    Issue  3   March 1996
    3-227
    Interactions
    The following features interact with the Automatic Wakeup feature.
    nAttendant or Voice Terminal Display
    If the console or terminal is in the Automatic Wakeup mode and the user 
    presses another display mode button, the Wakeup mode is aborted and 
    the wakeup request is not entered, changed, or deleted.
    nDo Not Disturb
    If Do Not Disturb  is active at a voice terminal, the Automatic Wakeup 
    feature d eactivates Do Not Disturb for that terminal, and then the system 
    places the wakeup call.
    nPMS Interface
    A Check-Out request will cancel an active wakeup call request for the 
    guest room.  Also, a Room Change/Room Swap  request through the PMS 
    will cause a wakeup request to be changed or swapped.
    nVoice Synthesis Board
    Auto Wakeup competes with the following features for use of the Speech 
    Synthesis board.
    — Do Not Disturb
    — Voice Message Retrieval
    — Visually Impaired Attendant Service
    Administration
    The Automatic Wakeu p feature is administered by the System Manager. The 
    following items require administration:
    nWakeup call announcement type — Choose one of the following:  music, 
    external recorded announcement, voice synthesis announcement, 
    integrated, multiple integrated, or silence.
    nLength of time to leave a voice terminal connected to the announcement.
    nExtension number to receive LWC messages for failed wakeup call 
    attemp ts.
    nExtension number to receive wakeup call attempts when voice synthesis 
    prompting is not available.
    nAutomatic Wakeup Entry button (per attendant console or 
    display-equipped terminal).
    nFeature access code for voice prompting.
    nSpecial access code for the attendant to verify that speech synthesis 
    announcements are operating properly. 
    						
    							Feature Descriptions
    3-228Issue  3   March 1996 
    nHospitality-Related System Parameters assignments:
    — Extension number for the wakeup log printer, if a journal printer is 
    used
    — The time for the scheduled Wakeup Activity Report to b e printed
    — The time for the scheduled Wakeup Summary Report to be printed
    — Integrated Announcement Extension if the Announcement Typ e  is 
    integrated
    — Default Announcement Extension if the Announcement Type is 
    multiple-integrated
    (G3V3 and  later releases)  If you are going to use the integrated announcement 
    types, you must administer the following:
    nThe “ G3V3 O ptions”  field on the ‘System-Parameters Customer-Options’ 
    form (c ontact your AT&T support representative for assistance).
    nThe “ G3V3 Enhanced Hospitality”  field on the ‘System-Parameters 
    Customer-Options’ form (c ontact your AT&T support representative for 
    assistance).
    nThe extensions used for the announcements, administered on the 
    ‘Announcements/Audio Sources’ form.
    nRepeating announcements and barge-in queues, a dministered on the 
    ‘Announcements/Audio Sources’ form.
    Hardware and Software Requirements
    If voice prompting is used, a TN725 Speech Synthesizer c ircuit pack is required.  
    Each circ uit pack has four ports to provide voice promp ting. If speech synthesis 
    is selected for wakeup call announcements, two ports must b e reserved for 
    wakeup announcements.
    If recorded announcements are used, a model HQD 614B Recorder/Announcer 
    manufactured by the Audichron Company is required.  Each 
    Recorder/Announcer requires four auxiliary trunk ports which must be on the 
    same TN763B circ uit pack.
    With hosp itality features such as Automatic Wakeup, it is recommended that a 
    journal printer be used with switch configurations larg er than 800 stations. The 
    journal printer requires an MPDM and a port on a Digital Line circuit pack or an 
    ADU and a port on a Data Line circuit pack.
    No a d ditional software is required.
    Integrated announcement types require the TN750B record ed announcements 
    circuit pack. Multiple integrated announcements require the TN750C circuit 
    p a cks. See the Recorded Announcement feature for details.

    Basic Call Management System 
    (BCMS)
    Feature Availability
    This feature is available with all Generic 3 releases.
    Description
    Provides real-time and historical reports to assist customers in managing 
    individual agents, ACD splits (hunt groups), VDNs, and trunk groups. These 
    reports are a subset of those available on the CMS adjunct. BCMS reports can 
    be accessed and displayed on the Management Terminal or printed on demand 
    on the printer associated with the Management Terminal. In ad d ition, the 
    historical reports can be sc heduled to print on the system printer.
    The BCMS report feature collects and displays information pertaining to 
    individual agents (based on the agent’s extension), ACD splits, trunk groups, 
    and VDNs. Data is stored by hour or half hour for 25 time intervals (includes 
    current time interval). Daily summary data are also calculated and stored for 
    seven days.
    The following reports are available with the BCMS:
    nReal Time Re ports
    — Split Status
    — System Status
    — VDN Status
    nHistorical Reports
    — Agent
    — Agent Summary
    — Split
    — Split Summary
    — Trunk Group
    — Trunk Group Summary
    — VDN
    — VDN Summary
    The reports can be displayed and/or printed both locally and remotely. Locally, 
    the reports can be accessed by the ACD administrator from the Management 
    Terminal. Customers with multiple premises may wish to centralize the

    measurements data evaluation and access the switch data remotely. Reports 
    can also be scheduled to print on the Report Scheduler system printer.
    An examp le of each BCMS report follows, along with a brief description of the 
    data in the report. More detailed information on these reports can be found in 
    DEFI NI TY Com munications System Generic 3 Basic Call Management System 
    (BCMS) O perations
    , 555-230-704.
    VuStats, available in G3V3 an d later releases, provides call measurements for 
    voice terminals equipped with displays. This feature can be used in conjunction 
    with R3 CMS or BCMS to supplement the numb er of individuals receiving 
    real-time information about call performance. This feature can also b e used 
    without BCMS. (Refer to ‘‘Considerations’’ at the end of this section.)
    NOTE:
    The screens and calculations for some of the field values differ between 
    G3V1, V2, V3, and V4.
    Also, if the EAS feature is optioned on the switch, the word ‘‘split’’ on menus 
    and screens actually prints as ‘‘skill’’ since the concept of skills and skill 
    groups replaces splits in an EAS environment.
    Acceptable Service Level
    Before using BCMS, you must understand the concept of Acceptable Service 
    Level and then set the “ Acceptable Service Level”  field on various forms.
    Acceptable Service Level is the desired time to answer for a given VDN or hunt 
    group.  Timing for a call begins when the call encounters a VDN or enters a hunt 
    group queue. If the number of seconds to answer the call is equal to or less than 
    the administered acceptable service level for the VDN or hunt group, the call is 
    recorded as acceptable. 
    Percent Within Service Level
    A service level can be administered for each hunt group or VDN, if the customer 
    option has been set to ‘‘y’’ and if the hunt group or VDN is measured by BCMS. 
    The service level is the amount of time (number of seconds) allowed the switch to 
    answer calls (from 0 to 9999).
    To calculate the percentage of calls within the acceptable service level, BCMS 
    divides the number of acceptable calls by the calls offered.
    For hunt  groups, BCMS calculates the Percent Within Service Level as follows:
    %IN SERV LEVL=
    ACDcalls+abandons+out f lows+dequeued accepted *100

    where
    accepted 
    — Is the number of calls answered for which the q ueue time was less 
    than or e qual to the administered service level for the sp lit.
    dequeued 
    — Is the number of calls that encountered t he split’s queue, b ut were 
    NOT answered, abandoned, or outflowed.  This occurs with multiple split 
    queuing.
    For VDNs, BCMS calculates the Percent Within Service Level as follows:
    where
    accepted 
    — Is the number of answered calls (num ans) for which the answer 
    time was less than or equal to the administered service level for the VDN.  
    num

     here refers to the data item on the form of the same name.
    calls offered 
    — Is the total numb er of c om pleted c alls that accessed the VDN 
    during the interval.
    BCMS Real-Time Reports
    BCMS provides three real-time reports:
    nBCMS Split Status Report
    nBCMS System Status Report
    nBCMS VDN Status Report
    The BCMS Split Status Report provides the current (real-time) status and 
    cumulative measurement data for those agents assigned to the split you specify. 
    The  BCMS System Status Report provides current (real-time) status information 
    for either all BCMS splits or selected splits. The  BCMS  VDN Status Re port 
    provides the current (real-time) status and cumulative measurement data for 
    VDNs monitored by BCMS.
    You may generate these reports using the monitor command. These reports 
    display data accrued since the last interval boundary. The time intervals may be 
    in one-hour or half-hour increments. (To select the desired increment, access the 
    Feature-Related System Parameters sc reen and enter hour or half-hour in the 
    “ Measurement Interval”  field.

    There are three monitor commands, one to print each real-time report:
    nbcms split
    nbcms system
    nbcms vdn
    The bcms split c ommand g enerates the BCMS Split Status Report. The bcms 
    system  command  generates  the  BCMS System Status  Report. The bcms vdn 
    command generates the BCMS VDN Status Re port.
    Whenever a status report is displayed on the G3 Management Terminal, it is 
    updated automatically a p proximately every 30 seconds. You  can  immediately 
    update the on-screen status report by pressing 
    U PDAT E. To cancel  the monitor 
    command and return to the command prompt, press 
    CANCEL. If the status report 
    consists of more than one pa ge, press 
    NEXTPAGE to display any subsequent 
    p a ges and 
    PRE VPA G E to display any previous pages.
    If you incorrectly enter the c ommand, or if the q ualifier is not a p plicable or cannot 
    be measured, a d escriptive error message a p pears on the message line, located 
    on the b ottom of the screen. Usually, the error message desc riptions provide 
    enough information a bout the problem so that you will not need to research it. 
    However, if you require more information about the error message, press 
    HEL P. 
    Some examples of error messages are liste d below:
    n‘‘??’’ invalid report type for specified time or day
    n?? number of BCMS measured agents exceeds maximum
    nSplit not measured by BCMS 
    BCMS Split Status Report
    The BCMS Split Status Report provides the current (real-time) status and 
    cumulative measurement data for those agents assigned to the split you specify. 
    This report displays data accrued since the last interval boundary. For examp le, 
    if the interval is set for hourly, and you issue the command to display the BCMS 
    Split Status Report at 11:10 a.m., the report displays the data accrued since 
    11:00 a.m. Although this report is updated approximately every 30 seconds, you 
    can immediately u pdate the information on the screen b y pressing 
    UPDATE. At the 
    b e ginning of the next interval, the report resets. Screen 3-8 shows the BCMS 
    Split Status  Report.

    Split Name — The administered name of the split. This name usually describes 
    the purp ose or service of the split (for example, sales, service, or help line). If no 
    name exists, BCMS displays the sp lit extension (for example, EXT 65222).
    NOTE:
    The split name is limited to a maximum of 11 characters. If you enter more 
    than 11 c haracters, the a dd itional characters are not printed on the System 
    Printer.
    Calls Waiting 
    — The number of calls currently queued and calls ringing at an 
    agent’s phone. If any of the calls in the q ueue are Direct Agent calls, an asterisk 
    appears before the value in this field. The Glossary desc ribes the Direct Agent 
    feature.
    Oldest Call 
    — The number of minutes and seconds that the oldest call in queue 
    has been waiting to be answered. This includes calls ringing at an agent’s 
    phone.
    Acceptable Service Level 
    — The d esired time to answer for a given hunt group 
    or VDN. Timing for a call b e gins when the call enters the hunt group queue.
    % Within Service Level 
    — The percentage of calls answered within the 
    administered service level. This field is blank if no calls have been recorded for 
    this time interval or if there is no ‘‘Acceptable Service Level’’ administered on the 
    Hunt Group form.
    Staffed 
    — The numb er of agents currently logg e d into the split.
    Avail 
    — The num ber of agents in this split currently available to receive an ACD 
    call. In order to be counted as being available, agents must either be in the 
    Auto-In or Manual-In work mo de. Refer to the Glossary for a description of work 
    modes (or ACD work modes). If the agent is on another split’s call or is 
    performing After Call Work for another split, the agent is not considered available 
    and is not recorded here. If a call is ringing at the agent’s phone or a call is on 
    hold, the agent is not considered available unless Multiple Call Handling is 
    active and the agent selects AI/MI with a call on hold.
    ACD 
    — The numb er of agents who are currently on an ACD call for this split. 
    This value also includes Direct Agent calls and those agents who are currently on 
    ACD calls that flowed in from another split.
    ACW 
    — The number of agents in this split who are currently in ACW mode for 
    this split. Refer to the Glossary for a description of after call work (ACW) mode. If 
    an agent is in ACW mode for another split, the agent is included in the Other 
    state count for this split. Also, if an agent is on a call while in ACW mo de, the 
    agent appears in the Extn state count, and not in the ACW state.
    AUX 
    — The number of agents in this split who are currently in the AUX work 
    mode for this split. If an agent is answering a call from another sp lit or is in ACW 
    work mo de for another split, that agent is not considered in AUX work mo de for  
    						
    							Basic Call Management System (BCMS)

    3-235
    this split and is not included in this number. The a gent is included in the Other 
    state count.
    Extn 
    — The numb er of agents in this split who are currently on non-ACD calls. 
    These non-ACD calls may be either incoming (direct to the extension) or 
    outgoing (direct from the extension). Those a gents receiving or making extension 
    calls while in Avail, ACW, or AUX work mode is recorded as being on extension 
    calls.
    Other 
    — The numb er of agents in this sp lit who:
    nAre on a call from another split
    nAre in ACW work mode for another split
    nHave placed a call on HOLD and ma de no other state selections
    nHave a call ringing at their voice terminals
    nAre dialing a number (to place a call or activate a feature)
    All of the agents in the Other state are unavailable for ACD calls.
    AGENT 
    — The name of the agent. Generally, this is the agent’s first or last 
    name. However, if no name is administered on the station form, this field is left 
    blank. When the field is blank, the data can be identified by the extension.
    LOGIN ID 
    — The BCMS login ID(s) (taken from the BCMS Login ID form or EAS 
    Login form) for which you requested the report. This column does not appear if 
    BCMS logins are not optioned.
    EXT 
    — The 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5 - digit extension number for the agent.
    STATE 
    — The current work state for the a gent. Possible work states are Avail, 
    ACD, ACW, AUX, Extn, and Other. (The sum of the time the a gent spends in the 
    possible work states is the a gent’s ‘‘staffed’’ time.) Unstaffed agents do not 
    a p pear on the report. When the system time is changed, agents are in the INIT 
    state. Each agent remains in the INIT state until he or she takes a call or p ushes a 
    work button.
    NOTE:
    Refer to the Glossary for a description of the term work state.
    TIME 
    — The 24-hour clock time that the agent entered this work state.
    ACD CALLS 
    — The number of ACD calls that the a gent has comp leted since 
    the beginning of the current interval. This value includes any calls that flowed in 
    from other splits. (Calls in process are not counted until they are completed.)
    EXT IN CALLS 
    — The number of non-ACD calls that the agent has received 
    (incoming) since the beginning of the current interval. (Calls in process are not 
    counted until they are comp leted.) The maximum value is 255. 
    						
    							Feature Descriptions
    3-236Issue  3   March 1996 
    EXT OUT CALLS — The number of non-ACD calls that the agent has ma de 
    (outgoing) since the beginning of the current interval. (Calls in process are not 
    counted until they are comp leted.) The maximum value is 255.
    BCMS System Status Report
    The  BCMS System Status Report provides current (real-time) status information 
    for either all BCMS splits or selected BCMS sp lits. This report displays data 
    accrued since the last interval  boundary. For examp le, if the interval is set to 
    hour, and you issue the command to disp lay the BCMS System Status Report at 
    11:10 a.m., the report displays the data accrued since 11:00 a.m. Although this 
    report is updated approximately every 30 seconds, you can immediately up d ate 
    the information on the screen by pressing 
    UP DAT E. This report is reset at the 
    b e ginning of the time interval (for example, hour or half-hour). Screen 3-9 shows 
    the BCMS System Status Re port.
    NOTE:
    When analyzing this report, keep the following things in mind:
    nAll averages are for completed calls only.
    nA comp leted call may span more than one time interval. ACD calls 
    that are in process (have not terminated) are counted in the time 
    interval in which they terminate. For examp le, if an ACD call begins 
    in the 10:00 to 11:00 time interval, but terminates in the 11:00 to 
    12:00 time interval, the data for this call is counted in the 11:00 to 
    12:00 time interval.
    nAsterisks indicate that the maximum for the associated field has 
    been exceeded.
