the efforts of creating profiles individually and also optimizes the installation and configuration
for Avaya one-X Agent administrators.
Profile setting
A profile is a collection of pre-configured settings and preferences. Agents use profiles to load
the pre-configured settings, such as Home, Office, Sales, Support, and so on. A profile contains
configuration files that are stored locally inside a subdirectory of the main configuration.
Typically, the configuration files are located at: \Program Files\Avaya\Avaya one-X
Agent\<profile name>.
In the path, <profile name> represents the actual name given to the agent profile and same
appears as the directory name. If no profile exists, Avaya one-X Agent creates a default profile.
Preparing agent configuration
The configuration files are XML files saved inside the profile subdirectory at the location
described under Profile setting. Avaya provides XSD files that administrators can use to
configure Avaya one-X Agent. The following table shows the UI screen settings, their related
XML configuration files and the corresponding XSD.

corresponding field on the UI. ReadOnly attribute works hierarchically, which means the
attribute value set for parent applies to all its children elements. This provides granularity to
control agent permissions.
For example, as an administrator if you want to protect individual applications from Launch
Application, you can set ReadOnly attribute as true. This would still allow agents to add a new
launch applications. On the contrary, to prevent agents from adding any applications, set the
ReadOnly attribute to true for parent of all Launch Applications. This prevents agents from
adding Launch Application configuration.
Publishing the configuration to agent's computer
After creating the default XML files , administrator can modify the MSI package to include the
configuration files. Files should be added to the Application folder of the MSI. The Application
folder goes into the Installation folder when Avaya one-X Agent is installed (for example, C:
\Program Files\Avaya\OneXAgent). At this stage the MSI contains the default
Settings.XML.
When an agent logs into a profile and if any configuration file is missing in that profile, system
copies the required file from the Install directory to the profile. If the required file is not found
in the Install directory, the system creates a default empty configuration file as required.
Since Station login/Agent login and passwords in Settings.XML are unique for every agent,
their values must be cleared. If Avaya one-X Agent is installed on a system with IP Agent is
installed, Avaya one-X Agent can import Login Contacts/Contact Log settings. Dialing Rules
cannot be imported. This import happens after the settings files are copied from the Install
directory. The imported files replace the existing configuration files. Alternatively, these
configuration files are pulled into agent’s computer using Windows Roaming Profiles. Avaya
recommends using Windows Roaming profiles to deliver the configuration. This is a better
approach, if you plan to publish User Name/Passwords in Settings.XML. Contact Avaya
Support for encryption of passwords.
This section describes how to log on to Avaya one-X Agent Release 2.0. The procedure to log
on depends on the configuration of Avaya one-X Agent deployed in your network and the type
of authentication supported. The two types of authentication are described below.
Basic authentication
In basic authentication, your user credentials get authenticated against the servers, namely
Communication Manager, Central Management, and Presence Services, deployed in your
network. In case of an authentication failure on Central Management or Presence Services,
Avaya one-X Agent logs you on with the basic telephony features.
Single sign-on
In this type of authentication, you can log on to your enterprise network and Avaya one-X Agent
with the same user credentials. You do not need to provide separate user credentials to log on
to Avaya one-X Agent.
In this section, you will learn how to launch the Avaya one-X Agent application on your personal
computer, log in as an extension, and register as an agent.
Important:
To enable Single Sign-on, Central Management and Presence Services must be configured
for Avaya one-X Agent.
Note:
• If Presence Services are not installed, IM user name and password are not required.
• For installations without Central Management, all the above credentials except User
authentication ID and password are required.
1. Launch Avaya one-X Agent on your personal computer. This displays the User
Authentication window if you are not using Single sign on.
2. Enter your ID and password on the User Authentication window. This step is not
required if you are using Single sign on or if Central Management is not installed
as a part of server installations and you will directly see the Welcome window after
you launch Avaya one-X Agent.
The Welcome window may display a welcome message or an important instruction
configured through Central Management, provided Central Management is installed
as a server component.
You can complete the initial configuration using the Welcome window menu, when
you launch Avaya one-X Agent on your personal computer for the first time. The
initial task may include configuring your agent settings, defining your user profile,
or setting the dialing rules. To configure the basic settings, see Setting up the initial
configuration on page 31.
3. On the Welcome window, click OK. This displays the Login window.
• If you have enabled automatic registration settings in the System Settings
Login panel, the system logs you on to Avaya one-X Agent automatically.
• If you have not enabled automatic registration settings in the System
Settings Login panel, you need to enter your user credentials for each of
the subsequent login windows.
• If you have multiple user profiles, the system prompts you to choose an
appropriate profile from the Profile window. You must choose a profile to
proceed.
4. On the Login window:
a. In the Extension field, enter the telephone extension number.
b. In the Password field, enter the password.
c. Click Log in. This shows the Agent Sign In to ACD window.
5. To make and receive ACD calls, you must log on to the ACD server using the agent

Note:
The respective details appear as you log on to Avaya one-X Agent.
If you have logged into Avaya IP Soft Phone, a warning message is displayed.
You need to log out to be able to import contact logs into Avaya one-X Agent.
If you are an agent working from multiple locations and not an Avaya Central Management
provisioned user (from the contact center, from your home, or from a different location), you
must change your settings each time you change locations. This section describes how to
configure various settings after logging in to Avaya one-X Agent.

Tip:
For traveling agents visiting a different location and needing to register with a different
Communication Manager, Avaya recommends defining a user profile with appropriate
dialing rules for that location and using a login with the corresponding profile so that the
dialing rules for the system do not change.
Note:
You must change the dialing rules each time you register the telephone settings with a
different Communication Manager.
Use the following steps if you are a travelling agent using Avaya one-X Agent from a different
location, and want to register the settings with a different Communication Manager.
Note:
In the context of the Communication Manager, the country code is called as
the ARS access code.
c. In the Your Area/City Code field, type the area or city code of your
Communication Manager. For example, type 415 if you are accessing the
Communication Manager located at San Francisco.
d. In the Number to dial for long distance calls field, type the long distance
prefix number of your Communication Manager.
e. In the Number to dial for international calls field, type the international prefix.
f. In the Length for internal extension calls field, type the length of the internal
extension calls. For example, if your internal extensions consist of five digits,
enter 5. If you specify the multiple extension lengths, Avaya one-X Agent
performs the exact matches.

Agent treats the dialed number consisting of the selected number of digits as
an internal extension.

digit extensions, type 3,5,7. You must use a comma to separate the values.
