Call Routing

ACME has a server application that routes all calls to the call center based on the number called, the availability of agents and other criteria. The extension of the incoming calls are 7700 (seeds) and 7710 (tools).

The user in this case is the routing application (Routing App), not a person. The routing application logs in to the TSAPI Service just as a person would and has the same types of privileges. When the routing application begins, it sends a routing registration request to Communication Manager, requesting that incoming calls to extensions 7700 and 7710 be directed to it (the routing application). When the routing application determines which agent should get the call, it tells Communication Manager where to connect the call.

The routing application must be given routing permissions for devices 7700 and 7710. Notice that the user, Routing App, has no associated worktop.
