About Basic Call Center for CallPilot 100/150
This guide leads a Call Center Administrator through setting up and operating Basic Call Center
on a CallPilot 100/150 system. You can program Basic Call Center using any two-line display
telephone on your telephone system. You can also use the web-based CallPilot Manager to set up
and operate Basic Call Center.
Call Center is an application that handles incoming calls as efficiently and economically as
possible. Call Center answers calls, then routes the calls to agents in a skillset that most closely
matches the needs of the caller. Calls can be routed based on the origin of the call, the destination
of the call, or the information entered by the caller. Callers can be given high or low priorities.
Callers can overflow to different groups or skillsets of agents, transfer out of the system, leave a
message, and hear announcements and informative messages.
For information about Basic and Professional Call Center and Call Center features, refer to the
Call Center Set Up and Operation Guide.

About Call Center telephone administration
Setting up Basic Call Center with a two line display telephone
You cannot use a single line display telephone to set up and administer Basic Call Center. You
must use a two line display telephone. Two line display telephones show Call Center commands
and options. A two line display can show up to three display options at once. In some instances, an
option does not have a corresponding display button, and you must select the option by pressing
buttons on the diapad.
An example of a two line display
System timeout
If you pause longer than 2 minutes (120 seconds) when you program Call Center on a two line
display telephone, the system times out and ends the session. This is a safety feature that prevents

About telephone buttons
This table shows the Nortel Networks Business Series Terminal buttons. Use the buttons that
pertain to the type of telephone you use.
You can enter ≤, ƒ or Fx and the code to use a feature. For example, press
≤·°⁄ to access your mailbox.
The T7100 works differently from other telephones on your system because it does not have line
buttons. Where other telephones require that you select a line button to answer a call, on the T7100
terminal you pick up the handset. Where other telephones require you to select a line button to take
a call off hold, you press ≥ on the T7100 terminal.
On T7100 terminals, you can answer a second call by pressing ≥. Your active call is put on hold
and you connect to the waiting call. You can have no more than two active calls at one time.

Setting Call Center general properties
When you set up Call Center you must assign values for the general properties. The general Call
Center properties are:
Primary and Secondary alert times
Alert times are time limits for calls waiting in skillsets. The Secondary alert time must be greater
than the Primary alert time. You can have Primary and Secondary alerts for all the calls in the call
center, or for just the calls waiting in skillsets that you are logged on to.
If a call exceeds the Primary alert time:
•
a memory button indicator programmed with Display Waiting Calls (≤·‚·) flashes
slowly. ≤·‚· flashes based on the status of all the calls in the call center.
•
a memory button indicator programmed with Agent Login (≤·‚›) flashes slowly.
≤·‚› flashes based on the status of the calls for the skillsets an agent is logged on to.
If a call exceeds the Secondary alert time:
•
a memory button indicator programmed with Display Waiting Calls (≤·‚·) flashes
quickly. ≤·‚· flashes based on the status of all the calls in the call center.
•
a memory button indicator programmed with Agent Login (≤·‚›) flashes quickly.
≤·‚› flashes based on the status of the calls for the skillsets an agent is logged on to.
A slowly flashing indicator alerts you that a call has exceeded the Primary alert time. A quickly
flashing indicator alerts you that a call has exceeded the Secondary alert time. The indicator stops
flashing when the calls are handled.
You assign alert times in minutes and seconds. There is no default value for alert times.
For how to program a memory button, refer to “Programming a memory button with a Feature
Code” on page 15.
Note: Agents do not have to be logged on to see the Display Waiting Calls memory
button flashing. A memory button must be programmed with the Display Waiting Calls
Feature Code and the Primary alert time must be set up for the memory button to show
waiting calls status.

Reserved channels
Reserved channels are voice channels that are reserved for use by Call Center. If you reserve
channels for Call Center, you ensure that callers are played skillset announcements, and CallPilot
does not use all of the voice channels.
A reserved channel is used when:
•
a Call Center greeting plays to a caller
•

Configuring lines
Before Call Center can answer an incoming line, you must assign the line to be answered by a Call
Center skillset. You can configure a maximum of 15 lines for Basic Call Center. The line numbers
can be any line number from 1 to 500.
For each line that you want Call Center to answer, you assign:
•
the line to be answered by Call Center
•
the skillset that calls on this line go to
•
the number of rings before the line is answered
You can record your line answering information in the table “Line answering” on page 142.
You must disable a skillset and wait until there are no calls in the skillset before you can add lines
to it. You cannot add lines to a skillset while it is in use. For how to disable a skillset refer to
“Disabling a skillset” on page 40.
Lines that are programmed to be answered by Call Center must not be programmed to be answered
by another peripheral or application.
To delay calls being answered, you can assign Call Center to answer incoming calls after a
specified number of rings. The number of rings ranges from zero to 12. If the number of rings is
zero, Call Center answers immediately.
For analog lines equipped with Caller ID, you must set the number of rings to two or more. Caller
ID information is not provided until just prior to the second ring, so if you set the number of rings
to zero or one, Caller ID information is not relayed.
Long distance charges start when a call is answered by Call Center. To minimize long distance
charges, set the ring count higher than 0 so that calls spend more waiting time in a ringing state.
Note: Target lines that are assigned to a B2 skillset cannot have their prime extension
programmed as the Control DN of the skillset. This is restricted by the software. The
recommended setting for these lines is blank.
For information on how to program the prime extension, refer to the Norstar System
Coordinator Guide.

Setting up skillsets
About skillsets
Call Center skillsets answer and distribute calls to agents as they become available. Skillsets hold
calls for different call center departments, such as sales and technical support.
You can have a maximum of two skillsets for Basic Call Center.
You cannot change the properties of a skillset while it is enabled. You must disable the skillset. If
you want to change the CDN, disable the skillset and wait until there are no calls in the skillset
before you change the CDN.
How incoming calls are sent to a skillset
Incoming calls are sent to a skillset in one of the following ways:
•
You assign a line to be answered directly by a skillset. For information about configuring lines
refer to “Configuring lines” on page 23.
•
A receptionist, agent or subscriber receives a call and transfers the call to a skillset.
They can transfer the call to a skillset by pressing ≤‡‚ or TRANSFER and entering the
CDN of the skillset. The receptionist, agent or subscriber must not use the Call Pickup feature.
•
The Automated Attendant or a CCR Tree answers the call and the caller makes a selection that
routes them to the CDN of the skillset.
•
Calls can be forwarded to the Voicemail extension of the skillset by Call Forward All Calls
(CFAC), Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) or Call Forward On Busy (CFB). For information
about these features, refer to the Norstar System Coordinator Guide.
Note: Agents are restricted in how they can use CFAC, CFNA and CFB. For more
information refer to “Important considerations about how agents use features” on page
132.

P0607190 03
Skillset properties
Skillset
The number, either 1 or 2, that is assigned to the skillset.
Control DN
The Control Directory Number is the extension associated with the skillset.
Incoming calls transfer to the CDN of each skillset from extensions, the
Automated Attendant or Custom Call Routing. The CDN is the skillset
mailbox number.
When you assign a CDN to a skillset:
•
It can be a B1 extension number that is not connected to any telephone
or peripheral.
•
It can be a B2 extension that is not connected to a B2 application.
•
If a telephone or any other device uses the same extension the call
center will not answer calls.
•
The range of B1 and B2 extensions can be determined by using the
Unified Manager. The DNs do not have to be physically equipped with a
Media Bay Module.
•
The system assigns a skillset mailbox that uses the CDN as its mailbox
number. You must initialize the mailbox before you can use the skillset
or the mailbox.
•
Do not rename a telephone DN to a telephone DN used by Call Center.
•
It is possible for i2004 devices to be assigned to the DN used by Call
Center. The user does not receive an error message if this happens,
even though i2004 devices usually warn a user if there are conflicting
telephone DNs. Therefore, it is imperative that the i2004 programming
record contains a list of CDNs used by Call Center.
Limitations for B1 and B2 extensions:
•
A B1 extension number is the extension number that you dial to call a
telephone or peripheral. A B2 extension is a spare extension that exists
with every telephone but is generally not used. Some peripherals use a
B2.
•
Both B1 and B2 extensions can answer external calls.
•
Both B1 and B2 extensions can have external calls transferred to them
by a third person.
•
B1 extensions allow a set to be CFB or CFNA to them. B2 extensions
do not support CFB or CFNA. Therefore a skillset that uses a B2 CDN
cannot have calls forwarded to it from telephone programming.
•
B2 CDNs cannot be used as a prime set for target lines.
•
Since assigning CDNs does not require additional hardware, we
recommend using B1 CDNs over B2 CDNs. B1 CDNs have better
functionality than B2 CDNs.
Name
The skillset name is displayed:
•
on Call Center displays to identify the skillset
•
in reports
•
as the skillset mailbox name
The skillset name can be a maximum of 16 characters. If you do not enter a
name, the skillset name defaults to SKILLx where x is the skillset number.
The name for each skillset is the same as the skillset mailbox name.

CallPilot 100/150 Basic Call Center Telephone Administration Guide
MWI ext
(Message Waiting Indication
extension)
The Message Waiting Indication extension is an optional telephone number
that indicates that a skillset mailbox has messages waiting. The MWI
extension that you assign shows Message for you on the telephone display
when there are new messages in the skillset mailbox. The MWI DN defaults
to None. If you forget the MWI extensions for a skillset mailbox, you can
view the MWI extensions by using the procedure “Determining a skillset
mailbox number” on page 46.
Method of Call Distribution
The method of call distribution determines to which of several available
agents to route the call. There are two methods of call distribution: Longest
Idle and Preferred. Longest Idle routes the call to the agent who has been
available the longest. Preferred routes the call to the agent with the highest
priority (best qualified agent is 1). If there are several agents with the
highest priority, the agent available longest with that priority is selected. The
default method of call distribution is Longest Idle.
Break Time
Break Time is a time period for agents to complete paperwork after they
finish a call. After an agent completes a call, they are taken out of the
skillset for the Break Time. The agent can extend or cancel the Break Time
by using the Not Ready Feature Code. For more information, refer to “Not
Ready” on page 16. The Break Time period can last from zero to 59
minutes, 59 seconds. The Break Time defaults to 30 seconds. You can
change the Break Time period to zero if an agent does not need a Break
Time.
Delay Answer
Delay Answer is a toll-saving feature that prevents Call Center from
answering calls and playing greetings when there are no agents available.
When a call comes in on a line belonging to a skillset that has no free
agents, the call is not answered until either the Delay Answer time elapses
or an agent becomes available, whichever happens first. During the Delay
Answer time, the waiting callers hear ringback.
To activate the Delay Answer feature, enter a time for Delay Answer. The
Delay Answer time can be a minimum of zero seconds and a maximum of
10 minutes. The default Delay Answer time is 00:00.
Attendant extension
The attendant extension is the extension used if a caller presses the
Operator key during a greeting step, a transfer step, or while listening to a
mailbox greeting. The attendant extension is optional. If you do not assign
an attendant extension, the call is sent to the system attendant extension.
Language preference
Language preference can be either Primary or Alternate. The language
preference is the language choice used for prompting callers who transfer
to the Automated Attendant or CCR. You can choose a language
preference only if your system is configured as bilingual.

•
maximum message time is 15 minutes
•
maximum message length is three minutes
•
maximum message retention is 30 days
•
maximum greeting length of one minute

Skillset mailbox password
To decrease the chances of unauthorized access to a skillset mailbox, change its password
regularly, we suggest every 30 days.
Keep a written copy of the skillset mailbox passwords in “Skillset mailboxes” on page 140.
Give the skillset mailbox passwords only to the agents who retrieve messages at your call center.
For security reasons, choose an uncommon password, not a predictable password like 1234 or
1111. If someone knows a skillset mailbox password, they can access the skillset mailbox and play

Recording skillset mailbox greetings
After you initialize a skillset mailbox, record the greetings for it.
You can record Primary, Alternate and Personalized greetings for each skillset mailbox. You
record a Primary skillset mailbox greeting for everyday use. The Alternate skillset mailbox
greeting is an optional greeting you can record for special circumstances. If your call center
subscribes to Caller ID, you can record Personalized skillset mailbox greetings.
If you record Primary and Alternate skillset mailbox greetings, you must choose which greeting
plays to callers who reach the skillset mailbox.
You can also record greetings in an Alternate Language. Callers can press · while the greeting is
playing to listen to the voice prompts in the Alternate Language. Remember to inform callers in
the Primary skillset mailbox greeting that they can press · to hear the Alternate Language.
If the Operator Status is set to Yes, and a caller presses ‚ during the skillset mailbox greeting, the
caller transfers to the receptionist or Operator. For information about Operator Status, refer to the
CallPilot Manager Set Up and Operation Guide. Inform callers in the skillset mailbox greetings
that they can press ‚ to speak to the receptionist or Operator.
If the Operator Status is set to No, a caller who presses ‚ during the skillset mailbox greeting is
informed the Operator is not available, and is transferred to the skillset mailbox.
Examples of Primary and Alternate greetings
You must record a Primary greeting for each skillset mailbox. In the Primary greeting include the
skillset mailbox name that is listed in the Company Directory. For example:
“Hello. You have reached the Sales Department at Bridgestone Computers. At the sound of the
tone, please leave your name, telephone number and a brief message. One of our agents will return
your call as soon as possible. Thank you.”
You can record an Alternate greeting for each skillset mailbox. Use an Alternate greeting for
special circumstances. In the Alternate skillset mailbox greeting include the skillset mailbox name
that is listed in the Company Directory.
For example:
“Season’s Greetings! You have reached the Sales Department at Bridgestone Computers. At the
sound of the tone, please leave your name, telephone number and a brief message. One of our
agents will return your call when we re-open on December 27. Thank you.”

Recording a Personalized skillset mailbox greeting
If your call center subscribes to Caller ID, you can record a maximum of three Personalized
greetings for each skillset mailbox. For Personalized skillset mailbox greetings, you program Call
Center to recognize a specific telephone number. The Personalized skillset mailbox greeting plays
only for a call from the specific telephone number.
If you record a Personalized greeting, program the skillset mailbox to receive messages and choose
an Alternate mailbox greeting, the Personalized greeting takes precedence over any other
greetings. If you program the skillset mailbox not to receive messages and choose an Alternate
mailbox greeting, the Alternate mailbox greeting takes precedence over any other greeting,
including Personalized mailbox greetings.
In the Personalized skillset mailbox greeting include the skillset mailbox name that is listed in the
Company Directory. For example:
“Hi John. You have reached the Sales Department at Bridgestone Computers. At the sound of the

Checking skillset mailboxes for messages
Frequently check the skillset mailboxes for messages. Only one agent can retrieve messages from
each skillset mailbox at a time.
If different agents access the messages in the skillset mailbox throughout the day, each agent
should:
•
listen to the message
•
write down what the message says
•
erase the message
•
return the caller’s telephone call
If the caller is not available, the agent can try again later or pass the message on to another agent.
If the agent who listens to the message erases the message after writing down what it says:
•
the next agent does not waste time listening to the same message
•
the next agent knows if the callback was successful or not
•
only one agent contacts the caller
If only one agent is responsible for retrieving messages at your call center, this agent does not need
to transcribe and delete each message before callback. This agent handles messages and knows the
status of the old messages.

Off-premise Message Notification
About Off-premise Message Notification
Off-premise Message Notification notifies you or a designated agent when there are new or urgent
messages in a skillset mailbox. You can receive Off-premise Message Notification at any tone dial
telephone number, pager or extension.
You can receive notification of a message at a maximum of five different destination numbers.
When the number of retry attempts is reached for each destination number, the next number in the
series is called. For example, Call Center can call your car telephone first when there is a message
in the skillset mailbox. If there is no answer, Call Center waits five minutes and calls your car
telephone again. If there is still no answer, Call Center calls your car telephone a third time. If
there is no answer after three calls, Call Center calls your home telephone. Call Center continues to
call at five minute intervals until the call is answered or all of the destinations are called three
times.
Off-premise Message Notification, the Retry Intervals and Maximum Number of Attempts for
skillset mailboxes are assigned through the Class of Service settings in CallPilot Manager. Skillset
mailboxes have a default Class of Service of 1.
Class of Service 1 has these default settings for Off-premise Message Notification:
•
Off-premise Message Notification enabled
•
a Retry Interval of five minutes
•
a Maximum Number of Attempts of 3
For information about changing Class of Service settings, refer to the CallPilot Manager Set Up
and Operation Guide.
You must assign start and stop times for telephone and destinations. Off-premise Message
Notification begins when the start time is reached. Set the start time for a time when you are at the
destination number so that you are there to receive calls.
A person who receives an Off-premise Message Notification call can cancel Off-premise Message
Notification to their destination number. This is useful if a destination is incorrectly programmed
and a wrong party receives the calls.
The recipient of an Off-premise Message Notification call hears the following voice prompt:
“Message for (name of mailbox owner). To log on press ⁄. If you have received this call by
mistake, please press ¤.
After you set the Off-premise Message Notification parameters, Off-premise Message Notification
is enabled automatically.
Note: Set up Off-premise Message Notification for non-business hours. Then
Off-Premise Message Notification does not consume a Reserved or voice channel during
busy periods.
68 Chapter 7 Off-premise Message Notification
P0607190 03
Assigning an outdial method to a skillset mailbox
The outdial method determines which line, line pool or route code the system uses for Off-premise
Message Notification. The default for outdial method is None. You must assign an outdial method
before you can use an external telephone or a pager as an Off-premise Message Notification
destination.
For more information on line pools and route codes, refer to your system documentation.
To assign an outdial method to a skillset mailbox
Warning: Do not change the extension number assigned to the skillset mailbox. If this
extension number is changed, callers in the skillset cannot access the skillset mailbox
and you cannot change the Skillset general parameters. To correct a wrong extension
number, change the extension number to the Control DN of the skillset.

Setting up agents
Agents handle the calls in your call center. Supervisors are agents with additional capabilities.
Supervisors can change their own password and monitor calls between agents and callers. You can
record your agent programming in the table “Call Center agents” on page 138.
About adding agents
Basic Call Center includes 20 agents. This is the maximum number of agents you can have for
Basic Call Center. For more information about Call Center agents, refer to the Nortel Networks
Call Center Agent Guide.
Agent properties
Agent ID
Each agent is assigned a unique ID number. Call Center assigns the lowest
available ID number. Statistics are collected and reported for each ID
number. For more information on statistics, refer to “Monitoring call activity”
on page 125 and refer to the Nortel Networks Call Center Reporting Set Up
and Operation Guide.
Name
The agent name can be a maximum of 13 characters. If you do not enter a
name, a default agent name appears as the word Agent and the ID number,
for example, Agent12. Do not create agent names that have the same first
seven characters. If you use Call Center Reporting, it truncates the agent
name after the first seven characters and your agent names appear
identical.
Supervisor
Super indicates that an agent has supervisor status. A supervisor is an
agent with supervisor status. A supervisor has additional capabilities, such
as the ability to monitor calls between agents and callers. Supervisors can
monitor incoming calls only. Supervisors cannot monitor outgoing calls.
Automatic answer
Automatic Answer is optional. Select Automatic Answer if you want to
force-deliver calls to an agent.
If Automatic Answer is enabled, the agent hears a tone that indicates that a
call is delivered. The agent is automatically in the handsfree mode. It is
important that agents use the Not Ready feature when they are not
available to receive calls.
If Automatic Answer is not enabled, calls ring at the agent's telephone and
the agent must answer calls manually.

P0607190 03
Adding an agent
Missed Call Option
The Missed Call Option controls how a call is treated if an agent does not
answer the call. Busy assigns an agent's telephone to respond as it does
with the Not Ready feature enabled. Logout automatically logs an agent out
of their skillset if they do not answer a call.
The default is Busy, which returns the call to the skillset.
Agent priority
When you add agents to Call Center you assign them a priority that
represents their level of qualification. The priority can be used to determine
which of your agents receives an incoming call. The agent priority ranges
from 1 to 20. 1 is the highest agent priority for the most qualified agents.
The default value is 10.
