CTI Route Point Configuration


A computer telephony integration (CTI) route point designates a virtual device that can receive multiple, simultaneous calls for application-controlled redirection.

For first-party call control, you can optionally add a CTI port for each active voice line (the CTI application determines this). Applications that use CTI route points and CTI ports include Cisco SoftPhone, Cisco IP Auto Attendant, and Cisco IP Interactive Voice Response System. After you add a CTI route point to Cisco CallManager Administration, information from the RIS Data Collector service displays in the CTI Route Point Configuration window. When available, the IP address of the device and the name of the Cisco CallManager with which the device registered display.

For detailed instructions on how to configure CTI route points and CTI ports that are associated with these applications, refer to the documentation and online help that is included with these applications.

This section describes the following basic procedures:

To delete a CTI route point, perform the following procedure.

Before You Begin

Because you can delete a CTI route point that is assigned to one or more directory numbers, you should determine which directory numbers are using the CTI route point by clicking the Dependency Records link from the CTI Route Point Configuration window. If the dependency records are not enabled fore the system, the dependency records summary window displays a message. For more information about dependency records, see the "Accessing Dependency Records" section on page A-3. If you try to delete a CTI route point that is in use, Cisco CallManager displays a message.

If you delete a CTI Route Point that has a directory number assigned to it, you can find the directory number by using the Route Plan Report. You can also delete the directory number by using the Route Plan Report.

Procedure


Step 1 Choose Device > CTI Route Point.

The Find/List CTI Route Points window displays.

Step 2 Specify the search criteria that are needed to locate the CTI route point that you want to delete.

Step 3 Click Find.

The window refreshes to display a list of the CTI route points that match the specified search criteria.

Step 4 Perform one of the following actions:

Check the check boxes next to the CTI route points that you want to delete and click Delete Selected.

Delete all the CTI route points in the window by checking the check box in the matching records title bar and clicking Delete Selected.

Choose the name of the CTI route point that you want to delete from the list to display its current settings and click Delete.

Table 44-1 CTI Route Point Configuration Settings 

Field
Description

Device Name

Enter unique identifier for this device, from 1 to 15 characters, including alphanumeric, dot, dash, or underscores.

Description

Enter a descriptive name for the CTI route point.

Device Pool

Choose the name of a Device Pool. The device pool specifies the collection of properties for this device including CallManager Group, Date/Time Group, Region, and Calling Search Space for auto-registration.

Calling Search Space

Choose a calling search space. The calling search space specifies the collection of partitions that are searched to determine how a collected (originating) number should be routed.

Location

Choose the appropriate location for this route point. The location specifies the total bandwidth that is available for calls to and from this location. A location setting of None means that the locations feature does not keep track of the bandwidth that this route point consumes.

Media Resource Group List

Choose the appropriate Media Resource Group List. A Media Resource Group List comprises a prioritized grouping of media resource groups. An application chooses the required media resource, such as a Music On Hold server, from the available media resources according to the priority order that is defined in a Media Resource Group List.

If you choose <none>, Cisco CallManager uses the Media Resource Group that is defined in the device pool.

For more information, see the "Media Resource Management" section in the Cisco CallManager System Guide.

User Hold Audio Source

To specify the audio source that plays when an application initiates a hold action, click the drop-down arrow and choose an audio source from the list that displays.

If you do not choose an audio source, Cisco CallManager uses the audio source that is defined in the device pool or the system default if the device pool does not specify an audio source ID.

You define audio sources in the Music On Hold Audio Source Configuration window. For access, choose Service > Music On Hold.

Network Hold Audio Source

To specify the audio source that is played when the network initiates a hold action, click the drop-down arrow and choose an audio source from the list that displays.

If you do not choose an audio source, Cisco CallManager uses the audio source that is defined in the device pool or the system default if the device pool does not specify an audio source ID.

You define audio sources in the Music On Hold Audio Source Configuration window. For access, choose Service > Music On Hold.
