  • Page 27: Chapter 2: Overview Of Meridian Link

    Chapter 2: Overview of Meridian Link Meridian Link is an application that allows a Meridian 1 system to exchange information with a host computer so that users can integrate the capabilities of both into a business application. An order desk clerk, for example, can see information about an incoming call (for example, the callerÕs name, address, and calling history) on a computer screen while the telephone is still ringing.

The existing SFN Login message has been enhanced to provide an optional four-digit Agent ID at the time of logging, enabling the agent to log in at different positions.

  • Page 34: Meridian Mail Link

    Chapter 2: Overview of Meridian Link Note: When setting up a redundant Meridian Link, two communication paths must be set up to two separate Meridian Link modules. This may involve two X.25 ports or two TCP/IP addresses. Meridian Mail Link The MML is an optional asynchronous link that connects the IPE Module or Application Module to a Meridian Mail system running software version MM8 (or later) with the Access Enable option.

    346 Chapter 12: Meridian 1 configuration for Meridian Link/CCR Configure Control DNs (CCR) A Control DN (CDN) is a specialized ACD queue that has no agents. One CDN is required for each CCR script. A CDN in controlled mode offers control of calls to applications. A CDN when not in controlled mode is essentially the same as a CDN used in Enhanced ACD Routing (EAR), so the CDN/EAR parameters should be programmed in the same way other EAR CDNs are programmed at that site.
