2. 2011 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved. AES is a platform that enables the development of modular building blocks for advanced communication services. What is AES? AES provides: An extensive set of protocols Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) Web services 2 3. 2011 Avaya Inc.

Presence Event Integration Access Services SES AES Communication Manager AES opens up the CM functionality Web services are leveraged in creating communication applications Adds communications capabilities to common desktop tools 3 4. 2011 Avaya Inc.

Main Functions of AES Enables the integration of communication and business applications Delivers API connectors and web services Leverages the current investment Simplifies the implementation and serviceability options AES 4 5. 2011 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved. What is CTI? CTI, as the term implies, is the integration of computer and telephony resources at the application level. For consolidation of control on the desktop (PC). For coordinated presentation to the user. In other words, by integrating the connectivity between data and voice, information about a call (or the caller) can be presented to the user in a coordinated manner. In Simpler terms. a conduit between data and voice environments 6 6. 2011 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved. CTI Server Site 1 Site 2 Customer Database Voice CTI The customer places a call and the ACD server routes it to a CSR.The ACD server generates an event to the CTI server that a call is alerting.The CTI server passes call information to the desktop application.The desktop application interrogates the customer database.Customer information is returned to the desktop application.The screen-pop is delivered to the CSR.The CSR selects transfer and the application sends a request to the CTI server.The CTI server instructs the ACD server to transfer the call.The ACD server makes the transfer and the call is routed to the Subject Matter Expert.The ACD server at Site 2 sends the call alerting event to the CTI server.The CTI server sends the call information to the desktop application.The process repeats itself and the screen-pop is delivered to the Subject Matter Expert.

DMCC Service Enables access to Avaya Communication Manager Telephony Feature Set via: XML Protocol Java API .NET API Based on CSTA III Standard Enables Avaya, Business Partners, 3rd Party and Corporate Application Developers to access Communication Manager Telephony via the following supported CSTA Services: Physical Device Services and Events Voice Unit Services and Events Call Control Services and Events** Logical Device Services and Events** Snapshot Services** Monitoring Services **Requires TSAPI Basic licenses and Tlink between AE Server and CM. 17 16. 2011 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved. AE Services integration for Microsoft Office Communications Server licensing The AE Services integration with either Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 or Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 requires the following licensing: AE Services Unified Desktop Edition RTU (Right To Use) Every active Microsoft Office Communicator client consumes one Unified Desktop license for the duration of the period that it has an active dialog with AE Services (every registered Microsoft Office Communicator, not only those in the call). AE Services integration for IBM Lotus Sametime licensing The AE Services integration for IBM Lotus Sametime integration requires the following licensing: AE Services Unified Desktop Edition RTU (Right To Use) - Every active Sametime Connect/Lotus Notes client will consume one Unified Desktop license for the duration of the dialog with AE Services. Unified Desktop Licenses 19 17. 2011 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved. TSAPI/JTAPI License The TSAPI Service provides third party call control services. AE Services JTAPI is a client side interface to the TSAPI service, and, as such it provides third party call control as well. For TSAPI (and JTAPI), AE Services provides two types of licenses: the TSAPI Basic Users license, and the TSAPI Advanced license. TSAPI Basic User license often referred to as either an "agent-based license" or a "station based license." intended for applications that want to monitor a call or a station. In the license file it is denoted as a "Simultaneous User" file. It is scaled in terms of the number of agents or stations that you want to monitor. The TSAPI Basic User license requires that you license and enable Computer Telephony Adjunct Links on Communication Manager. The TSAPI/JTAPI Advanced License The TSAPI Advanced License is intended for applications that launch calls (predictive dialing applications) or route calls. Provides the equivalent functionality available with ASAI Plus and also includes both CTI Station and Phantom Call functionality. It is based on the number of CM servers you want to license and the size of the CM Platform: Small (S84xx), Medium (S85xx), and Large (S87xx). 20 18. 2011 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved. CVLAN/DLG Licensing The CVLAN Service provides third party call control. The CVLAN Service is integrated with Avaya applications, and it is used by customer applications. When the CVLAN Service is used for customer applications, it includes a CM license for ASAI Core and ASAI Plus. Optionally you can license the following features on Communication Manager: CTI Stations, Phantom Calls, Adjunct Route, and Increased Adjunct Route Capacity. Customer applications must use an ASAI-IP link type on CM. This link type requires ASAI Core and ASAI Plus. Avaya Interaction Center (IC) requires and ADJ-IP link type. Enables Computer Telephony Adjunct Links on the CM, hence Avaya IC is the only application that can use an ADJ-IP link on CM. DLG Licensing The DLG Service includes a CM license for ASAI Core and ASAI Plus. Optionally you can license the following features on CM: CTI Stations, Phantom Calls, Adjunct Route, and Increased Adjunct Route Capacity. Customer applications must use an ASAI-IP link type on CM. This link type requires ASAI Core and ASAI Plus. 21 19. 2011 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved. Communication Manager- ASAI Capabilities For customer-developed CVLAN and ASAI-based applications, Communications Manager must be provisioned with ASAI features. The following list describes ASAI core, plus, and optional feature levels. ASAI Core features Adjunct Call Control Group (for example, third party call control) Domain Control Group (for example, domain control of a station) Event Notification Group (for example, event stream for VDN) Request Feature Group (for example, login agent and send all calls) Set Value Group (for example, set message waiting indicator) Single Step Conference 22 20. 2011 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved. ASAI continued. ASAI Plus features Switch Classified call (Predictive Dialing) Answer Machine Detection (from within classified call) Selective Listening/Hold Note: For Communication Manager 5.1 and later, the ASAI Adjunct Route feature has changed from an ASAI Plus to an ASAI Optional feature. ASAI Optional Features CTI Stations Phantom Calls Adjunct Route new Increased Adjunct Routes 23 21. 2011 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved.
