calls answered by IP
agents, will consume 15 DSPs.
• Each TDM agent will consume 1 DSP while on a CC call,
• eg: 10 TDM calls waiting, 5 TDM calls answered by 2 TDM
agents, and 3 IP Agents, 10+5+2=17 DSPs
• Calls xferred to TDM endpoints by agents, currently
consumes 2 DSPs for the duration of the call
• Eg: 10 Calls waiting, 5 TDM calls answered by 2 TDM
agents, and 3 IP agents, and the previous 8 TDM calls
xferred to TDM endpoints. 10+5+2+(8x2) = 33 DSPs

27 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

DSP Engineering

• Understand how a site is employing their DSP pool

• Use them for existing H.323 or SIP trunks
• IP phone conferencing
• TDM – IP telset interaction
• Establish traffic profile
• CS1000 traffic reporting
• Monitor DSP usage,
• CS1000 traffic reporting and/or VGW OM Reports
• Monitor for blocking scenarios

50 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

CS SIP Trunk configuration

• Add a VTRK zone, or use an existing zone if engineered to

the requirements of the site
• Zones are used to help manage bandwidth consumption
on the customer LAN for VoIP media
• The compromise is on the quality of speech path with VoIP
users and capacity (number of concurrent calls) a LAN
connection can cope with
• The options are Best Quality (high BW) or Best Bandwidth
(lower quality)
• The CS1000 decides on the most suitable media codec,
according to the zone rules defined by the craftsperson

CS Configuration – Virtual Superloop

• Because SIP trunks do not map onto any physical

hardware, as a PRA trunk does, there is no need to waste
physical loops on them. So a virtual loop is defined to
represent these trunks from a CS point of view.
• SIP trunks are represented as soft identities on the SS by
the VTRK application.
• Add a virtual superloop, or use free Terminal Numbers
(TN’s) of an existing superloop.

CS Configuration –D-Channel

• The CS already has a comprehensive communications

channel, called a PRA Data Channel.
• A D-Channel is normally only employed for call control of
Basic and Primary Rate Interface connections (ISDN).
• This same channel is re-used so the CS can control calls
on the VTRK application on the SS.
• From the CS point of view, the SIP trunk looks the same
as an ISDN link.

• Login to the CS admin terminal (overlays)

• Many ways to do this, one of which follows:
• Use a CMD window on a Windows PC or server.
• Telnet into the Node IP address
• Need login details to gain access.
• Other ways to login to the CS are via a direct TTY port or
via EM.
• Use ld 17 to define an ELAN and a VAS to be used by the
SIP CTI application on the SS

Using Call Pilot as a Front end IVR / Routing
callers based on CLID

• Some sites employ Call Pilot on the CS1000 to provide

basic call routing decisions, using IVR prompts.
• As a result of the decisions callers make, Call Pilot
transfers them to their choice of destination.
• An issue with this, is when the caller is transferred to a 3rd
party, the Calling Line ID (CLID) of the Call Pilot port is
what is presented and displayed on the 3rd party, instead
of the original callers CLID.
• When the 3rd party is Express, Express cannot make
correct routing decisions based on Callers CLID, because
it does not get it.

155 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Using Call Pilot as a Front End IVR / Routing
callers based on CLID

• To resolve this, the CS1000 RLB configuration is changed

to display the original Caller CLID, instead of the xfering
party CLID (as what happens when CP does the xfer).
• Tasks:
• Find the RLB being used to route calls to Express via SIP
trunk.
• Change the DORG* setting to YES
• Not yet configurable from EM (Rls 5.5). Have to configure
via overlays.

• Customer calls ACD DN
• ACD queue NCFW set to CDP/UDP number that resolves to

• Removes the CS1000 ACD queue from night service
• Calls processed using CS1000 ACD to agents.
• Recovery
• Supervisor is informed when SIP CC recovers, and/or retries
CCAD.
• If successful, Supervisor inserts the CS1000 ACD queue in

• The MSB key is required to take a set out of MSB

• Use of the MSB key makes both the ACD key, and SCR
key BSY
• The MSB key defaults to active after a CS init.
• MSB must be deactivated for agents to receive any calls.
• It is the responsibility of the Supervisor with the NSVC key
to detect the state of the SIP CC
• Can only be one Night Service key per ACD queue
• Note – CCAD has be used while using SIP CC, set has to
be used while in Default ACD

Debugging (CS1k)
• If it is suspected that the issue lies on the CS1k then the following
commands can be useful to debug TR87 related issues:
• SIPCTISessionShow Shows the total number of TR87 SIP sessions.
• SIPCTIClientShow Shows information about all the associated soft clients.
• SIPCTIShow Shows SIP CTI application status and configuration.
• SIPCTIStop Deacquire one or all AST DN(s) and remove associated SIP
CTI sessions.
• SIPCTITraceLevel Sets the MessageTrace Level output to TR87 body only
or Detailed format.
• SIPCTITraceShow Prints SIPCTI trace settings.
• SIPCTIOutput Redirect the SIP CTI trace to a specific output destination.
• SIPCTITrace Trace incoming and outgoing TR87 SIP messages.
• See Nortel Communication Server 1000 Signaling Server Installation and

Determining where issue lies (1)

• The following two CCMS log files are the most important
log files in terms of determining where an issue lies.
• D:\Nortel\Logs\CCMS\CCMS_SGM_SipMessages0.log
• D:\Nortel\Logs\CCMS\CCMS_AML.XXXX.YYYY.log
• The content of these two log files provide enough detail to
identify the component in the system where the issue lies.
• SipMessages0.log – SIP Messages between CS1k / ICP /
SIP CC
• AML log – AML events indicating the requests / responses
to the core ASM/TFE components.

188 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Determining where issue lies (2)
• CCMS_SGM_SipMessages0.log can be opened with any text
editor but is formatted so that it can be read using Snooper.exe – a
Microsoft protocol analysis tool.
• Note that Snooper.exe requires .Net 2.0 to be installed.
• For more information on Snooper please refer to:
• http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd572600(office.13).aspx
• When opened with Snooper tool the messaging sequence is displayed
as per the images in the previous slides.
• Note that there are some valid errors in this log – for example a SIP
487 response can indicate that a Request Terminated, but this is valid
when in response to a Cancel request – as per below:

189 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Sample Problem 1 – Identifying an ICP issue

Sending a Request to the ICP

Invite out to the ICP contained a request to play

“Default_Route” However the 404 Not Found
response tells us that “Default Route” is not
configured on the ICP. The resolution here could
be to load up “Default_Route” onto the ICP so that
it can be played into the conference.

190 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Sample Problem 2 – Identifying a CS1k issue

Invalid Device State on the CS1k –

Agent’s IP phone was
disconnected

Important to look here to

determine where the SIP message
is going to / coming from

191 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Sample Problem 3 – Identifying a CCE Issue

• If there is nothing obvious from the SipMesages0.log then

it is possible that the problem lies within CCE.
• The second port of call to determine where the root cause
may lie is to look at the
D:\Nortel\logs\CCMS\CCMS_AML.XXXX.YYYY.log file.
This provides the same level of AML messaging as you
would be familiar with on an AML CC. This is due to the
fact that there exists an AML Emulator on CCE that
provides AML events to the ASM/TFE components.
• A recent example from Site was identified as CCE issue
as follows:

192 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Sample Problem 3 – Identifying a CCE Issue
SipMessages0.log contained the following:

The Refer-To header contains the destination for the Route Call
Request. If this does not contain a valid destination then there is no
where for the CS1k to route the Call, hence the fail response.

193 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

 Sample Problem 3 – Identifying a CCE Issue

• In this case the Refer-To header is populated via the Request to route the call
in the first place – which comes from TFE.
• By investigating the AML log we can see that the Destination DN contained a
null value – thus leading to the problem.

Blind Transfer Support on CCE 7.0 (1)
• There is some confusion over the terminology used to
describe the different flavours of transfer that are
supported on CC Express 7.0
• CCE 7.0 supports two-step transfers
• CCE 7.0 does not support single-step transfers
• A two-step transfer is referred to as a supervised transfer
in CCAD and a single-step transfer is referred to in CCAD
as a Blind transfer – as per the image below

195 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Blind Transfer Support on CCE 7.0 (2)

• If an agent wishes to complete a transfer before the

destination party has answered the call then it is possible
to achieve this via the Supervised Transfer feature as
follows:
1. Agent Receives Incoming call
2. Agent hits Transfer Key on CCAD
3. Agent populates the destination party address
4. Agent hits OK (This initiates the transfer to the dest party)
5. The Transfer key is now flashing on the CCAD toolbar.
When the agent hits the flashing transfer key the transfer
will be completed.
6. Agent can complete the transfer immediately (i.e. blind
transfer) or they can wait for the destination party to answer
before completing the transfer (i.e. consultative transfer).

196 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Agent Display for CCE 7
• In CCE the CCAD application must be used for all
telephony operations (Ans, Disc, Xfer, Conf, Hold etc)
• This is referenced in two NTPs:
• NN44400-114 - Nortel Contact Center Agent Desktop
User Guide
• NN44400-110 - Nortel Contact Center Fundamentals
• The display option for Agent sets is purely an AML feature
and so this means that there is no means by which CCE
can update the physical phoneset display for the agent.
• This is why we use CCAD for CCE as this allows us to
present all information to the agent. The CDN, DNIS,
Skillset name can all be provided by CCAD.

197 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

CCAD Display

CDN Name SkillSet Call Id

Name

• These fields are configurable and so can be changed to display

whatever the agent requires. This can be configured via the xml file:
• D:\Nortel\Contact Center\Multimedia Server\Agent
Desktop\CCADIntrinsicSettings.xml

198 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

CCMA Agent Display

• This feature is disabled for CCE 7.1 due to the fact that
this is a CS1k / AML feature. It is by design intent that you
will not see this screen in CCMA for CCE 7.1

199 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Route Call

• The following slides attempt to provide some detail around

how the Route to DN feature works.
• When an SCE block containing a Route Call is created:
• The call is blindly re-directed.
• The result of the REFER is not considered.
• Any REFER’s that fail, are dropped.
• The following CS1k Patches must be in place for Route
Call to operate correctly:
• [MPLR28884 / Q02052731 ]
• [MPLR28405 ]

200 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Route Call

• NB NB NB NB : The DN being re-directed to must be

CORRECTLY resolved by the NRS. This DN is contained
in the refer-to header of the SIP REFER message. It is the
same DN that the Script writer has entered.
• CS1000 SIPCallTrace will confirm if the NRS is resolving
to the correct endpoint for the REFERed to number.
• A dedicated entry may be required on the NRS to resolve
REFERs correctly.
• Failure will result in the caller receiving overflow tone.

202 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

SIP Messaging for Route Call

At this point the CS1k has

accepted the request to
route the call. It now
needs to go to the NRS to
resolve the EXT DN and
route it accordingly.

203 CC 7.1 Technology Transfer – Nortel Confidential

Route Call

• Caller is put on hold (Send Only)

• Call is REFER’ed
• CS1000 accepts (202 Accepted)
• Call legs are BYE’ed
• Result of REFER is not reported or considered
