 The three operations that can be performed within the Cisco Finesse IP Phone Agent (IPPA) are:

A. A supervisor can use Finesse IPPA to act as an agent and accept calls. This is true because Finesse IPPA does not support supervisor tasks such as monitor, barge, and intercept, but supervisors can sign in and perform all agent tasks on their IP Phones. To perform supervisor tasks for Finesse IPPA agents, supervisors must sign in to the Finesse desktop and follow the same steps that they use for the Finesse desktop agents1.

D. An agent using Finesse IPPA can enter Not Ready, Sign-out, and Wrap-up reasons. This is true because Finesse IPPA allows agents to change their state from Ready to Not Ready, sign out from the Finesse service, and apply wrap-up reasons after handling a call. Agents can select the appropriate reason codes from the list of available options on their IP Phones2.

E. Agents can log in to Finesse IPPA with Cisco Unified CCX deployed using a Standard license. This is true because Finesse IPPA is supported on all Cisco Unified CCX license packages, including Standard, Enhanced, and Premium. Agents can use Finesse IPPA regardless of the license package that is deployed on Cisco Unified CCX3.

The other options are not correct because:

B. An agent can sign in to Finesse IPPA and initiate call recording. This is false because Finesse IPPA does not support call recording. Agents cannot initiate, stop, or pause call recording from their IP Phones. Call recording is only supported on the Finesse desktop in the browser4.

C. A supervisor can sign in to Finesse IPPA and initiate call recording. This is false because Finesse IPPA does not support call recording. Supervisors cannot initiate, stop, or pause call recording from their IP Phones. Call recording is only supported on the Finesse desktop in the browser4.

 Cisco Unified CCX Standard license includes the database steps library, which allows the script to access and manipulate data from external databases using SQL queries. The database steps library can be used to create, update, delete, or query records from any JDBC-compliant database, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL. The database steps library can also be used to store session data, such as caller input or agent information, in a database table for later retrieval or reporting. The database steps library is useful for creating dynamic and personalized applications that can interact with external data sources.

The other options are incorrect because they are not included in the Cisco Unified CCX Standard license. The ICM steps library is only available with the Cisco Unified CCX Premium license, and it allows the script to integrate with the Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management (ICM) system for routing and reporting purposes. The email steps library is also only available with the Cisco Unified CCX Premium license, and it allows the script to send and receive email messages from customers or agents. The document steps library is available with the Cisco Unified CCX Enhanced or Premium licenses, and it allows the script to read and write documents from the local file system or a remote server using FTP or HTTP protocols. The document steps library can be used to store or retrieve data in XML, CSV, or plain text formats. References := Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Editor Step Reference Guide, Release 12.5(1) SU3, Chapter 2: Unified CCX Editor Step Reference, Database Steps, page 2-15.

Reactive debugging is a facility provided by the Cisco Unified CCX Editor that allows you to debug a Cisco Unified CCX script live with a real voice call. Reactive debugging enables you to step through the script execution and view the variable values and the call flow in real time. You can also set breakpoints and watchpoints to pause the script execution and inspect the variables. Reactive debugging is useful for troubleshooting and testing the script logic and functionality12

The server that cannot be configured during the installation phase when installing Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) on Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers is the SMTP server. The SMTP server is a server that enables the email functionality of UCCX, such as sending email notifications, alerts, and reports. The SMTP server cannot be configured during the installation phase, but it can be configured after the installation by using the Cisco Unified CCX Administration web interface12

The other options can be configured during the installation phase when installing UCCX on UCS servers:

Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) server: The CUCM server is a server that provides call control and device management for UCCX. The CUCM server can be configured during the installation phase by specifying the IP address or hostname, the username, and the password of the CUCM server. The CUCM server must be configured before the UCCX installation can proceed12

DNS server: The DNS server is a server that resolves hostnames to IP addresses and vice versa. The DNS server can be configured during the installation phase by specifying the IP address or hostname of the primary and secondary DNS servers. The DNS server is optional, but it is recommended to use it for easier management and troubleshooting12

NTP server: The NTP server is a server that synchronizes the time and date of UCCX with a reliable source. The NTP server can be configured during the installation phase by specifying the IP address or hostname of the primary and secondary NTP servers. The NTP server is mandatory, and the installation will fail if the UCCX server cannot reach the NTP server12

To convert a high availability over LAN deployment to high availability over WAN, you need to reinstall the second Cisco Unified CCX node and add it to the cluster over WAN. This is because the high availability over WAN deployment requires a different network configuration and a different license than the high availability over LAN deployment12

The high availability over WAN deployment allows you to have two Cisco Unified CCX nodes in different geographical locations, connected by a WAN link with a minimum bandwidth of 1.544 Mbps and a maximum round-trip delay of 80 ms. The high availability over WAN deployment provides disaster recovery and business continuity in case of a site failure12

The high availability over WAN deployment requires a “WAN Standby” license, which is different from the “Warm Standby” license used for the high availability over LAN deployment. The “WAN Standby” license enables the second Cisco Unified CCX node to operate in a partial service mode, which means that it can accept and process calls, but it cannot access the historical data or the configuration data from the primary node. The “Warm Standby” license enables the second Cisco Unified CCX node to operate in a full service mode, which means that it can access all the data and functions of the primary node12

To convert a high availability over LAN deployment to high availability over WAN, you need to follow these steps:

Backup the configuration and the historical data from the primary Cisco Unified CCX node2

Uninstall the second Cisco Unified CCX node from the cluster2

Reinstall the second Cisco Unified CCX node with the same software version and patch level as the primary node, but with a different IP address and hostname2

Apply the “WAN Standby” license to the second Cisco Unified CCX node2

Add the second Cisco Unified CCX node to the cluster over WAN by using the Cisco Unified CCX Administration web interface on the primary node2

Restore the configuration and the historical data to the second Cisco Unified CCX node2

Verify the high availability status and the data synchronization between the two nodes2

 The two releases that require physical media to be ordered and received prior to patching or upgrading Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) are the major release and the service update. A major release is a new version of UCCX that introduces significant changes and new features. A service update is a maintenance release that fixes bugs and enhances the functionality of UCCX. Both the major release and the service update are available as ISO images that can be downloaded from the Cisco website or ordered as physical DVDs12

The other options do not require physical media to be ordered and received prior to patching or upgrading UCCX:

Minor release: A minor release is a new version of UCCX that has minor changes and enhancements. A minor release is available as a COP file that can be downloaded from the Cisco website and applied to the UCCX system using the CLI or the web interface12

Engineering special: An engineering special is a patch that addresses a specific issue or customer request. An engineering special is available as a COP file that can be downloaded from the Cisco website and applied to the UCCX system using the CLI or the web interface12

A Contact Service Queue (CSQ) is a logical grouping of agents that share similar skills and can handle similar types of contacts. A CSQ is defined by three main fields: the Resource Selection Criteria, the Service Level, and the Overflow CSQ. The Resource Selection Criteria determines how the system selects the most appropriate agent for each contact based on the agent’s competency level and availability. The Service Level defines the percentage of contacts that should be answered within a specified time threshold. The Overflow CSQ specifies another CSQ to which the contacts are redirected when the current CSQ reaches its maximum capacity or when the contacts wait in the queue for too long. These three fields are essential for defining a CSQ in Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Enhanced. The other fields, such as Agent Name, Automatic Work, and CCX Application, are not used in defining a CSQ, but rather in configuring other aspects of the system, such as agent settings, workflow groups, and scripts. References: Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Design Guide, Release 11.0 (1), [Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Administration Guide, Release 11.0 (1)]

According to the Cisco Finesse Administration Guide, Release 12.0 (1), Finesse supports the following number of phone books:

10 global phone books

300 team phone books The system supports a total of 50,000 contacts. The total number of contacts per agent across all phone books is limited to 15001. This means that an agent can access up to 1500 contacts from the phone books that are assigned to them. If an agent has more than 1500 contacts, only the first 1500 will be loaded and displayed on the Finesse out of the box phone book gadget2. If a custom gadget is built using the Finesse API, it can show all the contacts by using the range feature of the API and grabbing 1500 increments3. References:

The security password is used as the secret key during the second node installation of Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX). This password is entered during the first node installation and must be the same for all nodes in the cluster. The security password is used to encrypt sensitive data in the database and to authenticate communication between nodes. If the security password is not the same for all nodes, the installation will fail and the cluster will not function properly. References: Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Install and Upgrade Guide, Release 12.5 (1) - Unified CCX Installation, Free Cisco Deploying Unified Contact Center Express (UCCXD) v6.0 Certification Sample Questions and Answers

 CTI route points are virtual devices that can receive multiple, simultaneous calls for application-controlled redirection. They are added or configured for Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) in the Cisco Unified CallManager Device Configuration. This allows UCCX to integrate with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and use the CTI route points as triggers for UCCX scripts. The CTI route points must be associated with the UCCX application user in CUCM and have the correct partition and calling search space settings. References: CiscoUnified Contact Center Express Getting Started with Scripts, Release 12.5(1) - Configuring Unified CCX Triggers, Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Design Guide, Release 10.0(1) - Deployment Models, CTI Port and CTI Route Point - Cisco Community
