Introduction

This document answers some of the most common questions about how to obtain software upgrades for Customer Response Solutions (CRS) 3.0 on Integrated Communications System (ICS) 7750 platforms. The packaged solutions addressed in this document for ICS 7750 are Internet Protocol-Interactive Voice Response (IP-IVR) and Cisco IP Contact Center (IPCC) Express Edition, formerly known as IP Integrated Contact Distribution (IP ICD).

This document is not intended to replace the general information regarding support contracts. Contact your local Service Sales Representative for details on support contracts and for further clarification on ordering.

Refer to this document for technical information about CRS 3.0 (IP-IVR and IPCC Express) software on the ICS 7750:

Q. I want to upgrade my ICS 7750 to IP-IVR 3.0 or IPCC Express 3.0. What software do I need?

A. You need to obtain the IP-IVR software and/or IPCC Express software, Cisco CallManager software for ICS, and ICS System Manager software. These current versions are supported:

  • IP-IVR and IPCC Express 3.0(1) to 3.0(3) are only supported with CallManager 3.3, which requires ICS System Manager 2.6.
  • IP-IVR and IPCC Express 3.0(3a) support all CallManager versions later than CM3.2(2c)+spF. If you use CallManager 3.2, you need ICS System Manager 2.5. If you use CallManager 3.3, you need ICS System Manager 2.6.

This document is limited to explanations of how to obtain IP-IVR and IPCC Express software. Refer to these documents for additional information about software upgrades for CallManager 3.3 and ICS System Manager 2.6:

Refer to Cisco Customer Response Applications Release 3.0 on the Cisco ICS 7750 for current information about qualified combinations of product releases for CRS solutions (IP-IVR and IPCC Express).

Q. Are the IP-IVR 3.0 or the IPCC Express 3.0 upgrades for ICS 7750 available on CCO?

A. No. The IP-IVR 3.0 and IPCC Express 3.0 upgrades for ICS 7750 or Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) are only available on CDs. They are not available for download from Cisco Connection Online (CCO).

Q. I currently have CRA 2.2 in my ICS 7750 and no Support Contract. How can I upgrade to IP-IVR 3.0 or IPCC Express 3.0 on my ICS7750?

A. Purchase the software CDs for IP-IVR and/or IPCC Express upgrade for ICS 7750. Use this list of product numbers to identify the option that you need:

  • Product number for CRA 2.2 to ICD Standard 3.x upgrade, includes 10 Standard Agents-ICS 7750: ICD3.0-SU22-3X-ICS=
  • Product number for CRA 2.2 to ICD Enhanced 3.x upgrade, includes 10 Enhanced Agents-ICS 7750: ICD3.0-EU22-3X-ICS=
  • Product number for IVR2.2 to IVR3.0 upgrade, includes 5 IVR port licenses: IVR30-U2X-ICS=

Note: 1 GB of RAM is required on your system processing engine (SPE) to install CRS 3.0 solutions (IP-IVR or IPCC Express). If you do not have the required memory, you can purchase it with product number MEM-SPE-512D=.

Contact your Service Sales Representative for prices or for more details.

Q. I currently have CRA 2.2 in my ICS 7750 and a Support Contract. How can I upgrade to IP-IVR 3.0 or IPCC Express 3.0 on my ICS 7750 ?
