Preface Intended Audience
requests that come from, and are sent to, the CTI (computer-telephony
integration) link in the telephony device. T-Server is a TCP/IP-based server
that can also act as a messaging interface between T-Server clients. It is the
critical point in allowing your Genesys solution to facilitate and track the
contacts that flow through your enterprise.
Intended Audience
This document is primarily intended for This guide is intended primarily for
system administrators, both those who are new to T-Server and those who are
familiar with it.
• If you are new to T-Server, read the Framework 8.1 Deployment Guide and
the Release Note mentioned earlier, and then read all of the sections of this
document that apply to your software and its accompanying components.
Refer back to the Framework 8.1 Deployment Guide as needed.
• If you are an experienced T-Server user—someone with computer
expertise, who is used to installing, configuring, testing, or maintaining
Genesys software—you may find it more time efficient to go to the Index
to see what is new or different in T-Server release 8.1. If you take that
approach, please also read Release Notes and refer to other related
resources, such as the Genesys Events and Models Reference Manual and
the Voice Platform SDK 8.x .NET (or Java) API Reference for complete
information on the T-Server events, call models, and requests.
In general, this document assumes that you have a basic understanding of, and
familiarity with:
• Computer-telephony integration concepts, processes, terminology, and
applications.
• Network design and operation.
• Your own network configurations.
• Your telephony hardware and software.
• Genesys Framework architecture and functions.
• Configuration Manager interface and object-managing operations.
Based on your specific contact center environment and your responsibilities in
it, you may need to be familiar with a much wider range of issues as you
deploy T-Server.

Part
1 T-Server Deployment
Part One of this T-Server Deployment Guide familiarizes the reader with
T-Server in general. It addresses architectural, functional, and procedural
information common to all T-Servers.
The information in Part One is divided into the following chapters:
• Chapter 1, “T-Server Fundamentals,” on page 17, describes T-Server, its
place in the Framework 8 architecture, T-Server redundancy, and multi-site
issues. It stops short of providing configuration and installation
information.
• Chapter 2, “T-Server General Deployment,” on page 31, presents
configuration and installation procedures for all T-Servers.
• Chapter 3, “High-Availability Deployment,” on page 45, addresses high
availability (HA).
• Chapter 4, “Multi-Site Support,” on page 57, details the variations
available for T-Server implementations across geographical locations.
• Chapter 5, “Starting and Stopping T-Server Components,” on page 115,
describes how, and in what order, to start up T-Server among other
Framework components. It also provides possible stopping commands.

This chapter provides general information about T-Server features and
functionality and about its configuration and installation. For reference
information about your specific T-Server and about options for all T-Servers,
see “Part Two: Reference Information.”
This chapter has various levels of information, some of it intended for people
who have configured, installed, and used previous releases of T-Server, and
some of it aimed at those less familiar with such T-Server operations. That
means some sections will not necessarily be relevant for you.
• If you are an experienced user of T-Server, start with “New for All
T-Servers in 8.1” on page 15, and then move to the chapters comprising
Part Two of this document, where specific information about your
T-Server is available.
• If you are new to T-Server, begin with “Learning About T-Server.” Once
you have read through that and subsequent sections, you are ready for the
other chapters in Part One that go into detail about T-Server configuration
and installation.
Generally, this chapter presents overview information that applies to all
T-Servers (and Network T-Servers) and their deployment. This chapter is

Chapter 1: T-Server Fundamentals Learning About T-Server
Bridging
T-Server acts as a platform-independent interface between media devices and
business applications. In the case of a telephony device, for instance, it
receives messages from and sends commands to the telephony equipment
using either CTI links provided by the switch manufacturer or interface
protocols provided by telephony network vendors.
On the client-application end, T-Server offers three models (call model, agent
model, and device model) unified for all switches. The core functionality (such
as processing an inbound call, an agent login, or a call-forwarding request)
translates into a unified application programming interface (API) called
T-Library, so that applications do not need to know what specific switch model
they are dealing with. On the other hand, T-Library accommodates many
functions that are unique to a specific switch, so that client applications are
able to derive the maximum functionality offered by a particular switch.
Refer to the Genesys Events and Models Reference Manual for complete
information on all T-Server events and call models and to the
20 Framework 8.1
Chapter 1: T-Server Fundamentals Learning About T-Server
TServer.Requests portion of the Voice Platform SDK 8.x .NET (or Java) API
Reference for technical details of T-Library functions.
Messaging
In addition to translating requests and events for the client application involved
in an interaction, T-Server:
• Provides a subscription mechanism that applications can use to receive
notifications about interaction-related and non-interaction-related events
within the contact center.
• Broadcasts messages of major importance (such as a notification that the
link is down) to all clients.
• Broadcasts messages originated by a T-Server client to other T-Server
clients.
The subscription mechanism consists of two parts, the DN subscription and
event-type masking. Applications must register for a DN or a set of DNs to
receive notifications about all events that occur in association with each
registered DN. For example, when two softphone applications are registered
for the same DN, and the first application initiates a call from the DN,
T-Server notifies both applications that the call is initiated from the DN.
Client applications can also specify one or more types of events, and T-Server
will filter out events of the non-specified types and only send events of the
requested types. For example, if agent supervisors are interested in receiving
agent-related events, such as AgentLogin and AgentLogout, they have to mask
EventAgentLogin and EventAgentLogout, provided that a particular T-Server
supports these events.
The combination of each client’s subscription for DNs and masking of event
types defines what messages T-Server distributes to what client.
Interaction Tracking
T-Server maintains call information for the life of the call (or other
T-Server-supported media type) and enables client applications to attach user
data to the call. Call information includes:
• A unique identifier, connection ID, that T-Server assigns when creating
the call.
• Automatic Number Identification (ANI) and Dialed Number Identification
Service (DNIS), if reported by the CTI link.
• User data that a client application (such as an Interactive Voice Response
unit or Genesys Universal Routing Server) provides.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 21
Chapter 1: T-Server Fundamentals Learning About T-Server
almost every traditional telephony device has its own characteristics and
communication protocols, Genesys makes different T-Servers for different
telephony systems. (That means your T-Server will not work with another
switch.) Thus, all T-Servers play a common role in the architecture, but their
specific features differ from implementation to implementation, based on the
media device in use.
Despite their switch-based differences, T-Servers for telephony systems are
similar to one another in at least one important respect: they are all built with a
certain amount of shared software code. This shared code is rolled into a single
unit and is called T-Server Common Part (TSCP). TSCP is the central,
common component for all T-Servers and has its own Release Note, which is
accessible via a hyperlink from your T-Server’s Release Note.
22 Framework 8.1
Chapter 1: T-Server Fundamentals Advanced Disconnect Detection Protocol
Step 1
When the call arrives at the switch, T-Server creates a call in its internal
structure. T-Server assigns the call a unique identifier, connection ID.
Step 2
The switch delivers the call to an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) unit, which
begins automated interactions with the caller.
Step 3
IVR acquires user information from the caller through prompts and requests
T-Server to attach that information to the call. T-Server updates the call with
the user information.
Step 4
IVR sends the call to an ACD (Automated Call Distribution) queue.
Step 5
The ACD unit distributes the call to an available agent logged in to a particular
DN (directory number).
Step 6
T-Server notifies the agent desktop application that the call is ringing on the
agent DN. The notification event contains call data including ANI, DNIS, and
account information that the IVR has collected.
Step 7
The agent desktop application presents the account information, including the
name of the person whose account this is, on the agent’s screen, so that the
agent answering the call has all the relevant information.
These seven steps illustrate just a small part of T-Server’s bridging, messaging,
and interaction-processing capabilities.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 23
Chapter 1: T-Server Fundamentals Redundant T-Servers
With ADDP, protocol activation and initialization is made on the client’s side
and you can change these parameters. No additional messages are sent when
there is existing activity over the connection. T-Server client applications and
the remote T-Server (if any) must be listening to the socket and respond
promptly to the polling signal for the connection to be preserved.
If you are going to enable ADDP, you must do it using the protocol,
addp-timeout, addp-remote-timeout, and addp-trace configuration options.
When configuring a timeout, consider the following issues:
• The configured timeout must be at least twice as long as the maximum
network latency.
• There may be an interval when T-Server does not check for network
activity.
• If the link connection fails but the client is not notified (for example,
because the host is turned off, or because a network cable is unplugged),
the maximum reaction time to a link-connection failure is equal to double
the configured timeout plus the established network latency.
Also keep in mind that the T-Server receiving the polling signal may not
respond immediately, and that a delay occurs after the polling signal, while the
response travels from one T-Server to another. If you do not account for these
contingencies when configuring a timeout, the connection that ADDP is
monitoring will be dropped periodically.
Redundant T-Servers
T-Servers can operate in a high-availability (HA) configuration, providing you
with redundant systems. The basics of each T-Server’s redundant capabilities
differ from T-Server to T-Server. One basic principle of redundant T-Servers is
the standby redundancy type, which dictates how quickly a backup T-Server
steps in when the primary T-Server goes down.
The Framework Management Layer currently supports two types of redundant
configurations: warm standby and hot standby. All T-Servers offer the warm
standby redundancy type and, starting with release 7.1, the hot standby
redundancy type is implemented in T-Servers for most types of switches. (See
Table 1.)
24 Framework 8.1
Chapter 1: T-Server Fundamentals Redundant T-Servers
Note: IVR Server and some Network T-Servers can be configured for load
sharing or warm or hot standby; however, they do not support any
combination of these redundancy types. Details of your component’s
HA capabilities are discussed in Part Two of this document.

a. With release 7.1, T-Server for Avaya Communication Manager no longer uses HA Proxy for its support of
hot standby. Earlier releases of this T-Server require two HA Proxies to support hot standby.
b. For T-Server for Nortel Communication Server 2000/2100 in high-availability (hot standby) configuration,
Genesys recommends that you use link version SCAI14 or above with call-progress and noncontroller-re-
leased messages enabled. See the switch-specific information in Part 2 of this Deployment Guide for addi-
tional information on HA configurations.
c. Starting with release 7.5, T-Server for Nortel Communication Server 2000/2100 supports HA without HA
Proxy when operating in Dual CTI Links mode. See the switch-specific information in Part 2 of this De-
ployment Guide for additional information on HA configurations.
d. Starting with release 6.5.3, T-Server for Philips Sopho iS3000 supports HA both with and without HA
Proxy.
e. Although they do not support high availability per se, Network T-Servers do support a load-sharing schema.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 27
Chapter 1: T-Server Fundamentals Multi-Site Support
Multi-Site Support
Multi-site configuration implies the existence of two or more switches that
belong to the same enterprise or service provider, and that share the Genesys
Configuration Database. (In some cases this may include isolated partitions on
a given switch served by different T-Servers.) The main goal of T-Server
support for multi-site operations is to maintain critical information about a call
as it travels from one switch to another.
For instructions on installing and configuring a multi-site environment,
including information on the Inter Server Call Control (ISCC) features, please
see Chapter 4, “Multi-Site Support,” on page 57.
Agent Reservation
T-Server provides support for clients to invoke the agent reservation function,
TReserveAgent(). This function allows a server application that is a client of
T-Server to reserve a DN along with an agent, a Place, or both, so that no
other T-Server client can route calls to it during a specified reservation
interval. Alternatively, when clients use the ISCC feature (see “ISCC Call Data
Transfer Service” on page 59), they can use an agent reservation embedded in
an ISCC request. (To do so, clients have to specify a certain Extensions
attribute in an ISCC request when initiating an ISCC transaction. See page 66
for the list of ISCC requests.)
The reservation does not currently prevent the reserved objects from receiving
direct calls or calls distributed from ACD Queues; agent reservation is
intended as a way of synchronizing the operation of several clients. See
RequestReserveAgent in the Voice Platform SDK 8.x .NET (or Java) API
Reference for more details on this function from the client’s point of view.
In addition to invoking the TReserveAgent function, you can customize the
Agent Reservation feature by configuring options in the T-Server Application
object. See“agent-reservation Section” on page 226 in the “T-Server Common
Configuration Options” chapter in Part Two for more details.
Starting with version 8.1, T-Server supports Agent Reservation failure
optimization, to ensure that only agent reservation requests of the highest
priority are collected. T-Server responds immediately with the EventError
message to existing or new reservation requests of a lower priority while
collecting the agent reservation requests of the highest priority only. This
functionality is controlled with the collect-lower-priority-requests
configuration option (see page 226).

Genesys uses for software product builds, and upgrade your patch
configuration if necessary. A description of patch configuration is linked to
installation read_me.html files for the Genesys applications that operate on
UNIX, and is available within the installation packages.
Security
Starting with release 7.5, T-Server supports the Genesys Transport Layer
Security (TLS) and can be configured for secure data exchange with the other
Genesys components that support this functionality.
The Genesys TLS is not supported on all operating systems that T-Server itself
supports. For information about the supported operating systems, see the
Genesys 8.x Security Deployment Guide.
32 Framework 8.1
Chapter 2: T-Server General Deployment Prerequisites
Hosting
Genesys recommends that you or your IT specialist assign host computers to
Genesys software before you start Genesys installation. Remember the
following restrictions:
• Do not install all the Genesys server applications on the same host
computer.
• When installing a few server applications on the same host computer,
prevent them (except for Configuration Server) from using the swap area.
Installation Privileges
During deployment, be sure to log in with an account that will permit you to
perform administrative functions—that is, one that has root privileges.
Server Locations
Refer to the “Network Locations for Framework Components” chapter of the
Framework 8.1 Deployment Guide for recommendations on server locations.
Supported Platforms
Refer to the Genesys Supported Media Interfaces Reference Manual for the list
of supported switch and PBX versions. You can find this document on the
Genesys Technical Support website at
http://genesyslab.com/support/dl/retrieve/default.asp?item=A9CB309A
F4DEB8127C5640A3C32445A7&view=item.
Licensing Requirements
All Genesys software is licensed—that is, it is not shareware. Genesys
products are protected through legal license conditions as part of your purchase
contract. However, the level of technical license-control enforcement varies
across different solutions and components.
Before you begin to install T-Server, remember that, although you may not
have had to use technical licenses for your software when you deployed the
Configuration and Management Layers in their basic configurations, this is not
the case with the Media Layer.
T-Server requires seat-related DN technical licenses to operate even in its most
basic configuration. Without appropriate licenses, you cannot install and start
T-Server. If you have not already done so, Genesys recommends that you
install License Manager and configure a license file at this point. For complete
T-Server—Deployment Guide 33
Chapter 2: T-Server General Deployment Prerequisites
Note: Starting with release 7.2, the licensing requirements for T-Server have
changed from previous releases. Please read this section carefully and
refer to the Genesys Licensing Guide for complete licensing
information.
Note: Configure all seat DNs that agents use (Extensions and ACD Positions)
in the Configuration Layer. This enables detailed call monitoring
through Genesys reporting, and generally allows you to control access
to individual DNs.
Licensing HA Implementations
T-Servers operating with the hot standby redundancy type require a special
CTI HA technical license, which allows for high-availability implementations,
in addition to regular T-Server licenses. Neither T-Server in a redundant pair
configured for hot standby starts if this license is unavailable. Moreover, the
primary and backup T-Servers must use the same licenses to control the same
pool of DNs. If your T-Servers are configured with the hot standby redundancy
type, order licenses for CTI HA support.
Note: You do not need licenses for multi-site support if some T-Server clients
include the local location as the location attribute value in their
requests for routing within the same site.
34 Framework 8.1
Chapter 2: T-Server General Deployment Prerequisites
Note: If you use the <port>@<server> format when entering the name of the
license server during installation, remember that some operating
systems use @ as a special character. In this case, the installation routine
is unable to write license information for T-Server to the Configuration
Layer or the run.sh file. Therefore, when you use the <port>@<server>
format, you must manually modify the command-line license
parameter after installing T-Server.
For information about which products require what types of licenses and for
the installation procedure for License Manager, refer to the Genesys Licensing
Guide available on the Genesys Documentation Library DVD.

Deployment Sequence
This is the recommended sequence to follow when deploying T-Server.
Task Summary: T-Server Deployment Sequence
Note: If, during the installation procedure for any of the Genesys
applications, the script warns you that Configuration Server is
unavailable and that the configuration cannot be updated, continue
with the installation. Following the installation, you must complete the
information on the Start Info tab to ensure that T-Server will run.
Deployment of T-Server
Deploying T-Server manually requires that you configure a number of
different objects in the Configuration Layer prior to setting up your T-Server
objects and then install T-Server. This section describes the manual
deployment process.

Genesys recommends registering (configuring) only those entities you plan to
use in the current configuration. The more data there is in the Configuration
36 Framework 8.1
Chapter 2: T-Server General Deployment Deployment of T-Server
Database, the longer it takes for the CTI setup to start, and the longer it will
take to process configuration data. Remember that adding configuration
objects to the Genesys Configuration Database does not cause any interruption
in contact center operation.
Depending on how much work is required to manually configure all
applications and objects, consider registering more Person objects first, with a
set of privileges that lets them perform configuration tasks.
Switching Offices
Your telephony network may contain many switching offices, but you should
only configure those that are involved with customer interactions.
Using Configuration Manager, be sure to register a Switching Office object
that accommodates your Switch object under Environment. Until you have
done this, you cannot register a Switch object under Resources (single-tenant
environment) or a Tenant (multi-tenant environment).
Note: The value for the switching office name must not have spaces in it.
Switches
1. Configure a Switch object for each switch on your telephony network.
Assign each Switch object to the appropriate T-Server Application
object.
2. If implementing the multi-site configuration, specify access codes for all
switches on the network so that the call-processing applications can route
and transfer calls between switches.
Two types of access codes exist in a Genesys configuration:
Default access codes that specify how to reach this switch from any
other switch in the Genesys environment.
Switch-to-switch access codes that specify how to reach a particular
switch from any other switch. Use this type when either a nondefault
dial number or routing type is required between any two locations.
When a switch-to-switch access code is configured, its value has a
higher priority than that of a default access code.
See Chapter 4, “Multi-Site Support,” on page 57, for step-by-step
instructions.
Note: When the numbering plan uses unique directory number (DN)
assignment across sites and multi-site routing is not used, you do not
have to configure access codes.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 37
Chapter 2: T-Server General Deployment Deployment of T-Server
Note: Starting with release 7.2, the requirements for configuring DNs in the
Configuration Layer have changed. Refer to Part Two of this guide for
information about the requirements on configuring specific DN types
for your T-Server.
For each T-Server for which you are configuring DNs, you must configure all
DNs that agents and their supervisors use in day-to-day contact center
operation—so-called seat-related DNs—such as Extensions and ACD
Positions. Otherwise, T-Server does not register such DNs.
1. To configure Telephony objects within each switch, consult the switch
documentation. Information specific to your T-Server in Part Two of this
document contains tables that indicate how to set DN types in the Genesys
Configuration Database depending on the switch DN types and
configuration.
2. Check the numbering plan for different types of DNs, to see if you can
save time by registering Ranges of DNs. Usually, DNs of the same type
have consecutive numbers, which will make an otherwise tedious
configuration task easy. Agent Login objects almost always have
consecutive numbers, which means you can register them through the
Range of Agent Logins feature as well.
3. If you plan to use Virtual Queues and Virtual Routing Points in the contact
center operation, Genesys recommends registering them after you have
outlined the call-processing algorithms and identified your reporting needs.
Warning! When setting the Register flag for a DN, make sure you select the
value according to your T-Server. The Register flag values are as
follows:
• False—T-Server processes this DN locally, and never registers
it on the switch.
• True—T-Server always registers this DN on the switch during
T-Server startup or CTI link reconnect.
• On Demand—T-Server registers this DN on the switch only if a
T-Server client requests that it be registered.
Multi-Site Operations
See the section, “Configuring Multi-Site Support” on page 100, for
information on setting up DNs for multi-site operations.

Configuration of T-Server
Use the Framework 8.1 Deployment Guide to prepare accurate configuration
information. You may also want to consult Configuration Manager Help
and/or Genesys Administrator Help, which contains detailed information about
configuring objects.
Recommendations
Genesys recommends using an Application Template when you are
configuring your T-Server application. The Application Template for your
particular T-Server contains the most important configuration options set to the
values recommended for the majority of environments. When modifying
configuration options for your T-Server application later in the process, you
can change the values inherited from the template rather than create all the
options by yourself.
Procedure:
Configuring T-Server
Start of procedure
1. Follow the standard procedure for configuring all Application objects to
begin configuring your T-Server Application object. Refer to the
Framework 8.1 Deployment Guide for instructions.
2. In a Multi-Tenant environment, specify the Tenant to which this T-Server
belongs on the General tab of the Properties dialog box.
3. On the Connections tab:
Add all Genesys applications to which T-Server must connect.
Note: For T-Server option descriptions, see Part Two of this document.

Chapter
3 High-Availability
Deployment
This chapter describes the general steps for setting up a high-availability (HA)
environment for your T-Server. The high-availability architecture implies the
existence of redundant applications, a primary and a backup. These are
monitored by a management application so that, if one application fails, the
other can take over its operations without any significant loss of contact center
data.
Every switch/T-Server combination offers different high-availability options.
The Framework Management Layer currently supports two types of redundant
configurations: warm standby and hot standby. All T-Servers offer the warm
standby redundancy type and, starting with release 7.1, the hot standby
redundancy type is implemented in T-Servers for most types of switches. Some
T-Servers support a switch’s ability to provide two CTI links to two T-Servers
or even one CTI link to two T-Servers. Other T-Servers require Genesys’s HA
Proxy in order to support the hot standby redundancy type. See Table 1 on
page 25 and the T-Server-specific information later in this document for details
on your T-Server.
This chapter describes the redundant architecture and how to configure
T-Server so that it operates with either type. Information in this chapter is
divided into the following sections:

Although normal operations are restored as soon as the backup process takes
over, the fault management effort continues. That effort consists of repeated
attempts to restart the process that failed. Once successfully restarted, the
process is assigned the backup role.

Chapter 3: High-Availability Deployment Prerequisites
Prerequisites
This section presents basic requirements and recommendations for configuring
and using redundant T-Servers.
Requirements
You must install the Management Layer if you are installing redundant
T-Server applications. In particular, install Local Control Agent (LCA) on each
computer that runs T-Server.
Warning! Genesys strongly recommends that you install the backup and
primary T-Servers on different host computers.
Configuration Warnings
When configuring T-Servers to support either the warm standby or hot standby
redundancy type, remember:
T-Server—Deployment Guide 49
Chapter 3: High-Availability Deployment Warm Standby Deployment
1. When at least one of the two T-Servers that operate in a redundant mode is
running, do not change a redundancy type, host, or port in either T-Server
configuration.
2. When both the primary and backup T-Servers are running, do not remove
the backup T-Server Application object from the configuration.
You are responsible for the option synchronization in the configuration of the
primary and backup T-Servers; Configuration Server does not synchronize
either options or their values in different T-Server Application objects. That is,
you must configure both T-Servers to have the same options with the same
values. If you change a value in one T-Server configuration, you must change
it in the other T-Server configuration manually. The log options in the primary
T-Server can differ from those in the backup T-Server configuration. The link
configuration options in the primary T-Server can also differ from those in the
backup T-Server configuration.
50 Framework 8.1
Chapter 3: High-Availability Deployment Warm Standby Deployment
Note: Starting with release 7.5, you can configure multiple ports for any
application of type server. When multiple ports are configured for a
server in a warm standby redundancy pair, the number of ports, their
Port IDs, and the Listening Mode settings of the primary and backup
servers must match respectively.

T-Server—Deployment Guide 57
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Multi-Site Fundamentals
Multi-Site Fundamentals
A multi-site configuration has two or more switches that belong to the same
enterprise or service provider and that share the Genesys Configuration
Database. (In some cases, this may include isolated partitions on a given
switch served by different T-Servers.) The main goal of T-Server support for
multi-site operations is to maintain critical information about a call as it travels
from one switch to another.
T-Server supports multi-site operations using its Inter Server Call Control
(ISCC; formerly called External Routing), which supports the following
functions:
• Call matching—To link instances of a call distributed across multiple sites
and to re-attach essential data associated with the call (ConnID, UserData,
CallType, and CallHistory). The following T-Server features support this
capability:
ISCC Call Data Transfer Service (active external routing)—when
requested by a T-Server client by specifying the desired destination in
the location parameter, and also with various ISCC strategies
performed by direct dial or by using the Transfer Connect Service. See
“ISCC Transaction Types” on page 66 and “Transfer Connect Service
Feature” on page 78.
Inter Server Call Control/Call Overflow (ISCC/COF) feature (passive
external routing)—applicable when calls are overflowed to another site
either directly or manually (see page 79).
Number Translation feature (see page 83).
Network Attended Transfer/Conference (NAT/C) feature (see page 91).
Note: When ISCC detects call instance reappearance on a given site, the
call is assigned a unique ConnID and the user data is synchronized
with the previous call instances. This ensures that ConnIDs
assigned to different instances of the same call on a given site are
unique.

Figure 7 shows the steps that occur during a typical external routing (ISCC)

Step 1
A client connected to the T-Server at the origination location requests this
T-Server to pass a call with call data to another location. For this purpose, the
client must specify the location parameter (Attribute Location) when calling a
corresponding T-Library function. ISCC processes the following T-Library
requests:
• TInitiateConference
• TInitiateTransfer
• TMakeCall
• TMuteTransfer
• TRouteCall
• TSingleStepTransfer
60 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
Step 2
Upon receiving a client’s request, the origination T-Server checks that the:
1. Connection to the destination T-Server is configured in the origination
T-Server Properties dialog box.
2. The connection to the destination T-Server is active.
3. The destination T-Server is connected to its link.
4. The origination T-Server is connected to its link.
If these four conditions are met, the origination T-Server determines the
transaction type that will be used for passing call data to another location in
this transaction. The following possibilities exist:
• The client can request what ISCC transaction type (or simply transaction
type) to use by specifying an appropriate key-value pair in the Extensions
attribute of the request. The key-value pair must have a key equal to
iscc-xaction-type and either an integer value as specified in the
TXRouteType enumeration (see the Voice Platform SDK 8.x .NET (or Java)
API Reference) or a string value equal to one of the following: default,
route, direct (or direct-callid), direct-network-callid,
direct-notoken, direct-ani, direct-uui, direct-digits, reroute,
dnis-pool, pullback, or route-uui.
• If the client does not specify the transaction type in the request or specifies
the default transaction type, T-Server checks the Switch configuration for
the transaction type configured in the Access Code (or Default Access
Code) properties:
If the Route Type property of the Access Code is set to any value other
than default, T-Server uses the specified value as the transaction type.
If the Route Type property of the Access Code is set to the default
value, T-Server uses the first value from the list specified in the
cast-type configuration option configured for the destination T-Server.
If no value has been specified for the cast-type option, the default
value of route is used as the transaction type.
Note: For more information on Access Codes and Default Access Code,
see “Switches and Access Codes” on page 102.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 61
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
The timer specified by the request-tout configuration option is set when the
origination T-Server sends the request. If either the specified timeout expires
or the call is abandoned before the origination T-Server receives a response
from the destination T-Server, the operation is considered failed. In this
scenario, the origination T-Server:
1. Generates a request to the destination T-Server to cancel the request for
routing service.
2. Sends EventError to the client that requested the service.
3. Deletes information about the request.
Step 3
The destination T-Server receives the request for routing service availability
and checks the requested type of routing. Depending on the ISCC transaction
type, it stores the request information and, when appropriate, allocates access
resources for the coming call. For example, an External Routing Point is
allocated when the transaction type is route, and an Access Resource of type
dnis is allocated when the transaction type is dnis-pool.
Step 4
If resources are available, the destination T-Server generates a positive
response and the timer is started for the interval specified by the timeout
configuration option of the destination T-Server.
Step 5
If the origination T-Server receives a negative response, it sends an EventError
message to the client and clears all data about the request.
If the origination T-Server receives the confirmation about routing service
availability, it processes the client’s request and sends a corresponding
message to the switch. The timer on the origination T-Server is also started for
the interval specified by the timeout configuration option of the destination
T-Server.
62 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
Step 6
The origination switch processes the T-Server request and passes the call to the
destination switch.
Step 7
If the call arrives at the destination switch, the switch generates an alerting
event.
The destination T-Server waits for the call no longer than the interval specified
by the timeout configured on the destination T-Server. If the call is not
received at the destination location within this interval, the destination
T-Server issues a failure notification to the origination T-Server, deletes all
data about the request, and, when appropriate, frees the resources previously
allocated for the request.
If either the specified timeout expires or the call is abandoned before the
origination T-Server receives a response from the destination T-Server, the
operation is considered failed. In this case, the origination T-Server:
1. Generates a request to the destination T-Server to cancel the request for
routing service.
2. Responds to the client that requested the service in one of the following
ways:
If the origination T-Server has already sent a response to the request
Step 8
If the destination T-Server matches the arrived call, it updates the ConnID,
UserData, CallType, and CallHistory attributes with the data received in the
request for routing service availability. The connection ID is updated as
follows:
The arrived call is assigned the ConnID that is specified in the request for
routing service availability, but only if this ConnID does not coincide with the
ConnID of a call that has existed at the destination site. If two such ConnIDs are
identical, the arrived call is assigned a new unique ConnID.
For direct-* transaction types (where the asterisk stands for a callid, uui, ani,
or digits extension), the call reaches the destination DN directly.
For the transaction types route and route-uui, the call first arrives at an
External Routing Point from which it is routed to the destination DN. The call
info is updated when the call reaches the External Routing Point. An External
T-Server—Deployment Guide 63

Routing Point is considered free when the first alerting event (EventQueued or
EventRouteRequest) is distributed.
Please keep the following issues in mind when using the ISCC feature:

fails, T-Server considers the transaction failed. However, the ConnID,
UserData, CallType, and CallHistory attributes are updated. Then,
T-Server attempts to route the call to one of the Default DNs configured
for this External Routing Point.
• If the destination T-Server did not receive a request for routing service
availability, but a call arrives at an External Routing Point, T-Server
considers the call to be unexpected and routes the call to the DN specified
by the dn-for-unexpected-calls configuration option. When no alternative
targets are defined, the call remains at the External Routing Point until
diverted by the switch or abandoned by the caller.
For reroute and pullback transaction types, the call returns to the network
location. For the dnis-pool transaction type, the call reaches the destination
DN directly.
Step 9
If, in Step 8, the call does not arrive within the configured timeout, or the
transaction fails, the destination T-Server sends a notification of failure to the
origination T-Server.
Otherwise, the destination T-Server notifies the origination T-Server that the
routing service was successful and deletes all information about the request.
Step 10
The origination T-Server notifies the client that the routing service was
successful (or failed) and deletes all information about the request.
Step 1
A client, such as Universal Routing Server (URS), that is connected to the
T-Server at the origination location detects a call to be delivered to another
destination location.
64 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
Step 2
The client chooses a destination location and the target DN for the call. Then, it
sends the TGetAccessNumber request to the destination T-Server for routing
service availability, indicating the target DN and other call context (ConnID,
UserData, and CallHistory attributes).
Step 3
The destination T-Server receives the request for routing service availability.
Depending on the ISCC transaction type, it stores the request information,
including the call context. When appropriate, it allocates access resources for
the coming call, such as External Routing Point.
If resources are unavailable, the request is queued at the destination T-Server
until an appropriate ISCC resource is free or the client cancels the request. If
the request is canceled, the destination T-Server deletes all information about
the request.
If resources are unavailable because of incorrect configuration, the destination
T-Server returns an EventError message to the client.
Step 4
The destination T-Server replies to the client with the
EventAnswerAccessNumber message, which contains the allocated ISCC
resource.
Step 5
The client requests that the origination T-Server delivers the call to the
destination location using the allocated access resource.
Step 6
The origination T-Server receives and processes the client’s request, and then
sends a corresponding message to the switch.
Step 7
The call arrives at the destination switch and is reported to the destination
T-Server via CTI. The call is matched by means of ISCC, based on the
specified cast-type setting and allocated resource, and then the call is assigned
a requested call context (such as ConnID or call data). Upon successful
transaction completion, the destination T-Server notifies the client by sending
EventRemoteConnectionSuccess.
The destination T-Server waits for the call no longer than the interval specified
by the timeout that is configured on the destination T-Server. If the call is not
received at the destination location within this interval, the destination
T-Server issues a failure notification to the client by sending

66 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
direct-ani
With the transaction type direct-ani, the ANI call attribute is taken as the
parameter for call matching. Properly configured switches and trunks can keep
the ANI attribute when a call is transferred over the network. T-Server can use
this network feature for call matching.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 67
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
direct-callid
With the transaction type direct-callid, the call reaches the destination DN
directly from another location, and the CallID of the call is taken as the
attribute for call matching. When a call arrives at the final destination, the
destination T-Server identifies its CallID, and updates the call info if the
CallID matches.
Use this transaction type when the destination switch has the capability to
assign to an incoming call the same network-wide unique CallID that the
origination switch has already assigned to that call.
direct-network-callid
With the transaction type direct-network-callid, the call reaches the
destination DN directly from another location, and the NetworkCallID of the
call is taken as the attribute for call matching. When a call arrives at the final
destination, the destination T-Server identifies its NetworkCallID, and updates
the call info if the NetworkCallID matches.
68 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
Use this transaction type when the destination switch has the capability to
assign to an incoming call the same network-wide unique NetworkCallID that
the origination switch has already assigned to that call.
Note: To support this transaction type, you must configure Target Type and
ISCC Protocol Parameters fields of the corresponding Switch Access
Code in the Configuration Layer. For information about settings that
are specific for your T-Server type, refer to Part Two of this document.
direct-uui
With the transaction type direct-uui, so-called user-to-user information (UUI)
is taken as the attribute for call matching. Some switches make it possible to
send a small data packet along with a call. T-Server can use this data to
recognize a call passed from one switch to another. The destination T-Server
generates a local unique value for UUI, and then notifies the origination
T-Server. The origination T-Server uses a provided value to mark the call
coming from the origination location. The destination T-Server receives a call
and checks whether it is marked with an exact UUI value. If so, the call is
considered to be matched.
On the Avaya Communication Manager and the Aspect ACD, UUI is referred
to as “user-to-user information.” On the Siemens Hicom 300 switch with
CallBridge, UUI is referred to as “Private User Data.” On the Alcatel
A4400/OXE switch, UUI is referred to as “correlator data.”
Note: To support this transaction type, you must configure your switches to
pass the UUI provided by your T-Server. You must also ensure that the
trunks involved do not drop this data.
direct-notoken
With the transaction type direct-notoken, T-Server expects a call to arrive
from another location to the destination DN specified in the request for routing
service availability. When a call reaches the specified DN, T-Server processes
the call as the expected externally-routed call.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 69
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
Notes: This matching criterion is weak because any call that reaches the
specified DN is considered to be the expected call. Genesys
recommends that you use this transaction type only in a contact
center subdivision that can only be reached from within the contact
center (such as the second line of support, which customers cannot
contact directly).
When using direct transaction types, Network T-Servers and
load-sharing IVR Servers are not meant to act as destination
T-Servers for call routing. Using Network T-Server with these
transaction types requires special architecture.
dnis-pool
With the dnis-pool transaction type, T-Server reserves one of its DNIS access
resources and waits for the call that has the same DNIS attribute as the name of
the reserved DNIS access resource.
If the arrived call is matched successfully, the destination T-Server may update
the value of the DNIS attribute of the call (along with ConnID, UserData,
CallType, and CallHistory) with the value of the DNIS attribute of the original
call. This occurs when the value of the DNIS attribute of the original call is
specified as a value of the key-value pair _ISCC_TRACKING_NUMBER_ in the
Extensions attribute of the original client request.
The DNIS matching can be based on any number of digits out of all the digits
that comprise the DNIS attribute. The number of digits that T-Server should use
for DNIS matching is specified for the destination switch as the ISCC Protocol
Parameters property of the Switch Access Code. The value syntax should be as
follows:
dnis-tail=<number-of-digits>
For example, if this property is set to the dnis-tail=7 value, ISCC matches
only the last seven digits of a DNIS.
You must configure DNIS access resources in the switch; otherwise, ISCC
fails to use this transaction type and sends EventError in response to the client
application request.
Note: The dnis-pool transaction type is typically used for networks that
employ a “behind the SCP” architecture, such as network IVR.
Network T-Server for GenSpec and IServer are two examples of this,
but other Network T-Servers might also be used in this architecture.
70 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
In Load-Balancing Mode
When T-Server uses load balancing for call routing with the dnis-pool
transaction type, the following processes occur:
1. A client of the origination T-Server sends a request to pass a call to the
location with a DNIS access resource specified in the key-value pair
iscc-selected-dnis.
2. The origination T-Server distributes the request for a routing service to all
destination T-Servers.
3. The destination T-Servers receive the request and check that the specified
DNIS is not being used by another routing service request.
4. The origination T-Server expects to receive a positive response from each
destination T-Server. If the origination T-Server receives a negative
response from at least one T-Server, it sends an EventError to the client and
clears all data about the request. If the origination T-Server receives the
confirmation about routing service availability from all destination
T-Servers, it processes the client’s request and sends a corresponding
message to the switch.
5. The origination switch processes the T-Server request and passes the call
to the destination switch.
6. The call arrives at the destination switch, which generates an alerting event
to one of the corresponding load-balanced destination T-Servers.
7. That destination T-Server processes the call and notifies the origination
T-Server that the routing service was successful and deletes all information
about the request.
8. The origination T-Server sends a routing service request cancellation to all
other destination T-Servers.
9. The origination T-Server notifies the client that the routing service has
been successful and deletes all information about the request.
pullback
Pullback is used in the following scenario, for those T-Servers that support it:
1. A call arrives at Site A served by a Network T-Server.
2. At Site A, a Network T-Server client requests to pass the call by means of
ISCC routing to Site B served by a premise T-Server. Any transaction type
except reroute or pullback can be specified in this request.
3. The call arrives at Site B and is either answered by an agent or delivered to
a routing point.
4. A client of the premise T-Server at Site B sends a TRouteCall or
TSingleStepTransfer request to transfer the call to the network.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 71
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
5. The Site B premise T-Server notifies the Network T-Server about this
request.
6. The network T-Server receives the notification and issues an
EventRouteRequest to obtain a new destination.
7. After receiving the new destination information, the Network T-Server
disconnects the call from its current premise location at Site B and attempts
to route the call to the new destination.
8. The Site B premise T-Server stops tracking the call, which has
disconnected from the premise’s agent DN or routing point and is delivered
to the network.
9. The network T-Server completes routing the call to its new destination.
Note: The transaction type pullback can only be used to return a call from a
premise T-Server to the Network T-Server that serves the site from
which the call was previously transferred.
reroute
Reroute is used in the following scenario, for those T-Servers that support it:
1. A call arrives at Site A served by a Network T-Server.
2. At Site A, a Network T-Server client requests to pass the call by means of
ISCC to Site B served by a premise T-Server. Any transaction type except
reroute or pullback can be specified in this request.
3. An agent at Site B answers the call.
4. A client of the premise T-Server at Site B sends a TSingleStepTransfer or
TRouteCall request to transfer the call elsewhere (to a PSTN, to an agent,
or to a routing point).
5. The Site B premise T-Server notifies the Network T-Server about this
request and releases the call leg that resides at the agent’s phone (using
TReleaseCall) or at the Routing Point (using TRouteCall with the parameter
RouteTypeCallDisconnect).
6. The Network T-Server receives the notification and reroutes the call to the
requested destination by sending EventRouteRequest and attaching the
call’s user data.
72 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
Notes: The transaction type reroute can only be used to return a call from a
premise T-Server to the Network T-Server that serves the site from
which the call was previously transferred.
To perform multi-site operations that are initiated with TRouteCall
and for which the reroute transaction type is requested, the
origination T-Server must support the RouteTypeCallDisconnect
subtype of TRouteCall.
route
With the transaction type route (aliased as route-notoken), a call from the
origination location reaches a dedicated External Routing Point, and from
there, it is routed to a destination DN.
To control configured External Routing Points, T-Server must register these
DNs with the switch. Failure to register implies that the External Routing Point
is not available for ISCC purposes. Client applications can register External
Routing Points via T-Server for monitoring purposes only.
Point-to-Point (One-to-One)
In the Point-to-Point access mode, only one trunk line is used to access an
External Routing Point (for example, VDN, CDN) at the destination site. See
Figure 8.
Trunk Line 1
External Routing Point 1
Trunk Line 2
External Routing Point 2
Trunk Line 3
External Routing Point 3
Note: Dedicated DNs of the External Routing Point type must be configured
in a switch. See “Configuring Multi-Site Support” on page 100.
Multiple-to-Point (Multiple-to-One)
In the Multiple-to-Point access mode, trunk lines are assigned to the
destination switch’s trunk group, from which calls are routed to the final
destination. See Figure 9.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 73
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC Call Data Transfer Service
Trunk Line 1
Trunk Line 2
External Routing Point
Trunk Line 3
With this configuration, all calls reach the same External Routing Point. The
DNIS attribute of a specific call differs from that of other calls and uniquely
identifies the trunk from which the call arrived.
Note: To switch to this operating mode, you must configure the route-dn
configuration option for T-Server.
route-uui
The route-uui transaction type employs the dedicated External Routing Point
feature of the route transaction type (page 73) and the UUI matching feature of
the direct-uui transaction type (page 69). This transaction type accommodates
those switches that require a designated External Routing Point even though
they use UUI for tracking.
Note: To support this transaction type, you must configure your switches to
pass the UUI provided by your T-Server. You must also ensure that
the trunks involved do not drop this data.

using a hunt group with calls being deflected or transferred from the hunt-group member when routing. When a

Start of procedure
1. Open the T-Server Application’s Properties dialog box.
2. Click the Options tab.
3. Set the tcs-use configuration option to always.
4. Set the tcs-queue configuration option to the number of a DN on the
origination switch.
ISCC uses this DN as an intermediate step when sending calls to the
remote location. The DN that is configured as tcs-queue receives attached
data indicating the Feature Access Code (FAC) needed to reach the remote
site. After a call is directed to the DN with data, a monitoring application
takes the data and generates the required DTMF (dual-tone
multifrequency) tones to redirect the call through the network to the remote
location.
5. When you are finished, click Apply.
6. Click OK to save your changes and exit the Properties dialog box.
End of procedure
Note: With T-Server for Avaya Communication Manager, you can use
RequestRouteCall with RouteTypeOverwriteDNIS to initiate the playing
of DTMF tones. This is done through the use of another intermediate
DN (typically, an announcement port configured to give the silent
treatment), to which the call is routed. When the call is established on
this DN, T-Server requests that the digits sent in the DNIS field of the
TRouteCall be played by using the ASAI-send-DTMF-single procedure.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 79
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC/Call Overflow Feature
T-Server uses two methods to handle call overflow and manual transfer
scenarios. The first method is based on NetworkCallID matching and the second
method is based on ANI/OtherDN matching.
When connected to each other via switch-specific networks, switches of some
types can pass additional information along with transferred calls. This
information may contain the NetworkCallID of a call, which is a networkwide
unique identifier of the call.
When connected via a regular PSTN, switches of all types can send the ANI
and/or OtherDN attributes to the destination switch during any call transfer
operation.
While all T-Servers support the ISCC/COF feature using the ANI and/or
OtherDN attributes, only a few support this feature using the NetworkCallID
attribute. Table 4 shows the T-Server types that provide the NetworkCallID of a
call.
Table 4: T-Server Support of NetworkCallID for ISCC/COF Feature

The ISCC/COF feature can use any of the three attributes (NetworkCallID,
ANI, or OtherDN) as criteria for matching the arriving call with an existing call
at another location. Consequently, the attribute that is used determines what

T-Server—Deployment Guide 81
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support ISCC/Call Overflow Feature
Step 2
Switch A (the origination switch) passes the call to Switch B (the destination
switch).
Step 3
The call reaches the destination switch, which notifies the destination T-Server
about the arrived call.
Step 4
The destination T-Server verifies with remote locations whether the call
overflowed at any of them.
To determine which calls to check as possibly having overflowed, T-Server
relies on the Switch object and the presence of DNs on the Switch configured
as the Access Resource type with the Resource Type set either to cof-in
(COF-IN DNs) or to cof-not-in (COF-NOT-IN DNs):
T-Server skips an arriving call when one of following conditions is met:
• The call arrives at a DN configured as an Enabled COF-NOT-IN DN.
• COF-IN DNs are configured, but the call arrives at a DN other than one of
the configured COF-IN DNs or to a COF-IN DN which is Disabled.
In all other cases, the call is checked for overflow.
To determine which location the call arrived from, T-Server checks the call
type and checks whether the call has the NetworkCallID, ANI, or OtherDN
attribute:
• If the call is not an inbound call, the request for call data is sent to all
remote locations except those whose Switch Access Code has the ISCC
Call Overflow Parameters property set to inbound-only=true.
• If the call of any type has the NetworkCallID attribute, the destination
T-Server sends a request for call data to the remote locations of the same
switch type as the destination location if their Switch Access Codes have
the ISCC Call Overflow Parameters property set to match-callid.
• If the call of any type has the ANI or OtherDN attribute, the request for call
data is sent to remote locations whose Switch Access Code has the ISCC
Call Overflow Parameters property set to match-ani.
Step 5
The destination T-Server waits (suspending events related to that call) for the
call data from the remote T-Server for the time interval specified in the
cof-ci-req-tout configuration option. Within this interval, T-Server holds any
events related to the call. In addition, the cof-ci-defer-delete option on the
origination T-Server establishes the time interval only after which that
T-Server deletes the call information. And the cof-ci-wait-all, if set to true,
82 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Number Translation Feature
forces the origination T-Server to wait for responses related to possible call
overflow situations before updating call data.
Step 6
The T-Server at the location from which the call was transferred or overflowed
sends call data to the requesting T-Server.
Step 7
If a positive response to the call-data request is received, T-Server updates
ConnID, UserData, CallType, and CallHistory, distributes all suspended
events related to that call, and deletes all information regarding the transaction
(Step 9).
Step 8
If the timeout set by cof-ci-req-tout expires, T-Server distributes all
suspended events, and starts the timeout specified by the cof-rci-tout option.
If a positive response is received within the timeout set by cof-rci-tout,
T-Server updates the ConnID, UserData, CallType, and CallHistory, and
notifies client applications by distributing EventPartyChanged.
Step 9
T-Server deletes all information regarding the transaction when one of these
results occurs:
• The first positive response to the call-data request is received.
• Negative responses from all queried locations are received.
• The timeout specified by the cof-rci-tout option expires.

Note: The following notation explanations begin with the highest level
notation. Each explanation includes the name of a component notation
and a basic definition of each component that it contains. Some
components require more detailed definitions, which are included
later in this section.
84 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Number Translation Feature
Component Notations
Component notations include:
• dialing-plan = *dialing-plan-rule
where:
dialing-plan-rule represents the name of the rule. Each rule must
have a unique name. There are no other naming restrictions, and you
do not need to model your names according to the examples in this
chapter.
The rules are represented as separate options in the configuration. Also,
fields from a rule are represented as parameters in a single option string.
• rule = [name] in-pattern [out-pattern]
where:
[name] is the name for the rule option, for example, rule-01. In ABNF
notation, the brackets [] indicate that 0 or 1 instance of the component
is required. However, for T-Server, a name is required.
in-pattern is the part of the rule to which T-Server looks when
attempting to match the input number.
[out-pattern] is the part of the rule that instructs T-Server on how to
translate the input number into the required format. The brackets
indicate that either 0 or 1 instance is required. You must create an
out-pattern for number translation rules.
• name = *( ALPHA / DIGIT / "-")
where:
ALPHA indicates that letters can be used in the name for the rule option.
DIGIT indicates that numbers can be used in the name for the rule
option.
“-” indicates that a dash (-) can also be used in the option name, for
example, rule-01.
• in-pattern = 1*(digit-part / abstract-group)
where:
digit-part represents numbers. T-Server uses this when selecting the
most appropriate rule from the entire dialing plan.
abstract-group represents one or more letters with each letter
representing one or more numbers. T-Server uses this when
transforming a dial string.
For example, [1-9] is the digit-part (representing a range of numbers)
and ABBB is the abstract-group for in-pattern=[1-9]ABBB.
• out-pattern = 1*(symbol-part / group-identifier) *param-part
where:
symbol-part represents digits, symbols, or a combination. Symbols are
rarely used. They are not used in the United States.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 85
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Number Translation Feature
group-identifier are letters that represent groups of numbers. A letter
in the out-pattern represents one or more digits, based on the number
of times the letter is used in the in-pattern.
*param-part represents an additional parameter, such as
phone-context. Reminder: an asterisk means that 0 to an infinite
number of these are acceptable.
For example, in rule-04; in-pattern=1AAABBBCCC;out-pattern=91ABC, 91
is the symbol-part; A, B, and C are group-identifiers in the out-pattern,
each representing three digits, since there are three instances of each in the
in-pattern.
Note: Prefix an out-pattern value with a plus sign (+) for the inbound
rule when the output must be in a global form (E.164 format).

Rule Examples
This section provides examples of six rules that are configured as options in
the Genesys Configuration Database. It also provides examples of how
T-Server applies rules to various input numbers.
Rules
rule-01 in-pattern=[1-8]ABBB;out-pattern=AB
rule-02 in-pattern=AAAA;out-pattern=A
rule-03 in-pattern=1[415,650]A*B;out-pattern=B

rule-05 in-pattern=*A913BBBB;out-pattern=80407913B
rule-06 in-pattern=011#CA*B;out-pattern=9011AB
Examples
Here are examples of how T-Server applies configured above rules to various
input numbers.
Example 1 T-Server receives input number 2326.
As a result of the rule selection process, T-Server determines that the matching
rule is rule-01:
name=rule-01;in-pattern=[1-8]ABBB;out-pattern=AB
The matching count for this rule is 1, because Group A matches the digit 2.
As a result of the parsing process, T-Server detects two groups: Group A = 2
and Group B = 326.
T-Server formats the output string as 2326.
Example 2 T-Server receives input number 9122.
As a result of the rule selection process, T-Server determines that the matching
rule is rule-02:
name=rule-02;in-pattern=AAAA;out-pattern=A
T-Server—Deployment Guide 89
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Number Translation Feature
The matching count for this rule is 0; however, the overall length of the input
number matches that of the in-pattern configuration.
As a result of the parsing process, T-Server detects one group: Group A =
9122.
T-Server formats the output string as 9122.
Example 3 T-Server receives input number 16503222332.
As a result of the rule selection process, T-Server determines that the matching
rule is rule-03:
name=rule-03;in-pattern=1[415,650]A*B;out-pattern=B
The matching count for this rule is 4, because the first digit matches and all
three digits in Group A match.
As a result of the parsing process, T-Server detects two groups: Group A = 650
and Group B = 3222332.
T-Server formats the output string as 3222332.
Example 4 T-Server receives input number 19253227676.
As a result of the rule selection process, T-Server determines that the matching
rule is rule-04:
name=rule-04;in-pattern=1AAABBBCCCC;out-pattern=91ABC
The matching count for this rule is 1, because the first digit matches.
As a result of parsing process, T-Server detects three groups: Group A = 925,
Group B = 322, and Group C = 7676.
T-Server formats the output string as 919253227676.
Example 5 T-Server receives input number 4089137676.
As a result of rule selection process, T-Server determines that the matching
rule is rule-05:
name=rule-05;in-pattern=*A913BBBB;out-pattern=80407913B
The matching count for this rule is 3, because three digits match.
As a result of the parsing process, T-Server detects two groups: Group A = 408
and Group B = 7676.
T-Server formats the output string as 804079137676.
Example 6 T-Server receives input number 011441112223333.
As a result of the rule selection process, T-Server determines that the matching
rule is rule-06:
name=rule-06;in-pattern=011#CA*B;out-pattern=9011AB
The matching count for this rule is 3, because three digits match.
As a result of the parsing process, T-Server detects two groups: Group A = 44
and Group B = 1112223333.
T-Server formats the output string as 9011441112223333.

Network Attended
Transfer/Conference Feature
The Network Attended Transfer/Conference (NAT/C) feature is designed to
enable agents working in multi-site contact centers to consult with each other
before making call transfers or conferences, regardless of whether both agents
work at the same or different sites. It also enables the agent who requests a
consultation to maintain his or her conversation with the customer while the
system is looking for an available agent and setting up the consultation call.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 91
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Network Attended Transfer/Conference Feature
The NAT/C feature does not rely on the call transfer capabilities of the local
switch.
There are two modes in which the network attended transfer/conference can be
performed: direct and URS-controlled. Figure 11 shows the sequence of steps
that occur in URS-controlled mode, when Agent A, who is handling a customer
call, requests a consultation with another agent, and URS (Universal Routing
Server) selects Agent B, who is working at another site. The direct mode is
similar to the URS-controlled mode, with the difference that URS is not
involved in the process (Step 2 and Step 3 are omitted).

Step 1
Agent A makes a request for a consultation with another agent. A
TNetworkConsult request is relayed to the Network T-Server. Depending on the
parameter settings of the TNetworkConsult request, the NAT/C feature will
operate in either direct or URS-controlled mode. For more information, see the
Voice Platform SDK 8.x .NET (or Java) API Reference.
Step 2
(URS-controlled mode only.) The Network T-Server sends EventRouteRequest
to URS.
Step 3
(URS-controlled mode only.) URS locates an available agent at Site B and
instructs the Network T-Server to route the call to Agent B. The Network
92 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Event Propagation Feature
Step 4
The Network T-Server proceeds to obtain the access number from T-Server B,
and passes the call data to T-Server B. (See “ISCC Call Data Transfer Service”
on page 59 for details.)
Step 5
The Network T-Server instructs the Service Control Point (SCP) to initiate a
new voice path with Agent B. Once the connection is confirmed, the Network
T-Server distributes EventNetworkCallStatus to both T-Server A and T-Server
B, which then relay it to Agent A and Agent B respectively, to indicate that the
consultation call is being established.
The Network T-Server also distributes EventRouteUsed to URS to confirm
successful routing of the call to the selected agent.
Step 6
At this point, the customer is on hold, and Agent A is consulting with Agent B.
Agent A can do one of the following:
• End the consultation and retrieve the original customer call
• Alternate between Agent B and the customer
• Set up a conference call with Agent B and the customer
• Transfer the customer call to Agent B
T-Server—Deployment Guide 93
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Event Propagation Feature
The Event Propagation feature consists of User Data update propagation and
Party Events propagation.
94 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Event Propagation Feature
Because T-Server at location C did not send the call to any other locations,
and T-Server at location A originated the call, neither of these T-Servers
passes the notification to any other T-Servers. T-Servers at locations C and
A update the user data of the corresponding local calls and notify their
clients about the changes with EventAttachedDataChanged.
• When T-Server at location C receives a local update to user data, it notifies
T-Server at location B (from which it received the call) about changes to
the call’s user data. Thus, T-Server at location B receives a remote update
to user data and, in turn, notifies T-Server at location A (from which it
received the call) about these changes.
Although T-Server at location A receives a remote update to user data, it
does not pass the notification to any other T-Servers, because it originated
the call. T-Servers at locations B and A update the user data of the
corresponding local calls and notify their clients about the changes with
EventAttachedDataChanged.
When a call is distributed between location A and location C using location B,
and is then deleted on location B, propagation between locations A and C still
occurs through the transit node at location B.
T-Server—Deployment Guide 95
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Event Propagation Feature
Switch Partitioning
A multi-site environment with switch partitioning or intelligent trunks can be
defined as a configuration of multiple virtual switches (or Switch objects) that
are defined in Configuration Manager under a single Switching Office object
representing a physical switch. Each Switch object has its own instance of a
T-Server application. All T-Server applications connect to the switch via the
same or different CTI link or a gateway. (See Figure 12.)
When the Event Propagation feature is active, updated user data and
party-related events—EventPartyChanged, EventPartyDeleted, and
EventPartyAdded—are propagated to T-Servers that are involved in call
transactions, such as transfer or conference. However, with switch partitioning,
the call instances may reside at one partition or at different partitions.
Site A
T-Server
T-Server Client
T-Server
T-Server Client
Switch
Starting with version 8.0, in addition to ConnIDs and UserData, T-Server can
synchronize the CallType attribute. Each T-Server is required to register all
DNs it monitors. In a multi-partitioned environment, when configured, calls
between partitions are reported as internal (CallTypeInternal). In a
non-partitioned environment, such calls are reported as inbound
(CallTypeInbound) and/or outbound (CallTypeOutbound), depending on the
direction of a call. In order for T-Servers to report calls between specified
partitions as internal, registered DNs of these partitions must be assigned to a
Switch (T-Server), Switching Office, or Tenant, using the dn-scope
configuration option. If DNs that are involved in calls are not in the T-Server
scope, those DNs will be reported as inbound or outbound.
In addition, T-Server supports LocalCallType and PropagatedCallType
attributes, which depend on the propagated-call-type configuration option
setting for reporting. See the option description on page 222.

Modifying Event Propagation: advanced configuration
98 Framework 8.1
Chapter 4: Multi-Site Support Event Propagation Feature
Prerequisites
• Procedure: Activating Event Propagation: basic configuration, on page 98
Overview
You can set Event Propagation parameters using:
• The Default Access Code properties of the Switch that receives an
ISCC-routed call (the destination switch).
• The Access Code properties of the Switch that passes an ISCC-routed call
(the origination switch).
If you do not set up Event Propagation parameters for a given Access Code,
T-Server uses corresponding settings configured for the Default Access Code
of the destination switch.
The procedures for modifying Default Access Codes and Access Codes are
very similar to each other.
Start of procedure
1. Among configured Switches, select the Switch that the configured
T-Server relates to.
2. Open the Switch’s Properties dialog box and click either the Default
Access Codes tab or the Access Codes tab.
3. Select a configured Default Access Code or configured Access Code and
click Edit.
4. In the Switch Access Code Properties dialog box that opens, specify a value
for the ISCC Protocol Parameters field as follows:
To enable distribution of both user data associated with the call and
call-party–associated events1, type:
propagate=yes
which is the default value.
To enable distribution of user data associated with the call and disable
distribution of call-party–associated events, type:

this chapter.
For T-Server to support multi-site operation, you must create and configure
three types of objects in the Configuration Layer:
1. Applications
2. Switches, including Access Codes
3. DNs
You must configure these objects for origination and destination locations.
Multi-site support features activate automatically at T-Server startup. See
“DNs” on page 108 for details.
Applications
Ensure that T-Server Application objects, and their corresponding Host
objects, exist and are configured for origination and destination locations.
Once you’ve done that, use Configuration Manager to add this configuration to
a T-Server Application.
Procedure:
Configuring T-Server Applications
Start of procedure
1. Open the T-Server Application’s Properties dialog box.
2. Click the Connections tab and click Add to add a connection to the
appropriate T-Server. The Connection Info Properties dialog box displays.
3. Use the Browse button to search for the T-Server you want to connect to,
and fill in the following values:
Port ID
Connection Protocol
Local Timeout
Remote Timeout
Trace Mode
4. Click the Options tab. Create a new section called extrouter or open an
existing section with this name.
Note: If you do not create the extrouter section, T-Server uses the
default values of the corresponding configuration options.

Compatibility Notes
When migrating from previous releases of T-Servers to 8.1, or when using
T-Servers of different releases (including 8.1) in the same environment, keep
in mind the following compatibility issues:
• The Target External Routing Point value of the Target Type field is
obsolete and provided only for backward compatibility with T-Servers of
releases 5.1 and 6.0. When two access codes for the same switch are
configured, one with the Target ISCC target type and the other with the
Target External Routing Point target type, T-Servers of releases 8.x, 7.x,
6.5, and 6.1:
Use the Target ISCC access code for transactions with T-Servers of
releases 8.x, 7.x, 6.5, and 6.1.
Use the Target External Routing Point access code for transactions
with T-Servers of releases 5.1 and 6.0.
When the only access code configured for a switch has the Target External
Routing Point target type, T-Server uses this access code for all
transactions.
• When the Target External Routing Point value of the Target Type field is
configured, you must set the Route Type field to one of the following:
Default to enable the route transaction type
Label to enable the direct-ani transaction type
Direct to enable the direct transaction type
Note: The direct transaction type in releases 5.1 and 6.0 corresponds to
the direct-callid transaction type in releases 6.1 and later.
UseExtProtocol to enable the direct-uui transaction type
PostFeature to enable the reroute transaction type
These values are fully compatible with the transaction types supported in
T-Server release 5.1.
• For successful multi-site operations between any two locations served by
release 5.1 T-Servers, identical Route Type values must be set in the
Switch’s Access Code Properties dialog boxes for both the origination and
destination switches.
DNs
Use the procedures from this section to configure access resources for various
transaction types.
Procedure:
Configuring access resources for the route
transaction type
Purpose: To configure dedicated DNs required for the route transaction type.
Prerequisites
• Ensure that Switching Office and Switch objects are configured for both
origination and destination locations.
Start of procedure
1. Under a configured Switch, select the DNs folder. From the main menu,
select File > New > DN to create a new DN object.
2. On the General tab of the DN’s Properties dialog box, specify the number
of the configured DN as the value of the Number field. This value must
correspond to the Routing Point number on the switch.
3. Select External Routing Point as the value of the Type field.
4. If a dialable number for that Routing Point is different from its DN name,
specify the number in the Association field.
5. Click the Access Numbers tab. Click Add and specify these access number
parameters:
Origination switch.
Access number that must be dialed to reach this DN from the
origination switch.
In determining an access number for the Routing Point, T-Server composes
it of the values of the following properties (in the order listed):
a. Access number (if specified).
b. Switch access code from the switch of the origination party to the
switch to which the Routing Point belongs, concatenated with its
Association (if the Association value is specified).
c. Switch access code from the switch of the origination party to the
switch to which the Routing Point belongs, concatenated with the
number for the DN.
d. Default access code of the switch to which the Routing Point belongs,
concatenated with its Association (if the Association value is
specified).
e. Default access code of the switch to which the Routing Point belongs,
concatenated with the number for the DN.
End of procedure
Procedure:
Configuring access resources for the dnis-pool
transaction type
Start of procedure
1. Under a configured Switch, select the DNs folder. From the main menu,
select File > New > DN to create a new DN object.
2. On the General tab of the DN’s Properties dialog box, specify the number
of the configured DN as the value of the Number field. This value must be a
dialable number on the switch.
3. Select Access Resource as the Type field and type dnis as the value of the
Resource Type field on the Advanced tab.
4. Click the Access Numbers tab. Click Add and specify these Access Number
parameters:
Origination switch.
Access number that must be dialed to reach this DN from the
origination switch.
An access number for the access resource is determined in the same
manner as for the route access resource.

notoken, ani, or digits.)
You can select the Use Override check box on the Advanced tab to indicate
whether the override value should be used instead of the number value to dial
to the DN. You must specify this value if the DN has a different DN name and
dialable number. In fact, this value is required for T-Servers for some switch
End of procedure
Procedure:
Configuring access resources for ISCC/COF
Start of procedure
1. Under a configured Switch, select the DNs folder. From the main menu,
select File > New > DN to create a new DN object.
2. On the General tab of the DN Properties dialog box, enter the name of the
configured DN in the Number field.
Note: The name of a DN of type Access Resource must match the name
of a DN in your configuration environment (typically, a DN of
type Routing Point or ACD Queue), so T-Server can determine
whether the calls arriving at this DN are overflowed calls.
Note: Calls coming to DNs with the cof-not-in value for the Resource
Type are never considered to be overflowed.
End of procedure
Procedure:
Configuring access resources for non-unique ANI
Start of procedure
1. Under a configured Switch, select the DNs folder. From the main menu,
select File > New > DN to create a new DN object.
2. On the General tab of the DN Properties dialog box, specify the ANI
digits that need to be excluded from normal processing.
3. Select Access Resource as the value for the Type field.
4. On the Advanced tab, specify the Resource Type field as non-unique-ani.
5. When you are finished, click Apply.
End of procedure
Procedure:
Modifying DNs for isolated switch partitioning
Start of procedure
1. Under a Switch object, select the DNs folder.
2. Open the Properties dialog box of a particular DN.
3. Click the Annex tab.
4. Create a new section named TServer.
5. Within that section, create a new option named epn. Set the option value to
the partition name to which the DN belongs.
6. Repeat Steps 1–5 for all DNs, including DNs of the External Routing Point
type, that belong to the same switch partition.
End of procedure
Configuration Examples
This section provides two configuration examples and describes how the
configuration settings affect T-Server’s behavior.
If you are using the direct-ani ISCC transaction type, the client
requests that T-Server deliver a call to a destination location using the
DN number 1234567, which is the Use Override value. ISCC requests
that the switch dial 91234567, which is a combination of the Switch
Access Code value and the Use Override value. The destination T-Server
is waiting for the call to directly arrive at DN number 5001234567.
Next Steps
Continue with Chapter 5, “Starting and Stopping T-Server Components,” on
page 115 to test your configuration and installation.
Command-Line Parameters
You can start and stop Framework components using the Management Layer, a
startup file, a manual procedure, or the Windows Services Manager.
With all these methods, command-line parameters are usually required for a
server application in addition to an executable file name.
Common command-line parameters are as follows:
Procedure:
Configuring T-Server to start with the Management
Layer
Start of procedure
1. Open the T-Server Application’s Properties dialog box.
2. Click the Start Info tab.
3. Specify the directory where the application is installed and/or is to run as

The command-line parameters common to Framework server components
are described on page 115.
6. When you are finished, click Apply.
7. Click OK to save your changes and exit the Properties dialog box.
End of procedure
Note: Before starting an application with the Management Layer, make sure
the startup parameters of the application are correctly specified in the
application’s Properties dialog box in Configuration Manager.
Note that when you start (or restart) an application via the Management Layer,
the application inherits environment variables from Local Control Agent
(LCA), which executes the startup command. Therefore, you must also set the
environment variables required by the application for the account that
runs LCA.
Procedure:
Starting T-Server on UNIX with a startup file
Start of procedure
1. Go to the directory where an application is installed.
2. Type the following command line:

End of procedure
Starting Manually
When starting an application manually, you must specify the startup
parameters at the command prompt, whether you are starting on UNIX or
Windows. At the command prompt, command-line parameters must follow the
name of the executable file. On the Shortcut tab of the Program Properties
dialog box, command-line parameters must also follow the name of the
executable file.
The command-line parameters common to Framework server components are
described on page 115.
If an Application object name, as configured in the Configuration Database,
contains spaces (for example, T-Server Nortel), the Application name must be
surrounded by quotation marks in the command-line:
-app “T-Server Nortel”
You must specify the rest of the command-line parameters as for any other
application.

6 HiPath 4000
Switch-Specific
Configuration
This chapter presents switch-specific reference information for configuring
T-Server for the Siemens HiPath 4000 CSTA III switch and includes these
sections:
Known Limitations, page 129
Support of Switch/CTI Environments, page 132
Setting the DN Properties, page 133.
Switch Terminology, page 138
Configuration Requirements for CAP 3.0 and CAP 3.0 Inside, page 139
Support for Emulated and Supervised Routing, page 140
Known Limitations
The list below describes the more static limitations in the way T-Server and the
relevant switch interact. Please refer to the Release Note for this product for
the most up-to-date list of known limitations and detailed scenarios in which
they apply. “Integration Notes” on page 192 gives useful information on
integration issues between T-Server and other Genesys software and solutions.
1. If a secret DN redirects a call, the PBX does not give any indication that
the DN is secret, so T-Server cannot hide the DN in events after the
redirect.
2. The One Number Service (ONS) allows two phone sets to be linked
together so that if either number is dialled both phone sets will ring. The
numbers are set up so that one is Primary and one is a Slave.
This feature has the following CTI limitations:
When either number is dialled, in CTI, only a Ringing is received on
the Primary. It is therefore possible to answer the call only on the
Primary through CTI.
If one device is busy and either number is dialled, then the free device
does not ring. Instead an EventDestinationBusy message is received.
It is not possible to set Call Forward from the Primary to the Slave and
vice versa.
3. If DND and/or Forwarding are set, on startup, T-Server is unable to display
the correct status for these features for VoIP telephones. This is due to
switch reporting.
4. For PBX Boss/Secretary functionality, activation of the RNGXFER, REP and
DSS keys cannot be done through CTI. It must be done manually.
5. T-Server does not support partitioned-switch configurations.
6. It is not possible to transfer a conference. It is only possible to delete
oneself from the conference and not any other member of the conference.
7. When using MultiLine MultiDN configuration it is not possible to answer
a call through CTI on anything other than the main line. Calls ringing on
the other lines need to be answered manually. Also, if a call is established
on an unmonitored line then a call is received on a monitored line, it is not
possible to answer the second call through CTI. It is rejected by the PBX.
It has to be answered manually.
8. It is not possible to make a supervised route of a consultation call from an
emulated Routing Point to an ACD Queue.
9. If a direct call is made to an emulated Routing Point and not routed, after a
while the switch moves the call to another Hunt Group member. When this
happens the switch provides a ConnectionCleared event, but does not tell
T-Server that the call has been diverted. This means that on the emulated
Routing Point, T-Server generates EventQueued and EventRouteRequest
events, followed by an EventAbandoned event, and then a new EventQueued
and EventRouteRequest events. T-Server will retain the same ConnID. If
the rtmem-divert-tout option is set, the T-Server will suppress the
reporting of the change of route devices. If the option is not set, or set too
low, the T-Server will generate EventQueued and EventRouteRequest events.
10. When T-Server makes a single-step transfer through ISCC with the
configuration option, cast-type, set to direct-ani, the token used by
ISCC is the origination of the primary call and not the destination. This
does not match the ANI and the remote connection fails.
11. The switch reports forwarding to DNIT as forwarding to an RCG number.
You cannot cancel forwarding without providing the old number. But when
the number is provided in the Cancel Fwd request in the form as reported by
the switch, the switch rejects the request.
A call is single-step transferred to the Hunt Group.
21. The following limitations apply when dialing invalid numbers:
Making a call to an invalid destination:
In some cases, when an invalid destination is dialed over a trunk,
T-Server generates an EventDestinationBusy event with a call state of
SitInvalidNumber. However, on some trunk types, the PBX does not
provide enough messaging to generate this.
Making a consultation call to an invalid desalination:
On a consultation call, the PBX does not provide enough information
to generate an EventDestinationBusy event with a call state of
SitInvalidNumber.
Routing to an invalid/single-step transfer/redirect:
The PBX does not always provide a failed event when one of the above
requests is attempted to an invalid destination through a trunk.
Consequently, the operation often times out.
22. A consultation call to a busy destination cannot be released without
retrieving the primary call.
23. In order for TMakePredictiveCall to work with the business-call type
extension, the value of the configuration option, bsns-call-type, must be
set to the value ignore on the Annex tab of the RCG devices, as well as on
the distribution devices.
Note: There are several ways to configure special devices like trunks and
RCGs in Configuration Manager so that T-Server can monitor them.
You should only use one such valid representation for each device; you
should not configure several Configuration Manager devices that
would amount to the same device ID on the switch.
Agent Groups ACD Queue Not applicable Agent group devices are not
monitorable or dialable. However, it
is possible to monitor the number of
calls queued on any particular agent
group using events reported at the
RCG (Routing Point or ACD Queue).
It is also possible to follow and audit
the number of agents logged in and
available in any configured agent
group.
Device DN in Configuration
Manager should follow the pattern
g<group_number>. The group number
can be provided as decimal switch
notation (for example, g5), or CSTA
notation (switch notation +
H’ 1000000’, for example,
g16777221). T-Server automatically
adds the offset if the number is less
than the offset.
Analog Port Extension 8 Not applicable Provides special support for caller
VTO Port Voice Treatment hang-up scenarios for analog IVR
Port devices as well as analog dialing
devices used by CPDServer.
Notes:
• Always configure the switch VTO
ports as Voice Treatment Ports
in Configuration Manager.
• When Configuration Manager
devices of type extension have a
switch-specific type 8, T-Server
reports the EventReleased event
upon release of the remote party.
Hunt Group Routing Point Not applicable Specifies a Hunt Group with virtual
used for members that T-Server uses to
emulated emulate a Routing Point. Calls
routing delivered to Hunt Group members
are reported as delivered to the Hunt
Group and can be routed using this
single number.
Hunt Group Routing Point 2 Not applicable Calls landing on the Hunt Group can
used for CTI be diverted using CTI. This differs
routing from Emulated Routing, which uses
transfers for call distribution, and
requires physical digital phone sets to
be connected.
The device prefix ‘h’ is used to
configure the Hunt Groups in
Configuration Manager. To monitor a
Hunt Group, T-Server must monitor a
device identifier, and not a dialing
number, because the same Hunt
Group may have multiple access
numbers. The hunt group must be
configured as h<device_number>.
Either of the following can be used:
• The device number as reported by
the switch.
• The number that is left after
subtracting 0x5000000 (83886080
decimal) from the device number.
The Hunt Group device number can
be found out by dialing the access
number and examining the Delivered
event on the origination device.

Integration Notes, page 192
To specify the business call type for the new call, the Extensions attribute
BusinessCallType can be attached to the following requests:
• TMakeCall
• TInitiateTransfer
• TMuteTransfer
• TInitateConference
• TMakePredicitiveCall
• TAnswerCall
• TRouteCall
This Extensions attribute takes precedence over all other Configuration
Manager business call type configuration options. The Extensions attribute
can also be attached to TAnswerCall to specify the business call type for the
answering party and call.
If the call passes through more than one distribution device, then the usual
rules for assigning a business call type are followed. Once set, the business call
type cannot be overridden unless it is changed to be a business call.
When the configuration options inbound-bsns-calls, internal-bsns-calls,
and outbound-bsns-calls are set at the Application level, they control whether
the call type of the associated calls are to be classified as business calls. T-
Server will not classify the business type of the call using these options until
the destination is known. Also these options are not be used to set the
originating party’s business type as business until after the Dialing event has
been reported. (This is to ensure that Genesys reporting is consistent regardless
of the switch reported order of events).
The private request, TSetBusinessCall allows T-Server clients to set the
business call type of an existing call to be “business”. T-Server will respond to
a successful request by distributing the private event EventBusinessCallSet.
Call Transformation
Business type assignment at any stage does not affect parties already present in
the call, except for outbound calls that are configured to be treated as business
calls. In this case, the dialing party will become a business party as soon as T-
Server determines that the call is an outbound call. An outbound work-related
call remains work-related regardless of the option setting.
Calls that are already classified as private or work-related can only be
promoted to the business type. Changing between private and work-related is
not possible, regardless of device settings and request extensions.
Call transfers or conference calls result in the business classification
propagation from the transferring or conferencing main party to all be
participants of the secondary call.
Business Calls
T-Server automatically categorizes as a business call any call distributed to an
agent either from an ACD Queue or from a Routing Point.
Work-Related Calls
T-Server categorizes as a work-related call any non-business call that an agent
makes while in ACW.T-Server does not apply any automatic business-call
handling after a work-related call.
Because emulated agents can make or receive a direct work-related call while
in wrap-up time, T-Server pauses the emulated wrap-up timer for the duration
of such a call.
If an agent receives a direct work-related call during legal-guard time, T-Server
cancels the legal-guard timer and reapplies it at the end of the work-related
call.
Private Calls
T-Server categorizes as a private call any call that does not fall into the
business or work-related categories. T-Server does not apply any automatic
business-call handling after a private call. If emulated agents receive a direct
private call while in wrap-up or legal-guard time, the emulated wrap-up or
legal-guard timer is not interrupted.
Feature Configuration
Use the following configuration options to define what additional calls to or
from an agent are classified as business calls:
• agent-only-private-calls
• bsns-call-type
• bsns-call-dev-types
• inbound-bsns-calls
• inherit-bsns-type
• internal-bsns-calls
• outbound-bsns-calls
• unknown-bsns-calls
Note: The Genesys Events and Models Reference Manual and the Voice
Platform SDK 8.x .NET (or Java) API Reference define which agent
state/agent mode transitions are permissible.
Note: Changing the value of untimed ACW can affect the interpretation of
all integer values of the wrap-up-time configuration option in
Configuration Manager. If the value is lowered, it may change timed
ACW to untimed, or disable ACW altogether. If the value is raised, it
may change untimed, or disabled ACW to timed ACW. The use of the
new option (string) value untimed is encouraged where possible to
minimize the impact of any future changes to the value of the
configuration option, untimed-wrap-up-value.
Pending ACW
An agent can request emulated ACW, or override the period of (emulated)
ACW to be applied to themselves, while on an established call. T-Server
applies the emulated ACW when the call is released. The agent sends
TAgentReady with workmode = 3 to request pending ACW while on an
established call. The Extensions attribute, WrapUpTime, indicates the amount of
ACW that T-Server applies, using the following parameters and rules:
• Extensions missing—request is rejected
• Value = 0—ACW is disabled
• Value greater than 0—period of timed ACW in seconds
• Value = untimed—untimed ACW
If the request is successful, T-Server sends EventAgentReady with workmode = 3
(ACW). T-Server also indicates that the agent is in a pending ACW state by
adding the Extensions attribute, ReasonCode, with the new value PendingACW. It
also indicates the period of ACW to be applied using the Extensions attribute,
WrapUpTime.
An agent may alter the period of pending ACW by sending a new TAgentReady
with workmode = 3, using a different value for the Extensions attribute,
WrapUpTime. If the request is successful, T-Server sends another
EventAgentReady event, indicating the new value in the Extensions attribute,
WrapUpTime.
Note: To enable this feature, the agent desktop the Extensions attribute,
WrapUpTime, must be enabled on the agent desktop.
ACW In Idle
An agent can activate wrap-up time on request when idle, by issuing a
TAgentNotReady with workmode = 3 (AgentAfterCallWork) to request emulated
ACW while idle.
Extending ACW
An agent can request an extension to the amount of emulated ACW for a call
while in emulated ACW or in the legal-guard state.
The agent requests an extension to ACW by sending TAgentNotReady with
workmode = 3 (AgentAfterCallWork). T-Server determines the period of the
extended ACW from the Extensions attribute, WrapUpTime, as follows:
• Value = 0—No change to ACW period, but T-Server reports how much
ACW time remains.
• Value greater than 0—T-Server adds the given number of seconds to the
timed ACW period. Untimed ACW remains unaffected.
• Value = untimed—T-Server applies untimed ACW.
T-Server sends an EventAgentNotReady event with workmode = 3
(AgentAfterCallWork), reporting the newly extended amount of ACW using
the Extensions attribute, WrapUpTime. If the agent was in the emulated legal-
guard state, T-Server places the agent back into emulated ACW state.
The agent may extend the period of ACW as many times as desired. At the end
of the extended timed ACW period, T-Server applies legal guard if any is
configured. No legal guard is applied if the emulated ACW was untimed.
HA Synchronization
On startup and link re-establishment, the Hot Standby backup T-Server
requests the primary T-Server to send details of all agents. The primary
T-Server replies with all the information required for switchover, including all
emulated and switch-based data.
From this point on, the primary T-Server also sends a similar synchronization
message whenever an emulated agent’s state changes.
This means that a higher level of synchronization between the two T-Servers is
maintained at all times.
Feature Configuration
Note: This feature is not related to the predictive dialing algorithm OCS uses
to determine when to make the next call. This feature only concerns
the outbound-call mechanism. You cannot use Emulated Predictive
Dialing with Dialogic hardware.
To enable the Predictive Dialing feature in T-Server, you must configure (in
Configuration Layer) a number of devices corresponding to the number of
calls that can be made simultaneously. These devices are available as a pool for
T-Server to use for predictive dialing. They are not associated with any specific
dialing device (ACD Queue or Routing Point). They are configured in Genesys
Configuration Layer with switch-specific type 4.
Because of a small discrepancy in the way the availability of dialing devices is
calculated in T-Server and in OCS, Genesys recommends configuring extra
dialing devices. For example—if you plan to use five dialing devices in a
campaign, configure six dialing devices in T-Server.
immediately dropped. T-Server does not handle this requirement for the
duration of call distribution. The distribution mechanism must handle it.
If you use Universal Routing Server (URS) to distribute outbound calls to
agents, set the Timeout option in the Strategy Target-Selection object to an
appropriate value—for example, 1 second or 2 seconds.
Note: Your routing strategy is likely to fail if you set the value of Timeout to
0 (zero).
Once outbound calls have been successfully distributed to an agent, use the
value of the configuration option prd-dist-call-ans-time to limit the time
that a call rings on an agent desktop without being answered.
If T-Server has no dialing devices available at the time of a
TMakePredictiveCall request, it attempts to queue the request for the duration
specified in the configuration option, max-pred-req-delay. If a dialing device
becomes available, T-Server makes the call. If not, T-Server rejects the request.
Feature Configuration
Feature Configuration
Feature Configuration
T-Server provides the following two configuration options to enable and
disable Smart OtherDN Handling.
Configuration • convert-otherdn
Options
• vto-onhook-dly
Extensions Key T-Server provides an Extensions attribute key, ConvertOtherDN, to enable this
feature to be applied on a call-by-call basis.
Supported Requests
Table 14 shows the requests that assume the use of the OtherDN value as a
switch directory number, and can therefore support Smart OtherDN Handling.
Table 14: Requests That Support Smart OtherDN Handling
• RouteTypeAgentID No No
a. TMakePredictiveCall assumes that the directory number should be outside the switch; however, this
request could also support Smart OtherDN Handling.
b. TCallSetForward has a separate flag in the configuration option for enabling conversion.
c. T-Server cannot intercept these requests.
d. Only the listed route types are applicable for OtherDN conversion.
Feature Configuration
The following configuration options are available in the Link-Control section
of T-Server:
• kpl-interval sets the interval timer for KPL requests.
• kpl-tolerance sets the threshold at which T-Server either attempts to
reconnect to the link or issues a warning message.
Feature Configuration
The call-type-by-dn configuration option enables or disables the call type
prediction feature.
DN-Based Reporting
In DN-based reporting, information about the call release initiator will be
reported in the AttributeExtension using extension key ReleasingParty in
EventReleased and EventAbandoned events, when those events are distributed.
One of the following values will be reported in the ReleasingParty key:
• Local—The call is released because the ThisDN value in the EventReleased
was requesting the release.
• Remote—The call is released because the other party (which is remote to
ThisDN) in the EventReleased or EventAbandoned events was requesting
release operation.
• Unknown—The call is released, but T-Server cannot determine the release
initiator.
Call-Based Reporting
Independently of DN-based reporting, T-server provides the call release
initiator in AttributeCtrlParty for EventCallPartyDeleted and
EventCallDeleted events. For scenarios where T-Server cannot provide the
release initiator, AttributeCtrlParty will not appear in event reporting.
T-Server will provide AttributeCtrlParty reporting (for the party that initiated
the call release) either:
• When the call is released using a GCTI request and T-Server is aware of
the result of the requested operation, or;
• When the PBX CTI protocol provides reliable information about the
identity of party that released.
Feature Configuration
T-Server provides the releasing-party-report configuration option to enable
or disable the Call Release Tracking feature.
HA Considerations
Only the primary T-Server maintains the failed routing counter. The backup T-
server will not run the route-failure-alarm-period timer, and so keeps the
routing failure alarm in the canceled state.
On switchover from primary role to backup role, T-Server stops the route-
failure-alarm-period timer and clears any alarm internally, without sending
any LMS message.
On switchover from backup role to primary role, T-Server starts the route-
failure-alarm-period timer and starts counting route requests and routing
failures.
Feature Configuration
The following configuration options control the Failed Route Notification
feature:
• route-failure-alarm-high-wm
• route-failure-alarm-low-wm
• route-failure-alarm-period
Notes: A high or low watermark LMS message is only generated when there
is at least a 99.7% probability that the requisite threshold has been
crossed. Therefore, if the value for link-alarm-low is set to 0 (zero),
it cannot be crossed and no low alarm can be generated. Since a
subsequent high alarm LMS message will only be generated after a
low watermark message, no further alarms can be raised.
LMS Messages
High alarm
STANDARD Link bandwidth: %d1 requests per second exceeds alarm
threshold %d2 requests per second on CTI link ID %d3
Attributes:
%d1 represents estimated requests rate
%d2 represents link-alarm-high * max_bandwidth / 100
%d3 represents the CTI Link ID
Low alarm
STANDARD Link bandwidth: %d1 requests per second dropped below alarm
threshold %d2 requests per second on CTI link ID %d3
Attributes:
%d1 represents estimated requests rate
%d2 represents link-alarm-low * max_bandwidth / 100
%d3 represents the CTI Link ID
The LinkLoad key of the Extensions attribute has been introduced for the link
bandwidth feature. See the description of the Extensions key on page 181.
HA Considerations
If the primary T-Server is at the high watermark prior to a switchover, its state
is not transferred to the backup T-Server.
Feature Configuration
The following configuration options control the Link Bandwidth Monitoring
feature:
• link-alarm-high
• link-alarm-low
• use-link-bandwidth
Note: If the configuration option, accode-data, is set to any value other than
udata, then T-Server does not attach account codes to the user data.
Notes: • It is not possible to set a call associated account code for a call until
the call has been initiated.
• It is not possible to set a call associated account code for a finished
call after the call has been released.
T-Server can use the Call Locking feature as described in the Call
Concentrator 7 Reference Guide. When locking is enabled, T-Server locks the
call before the EventReleased event, if the call is to be retained, and unlocks it
as soon as the released call is deleted, for instance, at the end of ACW or when
the new call is initiated or received.
T-Server sends an EventUserEvent message immediately upon receipt of an
account code from the PBX. It is possible to set an account code by CTI during
this phase as described above using a TUpdateUserData request or a
TPrivateService request.
Feature Configuration
The following configuration options and Extensions attribute key enable T-
Server to keep connection IDs alive after a call is released, if there is automatic
ACW. This allows agents to enter call-related account codes during the ACW
phase:
Configuration • accode-data
Options
• accode-name
• accode-privateservice
• acw-retain-call
• acw-retain-lock
Walk-Away Codes
Any account code entered while an agent is idle and not-ready is treated by T-
Server as a walk-away code. T-Server reports these walk-away codes using an
EventAgentNotReady event with the predefined Extensions attribute key
ReasonCode in the AttributeExtensions field.
Feature Configuration
The following configuration options control the request handling
enhancements:
• call-rq-gap
• device-rq-gap
• max-outstanding
• rq-conflict-check
• rq-gap
T-Library Functionality
Table 16 presents T-Library functionality supported in the T-Server for
Siemens HiPath 4000 CSTA III. The table entries use these notations:
N—Not supported
Y—Supported
I—Supported, but reserved for Genesys Engineering
E—Event only supported
In Table 16, when a set of events is sent in response to a single request, the
events are listed in an arbitrary order. An asterisk (*) indicates the event that
contains the same Reference ID as the request. For more information, refer to
the Genesys Events and Models Reference Manual and the Voice Platform SDK
8.x .NET (or Java) API Reference.
Table 16 reflects only that switch functionality used by Genesys software and
might not include the complete set of events offered by the switch.

a. The switch rejects TRedirectCall for calls distributed through a Hunt Group.
b. You can delete only yourself from a conference. You cannot delete any other parties.
c. Starting in release 7.6, the subtype Reject no longer requires the SupervisedRoute = 1 Extension to clear the
call, because T-Server intelligently clears the call in the best manner for the switch.
d. The CSTA III GenerateDigits service request is acknowledged immediately by CAP, and no events follow
when the digits are actually sent. Therefore, T-Server generates EventDTMFSent as soon as the request is ac-
knowledged, not when generation of digits is complete. T-Server client applications should work out the
time required for service completion based on the digits’ string length and tone/pulse duration.
e. Two subtypes are supported by EventLocationInfo: LocationMonitorCanceled and InfoAllLocationsMonitor-
Canceled.
f. All T-Servers support NAT/C requests with AttributeHomeLocation, provided that this attribute identifies a
network location that is capable of processing such requests.

Integration Notes
URS In a single-step transfer from an analog device to an agent, the PBX never
sends a ConnectionCleared event for the analog device, which has to be
physically hung up. This means that using URS and an IVR treatment with the
value of the configuration option transfer_to_agent set to true, leaves the
analog device stuck.
Note: If the single-step transfer is made to a queuing device, then the switch
correctly sends an ConnectionCleared event.
VTO Chained consultation calls are not supported on analog lines. Also single-step
transfers of the destination of a consultation call from an analog line is not
supported as this affects VTO scenarios where a consultation call is made to a
Routing Point then routed to a VTO port.
If connected to a HiPath 4000 switch, VTServer cannot transfer a consultation
call by a two-step or a single-step transfer.
So, consultation calls to VTO ports must be transferred before VTO transfers
the call.
8 Common Configuration
Options
Unless otherwise noted, the common configuration options that this chapter
describes are common to all Genesys server applications and applicable to any
Framework server component. This chapter includes the following sections:
Setting Configuration Options, page 195
Mandatory Options, page 196
log Section, page 196
log-extended Section, page 210
log-filter Section, page 212
log-filter-data Section, page 212
security Section, page 213
sml Section, page 213
common Section, page 215
Changes from 8.0 to 8.1, page 215
Note: Some server applications also support log options that are unique to
them. For descriptions of a particular application’s unique log options,
refer to the chapter/document about that application.
Mandatory Options
You do not have to configure any common options to start Server applications.
log Section
This section must be called log.
verbose
Default Value: all
Valid Values:
all All log events (that is, log events of the Standard, Trace,
Interaction, and Debug levels) are generated.
debug The same as all.
trace Log events of the Trace level and higher (that is, log events of
the Standard, Interaction, and Trace levels) are generated, but
log events of the Debug level are not generated.
interaction Log events of the Interaction level and higher (that is, log
events of the Standard and Interaction levels) are generated,
but log events of the Trace and Debug levels are not generated.
standard Log events of the Standard level are generated, but log events
of the Interaction, Trace, and Debug levels are not generated.
none No output is produced.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Determines whether a log output is created. If it is, specifies the minimum
level of log events generated. The log events levels, starting with the highest
priority level, are Standard, Interaction, Trace, and Debug. See also “Log
Output Options” on page 202.
Note: For definitions of the Standard, Interaction, Trace, and Debug log
levels, refer to the Framework 8.0 Management Layer User’s Guide,
Framework 8.0 Genesys Administrator Help, or to Framework 8.0
Solution Control Interface Help.
buffering
Default Value: true
Valid Values:
true Enables buffering.
false Disables buffering.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Turns on/off operating system file buffering. The option is applicable only to
the stderr and stdout output (see page 202). Setting this option to true
increases the output performance.
segment
Default Value: false
Valid Values:
false No segmentation is allowed.
<number> KB or Sets the maximum segment size, in kilobytes. The minimum
<number> segment size is 100 KB.
<number> MB Sets the maximum segment size, in megabytes.
<number> hr Sets the number of hours for the segment to stay open. The
minimum number is 1 hour.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether there is a segmentation limit for a log file. If there is, sets the
mode of measurement, along with the maximum size. If the current log
segment exceeds the size set by this option, the file is closed and a new one is
created. This option is ignored if log output is not configured to be sent to a log
file.
expire
Default Value: false
Valid Values:
false No expiration; all generated segments are stored.
<number> file or Sets the maximum number of log files to store. Specify a
<number> number from 1–1000.
<number> day Sets the maximum number of days before log files are
deleted. Specify a number from 1–100.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Determines whether log files expire. If they do, sets the measurement for
determining when they expire, along with the maximum number of files
(segments) or days before the files are removed. This option is ignored if log
output is not configured to be sent to a log file.
keep-startup-file
Default Value: false
Valid Values:
false No startup segment of the log is kept.
true A startup segment of the log is kept. The size of the segment
equals the value of the segment option.
<number> KB Sets the maximum size, in kilobytes, for a startup segment of
the log.
<number> MB Sets the maximum size, in megabytes, for a startup segment
of the log.
Changes Take Effect: After restart
Specifies whether a startup segment of the log, containing the initial T-Server
configuration, is to be kept. If it is, this option can be set to true or to a specific
size. If set to true, the size of the initial segment will be equal to the size of the
regular log segment defined by the segment option. The value of this option
will be ignored if segmentation is turned off (that is, if the segment option set to
false).
messagefile
Default Value: As specified by a particular application
Valid Values: <string>.lms (message file name)
Changes Take Effect: Immediately, if an application cannot find its *.lms file
at startup
Specifies the file name for application-specific log events. The name must be
valid for the operating system on which the application is running. The option
value can also contain the absolute path to the application-specific *.lms file.
Otherwise, an application looks for the file in its working directory.
Warning! An application that does not find its *.lms file at startup cannot
generate application-specific log events and send them to Message
Server.
message_format
Default Value: short
Valid Values:
short An application uses compressed headers when writing log records in
its log file.
full An application uses complete headers when writing log records in its
log file.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the format of log record headers that an application uses when
writing logs in the log file. Using compressed log record headers improves
application performance and reduces the log file’s size.
With the value set to short:
• A header of the log file or the log file segment contains information about
the application (such as the application name, application type, host type,
and time zone), whereas single log records within the file or segment omit
this information.
• A log message priority is abbreviated to Std, Int, Trc, or Dbg, for Standard,
Interaction, Trace, or Debug messages, respectively.
• The message ID does not contain the prefix GCTI or the application type ID.
A log record in the full format looks like this:
2002-05-07T18:11:38.196 Standard localhost cfg_dbserver GCTI-00-05060
Application started
A log record in the short format looks like this:
2002-05-07T18:15:33.952 Std 05060 Application started
Note: Whether the full or short format is used, time is printed in the format
specified by the time_format option.
time_convert
Default Value: Local
Valid Values:
local The time of log record generation is expressed as a local time, based
on the time zone and any seasonal adjustments. Time zone
information of the application’s host computer is used.
utc The time of log record generation is expressed as Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC).
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the system in which an application calculates the log record time
when generating a log file. The time is converted from the time in seconds
since the Epoch (00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970).
time_format
Default Value: time
Valid Values:
time The time string is formatted according to the HH:MM:SS.sss (hours,
minutes, seconds, and milliseconds) format.
locale The time string is formatted according to the system’s locale.
ISO8601 The date in the time string is formatted according to the ISO 8601
format. Fractional seconds are given in milliseconds.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies how to represent, in a log file, the time when an application generates
log records.
A log record’s time field in the ISO 8601 format looks like this:
2001-07-24T04:58:10.123
print-attributes
Default Value: false
Valid Values:
true Attaches extended attributes, if any exist, to a log event sent to log
output.
false Does not attach extended attributes to a log event sent to log output.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether the application attaches extended attributes, if any exist, to a
log event that it sends to log output. Typically, log events of the Interaction log
level and Audit-related log events contain extended attributes. Setting this
option to true enables audit capabilities, but negatively affects performance.
Genesys recommends enabling this option for Solution Control Server and
Configuration Server when using audit tracking. For other applications, refer
to Genesys 8.0 Combined Log Events Help to find out whether an application
generates Interaction-level and Audit-related log events; if it does, enable the
option only when testing new interaction scenarios.
check-point
Default Value: 1
Valid Values: 0–24
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies, in hours, how often the application generates a check point log
event, to divide the log into sections of equal time. By default, the application
generates this log event every hour. Setting the option to 0 prevents the
generation of check-point events.
memory
Default Value: No default value
Valid Values: <string> (memory file name)
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the name of the file to which the application regularly prints a
snapshot of the memory output, if it is configured to do this (see “Log Output
Options” on page 202). The new snapshot overwrites the previously written
data. If the application terminates abnormally, this file will contain the latest
log messages. Memory output is not recommended for processors with a CPU
frequency lower than 600 MHz.
Note: If the file specified as the memory file is located on a network drive, an
application does not create a snapshot file (with the extension
*.memory.log).
memory-storage-size
Default Value: 2 MB
Valid Values:
<number> KB or <number> The size of the memory output, in kilobytes.
The minimum value is 128 KB.
<number> MB The size of the memory output, in megabytes.
The maximum value is 64 MB.
Changes Take Effect: When memory output is created
Specifies the buffer size for log output to the memory, if configured. See also
“Log Output Options” on page 202.
spool
Default Value: The application’s working directory
Valid Values: <path> (the folder, with the full path to it)
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the folder, including full path to it, in which an application creates
temporary files related to network log output. If you change the option value
while the application is running, the change does not affect the currently open
network output.
compatible-output-priority
Default Value: false
Valid Values:
true The log of the level specified by “Log Output Options” is sent to the
specified output.
false The log of the level specified by “Log Output Options” and higher
levels is sent to the specified output.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether the application uses 6.x output logic. For example, you
configure the following options in the log section for a 6.x application and for
a 7.x application:
[log]
verbose = all
debug = file1
standard = file2
The log file content of a 6.x application is as follows:
Warning! Genesys does not recommend changing the default value of this
option unless you have specific reasons to use the 6.x log output
logic—that is, to mimic the output priority as implemented in
releases 6.x. Setting this option to true affects log consistency.
Note: The log output options are activated according to the setting of the
verbose configuration option.
all
Default Value: No default value
Note: To ease the troubleshooting process, consider using unique names for
log files that different applications generate.
alarm
Default Value: No default value
Valid Values (log output types):
stdout Log events are sent to the Standard output (stdout).
stderr Log events are sent to the Standard error output (stderr).
network Log events are sent to Message Server, which resides anywhere
on the network, and Message Server stores the log events in the
Log Database.
memory Log events are sent to the memory output on the local disk. This
is the safest output in terms of the application performance.
[filename] Log events are stored in a file with the specified name. If a path
is not specified, the file is created in the application’s working
directory.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the outputs to which an application sends the log events of the Alarm
level. The log output types must be separated by a comma when more than one
output is configured. For example:
standard = stderr, network
standard
Default Value: No default value
Valid Values (log output types):
stdout Log events are sent to the Standard output (stdout).
stderr Log events are sent to the Standard error output (stderr).
network Log events are sent to Message Server, which can reside
anywhere on the network. Message Server stores the log events
in the Log Database.
memory Log events are sent to the memory output on the local disk. This
is the safest output in terms of the application performance.
[filename] Log events are stored in a file with the specified name. If a path
is not specified, the file is created in the application’s working
directory.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the outputs to which an application sends the log events of the
Standard level. The log output types must be separated by a comma when more
than one output is configured. For example:
standard = stderr, network
interaction
Default Value: No default value
Valid Values (log output types):
stdout Log events are sent to the Standard output (stdout).
stderr Log events are sent to the Standard error output (stderr).
network Log events are sent to Message Server, which can reside
anywhere on the network. Message Server stores the log events
in the Log Database.
memory Log events are sent to the memory output on the local disk. This
is the safest output in terms of the application performance.
[filename] Log events are stored in a file with the specified name. If a path
is not specified, the file is created in the application’s working
directory.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the outputs to which an application sends the log events of the
Interaction level and higher (that is, log events of the Standard and
Interaction levels). The log outputs must be separated by a comma when
more than one output is configured. For example:
interaction = stderr, network
trace
Default Value: No default value
debug
Default Value: No default value
Valid Values (log output types):
stdout Log events are sent to the Standard output (stdout).
stderr Log events are sent to the Standard error output (stderr).
memory Log events are sent to the memory output on the local disk. This
is the safest output in terms of the application performance.
[filename] Log events are stored in a file with the specified name. If a path
is not specified, the file is created in the application’s working
directory.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the outputs to which an application sends the log events of the Debug
level and higher (that is, log events of the Standard, Interaction, Trace, and
Debug levels). The log output types must be separated by a comma when more
than one output is configured—for example:
debug = stderr, /usr/local/genesys/logfile
Note: Debug-level log events are never sent to Message Server or stored in
the Log Database.
Examples
This section presents examples of a log section that you might configure for an
application when that application is operating in production mode and in two
lab modes, debugging and troubleshooting.
Warning! Directing log output to the console (by using the stdout or stderr
settings) can affect application performance. Avoid using these log
output settings in a production environment.
Note: If you are running an application on UNIX, and you do not specify
any files in which to store the memory output snapshot, a core file that
the application produces before terminating contains the most current
application log. Provide the application’s core file to Genesys
Technical Support when reporting a problem.
x-conn-debug-open
Default Value: 0
Valid Values:
0 Log records are not generated.
1 Log records are generated.

Default Value: 0
Valid Values:
0 Log records are not generated.
1 Log records are generated.
Changes Take Effect: After restart
Generates Debug log records about open connection, socket select, timer
creation and deletion, write, security-related, and DNS operations, and
connection library function calls. This option is the same as enabling or
disabling all of the previous x-conn-debug-<op type> options.
log-extended Section
This section must be called log-extended.
level-reassign-<eventID>
Default Value: Default value of log event <eventID>
Valid Values:
alarm The log level of log event <eventID> is set to Alarm.
standard The log level of log event <eventID> is set to Standard.
interaction The log level of log event <eventID> is set to Interaction.
trace The log level of log event <eventID> is set to Trace.
debug The log level of log event <eventID> is set to Debug.
none Log event <eventID> is not recorded in a log.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies a log level for log event <eventID> that is different than its default
level, or disables log event <eventID> completely. If no value is specified, the
log event retains its default level. This option is useful when you want to
customize the log level for selected log events.
These options can be deactivated with the option level-reassign-disable.
Example
This is an example of using customized log level settings, subject to the
following log configuration:
[log]
verbose=interaction
all=stderr
interaction=log_file
standard=network
level-reassign-disable
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
When this option is set to true, the original (default) log level of all log events
in the [log-extended] section are restored. This option is useful when you want
to use the default levels, but not delete the customization statements.
log-filter Section
The log-filter section contains configuration options used to define the
default treatment of filtering data in log output. This section contains one
configuration option, default-filter-type. Refer to the chapter “Hide
Selected Data in Logs” in the Genesys 8.x Security Deployment Guide for
complete information about this option.
log-filter-data Section
The log-filter-data section contains configuration options used to define the
treatment of filtering data in log output on a key-by-key basis. This section
contains one configuration option in the form of <key name>. Refer to the
chapter “Hide Selected Data in Logs” in the Genesys 8.0 Security Deployment
Guide for complete information about this option.
security Section
The security section contains configuration options used to specify security
elements for your system. In addition to other options that may be required by
your application, this section contains the configuration option disable-rbac,
which is used to enable or disable Role-Based Access Control for an
application. Refer to the chapter “Role-Based Access Control” in the Genesys
8.x Security Deployment Guide for complete information about this option.
sml Section
This section must be called sml.
Options in this section are defined in the Annex of the Application object, as
follows:
• in Genesys Administrator—Application object > Options tab > Advanced
View (Annex)
• in Configuration Manager— Application object > Properties dialog box >
Annex tab
heartbeat-period
Default Value: None
Valid Values:
0 This method of detecting an unresponsive application is not
used by this application.
3-604800 Length of timeout, in seconds; equivalent to 3 seconds–7 days.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the maximum amount of time, in seconds, in which heartbeat
messages are expected from an application. If Local Control Agent (LCA)
does not receive a heartbeat message from the application within this period, it
assumes the application is not responding and carries out corrective action.
This option can also be used to specify the maximum heartbeat interval for
threads registered with class zero (0). This thread class is reserved for use by
the Management Layer only.
If this option is not configured or is set to zero (0), heartbeat detection is not
used by this application.
heartbeat-period-thread-class-<n>
Default Value: None
Valid Values:
0 Value specified by heartbeat-period in application is used.
3-604800 Length of timeout, in seconds; equivalent to 3 seconds–7 days.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the maximum amount of time, in seconds, in which heartbeat
messages are expected from a thread of class <n> registered by an application.
If a heartbeat message from the thread is not received within this period, the
thread is assumed to be not responding, and therefore, the application is unable
to provide service.
If this option is not configured or is set to zero (0), but the application has
registered one or more threads of class <n>, the value specified by the value of
heartbeat-period for the application will also be applied to these threads.
Refer to application-specific documentation to determine what thread classes,
if any, are used.
hangup-restart
Default Value: true
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
If set to true (the default), specifies that LCA is to restart the unresponsive
application immediately, without any further interaction from Solution Control
Server.
If set to false, specifies that LCA is only to generate a notification that the
application has stopped responding.
suspending-wait-timeout
Default Value: 10
Valid Values: 5-600
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies a timeout (in seconds) after the Stop Graceful command is issued to
an application during which the status of the application should change to
Suspending if the application supports graceful shutdown. If the status of the
application does not change to Suspending before the timeout expires, it is
assumed that the application does not support graceful shutdown, and it is
stopped ungracefully.
Use this option if you are unsure whether the Application supports graceful
shutdown.
Note: Genesys recommends that you do not set this option for any
Management Layer component (Configuration Server, Message
Server, Solution Control Server, or SNMP Master Agent) or any DB
Server. These components by definition do not support graceful
shutdown, so this option is not required.
common Section
This section must be called common.
enable-async-dns
Default Value: off
Valid Values:
off Disables asynchronous processing of DNS requests.
on Enables asynchronous processing of DNS requests.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Enables the asynchronous processing of DNS requests such as, for example,
host-name resolution.
rebind-delay
Default Value: 10
Valid Values: 0–600
Changes Take Effect: After restart
Specifies the delay, in seconds, between socket-bind operations that are being
executed by the server. Use this option if the server has not been able to
successfully occupy a configured port.
9 T-Server Common
Configuration Options
This chapter describes the configuration options that are generally common to
all T-Server types, with some exceptions noted. It contains the following
sections:
Setting Configuration Options, page 217
Mandatory Options, page 218
TServer Section, page 218
license Section, page 223
agent-reservation Section, page 226
extrouter Section, page 227
backup-sync Section, page 238
call-cleanup Section, page 240
Translation Rules Section, page 241
security Section, page 242
Timeout Value Format, page 242
Changes from Release 8.0 to 8.1, page 243
T-Server also supports common log options described in Chapter 8, “Common
Configuration Options,” on page 195.
Mandatory Options
Except as noted for certain environments, the configuration of common
options is not required for basic T-Server operation.
TServer Section
The TServer section contains the configuration options that are used to support
the core features common to all T-Servers.
This section must be called TServer.
ani-distribution
Default Value: inbound-calls-only
Valid Values: inbound-calls-only, all-calls, suppressed
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Controls the distribution of the ANI information in TEvent messages. When
this option is set to all-calls, the ANI attribute will be reported for all calls for
which it is available. When this option is set to suppressed, the ANI attribute
will not be reported for any calls. When this option is set to
inbound-calls-only, the ANI attribute will be reported for inbound calls only.
background-processing
Default Value: true
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
When set to true, T-Server processes all client requests in the background,
giving higher priority to the rest of the messages. This ensures that it processes
these messages without any significant delay.
With Background Processing functionality enabled, T-Server processes all
switch messages immediately and waits until there are no switch messages
before processing the message queue associated with T-Server client requests.
T-Server reads all connection sockets immediately and places client requests in
the input buffer, which prevents T-Server clients from disconnecting because
of configured timeouts.
When T-Server processes client requests from the message queue, requests are
processed in the order in which T-Server received them.
When set to false, T-Server processes multiple requests from one T-Server
client before proceeding to the requests from another T-Server client, and so
on.
background-timeout
Default Value: 60 msec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time interval that T-Server waits before processing client requests
in background mode. You must set the background-processing option to true
in order for this option to take effect.
check-tenant-profile
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: For the next connected client
When set to true, T-Server only allows a client to register if the client
provides the correct name and password of a T-Server Tenant. If the client
provides the Tenant name concatenated with a slash (/) and the Tenant
password for the Tenant to which T-Server belongs as the value of
AttributeApplicationPassword in the TRegisterClient request, T-Server
allows that client to register DNs that are included in the switch configuration
in the Configuration Database, but it does not allow the client to register DNs
that are not included in the switch configuration.
consult-user-data
Default Value: separate
Valid Values:
separate Stores user data for original and consultation calls in separate
structures. The data attached to the original call is available for
review or changes only to the parties of that call. The data
attached to the consultation call is available only to the parties of
the consultation call.
inherited Copies user data from an original call to a consultation call when
the consultation call is created; thereafter, stores user data
separately for the original and the consultation call. Changes to
the original call’s user data are not available to the parties of the
consultation call, and vice versa.
joint Stores user data for an original call and a consultation call in one
structure. The user data structure is associated with the original
call, but the parties of both the original and consultation calls can
see and make changes to the common user data.
Changes Take Effect: For the next consultation call created
Specifies the method for handling user data in a consultation call.
Note: A T-Server client can also specify the consult-user-data mode in the
Extensions attribute ConsultUserData key for a conference or
transfer request. If it is specified, the method of handling user data is
based on the value of the ConsultUserData key-value pair of the
request and takes precedence over the T-Server consult-user-data
option. If it is not specified in the client request, the value specified in
the consult-user-data option applies.
customer-id
Default Value: No default value. (A value must be specified for a multi-tenant
environment.)
Valid Values: Any character string
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Identifies the T-Server customer. You must set this option to the name of the
tenant that is using this T-Server. You must specify a value for this option if
you are working in a multi-tenant environment.
dn-scope
Default Value: undefined
Valid Values: undefined, switch, office, tenant
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Switch Partitioning” on page 96
Specifies whether DNs associated with the Switch, Switching Office, or
Tenant objects will be considered in the T-Server monitoring scope, enabling
T-Server to report calls to or from those DNs as internal.
With a value of tenant, all DNs associated with the switches that are within
the Tenant will be in the T-Server monitoring scope. With a value of office,
all DNs associated with the switches that are within the Switching Office will
be in the T-Server monitoring scope. With a value of switch, all DNs
associated with the Switch will be in the T-Server monitoring scope.
With a value of undefined (the default), pre-8.x T-Server behavior applies and
the switch partitioning is not turned on.
log-trace-flags
Default Value: +iscc, +cfg$dn, -cfgserv, +passwd, +udata, -devlink, -sw,
-req, -callops, -conn, -client
Valid Values (in any combination):
+/-iscc Turns on/off the writing of information about Inter Server Call
Control (ISCC) transactions.
+/-cfg$dn Turns on/off the writing of information about DN
configuration.
+/-cfgserv Turns on/off the writing of messages from Configuration
Server.
+/-passwd Turns on/off the writing of AttributePassword in TEvents.
+/-udata Turns on/off the writing of attached data.
+/-devlink Turns on/off the writing of information about the link used to
send CTI messages to the switch (for multilink environments).
+/-sw Reserved by Genesys Engineering.
+/-req Reserved by Genesys Engineering.
+/-callops Reserved by Genesys Engineering.
+/-conn Reserved by Genesys Engineering.
+/-client Turns on/off the writing of additional information about the
client’s connection.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies—using a space-, comma- or semicolon-separated list—the types of
information that are written to the log files.
management-port
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: 0 or any valid TCP/IP port
Changes Take Effect: After T-Server is restarted
Specifies the TCP/IP port that management agents use to communicate with
T-Server. If set to 0 (zero), this port is not used.
merged-user-data
Default Value: main-only
Valid Values:
main-only T-Server attaches user data from the remaining call only.
merged-only T-Server attaches user data from the merging call.
merged-over-main T-Server attaches user data from the remaining and the
merging call. In the event of equal keys, T-Server uses data
from the merging call.
main-over-merged T-Server attaches data from the remaining and the merging
call. In the event of equal keys, T-Server uses data from the
remaining call.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the data that is attached to the resulting call after a call transfer,
conference, or merge completion.
Note: The option setting does not affect the resulting data for merging calls
if the consult-user-data option is set to joint. (See
“consult-user-data” on page 219.)
propagated-call-type
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Switch Partitioning” on page 96
Determines what T-Server reports as the value of the CallType attribute in
events related to calls that have been synchronized with another site via ISCC,
as follows:
• When set to false, T-Server reports in events related to calls that have
been synchronized with another site via ISCC the same value for the
CallType attribute as it did in pre-8.0 releases and adds the new
PropagatedCallType attribute with the value of the CallType attribute at the
origination site. This provides backward compatibility with existing
T-Server clients.
• When set to true, T-Server reports in events related to calls that have been
synchronized with another site via ISCC the same value for the CallType
attribute as at the origination site, and adds the new LocalCallType attribute
with the same value as CallType in pre-8.0 releases.
server-id
Default Value: An integer equal to the value ApplicationDBID as reported by
Configuration Server
Valid Values: Any integer from 0–16383
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the Server ID that T-Server uses to generate Connection IDs and
other unique identifiers. In a multi-site environment, you must assign each
T-Server a unique Server ID, in order to avoid confusion in reporting
applications and T-Server behavior.
Configuration of this option is necessary for Framework environments in
which there are two or more instances of the Configuration Database.
Note: If you do not specify a value for this option, T-Server populates it with
the ApplicationDBID as reported by Configuration Server. Each data
object in the Configuration Database is assigned a separate DBID that
maintains a unique Server ID for each T-Server configured in the
database.
user-data-limit
Default Value: 16000
Valid Values: 0–65535
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the maximum size (in bytes) of user data in a packed format.
license Section
The License section contains the configuration options that are used to
configure T-Server licenses. They set the upper limit of the seat-related DN
licenses (tserver_sdn) that T-Server tries to check out from a license file. See
“License Checkout” on page 224.
This section must be called license.
If you use two or more T-Servers, and they share licenses, you must configure
the following options in the license section of the T-Servers.
num-of-licenses
Default Value: 0 or max (all available licenses)
Valid Values: String max or any integer from 0–9999
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies how many DN licenses T-Server checks out. T-Server treats a value
of 0 (zero) the same as it treats max—that is, it checks out all available
licenses.
The sum of all num-of-licenses values for all concurrently deployed
T-Servers must not exceed the number of seat-related DN licenses
(tserver_sdn) in the corresponding license file. The primary and backup
T-Servers share the same licenses, and therefore they need to be counted only
once. T-Server checks out the number of licenses indicated by the value for
this option, regardless of the number actually in use.
num-sdn-licenses
Default Value: 0 or max (all DN licenses are seat-related)
Valid Values: String max (equal to the value of num-of-licenses), or any
integer from 0–9999
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies how many seat-related licenses T-Server checks out. A value of 0
(zero) means that T-Server does not grant control of seat-related DNs to any
client, and it does not look for seat-related DN licenses at all.
The sum of all num-sdn-licenses values for all concurrently deployed
T-Servers must not exceed the number of seat-related DN licenses
(tserver_sdn) in the corresponding license file. The primary and backup
T-Servers share the same licenses, and therefore they need to be counted only
once. T-Server checks out the number of licenses indicated by the value for this
option, regardless of the number actually in use.
License Checkout
Table 22 shows how to determine the number of seat-related DN licenses that
T-Server attempts to check out. See the examples on page 225.
Table 22: License Checkout Rules
max (or 0) x x
max (or 0) 0 0
x max x
x y min (y, x)
x 0 0
a. In this table, the following conventions are used: x and y - are positive integers;
max is the maximum number of licenses that T-Server can check out; min (y, x)
is the lesser of the two values defined by y and x, respectively.
b. The License Checkout column shows the number of licenses that T-Server at-
tempts to check out. The actual number of licenses will depend on the licenses’
availability at the time of checkout, and it is limited to 9999.
Examples
This section presents examples of option settings in the license section.
Example 1
If... Then...
num-sdn-licenses = max
Example 2
If... Then...
num-sdn-licenses = max
Example 3
If... Then...
num-sdn-licenses = 400
Example 4
If... Then...
num-sdn-licenses = 1000
agent-reservation Section
The agent-reservation section contains the configuration options that are
used to customize the T-Server Agent Reservation feature. See “Agent
Reservation” on page 28 section for details on this feature.
This section must be called agent-reservation.
collect-lower-priority-requests
Default Value: true
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether an agent reservation request is collected, depending on its
priority during the time interval specified by the request-collection-time
configuration option. When set to false, during the request-collection-time
interval T-Server collects reservation requests of the highest priority only,
rejecting newly submitted requests that have a lower priority or rejecting all
previously submitted requests if a request with a higher priority arrives. When
set to true (the default), agent reservation requests are collected as they were
in pre-8.x releases.
reject-subsequent-request
Default Value: true
Valid Values:
true T-Server rejects subsequent requests.
false A subsequent request prolongs the current reservation made by the
same client application for the same agent.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether T-Server rejects subsequent requests from the same client
application, for an agent reservation for the same Agent object that is currently
reserved.
request-collection-time
Default Value: 100 msec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the interval that agent reservation requests are collected before a
reservation is granted. During this interval, agent reservation requests are
delayed, in order to balance successful reservations between client applications
(for example, Universal Routing Servers).
reservation-time
Default Value: 10000 msec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the default interval for which a an Agent DN is reserved. During this
interval, the agent cannot be reserved again.
extrouter Section
The extrouter section contains the configuration options that are used to
support multi-site environments with the Inter Server Call Control (ISCC)
feature. The configuration options in this section of the document are grouped
with related options that support the same functionality, as follows:
ISCC Transaction Options, page 229
Transfer Connect Service Options, page 233
ISCC/COF Options, page 234
Event Propagation Options, page 236
Number Translation Option, page 237
GVP Integration Option, page 238
match-call-once
Default Value: true
Valid Values:
true ISCC does not process (match) an inbound call that has already been
processed (matched).
false ISCC processes (attempts to match) a call as many times as it arrives
at an ISCC resource or multi-site-transfer target.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies how many times ISCC processes an inbound call when it arrives at
an ISCC resource. When set to false, ISCC processes (attempts to match) the
call even if it has already been processed.
Note: Genesys does not recommend changing the default value of the
match-call-once option to false unless you have specific reasons.
Setting this option to false may lead to excessive or inconsistent call
data updates.
reconnect-tout
Default Value: 5 sec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: At the next reconnection attempt
Specifies the time interval after which a remote T-Server attempts to connect
to this T-Server after an unsuccessful attempt or a lost connection. The number
of attempts is unlimited. At startup, T-Server immediately attempts the first
connection, without this timeout.
report-connid-changes
Default Value: false
Valid Values:
true EventPartyChanged is generated.
false EventPartyChanged is not generated.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
use-data-from
Default Value: current
Valid Values:
active The values of UserData and ConnID attributes are taken from the
consultation call.
original The values of UserData and ConnID attributes are taken from the
original call.
active-data- The value of the UserData attribute is taken from the consultation
original-call call and the value of ConnID attribute is taken from the original
call.
current If the value of current is specified, the following occurs:
• Before the transfer or conference is completed, the UserData
and ConnID attributes are taken from the consultation call.
• After the transfer or conference is completed,
EventPartyChanged is generated, and the UserData and ConnID
are taken from the original call.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the call from which the values for the UserData and ConnID
attributes are taken for a consultation call that is routed or transferred to a
remote location.
Note: For compatibility with the previous T-Server releases, you can use the
values consult, main, and consult-user-data for this option. These
are aliases for active, original, and current, respectively.
The valid values provide for a range of mechanisms that the ISCC feature can
support with various T-Servers, in order to pass call data along with calls
between locations.
Because switches of different types provide calls with different sets of
information parameters, some values might not work with your T-Server. See
Table 3 on page 75 for information about supported transaction types by a
specific T-Server. The “Multi-Site Support” chapter also provides detailed
descriptions of all transaction types.
Notes: For compatibility with the previous T-Server releases, you can use the
direct value for this option. This is an alias for direct-callid.
An alias, route-notoken, has been added to the route value.
default-dn
Default Value: No default value
Valid Values: Any DN
Changes Take Effect: For the next request for the remote service
Specifies the DN to which a call is routed when a Destination DN
(AttributeOtherDN) is not specified in the client’s request for routing. If neither
this option nor the client’s request contains the destination DN, the client
receives EventError.
Note: This option is used only for requests with route types route,
route-uui, direct-callid, direct-network-callid, direct-uui,
direct-notoken, direct-digits, and direct-ani.
direct-digits-key
Default Value: CDT_Track_Num
Valid Values: Any valid key name of a key-value pair from the UserData
attribute
Changes Take Effect: For the next request for the remote service
Specifies the name of a key from the UserData attribute that contains a string
of digits that are used as matching criteria for remote service requests with the
direct-digits routing type.
dn-for-unexpected-calls
Default Value: No default value
Valid Values: Any DN
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies a default DN for unexpected calls arriving on an External Routing
Point.
network-request-timeout
Default Value: 20 sec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: For the next network request
For a premise T-Server, this option specifies the time interval that the premise
T-Server waits for a response, after relaying a TNetwork<...> request to the
Network T-Server. For a Network T-Server, this option specifies the time
interval that the Network T-Server waits for a response from an SCP (Service
Control Point), after initiating the processing of the request by the SCP.
When the allowed time expires, the T-Server cancels further processing of the
request and generates EventError.
register-attempts
Default Value: 5
Valid Values: Any positive integer
Changes Take Effect: For the next registration
Specifies the number of attempts that T-Server makes to register a dedicated
External Routing Point.
register-tout
Default Value: 2 sec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: For the next registration
Specifies the time interval after which T-Server attempts to register a dedicated
External Routing Point. Counting starts when the attempt to register a Routing
Point fails.
request-tout
Default Value: 20 sec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: For the next request for remote service
Specifies the time interval that a T-Server at the origination location waits for a
notification of routing service availability from the destination location.
Counting starts when the T-Server sends a request for remote service to the
destination site.
resource-allocation-mode
Default Value: circular
Valid Values:
home T-Server takes an alphabetized (or numerically sequential) list of
configured DNs and reserves the first available DN from the top of
the list for each new request. For example, if the first DN is not
available, the second DN is allocated for a new request. If the first
DN is freed by the time the next request comes, the first DN is
allocated for this next request.
circular T-Server takes the same list of configured DNs, but reserves a
subsequent DN for each subsequent request. For example, when the
first request comes, T-Server allocates the first DN; when the second
request comes, T-Server allocates the second DN; and so on.
T-Server does not reuse the first DN until reaching the end of the DN
list.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the manner in which T-Server allocates resources (that is, DNs of the
External Routing Point type and Access Resources with the Resource Type
set to dnis) for multi-site transaction requests.
resource-load-maximum
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: Any positive integer
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the maximum number of ISCC routing transactions that can be
concurrently processed at a single DN of the External Routing Point route
type. After a number of outstanding transactions at a particular DN of the
External Routing Point type reaches the specified number, T-Server
considers the DN not available. Any subsequent request for this DN is queued
until the number of outstanding transactions decreases. A value of 0 (zero)
means that no limitation is set to the number of concurrent transactions at a
single External Routing Point. In addition, the 0 value enables T-Server to
perform load balancing of all incoming requests among all available External
Routing Points, in order to minimize the load on each DN.
route-dn
Default Value: No default value
Valid Values: Any DN
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the DN that serves as a Routing Point for the route transaction type
in the multiple-to-one access mode.
timeout
Default Value: 60 sec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: For the next request for remote service
Specifies the time interval that the destination T-Server waits for a call routed
from the origination location. Counting starts when this T-Server notifies the
requesting T-Server about routing service availability. The timeout must be
long enough to account for possible network delays in call arrival.
use-implicit-access-numbers
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: After T-Server is restarted
Determines whether an External Routing Point in which at least one access
number is specified is eligible for use as a resource for calls coming from
switches for which an access number is not specified in the External Routing
Point. If this option is set to false, the External Routing Point is not eligible
for use as a resource for calls coming from such switches. If this option is set
to true, an implicit access number for the External Routing Point, composed
of the switch access code and the DN number of the External Routing Point,
will be used.
tcs-use
Default Value: never
Valid Values:
never The TCS feature is not used.
always The TCS feature is used for every call.
app-defined In order to use the TCS feature for a multi-site call transfer
request, a client application must add a key-value pair with a
TC-type key and a nonempty string value to the UserData
attribute of the request.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether the Transfer Connect Service (TCS) feature is used.
Note: For compatibility with the previous T-Server releases, you can use the
value up-app-depended for this option. This is an alias for
app-defined.
ISCC/COF Options
cof-ci-defer-create
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time interval that T-Server waits for call data from the switch
before generating a negative response for a call data request from a remote
T-Server. If T-Server detects the matching call before this timeout expires, it
sends the requested data. This option applies only if the cof-feature option is
set to true.
cof-ci-defer-delete
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time interval that T-Server waits before deleting call data that
might be overflowed. If set to 0, deletion deferring is disabled. This option
applies only if the cof-feature option is set to true.
cof-ci-req-tout
Default Value: 500 msec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: For the next COF operation
Specifies the time interval during which T-Server will wait for call data
requested with respect to a call originated at another site. After T-Server sends
the call data request to remote T-Servers, all events related to this call will be
suspended until either the requested call data is received or the specified
timeout expires. This option applies only if the cof-feature option is set to
true.
cof-ci-wait-all
Default Value: false
Valid Values:
true T-Server waits for responses from all T-Servers that might have the
requested call data before updating the call data with the latest
information.
false T-Server updates the call data with the information received from the
first positive response.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether T-Server, after sending a request for matching call data,
waits for responses from other T-Servers before updating the call data (such as
CallHistory, ConnID, and UserData) for a potentially overflowed call. The
waiting period is specified by the cof-ci-req-tout and cof-rci-tout options.
This option applies only if the cof-feature option is set to true.
cof-feature
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Enables or disables the Inter Server Call Control/Call Overflow (ISCC/COF)
feature.
cof-rci-tout
Default Value: 10 sec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: For the next COF operation
Specifies the time interval that T-Server waits for call data from other
T-Servers’ transactions. Counting starts when cof-ci-req-tout expires. This
option applies only if the cof-feature option is set to true.
local-node-id
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: 0 or any positive integer
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
This option, if enabled, checks all networked calls against the specified
NetworkNodeID (the identity of the switch to which the call initially arrived). If
the NetworkNodeID is the same as the value of this option, the request for call
information is not sent. The default value of 0 disables the functionality of this
Note: This option applies only to T-Server for Nortel Communication Server
2000/2100.
default-network-call-id-matching
Default Value: No default value
Valid Values: See the “T-Server-Specific Configuration Options” chapter for an
option description for your T-Server
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
When a value for this option is specified, T-Server uses the NetworkCallID
attribute for the ISCC/COF call matching.
To activate this feature, the cof-feature option must be set to true.
Note: SIP Server and several T-Servers support the NetworkCallID attribute
for the ISCC/COF call matching in a way that requires setting this
option to a specific value. For information about the option value that
is specific for your T-Server, see the “T-Server-Specific Configuration
Options” chapter of your T-Server Deployment Guide.
Note: Local DNs are always represented in the non-compound (DN) form.
epp-tout
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time interval during which T-Server attempts to resolve race
conditions that may occur in deployments that use switch partitioning or
intelligent trunks. This option applies only if the event-propagation option is
set to list.
Note: If the time interval is not long enough to account for possible network
switching delays, T-Server may produce duplicated events, such as
events that are propagated by the ISCC and generated locally.
event-propagation
Default Value: list
Valid Values:
list Changes in user data and party events are propagated to remote
locations through call distribution topology.
off The feature is disabled. Changes in user data and party events are not
propagated to remote locations.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether the Event Propagation feature is enabled.
backup-sync Section
The backup-synchronization section contains the configuration options that are
used to support a high-availability (hot standby redundancy type)
configuration.
This section must be called backup-sync.
Note: These options apply only to T-Servers that support the hot standby
redundancy type.
addp-remote-timeout
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: Any integer from 0–3600
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time interval that the redundant T-Server waits for a response
from this T-Server after sending a polling signal. The default value of 0 (zero)
disables the functionality of this option. To establish an appropriate timeout,
specify a value other than the default. This option applies only if the protocol
option is set to addp.
addp-timeout
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: Any integer from 0–3600
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time interval that this T-Server waits for a response from another
T-Server after sending a polling signal. The default value of 0 (zero) disables
the functionality of this option. To establish an appropriate timeout, specify a
value other than the default. This option applies only if the protocol option is
set to addp.
addp-trace
Default Value: off
Valid Values:
off, false, no No trace (default).
local, on, true, yes Trace on this T-Server side only.
remote Trace on the redundant T-Server side only.
full, both Full trace (on both sides).
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether addp messages are traced in a log file, to what level the trace
is performed, and in which direction. This option applies only if the protocol
option is set to addp.
protocol
Default Value: default
Valid Values:
default The feature is not active.
addp Activates the Advanced Disconnect Detection Protocol.
Changes Take Effect: When the next connection is established
Specifies the name of the method used to detect connection failures. If you
specify the addp value, you must also specify a value for the addp-timeout,
addp-remote-timeout, and addp-trace options.
sync-reconnect-tout
Default Value: 20 sec
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time interval after which the backup T-Server attempts to
reconnect to the primary server (for a synchronized link).
call-cleanup Section
The call-cleanup section contains the configuration options that are used to
control detection and cleanup of stuck calls in T-Server. For more information
on stuck call handling, refer to the “Stuck Call Management” chapter in the
Framework 8.0 Management Layer User’s Guide.
This section must be called call-cleanup.
cleanup-idle-tout
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time interval that T-Server waits for a call to be updated from its
last update. After this time elapses, if no new events about the call are
received, T-Server clears this call as a stuck call, either by querying the switch
(if a CTI link provides such capabilities) or by deleting the call information
from memory unconditionally. The default value of 0 disables the stuck calls
cleanup.
notify-idle-tout
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time interval that T-Server waits for a call to be updated from its
last update. After this time elapses, if no new events about the call are
received, T-Server reports this call as a stuck call. The default value of 0
disables the stuck calls notification.
periodic-check-tout
Default Value: 10 min
Valid Values: See “Timeout Value Format” on page 242.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time interval for periodic checks for stuck calls. These checks
affect both notification and cleanup functionality, and are made by checking
the T-Server’s own call information with call information available in the
switch. For performance reasons, T-Server does not verify whether the
Note: Setting this option to a value of less than a few seconds can affect
T-Server performance.
Examples
This section presents examples of option settings in the call-cleanup section.
Example 1 cleanup-idle-tout = 0
notify-idle-tout = 0
periodic-check-tout = 10
With these settings, T-Server will not perform any checks for stuck calls.
Example 2 cleanup-idle-tout = 0
notify-idle-tout = 5 min
periodic-check-tout = 10 min
With these settings, T-Server performs checks every 10 minutes and sends
notifications about all calls that have been idle for at least 5 minutes.
Example 3 cleanup-idle-tout = 20 min
notify-idle-tout = 5 min
periodic-check-tout = 10 min
With these settings, T-Server performs checks every 10 minutes, sends
notifications about all calls that have been idle for at least 5 minutes, and
attempts to clean up all calls that have been idle for more than 20 minutes.
rule-<n>
Default Value: No default value
Valid Value: Any valid string in the following format:
in-pattern=<input pattern value>;out-pattern=<output pattern value>
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Defines a rule to be applied to an inbound number. The two parts of the option
value describe the input and output patterns in the rule. When configuring the
pattern values, follow the syntax defined in “Using ABNF for Rules” on
page 84. See “Configuring Number Translation” on page 91 for examples of
these rules as well as detailed instructions for creating rules for your
installation. For example, a value for this configuration option might look like
this:
rule-01 = in-pattern=0111#CABBB*ccD;out-pattern=ABD
security Section
The security section contains the configuration options that are used to
configure secure data exchange between T-Servers and other Genesys
components. Refer to the Genesys 8.x Security Deployment Guide for complete

accode-agent
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether T-Server uses account codes as agent Walk-Away codes. If
the value of this option is set to true and the agent is in the NotReady state,
when the switch reports an account code T-Server sends another
EventAgentNotReady with the Extensions attribute ReasonCode set to the value
of the reported account code.
accode-data
Default Value: none
Valid Values: none, udata, ext
none T-Server does not map switch account codes.
udata T-Server attaches reported account codes as user data, using
configured Extensions attribute keys such as
GCTI_ACCOUNT_CODE_<N>. T-Server then sends requests to set
account codes to the switch, when such user data keys are used
in client requests AttachUserData or UpdateUserData.
ext T-Server attaches user data as extensions to all call events and
does not intercept user data update requests with the reserved
keys.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Account Codes” on page 164
Specifies whether T-Server has to map the switch account codes to call user
data (udata), to extensions (ext) or does not map switch account codes (none).
Note: T-Server always uses the reserved keys sent in any call-related client
request’s Extensions attribute, irrespective of the value of this option.
accode-index
Default Value: false
Valid Values: false, true
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Allows T-Server to attach multiple account codes to the call. Each new unique
account code is attached to the call, as Extensions or UserData, with the key as
configured by the option, accode-name, with an appended underscore and an
incremental integer index, starting from 1 (such as AccountCode_1). T-Server
keeps the nonindexed key updated with the latest received value, irrespective
of the value of this option.
accode-name
Default Value: AccountCode
Valid Values: Any valid key name

Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Account Codes” on page 164
Instructs T-Server to retain the last agent business call while the agent is in an
After-Call Work (ACW) period and allows user data updates to be added after
the call has been released. This allows the account code to be attached to the
previous call. When set to true, T-Server sends the account code in the
EventUserEvent message, rather than the EventAttachedDataChanged message,
to avoid confusing existing desktop applications.
acw-retain-lock
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: Any positive integer
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Account Codes” on page 164
Specifies the period of time, in seconds, for the call to remain locked in Call

(zero) disables the Agent No-Answer Supervision feature. See also the
Extensions attribute key NO_ANSWER_TIMEOUT on page 177.
agent-only-private-calls
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Business-Call Handling” on page 144
Specifies whether T-Server blocks the classification of a call’s business type as
private when there is no agent on the call.
If the value of the configuration option is set to false, calls with no agents
present are classified with a business type of private, enabling No-Answer
Supervision (NAS) to be applied for private calls.
If the value of the configuration option is set to true, calls remain classified
with a business type of unknown.
agent-strict-id
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false, passwd
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Emulated Agents” on page 147
Specifies whether, for emulated agents, T-Server allows:
• Any agent ID to be used during login (false)
• Only agent IDs configured in the Configuration Layer to be used during
login (true)
• Only agent IDs that match an agent ID configured in the Configuration
Layer and that also have a matching password (passwd).
auto-reconnect-on-fail
Default Value: true
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Enables/disables the automatic reconnection of the main call when a consult
call is reported as either failed or blocked..
Note: This option can also be configured at the DN-level. The DN-level
setting takes precedence.
backwds-compat-acw-behavior
Default Value: false
Valid Value: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Emulated Agents” on page 147
Specifies whether pre-7.5 behavior after-call work is enabled (value = true) or
disabled (value = false), for backward compatibility.
If the value of the configuration option is set to false and if an agent receives
or makes a business call while in emulated ACW, T-Server does the following:
1. Stops the ACW timer.
2. Forces the agent to the Ready state.
3. Restarts ACW (and the legal-guard timer) after the new business call is
released.
If an agent makes or receives a work-related call while in ACW, T-Server does
the following:
1. Suspends the ACW, but leaves the agent in the ACW state.
2. Resumes the ACW timer once the work-related call is released.
After the ACW and any configured legal-guard time have been completed, the
agent is forced to the Ready state.
If an agent makes or receives a private call during ACW, no action is taken and
the ACW timer keeps running.
If the value of the configuration option is set to true, pre-7.5 behavior is used.
In this case, T-Server forces the agent to the Ready state after the after-call work
and legal-guard timer have been applied.
bsns-call-dev-types
Default Values: +acdq +rp +rpq +xrp
Valid Values: A set of space separated flags.
+/-acdq Turns on/off the classification of the call type as business on an
ACD Queue.
+/-rp Turns on/off the classification of the call type as business on a
Routing Point.
+/-rpq Turns on/off the classification of the call type as business on a
Routing Queue.
+/-xrp Turns on/off the classification of the call type as business on an
External Routing Point.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Business-Call Handling” on page 144
Specifies which types of distribution devices will be exempt from default
business-call handling. By default, T-Server classifies any call arriving at a
distribution device (ACD Queue, Routing Point, Routing Queue, External
Routing Point) as a business call. Using this option, you can disable automatic
classification for calls to a particular type of distribution device. For example,
if the value for this option is set to -rp, calls to Routing Point DNs will not be
automatically classified as business, allowing the routing strategy to use the
BusinessCallType Extension.
This option does not affect the application of the DN-level bsns-call-type
option.
callback-dn
Default Value: CallbackDN
Valid Value: Any string that does not correspond to an existing internal device
Changes Take Effect: After startup
Defines the value of the third-party DN used in reporting the switch CallBack

the value of this configuration option is set to false, T-Server forces
nonsupervised routing for consultation calls, regardless of configuration option
or call-by-call settings.
Note: When set in the TServer section, this option defines the default value
for all Routing Points. However, you can also set a value for this
option on the Annex tab of DNs of type Routing Point in a section
called TServer. When set there, this value overrides the default value
for the specific Routing Point.
convert-otherdn
Default Value: +agentid +reserveddn +fwd
Valid Values:
+/-agentid Turns on/off either the conversion of the Agent ID value
provided in the OtherDN attribute to the DN associated with this
Agent, or the DN value to Agent ID value (where appropriate).

Specifies a sequence of overflow destinations that T-Server attempts to
overflow to when the timeout value specified in the posn-no-answer-timeout
configuration option expires.
T-Server attempts to overflow in the order specified in the list. If all overflow
attempts fail, T-Server abandons overflow. See also Extensions attribute key
NO_ANSWER_OVERFLOW on page 177.
If the list of overflow destinations contains the value recall and the call was not
distributed, T-Server skips to the next destination in the list.
Note: If you define the option, no-answer-overflow, on the Annex tab of any
individual ACD Position object in Configuration Manager, that value
overrides the value of posn-no-answer-overflow for that position only.
posn-no-answer-timeout
Default Value: 15
Valid Value: Any integer from 0–600
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for No-Answer Supervision” on page 154
Defines the default no-answer timeout (in seconds) that T-Server applies to any
device of type ACD Position. When the timeout ends, T-Server executes the
actions defined in the posn-no-answer-overflow configuration option.
See also Extensions attribute key NO_ANSWER_TIMEOUT on page 177.
prd-dist-call-ans-time
Default Value: 0
Valid Value: Any integer from 0-10
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Emulated Predictive Dialing” on page 152
Specifies the duration of a timer (in seconds) which starts after a customer
answers a predictive call. If the call has not been answered by an agent when
the timer expires, T-Server abandons the call. With value 0 (zero), T-Server
does not automatically abandon the call, which then rings on the agent until it
is answered.
Notes: • When set at the Application level, this option defines the default
value to be applied for all agents. However, you can also set this
option on the Annex tab of the Agent login object, in a section
called TServer. When set in this way, this value overrides the
default value for the specific agent ID.
When an emulated predictive dial is made from an emulated
Routing Point, and configuration options, prd-dist-call-ans-time
and route-no-answer-timeout, are set, the value in
prd-dist-call-ans-time takes precedence.
• When using T-Server 8.0 with Outbound Contact Server (OCS) 7.6
or lower, this option must be set to 0 (zero).
recall-no-answer-timeout
Default Value: 15
Valid Values: Any integer from 0-600
Changes Take Place: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for No-Answer Supervision” on page 154
Defines the time that T-Server waits for a call to reappear on a device as a
result of a recall (for example, a ringback waiting to be answered). When the
timer expires, T-Server executes the actions defined by the relevant overflow
option, as well as the action option for cases where an agent is logged in.
If the value is set to 0, there is no No-Answer Supervision for such calls.
This option can be defined either at the Application level or in a section called
Tserver on the Annex tab of any of the following configuration object types in
Configuration Manager:
• Extension
• ACD Position
• Voice Treatment Port
• Agent Login
releasing-party-report
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether T-Server reports the Extensions attribute key
ReleasingParty in events EventReleased and EventAbandoned to indicate
which party initiated the call release.
retain-call-tout
Default Value: 15
Valid Value: Any integer from 0–3600
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the interval (in seconds) that T-Server waits before cleaning up either
a released call, or a call that is connected to an unmonitored device, where the
call is still in T-Server internal structures.
route-failure-alarm-high-wm
Default Value: 10
Valid Values: Positive integer for absolute value or floating point number
followed by % (percent) symbol. For example—10%, 2.25%, 5E-2%.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: See “Support for Failed Route Notification” on page 161
Defines the high water mark which must be reached in order for a route failure
alarm to be triggered, within the period configured in the
route-failure-alarm-period configuration option.
route-failure-alarm-low-wm
Default Value: 1
Valid Values: Positive integer for absolute value or floating point number
followed by % (percent) symbol. For example—10%, 2.25%, 5E-2%.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: See “Support for Failed Route Notification” on page 161
Defines the low water mark which must be reached, while under the route
failure alarm condition, within the period configured in the
route-failure-alarm-period configuration option.
route-failure-alarm-period
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: Positive integer
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: See “Support for Failed Route Notification” on page 161
Defines the interval (in seconds) in which the number of failed route requests
is totalled, in order to determine either a possible route failure alarm or the
cancelation of an alarm, based on the failed route counter reaching the relevant
high or low water mark.
Note: This option also specifies the minimum time between alarm setting
and alarm clearing.
rtmem-divert-tout
Default Value: 0
Valid Value: Any integer from 0-500
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Defines the length of the delay (in milliseconds) between the PBX reporting of
released on an emulated Routing Point member device (switch-specific type 2)
and the T-Server reporting the released event. If there is a ringing event on
an alternate route member device during the delay, then the T-Server handles
the event as an internal transfer. This prevents the reporting of abandoned
events on the emulated Routing Point when the call moves between route
member devices.
supervised-route-timeout
Default Value: 5
Valid Value: Any integer from 0–600
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the interval (in seconds) that T-Server waits for a call routed from an
emulated Routing Point using supervised routing to be answered. If the call is
not answered within the period specified, T-Server recalls the call to the
Routing Point and initiates rerouting. Setting this configuration option to a
value of 0 (zero) deactivates this feature. If a combination of Extensions and
option values forces T-Server to use routing through Transfer, but the timeout
is set to 0 (zero), T-Server does not consider the routing as supervised, and
completes the transfer immediately.
See also agent-no-answer-timeout. For predictive dialing to work, you must
set values greater than 0 (zero) for both this option and the
prd-dist-call-ans-time option.
This timeout should be set to a value higher than the system latency.
Note: When set at the Application level, this option defines the default value
for all Routing Points. However, you can also set a value for this
option on the Annex tab of DNs of type Routing Point in a section
called TServer. When set there, this value overrides the default value
for the specific Routing Point. You can also use the Extensions
attribute key SUPERVISED_ROUTE to override the value of this
configuration option on a call-by-call basis. When a value is set in the
Extensions attribute, this takes precedence, followed by values set in
the Annex tab, then the application value.
When an emulated predictive dial is made from an emulated Routing
Point, and options prd-dist-call-ans-time and
route-no-answer-timeout are set, the value in prd-dist-call-ans-time
takes precedence.
sync-emu-acw
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Emulated Agents” on page 147
Specifies whether T-Server synchronizes emulated ACW for emulated agents.
The TAgentLogin Extensions attribute key SyncEmuAgentACW overrides the value
configured for this option.
timed-acw-in-idle
Default Value: true
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Emulated Agents” on page 147
Specifies whether T-Server applies the automatic wrap-up timer (using the
wrap-up-time parameter) when an agent sends TAgentNotReady. If the value of
the configuration option is set to false, T-Server does not automatically end
manual wrap-up—the agent must return manually from ACW.
transfer-timer
Default Value: 1000
Valid Value: Any integer from 0-10000
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the time (in milliseconds) for automatic device cleanup after a
transfer. After a two-step or single-step transfer CTI request, the switch may
initiate a new call, leaving the device busy. If this option has a value, T-Server
starts a timer on the device after transfer: any new calls initiated on that device
during the specified time are automatically cleared by T-Server using a CSTA
ClearConnection request. EventOnHook is postponed until the new call is
cleared, or the timer has expired, to prevent new calls being routed to such a
device.
A value of 0 (zero) disables this option.
unknown-bsns-calls
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Business-Call Handling” on page 144
Determines whether T-Server considers calls of unknown call type made from
or to any agent as business calls.
untimed-wrap-up-value
Default Value: 1000
Valid Value: Any nonzero positive integer
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Emulated Agents” on page 147
Specifies the threshold at which the timing of ACW stops and manual
intervention is required (untimed ACW).
unknown-xfer-merge-udata
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Place: Immediately
If the value of the configuration option is set to true, T-Server copies the user
data from the current monitored call to the call transferred from an
unmonitored destination. Because the primary call was previously unknown,
normal user data inheritance mechanisms cannot be used.
uui-as-text
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether the user data type UU_DATA is sent to CallBridge/CAP as text
(value = true) or binary (value = false). Data must be in ASCII format when
this option is enabled.
vto-onhook-dly
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: Any integer from 0-5000
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Defines the length of the delay (in milliseconds) between the PBX reporting of
on-hook for VTO devices and the T-Server sending EventOnHook for the
device. A value of 0 (zero) indicates that there will be no delay. This option is
valid only for DNs configured as VTO devices (switch-specific type 8).
wrap-up-threshold
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: Any positive integer
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Emulated Agents” on page 147
Specifies the minimum period (in seconds) that a business call must last before
emulated ACW is applied at the end of the call.
wrap-up-time
Default Value: 0
Valid Value:
0 ACW is disabled
Exception: When set in the Annex tab of the Agent
Login object, value 0 (zero) means T-Server will
process from Step 4 in the processing order of
precedence below.
Value greater than 0 but The number of seconds of timed ACW, after which
less than T-Sever returns the agent automatically to the Ready
untimed-wrap-up-value state.

call-rq-gap
Default Value: 250
Valid Value: Any integer from 0-1000
Changes Take Place: Immediately
Specifies (in milliseconds) the length of delay applied to a request issued
against a busy call (a call that has another request working on it already). This
prevents race conditions on the different call legs.
Set the value of this option to a time longer than the usual response time for a
request from the switch.
device-rq-gap
Default Value: 250
Valid Value: Any integer from 0-1000
Changes Take Place: Immediately
Specifies (in milliseconds) the minimum time gap between sequential requests
relating to a device. Note that this setting only affects the gap between requests
in a device queue.
Note: You can also set a value for this option at a DN-level in the TServer
section on the Annex tab with option rq-gap.

Default Value: 10
Valid Value: Any integer from 0-600
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Keep-Alive Feature” on page 158
Specifies a “keep-alive” interval (in seconds). To check network connectivity,
T-Server issues a dummy CTI request at the interval specified when there is no
other activity on the link. A value of 0 (zero) disables this feature.
The value of this option may need to be increased to avoid false restarts if the
switch is sometimes slow to respond, for example, during busy periods.
kpl-tolerance
Default Value: 3
Valid Value: Any integer from 0-10
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Keep-Alive Feature” on page 158
Specifies the threshold number of accumulated KPL request failures. When the
threshold is reached T-Server may either consider the CTI link:
• To be lost—in which case T-Server tries to reconnect to it.
• To be unstable—in which case T-Server issues a warning message.
link-alarm-high
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: 0-100
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the percentage of the use-link-bandwidth option when LMS message
LINK_ALARM_HIGH is triggered.
A value of 0 (zero) disables the feature.

page 139.
reg-delay
Default Value: 1000
Valid Values: 0 - 5000
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Defines the time (in milliseconds) that T-Server waits for the DN Created
notification from Configuration Server before it starts processing the
registration request from the client as a request for a DN not configured in the
Configuration Layer.
reg-interval
Default Value: 60
Valid Values: Any integer from 0-600
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Keep-Alive Feature” on page 158
Specifies the time interval (in seconds) for the Start Monitor request to be
re-sent to the switch if the initial request fails. A value of 0 (zero) switches this
feature off.
reg-silent
Default Value: true
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
If the value of the configuration option is set to true, T-Server reports
EventRegistered for “on-demand” registration with the PBX when the
procedure is completed
If the value is false, T-Server reports EventRegistered as early as possible
during the PBX registration procedure.
rq-conflict-check
Default Value: true
Valid Value: true, false
Changes Take Place: Immediately
Specifies whether the request conflict checking feature is enabled. This feature
intelligently resolves conflicting client requests.
rq-expire-tout
Default Value: 10000
Valid Value: Any integer from 0-30000
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for Keep-Alive Feature” on page 158
Specifies the interval (in milliseconds) that T-Server waits before deleting
pending requests (requests for which it has received no notification from the
switch) from clients.
This timeout should be set to a value higher than the system latency.
Note: This option has no effect if the value for the configuration option,
kpl-tolerance, is set to 0. In that case, a single KPL failure will
trigger a link restart.
rq-gap
Default Value: 0
Valid Value: Any integer from 0-1000
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the minimum interval (in milliseconds) between succeeding CTI
requests sent over the link. You can adjust the value to meet CTI-link load and
performance requirements.
use-link-bandwidth
Default Value: auto

Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the maximum number of requests per second throughput to be used
by T-Server to calculate link alarm messages. A value of 0 (zero) disables the
feature.
quiet-cleanup
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Disables the events that T-Server would otherwise send to clients during
clean-up to notify them about the deleted calls. If the value of the configuration
option is set to true, the T-Server clients are supposed to drop all the calls
upon EventLinkDisconnected without waiting for T-Server notification. See
restart-cleanup-limit.
quiet-startup
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Disables the events that T-Server would otherwise send to clients during link
start-up to notify clients about the changes that occurred during the link
outage. If the value of the configuration option is set to true, clients should
query the T-Server after the EventLinkConnected.
restart-cleanup-limit
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: Any integer
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Defines the maximum number of reconnect attempts for calls (and possibly
agent logins) in T-Server during link outage. A value of 0 zero means all the
calls are deleted immediately after the link failure. See restart-period.
restart-cleanup-dly
Default Value: 0
Valid Values: Any integer
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the delay, in seconds, for T-Server to keep “unreliable” calls after
link startup. This delay allows T-Server to salvage calls that existed before the
link failure (for which any events were received) if T-Server was unable to
verify the their existence using snapshot. A value of 0 (zero) means any non
verified calls are cleared up immediately after completion of link startup.
restart-period
Default Value: 20
Valid Values: 0-600
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the interval (in seconds) that T-Server waits between attempts to
reconnect to the switch when the link fails. A value of 0 (zero) means T-Server
does not try to reconnect unless the link configuration is changed.
auto-reconnect-on-fail
Default Value: true
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Enables/disables the automatic reconnection of the main call when a
consultation call initiated from this DN is reported as either failed or blocked.
Note: This option can also be configured at the Application level, where it
applies globally to all consultation calls. However, the DN-level
setting takes precedence.
bsns-call-type
Default Value: none
Valid Values:
business The call is classified as a business call.
private The call is classified as a private call.
ignore The distribution device has no effect on business call
classification.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Features: “Support for Business-Call Handling” on page 144
The option can be configured in the TServer section on the Annex tab of a
distribution device. This option takes precedence over the Application-level
options inbound-bsns-call, internal-bsns-call, and outbound-bsns-call,
and is applied on calls arriving on the device in question.
Distribution devices include ACD Queue, Routing Point, Routing Queue and
External Routing Point. This option has no effect on any other device types.
The value of the option overrides any of the following T-Server configuration
options set at the Application level for the object where it has been set
(depending on the type of configuration object). It may be overridden by the
BusinessCallType key of the Extensions attribute.
no-answer-action
Default Value: none
Valid Values:
none T-Server takes no action on agents when business calls are not
answered.
notready T-Server sets agents NotReady when business calls are not
answered.
logout T-Server automatically logs out agents when business calls are
not answered.
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Related Feature: “Support for No-Answer Supervision” on page 154
This option is defined in a section called TServer on the Annex tab of any Agent
Login object in Configuration Manager. The value set in the Annex tab is
specific to this instance of an agent, and overrides the value for the same
option set in the Options tab.
If an emulated or real PBX agent receives a T-Server business call and the
agent fails to answer the call within the time defined in option
agent-no-answer-timeout, option no-answer-action determines the action
T-Server performs on this agent.
no-answer-overflow
Default Value: No default value
Valid Values:
none T-Server does not attempt to overflow a call on an agent when
agent-no-answer-timeout expires.
recall T-Server returns the call to the last distribution device (the
device reported in the ThisQueue attribute of the call) when
