Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.5(1)
This section describes new and changed features that are supported in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.5(1) and contains the following topics:
•
Agent Greeting—Allows the application to play pre-recorded messages when calls are connected successfully. The agent and the customer can hear the agent greeting and the agent can remain on mute until the greeting ends or answer the call over the greeting. For more information, see Agent Greeting.
•
Agent Zip Tone—Allow the TAPI applications to play tone on active calls, that is, play a tone on an agent phone after the call is answered (active state) by an agent. For more information, see Agent Zip Tone.
•
Early Offer—Allows the SIP trunk to support early offer outbound calls without using Media Termination Points (MTP) when the media capabilities and media port information of the calling endpoint is available. For more information, see Early Offer.
•
Extension Mobility Memory Optimization Option—Supports Cisco Unified TSP to use the TAPI LINE_CREATE / LINE_REMOVE mechanism to dynamically create and remove line devices that result from EM login or logout in both TSP 8.0(3) and 8.5(1) clients. For more information, see Extension Mobility Memory Optimization Option.
•
Native 64-bit TSP client—Cisco provides a new native TSP 64-bit client to interoperate with 64-bit TAPI applications and Windows operating systems to offset a Microsoft limitation that is preventing 32-bit DLLs from interacting with the Windows Telephony Service. The native TSP 64-bit client is available in Unified CM 8.5(1) Service Update 1 and is expected in Q1CY2011.
•
Other-Device State Notification—Using this feature, an application can assign devices that Cisco TSP should use to notify the application about non-opened device state changes. For more information, see Other-Device State Notification.
•
Unrestricted Cisco Unified Communications Manager—Encryption is permanently disabled in Unrestricted Unified CM, but signaling and media encryption are configurable for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.5(1) and Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.5(1). For more information, see Unrestricted Unified CM.
•
Whisper Coaching—Whisper coaching is an enhancement to the Silent Call Monitoring feature. Whisper Coaching allows supervisors to talk to agents during a monitoring session. This feature provides applications the ability to change the current monitoring mode of a monitoring call from Silent Monitoring to Whisper Coaching and vice versa. For more information, see Whisper Coaching.
•
Cisco announces the end-of- Availability for Cisco TAPI Wave Driver. The last release includes the affected product(s) is Unified Communication Manager Release 8.X. Unified Communication Manager 9.0(1) and later does not include Cisco TAPI Wave Driver.
