Troubleshooting Agent Greeting Page 25 of 36 Troubleshooting Agent Greeting Network Interfaces Agent Greeting generates network traffic for the following reasons: • Multicast traffic from server card for auto-discovery of clients (one packet every 15 seconds during discovery sequence, one packet per minute during normal operation.
Page 26 of 36 Troubleshooting Agent Greeting Greetings not being played Agent Greeting plays a single agent recorded greeting in MAX/ACD environments and skillset specific greetings in Symposium environments. In a MAX/ACD environment the Agent’s Login ID is used to identify the Agent involved in each specific call.
Troubleshooting Agent Greeting Page 27 of 36 Messaging from the Meridian will then be displayed. This will include the display messages showing the Agent’s ID and top line of the Agent’s display. These can then be manually matched to what has been entered in the BUI. Ensure that this debugging is disabled before leaving the command line, as there is a severe realtime penalty in providing this information, which may cause greetings not to be played.
Page 28 of 36 Troubleshooting Agent Greeting Multi-Card operation across routers Changing Multi-cast parameters Agent Greeting multicast packets have their TTL (Time To Live) values set to 1 by default. This ensures that the multicast traffic from Agent Greeting is contained within a single subnet.
Troubleshooting Agent Greeting Page 29 of 36 • after a Restore (recommended, but no message is displayed because the Browser User Interface does not know when a Client’s Restore operation is finished). In case of Restore operation you must wait 2 hours per card for the operation to complete.
