  • Install Network Monitor Tools, Simple Network Management Protocol, WMI SNMP Probe Provider, and WMI Windows Installer Provider

CVP Call Server, Operation Console and Media Server Installation

In our laboratory deployment, CVP Call Server, Operation Console and Media Server are collocated on the same machine.

Follow the screen shots below to complete the installation

  • Select the options that you want to install

  • Enable the services automatically after the installation is done

CVP Component Configuration

There are several components that needs to be configured before CVP can operate properly. They are

  • CVP Medial Server Configuration
  • CVP Call Server Configuration

This document is not including CUPS (For SIP Proxy functionality), TTS and VXML Server.

CVP Media Server Configuration

This setup used Microsoft IIS as the web server to host the media files.

  1. Enable read permission to the directory where .wav files are saved.
  2. Make sure anynymous access is enabled and the built-in IIS User is assigned.

CVP Call Server Configuration

Before configuring CVP call server, it should be important to know little bit about the setup and SIP call flows. In this setup since we are not using CUPS, we will use Call Flow Model#1. Notice that these call flows are valid for Type 10 VRU only. Also notice that cid is actually correlation id that is a numerical value.

Call Flow Model#1 without CUPS

 

PSTN Originated Calls

CUCCE Pilot Number Caller dials 541-764-1400 from PSTN

Processing at Ingress GW Ingress gateway sends this call to CVP Call Server

Processing at CVP CVP will send the call to CUICM via a static SIP route as a new route request

Routing Client CVP is the routing client

Label Returned to CVP by CUICM 541-764-1401+cid

Processing at CVP CVP Call Server sends this label 541-764-1401+cid to VXML-GW
Processing at VXML-GW VXML-GW has an incoming dial-peer configured that invokes the bootstrap tcl service. Now a sequence of VXML communications happen between the VXML GW and CVP IVR Service
This communication happens via MicroAppas.
Processing at CVP At this point CVP sends the same label 541-764-1401+cid to CUICM
Processing at CUICM If agent is available then CUICM sends a new label which is basically the Agent’s IP Phone extension to CVP to informs thatVXML-GW resources are engaged
Processing at CVP CVP has a static SIP route configured that would send call to agent’s ip phone

CUCM Originated Calls

CUCCE Pilot Number IP Phone caller dials CTI route point number 541-764-3000
Routing Client CUCM is the routing client
Label Returned to CUCM by CUICM 541-764-1402+cid
Processing at CUCM CUCM receives ths label and send the call to CVP Call Server
Processing at CVP CVP receives this label and send it to CUICM as a new route-request.
Routing Client Notice that now CVP is the routing-client and controls the Call States. CUCM is out from the picture.
Processing at CUICM CUICM receives its own generated label again and knows that loop is complete. And then generates a new label 541-764-1401+cid and sends to CVP

Processing at CVP Call Server send this label 541-764-1401+cid to VXML-GW

Processing at VXML-GW VXML-GW has an incoming dial-peer configured that basically invokes the bootstrap tcl service
Now a sequence of VXML communications happen between the VXML GW and CVP IVR Service.
This communication is called MicroAppas.

Processing at CVP At this point CVP sends the same label 541-764-1401+cid to CUICM to inform thatVXML-GW resources are engaged
So once you understand the high level overview of the call flow, it will be easy to understand the static routes that needs to be added to CVP Call Server.

VXML and Ingress Gateway Configuration

In this setup, same router is used as an ingress as well as VXML gateway. Notice that due to VXML compatibility issues, all Cisco IOS versions are not approved. In this lab setup c3725-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T1.bin is used.

Copy following files to VXML Gateway flash memory

CVP VXML Server

Untill this point we have configured CUICM and CVP in generatl. There is another component called VXML Server that play vital role in the solution, although not required.

Few things to remember

CVP VXMl Server
  • Voice Browser is also called VXML browser
  • VXML browser is basically the Cisco IOS VXML Gateway
  • VXML gateway browser pages from CVP VXML server (Like FireFox browser browse web pages from an Apache web server)
  • Every communication process between the VXML browser and Voice Application has to be initiated by the VXML browser as a request to the VXML server.
