Call Management System (CMS)
Avaya Call Management System collects call traffic data, formats management reports,
and provides an administration interface for automatic call distribution on your system. It
helps you manage the people, traffic load, and equipment in an ACD environment by
answering such questions as:
How many calls are we handling?
How many callers abandon their calls before talking with an agent?
Are all agents handling a fair share of the calling load?
Are our lines busy often enough to warrant adding additional ones?
How has traffic changed in a given ACD hunt group over the past year?
Avaya CMS is a software product used primarily by organizations with call centers or
telemarketing groups. This database will generate standard or custom reports and also
enables you monitor call activities to determine the most efficient service possible for the
calling customers.
Carriers
Enclosed shelves containing vertical slots that hold circuit packs. Also called voice
system carriers.
Circuit pack
A card on which electrical circuits are printed, and integrated (IC) chips and electrical
components are installed. A circuit pack is installed in a voice system carrier.
There are two main types of Circuit Packs:
Port circuit packs—contain from four to 24 ports, to which phones, trunks, and other
hardware components are connected. The following are a few different types of port
circuit packs:
Analog—supports basic phones.
Digital—supports digital phones.
Hybrid—supports specialized communications such as wireless telephones.
ISDN/BRI—supports Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) phones.
Control circuit packs—"the brains of the system," include processor, memory, network
control, disk control, tape control, port network interface, duplication, and maintenance
packs.
Conversant
An interactive voice-response system that automates phone-call transactions from simple
tasks, like routing to the right department, to complex tasks, such as registering college
students or providing bank balances. It communicates with customers in natural-
sounding, digitally recorded speech, and it performs 24 hours a day without the services
of an operator.
