Overview

The Symposium Agent server can be set up in two configurations. In the first

configuration, as a standalone server, the Symposium Agent Server software

resides on the server platform by itself. The second configuration combines the

Symposium Agent server software and the TAPI Service Provider (M1 TAPI SP,

CompuCall TAPI Driver or TAPI Driver for ICM) on the same server platform.

The information contained in this document explains how to plan for each

configuration.

Considerations for planning and engineering

Planning and engineering involves determining the best size, platform, and

location for your Symposium Agent system.

To start planning and engineering a Symposium Agent system, consider the

Getting started Standard 2.0

10 Nortel Networks Symposium Agent

following questions:

! Will Symposium Call Center Server or Symposium Express Call Center

Server route calls to your Symposium Agent users?

! What is the LAN connectivity for the PCs?

! What applications will you want users to screen pop on, and which data

(Calling Number, Called Number/DNIS or Call/User Data) will be used to

trigger the screen pops?

! Will the client PC be equipped with Windows 95,Windows 98, Windows NT

4.0 Workstation, or Windows 2000 Professional?

! How are your network domains currently set up and how will the domain

requirements imposed by TAPI SP and Symposium Agent impact the current

network?

! Where will the servers be located and how will they be connected?

! Will you use your own web server to support your application(s) or will you

use Internet Information Server? Which server will Symposium Agent uses as

it’s web server? (If you use Symposium Agent’s server as your web server,

you may require a faster machine with more memory and larger disk drive.)

! Do you want screen pops to occur before calls are answered (when the agent's

phone is ringing), when the call is answered/connected, or after the call ends?

! What is the maximum number of calls per hour the call center will handle?

! What is the number of concurrent users?

System components

Key components

A Symposium Agent system consists of five key components:

1) Switch components Meridian 1 Option 11C and Options 51C

through 81C or MSL-100 or DMS-100 are

supported.

2) Symposium Agent Server The Symposium Agent Server software and

Telephony Server (TAPI SP) software can

3) Telephony Server (TAPI Server) reside on separate Windows NT 4.0 or

Windows 2000 servers

or on the same server.

4) Administrative PC The Administrative PC is used to configure
