Introduction

When using Avaya One-X Communicator in a call center environment, it is not possible for an agent to have auto answer of ACD calls. This triggered us to write a tool to solve this problem. The target of this tools is simple, it enables agents answer ACD calls automatically without pressing the Answer button. This will improve operation efficiency and reduce ACHT of the call center. With the Auto Answer tool, you can deploy One-X Communicator in a call center or home agent environment.

Testing using Docker Image

Please follow this guide to test AutoAnswer using Docker Container.

Testing using OVA File

We also create a OVA file which you can deploy it to VirtualBox or VMware for testing.  After deploying the OVA file, please modify the following:

• Reference this guide to delete the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
• Change the MAC address and IP address of the VM in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
• Edit /usr/lib/tslibrc, change 127.0.0.1 to the IP address of your Avaya AES
• Telnet to AutoAnswer console port 14012, update the parameters aa_tlink_01 and aa_tlink_02. The aa_tlink_01 and aa_tlink_02 string contain three fields and they are separated by comma (,). For example “AVAYA#AVAYA_ECS#CSTA#XXXXXX,username,encrypted_password”
  • AVAYA#AVAYA_ECS#CSTA#XXXXXX is the tlink, you can get the name by command /usr/lib/tstest
  • username is the AES cti user
  • encrypted_password can be obtained by tcpgate console command genpass, enter your AES cti user password two times you will get the encrypted password
• Once the changes are completed, reboot the VM
• Contact service@upinget.com for a trial license

The username and password of the OVA VM is

• OS : root/P@ssw0rd
• MySQL: root/P@ssw0rd
• AutoAnswer console: tcpgate/tcpgate01

Windows Installation Preparation and Password Encryption

• The access MDB file stored the the username and password of AE server for this software. For security reason, a tool called encryptpasswd.exe is provided to generate encrypted password for the installation and configuration of the software
• Execute the program, generate the encrypted password for a user of AE server, then paste the encrypted password to parameter aa_tlink. For example, the encrypted password for “p@ssword” is “R3NIw1yJMLlnPFzEQtuh2A==”
• 

64 bit Windows System
