New or Updated Features of Avaya BCM-IVR 2.1
In previous Avaya BCM-IVR systems (such as the Avaya BCM-IVR 1.X system), both the
Avaya BCM 3.X and the IVR 1.X operated on an Embedded Windows NT platform. The IVR
1.X development and administration tools (PeriProducer 2.X, PeriStudio 1.X, PeriReporter,
and PeriView) ran on a Windows NT/2000 platform.
The Avaya BCM-IVR 2.1 system requires both the Carrier Grade Linux (NCGL) platform and
the Windows 2000 platform. The Avaya BCM 4.0 operates on the NCGL platform. The Avaya
BCM 4.0 runs IVR applications developed and administered with the latest releases of IVR
development and administration tools: PeriProducer 3.00, PeriStudio 2.20, PeriView 2.1, and
PeriReporter 1.21. These IVR development and administration tools run on the Windows 2000
platform.
In the Avaya BCM-IVR 2.1 system, Avaya BCMs are managed with Business Element
Manager, not Unified Manager (for more information about Business Element Manager, see
Avaya BCM 4.0 Networking Configuration Guide).
In the Avaya BCM-IVR 2.1 system, PeriView and PeriView Consolidator reside on a Windows
2000 workstation, and Avaya BCM 4.0 resides on an NCGL workstation. The Avaya BCMs
IVR capabilities are managed from any user PC by pointing the user PC web browser to the
PeriView/PeriView Consolidator workstation. A third workstation with Fedora Core 3 is required
if IVR applications use C/C++ external call functions.
As such, the configuration of the new Avaya BCM-IVR 2.1 system differs from that of the Avaya
BCM-IVR 1.X system.
Avaya BCM-IVR 1.X Configuration
The following figure shows a graphical representation of a typical Avaya BCM-IVR 1.X
configuration.
