What's New in CRA Release 2.2(2)
CRA Release 2.2(2) includes the following new features:
•HTTP Subsystem and Steps—Provides web server capabilities to the Cisco Customer Response Application (CRA) Engine which allows applications to be accessed via a web browser.
•Application Messaging (eMail) Subsystem and Steps—Extends the CRA Engine by providing the means for interactive voice response (IVR) applications to send e-mail. You can also send e-mail messages to service providers that forward content to fax machines, pagers, and cell phones.
•Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility—Allows users within a Cisco CallManager cluster to log in to any Cisco IP Phone 7940 or 7960 and to use their personal phone numbers, speed dial, and other user-specific properties.
•Subflows—Allow application developers to invoke frequently used code segments by reference. This feature simplifies application script development and the visual layout of the workflow.
•Historical Reporting—Allows administrators to save daily and monthly application activity reports to data files on the application server hard disk.
•Enhanced Serviceability Support—Provides more detailed trace and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) information.
•Cisco CallManager Failover Support—Enables the CRA Engine to automatically connect to another clustered Cisco CallManager in the event of a primary Cisco CallManager failure.
•Music on Hold—Callers will hear music while waiting to be connected to an agent.
•Cisco Customer Response Applications Software Development Kit (CRA SDK)—Provides third-party developers with the means to create their own subsystems for the CRA Engine and workflow steps for the Cisco Customer Response Applications (CRA) Editor.
•Additional CTI Ports—Are now supported by CRA for a dedicated server installation. The following table lists the supported number of ports by server:

Additional Information Online
You can access information about CRA and related voice products online:
•Cisco voice product documentation is available in online help and on the web at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/index.htm
•CRA Release 2.2(2) information is available at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/sw_ap_to/apps22/index.htm
•Online help is available from the Application Administration pages, the CRA SDK, the CRA Editor, and the IP ICD Agent Desktop.
Notes
This section has information about CRA Release 2.2(2):
•Use distinct variables in the CRA Editor. Variables that differ only in capitalization of letters (for example, waitTime and WaitTime) might cause unexpected results.
•Resource Manager Essentials Release 3.3 is compatible with the serviceability feature for CRA Release 2.2(2). If your CiscoWorks2000 server has a different version of Resource Manager Essentials, you should copy SacNTService.exe from the Program Files\cscopx\htdocs\rdist\sysloga directory of the CiscoWorks2000 server to this CRA server directory, Program Files\cisco\bin.
•Certain types of transfers and conferences are not supported by the IP ICD Agent Desktop. Refer to the IP ICD Agent Desktop online help, or see the "Supported and Unsupported Actions with the IP Integrated Contact Distribution Agent Desktop" section for a complete description of the supported and unsupported actions and phone configurations.
•If you are upgrading to CRA 2.2(2) from a previous version, you should manually back up any system and user prompts, application script files (.aef), custom Java files(*.jar), and CRA SDK work before you upgrade. When the upgrade is complete, restore the prompts from backup.
•The files that you create with CRA SDK are not backed up by the automated backup program. You must manually back up any files that you create with the CRA SDK.
•You must enable DNS reverse lookup for the DNS server that you use for your CRA Server and for any systems that have the IP ICD Agent Desktop installed.
•The only voice-transmission codec supported directly by the CRA engine is G.711. SoftPhones, IP phones, and gateways can also use G.723 or G.729, either of which requires less bandwidth than G.711. However, in order for a device that uses one of the low-bandwidth codecs to connect to IVR and ICD, a transcoding device must translate between the codecs.
•When installing CRA on a separate server from the Cisco CallManager server, use the Cisco CallManager host name in the Cisco CallManager Database Location installation dialog box. Do not use the Cisco CallManager IP address in this dialog box. Using the IP address would cause data located in the Cisco CallManager publishing DC Directory to be replicated incorrectly to the CRA subscribing DC Directory.
Supported and Unsupported Actions with the IP Integrated Contact Distribution Agent Desktop
This section outlines the supported and unsupported actions for agents using the IP Integrated Contact Distribution (IP ICD) Agent Desktop. Agents can access similar information in the IP ICD Agent Desktop online help.
This section includes the following:
•Supported Actions for IP ICD Agents
•Unsupported Actions for IP ICD Agents
•Supported IP Phones for IP ICD Agents
•Configurations to Avoid for Agent Phones
•Additional Notes for IP ICD Agents
•Ring-No-Answer Properties File Setting
Supported Actions for IP ICD Agents
Agents who are already on an IP ICD call can do the following:
•Perform a consultative transfer or conference to another user or agent—The agent receives an IP ICD call, presses the Transfer button, enters the number of the person to whom he or she wishes to transfer the call, waits until the other person answers the transferred call, and completes the transfer by pressing the Transfer button again (see "CSCdt01536" in Table 5).
•Put a new IP ICD call on hold and reconnect to a holding IP ICD call.
•Perform a blind transfer to an IP ICD route point—Transferring a call to an IP ICD route point is supported only if you perform a blind transfer as quickly as possible (see "CSCdt44146" in Table 5).
To perform a blind transfer on a Cisco IP Phone, press the Transfer button, dial the route point number, and press the Transfer button again.
To perform a blind transfer on a Cisco IP SoftPhone, click the Transfer button, dial the route point, and then click Send Call.
Unsupported Actions for IP ICD Agents
These are not supported actions for the IP ICD agents:
•Arbitrary conference—Agent A receives an IP ICD call, places the call on hold, and initiates another call to another agent or user. Agent A then merges the two calls into a conference by making a new call and pressing the Conference button twice.
•Conferencing a call to a route point.
•Transferring a call to an ICD route point and waiting for the other agent to answer the call—The transfer will not go through. The second agent will be in In-Session state for five seconds and will then return to Available state, but the second agent's phone will never ring. The first agent can retrieve the call and try again.
•Picking up the phone when the IP ICD Desktop reports the status as In-Session, but before the phone rings—If the phone is off hook when the call is transferred, the transfer fails (see "CSCdt44146" in Table 5).
•Using Call Park.
•Using the MeetMe, Pickup, and GPickup softkeys.
Supported IP Phones for IP ICD Agents
These phones are supported by the IP ICD Agent Desktop:
•Cisco 7900 series phones
•Cisco IP SoftPhone
Configurations to Avoid for Agent Phones
To avoid problems with ICD agents' phones, use these configuration guidelines:
•Do not configure agents' phones to have two lines with the same extension number in different partitions.
•Do not assign the same ICD extension to more than one device.
•Do not configure forwarding on agent's ICD lines.
•Do not configure or use Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility with the ICD Agent Desktop.
Additional Notes for IP ICD Agents
These notes also apply for IP ICD agents:
•All outbound calls that an agent makes are considered non-IP ICD calls. When an agent picks up the phone, the ICD Agent Desktop sets the state to Unavailable.
•If an agent transfers a call to another agent, the second agent's state changes to In-Session.
•An agent who is in the Unavailable state can change to the In-Session state if another agent transfers or conferences an ICD call to him.
Ring-No-Answer Properties File Setting
You can use CRA to change a default setting that puts an ICD agent in the Unavailable state when the agent does not answer a call. The agent must click the Available button in order to become available again. This changes the setting for all agents; you cannot configure the setting differently for the individual agents.
To change this setting:
Step 1 On the CRA server, open the SubsystenRmCm.properties file (the default directory path is C:\Program Files\wfavvid.)
Step 2 Change the com.cisco.wf.subsystems.rmcm.agentUnavailRNA setting to
•False—if you want ICD agents who do not answer a call to return to the Available state.
•True—if you want ICD agents who do not answer calls to go Unavailable. This is the default state.
Note If you change this setting to false, and an agent is away from his desk, calls could continue to be routed to an agent who is actually not available.
Step 3 Restart the CRA engine.
Completing a Reinstallation of CRA
This section describes a procedure that you should use when you reinstall CRA 2.2(2) by using the installation CDs. Perform the following steps after you have completed the installation process.
Step 1 On the application server, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
Step 2 Double click Cisco Application Engine.
Step 3 At the Logon tab, enter and confirm the password (use the Windows 2000 administrator's password), and click Apply.
Step 4 On the application server, choose Start > Programs > Cisco CRA Administrator > Application Administrator.
Enter your user name and password, and click OK.
The Application Administration Setup Page appears.
Step 5 Click Setup on the Application Administration Setup Page.
The Directory Configuration page appears. The necessary fields are pre-populated with your directory configuration data.
Step 6 Click OK to confirm the directory configuration.
Step 7 Launch a command window by choosing Start > Run.
Step 8 Enter cmd, and click OK.
Step 9 Set the directory to:
C:\Program Files\wfavvid
Step 10 Run UpgradeAA.bat.
Step 11 Restart the application server.

Explanation
|
CSCds49021
|
This release does not support multiple lines for the same CTI device.
|
If you add multiple lines for the same CTI device instead of creating individual CTI devices for each directory number, no CTI devices will be in service.
|
CSCdt63109
|
Cisco IP AA is not automatically updated after upgrading to Release 2.2(2).
|
The Cisco IP AA application script is not automatically updated after you upgrade to CRA Release 2.2(2).
To work around this problem, run UpgradeAA.bat after you access the Application Administration page, and re-initialize the LDAP directory.
|
CSCdu69713
|
After upgrading, the Cisco IP AA operator extension is missing.
|
If you upgrade from Cisco IP IVR Release 2.0, the operator extension is deleted from the Cisco IP AA configuration.
To work around this problem, reenter the operator extension.
|
CSCdu71694
|
A Cisco IP AA call is dropped after attempted transfer to busy extension without call waiting.
|
If a Cisco IP AA call is transferred to a busy extension that has forwarding configured and the call is then forwarded to another busy extension that does not have call waiting, the call drops.
|
CSCdv82338
|
Cisco IP AA plays the wrong message or no message.
|
When a caller selects the option to dial a known extension and dials a non-existent or invalid number, the prompt for "invalid number" or "number not in service" does not play. The caller is returned to the main menu prompts.
To work around this problem, use the Workflow Editor to access the script for the IP AA (wfavvid/aa.aef). Add a delay of one second before each prompt that does not play.

User receives HTTP Error after pressing the Services button.
|
A user presses the Services button on his or her IP phone and receives an HTTP error.
To work around this problem, unplug the phone, and plug it back in.
|
CSCdu78847
|
When attempting to log in, the user receives an Application Authentication Error and Host Not Found error.
|
A user attempts to log into his or her phone and receives an Application Authentication error and a Host Not Found error.
There is no workaround for this problem.

|
Extension Mobility login service intermittently fails.
|
This problem can occur when the virtual directory on the Internet Information Server (IIS) fails. All file requests to the virtual directory result in an HTTP 500 error (Internal Service Error).
As a workaround, restart IIS. This should make the virtual directory function properly.
|
Known Problems for Cisco IP Interactive Voice Response and CRA Server

|
If a port is removed from JTAPI user, the CRA Engine continues to control the port.
|
If a CTI port under the control of the JTAPI user defined for IP IVR is removed from that user, the CRA Engine continues to process calls using that port.
To work around this problem, restart either the CRA Engine or the Cisco CallManager.
|
CSCdr67023
|
CRA Editor Set step does not permit using the single quote character.
|
The Set step in the CRA Editor does not allow you to enter strings with the single quote character (`).
|
CSCdr82447
|
If the system is handling the maximum number of tasks, additional callers hear ringing and do not connect.
|
If a call comes into the system when the maximum number of concurrent sessions is reached, the call is blocked. Callers hear ringing until there is an available session to handle the call.
To avoid this problem, do not change the default value of 120 for the maximum number of concurrent tasks.
|
CSCds00038
|
ParseXML step always requires a URL Source ID.
|
The ParseXML step takes two parameters, an input stream and a Source ID (URL). Even if you use an OpenURL step to create an input stream, and the input stream refers to other resources, you must enter the URL for the ParseXML step.
|
CSCds09801
|
Real Time Reporting groups report by file name, not by application name.
|
Real Time Reporting displays the level of activity for each application, grouped by the filename of the application script instead of by the name of the configured application.
This could be confusing if there are two different applications with two separate CTI route points, but both route points run the same application file. The reporting client will not report activity for each application but will group them both under the same application filename.
|
CSCds37069
|
The help browser window does not update to show new content when you invoke context-sensitive help.
|
Microsoft Internet Explorer has a caching error that occurs when using help hyperlinks.
To work around this problem, close the help windows before invoking context-sensitive help or disable browser caching by performing the following steps:
1. In Internet Explorer, select View > Internet Options.
2. Click Settings from the General tab in the Temporary Internet Files section.
3. In the new dialog box that appears, select the Every visit to the page radio button in the Check for newer versions of stored pages section.
4. If the preceding steps fail, click the Refresh button on the browser to display the correct page.
|
CSCds47571
|
Netscape Navigator reports an error when you access online help.
|
If you use Netscape Navigator to view the CRA online help, the following error message might appear:
Problem with Shortcut Unable to open C:\Program Files\wfavvid\help\ IVR\tindex.html
The online help still displays and responds.
|
CSCds66012
|
Refreshing scripts in the CRA Engine block incoming calls.
|
If you refresh scripts in the CRA Engine while there is an incoming call, the web page stops responding. Calls in progress are not affected, but incoming calls will not go through.
To work around this problem, refresh the CRA Engine scripts only during off-peak hours.
|
CSCds71313
|
A race condition after a caller hangs up might generate an error message.
|
When a caller hangs up, a race condition might occur before the CRA Engine is notified of the event. During that time, if the CRA Engine attempts to do any call control, errors might be generated.
Similar errors could also show up while an attempt is made to transfer a call or recover a CTI port if this race condition is encountered.
This error does not affect system operation, because the system receives the event notification that the caller disconnected.
|
CSCds71985
|
CTI Route Point and CTI Port extensions above MAX_INT or with initial zeros do not work.
|
If you configure a CTI route point or CTI port with a number higher than MAX_INT, which is 2147483647, the configuration will fail.
If you configure a route point with initial zeros (for example, 0002), it will be accepted as just 2. However, if you configure a CTI port with a directory number that begins with zeros, such as 0002, the configuration will fail.
To work around this problem, configure CTI route point and CTI port extensions with integers from 1 to 2147483647 and with no initial zeros.
|
CSCds73727
|
The Set step does not accept null.
|
The Set step does not accept null as a valid entry in the Expression Editor for string variables. If you attempt to enter null, you might not be able to close the window by clicking OK.
To work around this problem, enclose null in quotes: "null".
|
CSCds74780
|
Reinstalling or upgrading CRA results in an engine service logon failure.
|
If you reinstall or upgrade CRA on the ICS 7750, MCS-7822, or MCS-7835, you must log in to the CRA Engine again:
1. Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services.
2. Double-click Cisco Application Engine.
3. Select the Log On tab.
4. Enter the administrator's password in the Password and Confirm Password fields, and click OK.
5. Restart the Engine service.
|
CSCds76056
|
Increment step and Decrement step do not report out of range for values higher or lower than the maximum integer.
|
If you use the Increment step on a variable with the value equal to the maximum integer value, 2147483647, the step returns the value -2147483648 instead of reporting that the number is out of range. Successive increments increase the value, starting from -2147483648.
The same problem occurs with the Decrement step; if you decrement -2147483648, the returned value is 2147483647.
|
CSCdt08655
|
Parameter fields are not available on Application Administration pages for application scripts with user-created steps.
|
If you create an application script with user-defined steps using the CRA SDK, parameters might not be available from the Application Administration pages.
To work around this problem, make sure the *.jar file or classes are included in the system class path.
|
CSCdt59115
|
Calls from H.323 gateway fail under light load.
|
If five or more calls simultaneously reach CRA applications through an AS5300 gateway running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5), all the calls will be dropped.
To work around this problem, use Cisco IOS Release 12.1(3)T on any AS5300 machines.
|
CSCdt59215
|
Calls redirected from CRA might not be routed correctly.
|
Calls redirected from the CRA Engine might not be routed by Cisco CallManager. Cisco CallManager uses the Calling Search Space of the device originating the call to determine how to redirect the call.
This problem occurs only if you implement Partitions and Calling Search Spaces on your Cisco CallManager.
To work around this problem, assign the desired Calling Search Space to the devices calling the CRA Engine instead of to the CTI ports.
|
CSCdt86640
|
Install fails with erroneous insufficient space message.
|
During the install procedure, the installer reports that there is not enough space to continue the installation, even though there is enough space on the disk. This happens because the InstallShield is unable to determine the free disk space on an NTFS.
To work around this problem, use up additional disk space by copying some files, such as C:\Program Files\ to Copy of Program Files, to allow the install to continue. Delete the duplicate folders after installation is completed.
|
CSCdu10684
|
CRA administrator password invalid when it contains a space.
|
If you enter spaces in the CRA Administrator password during the installation, the password will not work when you log in.
To work around, reenter the password in the Service Manager:
1. On the CRA Server, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
2. Double-click Cisco Application Engine.
3. Choose the Log On tab.
4. Enter and confirm the CRA Administrator password, and click Apply.
|
CSCdu27031
|
Most recent trace file is not displayed on Application Administration pages.
|
Sometimes the most recent trace file is not displayed on the Application Administration pages.
To work around this problem, access the trace files in the directory in which CRA is installed (the default is C:\Program Files\wfavvid).
|
CSCdu33360
|
Get Session Info step displays incorrect Transferred Arrival Type.
|
The Get Session Info step displays an incorrect Transferred Arrival Type for calls transferred to a route point.
|
CSCdv02936
|
Search option in CRA Editor online help results in an exception error.
|
An exception error results if you refuse the security warning about the jvm7.tmp file that appears when you click the online help Search button. This situation occurs only if you are using the CRA Editor on the application server.
To work around this problem, select "yes" at the security warning.
|
CSCdu73038
|
CRA Engine does not start if IBM DB2 server is down.
|
If you attempt to start the CRA Engine when your IBM DB2 server is not working, the CRA Engine does not start.
To work around this problem, make sure that your IBM DB2 server is working before you start the CRA Engine.
To avoid this problem, configure the IBM DB2 associated ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) to use the Named Pipe protocol instead of TCP/IP.
|
CSCdv37887
|
CRA Editor does not save changes to the Cancel Key and Terminating Key properties for the Name To Address Step.
|
On the Name To Address Step customizer, two properties in the Input tab remain unchanged even after the user attempts to change the values of these properties and saves the changes. These two properties are the Terminating Key and the Cancel Key.
There is no workaround for this problem.

Known Problems for IP ICD
Table 5 lists the open caveats and known problems for IP ICD in CRA Release 2.2(2).
Table 5 Known Problems for IP ICD
Bug ID
|
Summary
|
Explanation
|
CSCds64570
|
Transferring a call to a route point with an available agent does not work.
|
If you transfer a call to a route point with an available agent, the agent never gets the call. The consult call ends, and the agent's state becomes Unavailable.
To work around this problem, complete the transfer to the route point before the route point finds an available agent. (See the "Supported and Unsupported Actions with the IP Integrated Contact Distribution Agent Desktop" section.)
|
CSCds78439
|
Calls disconnect when placed to an application that uses the Select Resource step with an invalid ESD.
|
If you write an application with a Select Resource step that uses an invalid Event Service Desk (ESD), calls to that application are dropped.
To work around this problem, make sure the application specifies the correct ESD.
|
CSCdt01536
|
After conferencing a call to another agent, both agents remain in an In-Session state.
|
If an agent on an ICD call initiates and completes a conference to another agent before the other agent answers, the caller is disconnected. After the call ends, both agents remain in an In-Session state, instead of returning to the Available state.
To work around this problem, the agents must close and reopen the IP ICD Desktop.
To prevent this problem, make sure agents do not complete a conference until the second agent answers the call. (See the "Supported and Unsupported Actions with the IP Integrated Contact Distribution Agent Desktop" section.)
|
CSCdt44146
|
IP ICD calls can be routed to an agent who is already on a call.
|
If an application script uses a Select Resource step with the Connect option off and the Selected branch performs an action that takes time, such as playing a prompt, another agent can transfer a different call to the selected agent before the first call rings.
If the agent answers the transferred call and lets the routed call ring without answering it, the agent's state becomes Unavailable after dropping his call.
If the agent picks up the phone, the transfer fails.
To work around this problem, disable call waiting on the agent's IP ICD extension.
Agents should always wait for the phone to ring before going off hook, even if the IP ICD Desktop reports the state In-Session. (See the "Supported and Unsupported Actions with the IP Integrated Contact Distribution Agent Desktop" section.)
|
CSCdt73284
|
ICD Agent Desktop does not start.
|
If you install the ICD Agent Desktop and the CRA Editor in the same directory, and then remove the CRA Editor, the ICD Agent Desktop might not start.
To work around this problem, install the ICD Agent Desktop and the CRA Editor in different directories.
|
CSCdt75451
|
Agent state remains In-Session after answering call forwarding.
|
If an agent has Forward No Answer configured on an IP ICD extension and does not answer a IP ICD call, the call is forwarded if the Forward No Answer timeout is shorter than the Ring No Answer timeout for the IP ICD. After the call is forwarded, the agent's state remains In-Session.
To work around this problem, the agent must close and reopen IP ICD Desktop and log in again.
To avoid this problem, the agent should become Unavailable when he or she has Forward No Answer configured on his or her IP ICD extension.

Agents in a consult transfer and a conference at the same time end in wrong state.
|
If an agent in a consult transfer completes a conference with another agent, agents states and reporting statistics are displayed incorrectly.
For example, Agent A receives an ICD call and begins to transfer the call to Agent B. Before the transfer completes, Agent B initiates a consult conference to Agent C. Agent B then completes the conference and Agent A completes the transfer.
During the call:
•Agent C is in the Unavailable state instead of the In-Session state.
•The statistics do not record that Agent B handled a contact or that Agent C was presented a contact or handled a contact.
After the call ends:
•Agent C is in the Unavailable state instead of the Available state.
•The total contacts and contacts handled are both 1 instead of zero.

ICD Agent Desktop not properly updated.
|
If you have an older version of the Agent Desktop cached in your browser and are downloading a newer version, you may encounter incompatibility between the Agent Desktop and application server.
To work around this problem, clean up the browser's cache prior to downloading the Agent Desktop.

Call gets routed to an agent who is already in the In-Session state.
|
An agent's state might be reset incorrectly to the Available state while the agent is already handling a call. If this occurs, the agent can receive a second call, which he or she can choose to answer. The agent will be in the Available state again after both calls are dropped. If the agent becomes Unavailable after both calls are dropped, he or she can click Available to accept calls.

ICD agents are unable to login.
|
Agents may intermittently receive the following error message while logging in: "Unable to contact remote host."
To work around this problem, exit the agent desktop, and try logging in again. Repeat this process if you still receive the error message.

Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two types of support are available through the Cisco TAC: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.
Inquiries to Cisco TAC are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:
•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.
•Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.
•Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.
•Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.
Which Cisco TAC resource you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.
Cisco TAC Web Site
The Cisco TAC Web Site allows you to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco services contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to the following URL to register:
http://www.cisco.com/register/
If you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, and you are a Cisco.com registered user, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen
If you have Internet access, it is recommended that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses issues that are classified as priority level 1 or priority level 2; these classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer will automatically open a case.
To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml
Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled; for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). In addition, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.
