Nortel Norstar Meridian CallPilot
This guide leads a Call Center Administrator through setting up and operating Basic Call Center
on a CallPilot 150 system. You can program Basic Call Center using any two-line display Nortel Norstar Meridian CallPilot
telephone on your telephone system. You can also use the web-based CallPilot Manager to set up
and operate Basic Call Center.
Call Center is an application that handles incoming calls as efficiently and economically as
possible. Call Center answers calls, then routes the calls to agents in a skillset that most closely
matches the needs of the caller. Calls can be routed based on the origin of the call, the destination
of the call, or the information entered by the caller. Callers can be given high or low priorities.
Callers can overflow to different groups or skillsets of agents, transfer out of the system, leave a
message, and hear announcements and informative messages.
For information about Basic and Professional Call Center and Call Center features, refer to the
Call Center Set Up and Operation Guide.

About Call Center telephone administration
Setting up Basic Call Center with a two line display telephone
You cannot use a single line display telephone to set up and administer Basic Call Center. You
must use a two line display telephone. Two line display telephones show Call Center commands
and options. A two line display can show up to three display options at once. In some instances, an
option does not have a corresponding display button, and you must select the option by pressing
buttons on the diapad.
An example of a two line display
System timeout
If you pause longer than 2 minutes (120 seconds) when you program Call Center on a two line
display telephone, the system times out and ends the session. This is a safety feature that prevents
unauthorized use of the system.
For example, if the system times out before you enter all the settings for a skillset, you must use
the procedures in “Changing skillset properties” on page 41 to finish setting up the skillset.

To enter a character press the dialpad button that represents the letter or number. Press the
button again to see the next letter or number.
To accept a character press £ or press another button. When you press another button, the
cursor advances and the display shows the first character on the new

prompt is not shown on the display after you enter the entire name.

pertain to the type of telephone you use.
You can enter ≤, ƒ or ƒ and the code to use a feature. For example, press
≤·°⁄ to access your mailbox.
The T7100 works differently from other telephones on your system because it does not have line
buttons. Where other telephones require that you select a line button to answer a call, on the T7100
terminal you pick up the handset. Where other telephones require you to select a line button to take
a call off hold, you press ˙ on the T7100 terminal.
On T7100 terminals, you can answer a second call by pressing ˙. Your active call is put on
hold and you connect to the waiting call. You can have no more than two active calls at one time.

Setting Call Center general properties
When you set up Call Center you must assign values for the general properties. The general Call
Center properties are:
Primary and Secondary alert times
Alert times are time limits for calls waiting in skillsets. The Secondary alert time must be greater
than the Primary alert time. You can have Primary and Secondary alerts for all the calls in the call
center, or for just the calls waiting in skillsets that you are logged on to. Nortel Norstar Meridian CallPilot
If a call exceeds the Primary alert time:
• a memory button indicator programmed with Display Waiting Calls (≤·‚·) flashes
slowly. ≤·‚· flashes based on the status of all the calls in the call center.
• a memory button indicator programmed with Agent Login (≤·‚›) flashes slowly.
≤·‚› flashes based on the status of the calls for the skillsets an agent is logged on to.
If a call exceeds the Secondary alert time:
• a memory button indicator programmed with Display Waiting Calls (≤·‚·) flashes
quickly. ≤·‚· flashes based on the status of all the calls in the call center.
• a memory button indicator programmed with Agent Login (≤·‚›) flashes quickly.
≤·‚› flashes based on the status of the calls for the skillsets an agent is logged on to.
A slowly flashing indicator alerts you that a call has exceeded the Primary alert time. A quickly
flashing indicator alerts you that a call has exceeded the Secondary alert time. The indicator stops
flashing when the calls are handled.
You assign alert times in minutes and seconds. There is no default value for alert times.
For how to program a memory button, refer to “Programming a memory button with a Feature
Code” on page 15.
Note: Agents do not have to be logged on to see the Display Waiting Calls memory
button flashing. A memory button must be programmed with the Display Waiting Calls
Feature Code and the Primary alert time must be set up for the memory button to show
waiting calls status.

Reserved channels
Reserved channels are voice channels that are reserved for use by Call Center. If you reserve
channels for Call Center, you ensure that callers are played skillset announcements, and CallPilot
does not use all of the voice channels.
A reserved channel is used when:
• a Call Center greeting plays to a caller
• Off-premise Message Notification notifies you that there is a message in a skillset mailbox

Configuring lines
Before Call Center can answer an incoming line, you must assign the line to be answered by a Call
Center skillset. You can configure a maximum of 15 lines for Basic Call Center. The line numbers
can be any line number from 1 to 500.
For each line that you want Call Center to answer, you assign:
• the line to be answered by Call Center
• the skillset that calls on this line go to
• the number of rings before the line is answered
You can record your line answering information in the table “Line answering” on page 142.
You must disable a skillset and wait until there are no calls in the skillset before you can add lines
to it. You cannot add lines to a skillset while it is in use. For how to disable a skillset refer to
“Disabling a skillset” on page 40.
Lines that are programmed to be answered by Call Center must not be programmed to be answered
by another peripheral or application.
To delay calls being answered, you can assign Call Center to answer incoming calls after a
specified number of rings. The number of rings ranges from zero to 12. If the number of rings is
zero, Call Center answers immediately.
For analog lines equipped with Caller ID, you must set the number of rings to two or more. Caller
ID information is not provided until just prior to the second ring, so if you set the number of rings
to zero or one, Caller ID information is not relayed.
Long distance charges start when a call is answered by Call Center. To minimize long distance
charges, set the ring count higher than 0 so that calls spend more waiting time in a ringing state.
Note: Target lines that are assigned to a B2 skillset cannot have their prime extension
programmed as the Control DN of the skillset. This is restricted by the software. The
recommended setting for these lines is blank.
For information on how to program the prime extension, refer to the Norstar System
Coordinator Guide.

Call Center greetings
About Call Center greetings
Call Center greetings encourage callers to stay on the line until an agent is available. You can
record greetings in different languages and change them as often as you like. You can record a
maximum of 10 Call Center greetings.
You can include information in your greetings such as:
• your hours of service
• a request for callers to have their account number ready
• how to leave a message
• an announcement of a sale
• product lists
• upcoming special events
Types of Call Center greetings
You can record different types of greetings for Call Center. Before you record your greeting,
determine what information the greeting includes. When you prepare your greeting, include
important times and dates. Keep greetings as short and concise as possible. Use the following
examples of greetings as a reference.
General company greeting The general company greeting tells callers they have reached the correct
company. It can also include the location and business hours of your
company.
“Thank you for calling Bridgestone Computers. We are located at 52 Main
Street. Our hours of service are Monday to Friday from 8:00 until 5:00.
Please stay on the line and an agent will be with you as soon as possible.
Or press 0 to leave a message and one of our agents will return your call.”
Please wait greeting Please wait greetings encourage callers to stay on the line.
“All our agents at Bridgestone Computers are currently busy, but please
hold as your call is very important to us.“
Information greeting An information greeting provides messages and announcements to callers.
“Thank you for calling Bridgestone Computers. This week we have
extended our hours until we sell all spring merchandise. We will be open
until 9:00 pm Monday through Thursday, and we will be open until midnight
on Friday! Please come in and see us at 52 Main Street.”

Setting up skillsets
About skillsets
Call Center skillsets answer and distribute calls to agents as they become available. Skillsets hold
calls for different call center departments, such as sales and technical support.
You can have a maximum of two skillsets for Basic Call Center.
You cannot change the properties of a skillset while it is enabled. You must disable the skillset. If
you want to change the CDN, disable the skillset and wait until there are no calls in the skillset
before you change the CDN.
How incoming calls are sent to a skillset
Incoming calls are sent to a skillset in one of the following ways:
• You assign a line to be answered directly by a skillset. For information about configuring lines
refer to “Configuring lines” on page 23.
• A receptionist, agent or subscriber receives a call and transfers the call to a skillset.
They can transfer the call to a skillset by pressing ≤‡‚ or TRANSFER and entering the
CDN of the skillset. The receptionist, agent or subscriber must not use the Call Pickup feature.
• The Automated Attendant or a CCR Tree answers the call and the caller makes a selection that
routes them to the CDN of the skillset.
• Calls can be forwarded to the Voicemail extension of the skillset by Call Forward All Calls
(CFAC), Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) or Call Forward On Busy (CFB). For information
about these features, refer to the Norstar System Coordinator Guide.
Note: Agents are restricted in how they can use CFAC, CFNA and CFB. For more
information refer to “Features that logged on agents must not use” on page 132.
34 Chapter 5 Setting up skillsets
P0945709 03
Skillset properties
Skillset The number, either 1 or 2, that is assigned to the skillset.
Control DN The Control Directory Number is the extension associated with the skillset.
Incoming calls transfer to the CDN of each skillset from extensions, the
Automated Attendant or Custom Call Routing. The CDN is the skillset
mailbox number.
When you assign a CDN to a skillset:
• It can be a B1 extension number that is not connected to any telephone
or peripheral.
• It can be a B2 extension that is not connected to a B2 application.
• If a telephone or any other device uses the same extension the call
center will not answer calls.
• The range of B1 and B2 extensions can be determined by using the
Unified Manager. The DNs do not have to be physically equipped with a
Media Bay Module.
• The system assigns a skillset mailbox that uses the CDN as its mailbox
number. You must initialize the mailbox before you can use the skillset
or the mailbox.
• Do not rename a telephone DN to a telephone DN used by Call Center.
• It is possible for i2004 devices to be assigned to the DN used by Call
Center. The user does not receive an error message if this happens,
even though i2004 devices usually warn a user if there are conflicting
telephone DNs. Therefore, it is imperative that the i2004 programming
record contains a list of CDNs used by Call Center.
Limitations for B1 and B2 extensions:
• A B1 extension number is the extension number that you dial to call a
telephone or peripheral. A B2 extension is a spare extension that exists
with every telephone but is generally not used. Some peripherals use a
B2.
• Both B1 and B2 extensions can answer external calls.
• Both B1 and B2 extensions can have external calls transferred to them
by a third person.
• B1 extensions allow a set to be CFB or CFNA to them. B2 extensions
do not support CFB or CFNA. Therefore a skillset that uses a B2 CDN
cannot have calls forwarded to it from telephone programming.
• B2 CDNs cannot be used as a prime set for target lines.
• Since assigning CDNs does not require additional hardware, we
recommend using B1 CDNs over B2 CDNs. B1 CDNs have better
functionality than B2 CDNs.
Name The skillset name is displayed:
• on Call Center displays to identify the skillset
• in reports
• as the skillset mailbox name
The skillset name can be a maximum of 16 characters. If you do not enter a
name, the skillset name defaults to SKILLx where x is the skillset number.
The name for each skillset is the same as the skillset mailbox name.
Chapter 5 Setting up skillsets 35
CallPilot 150 Basic Call Center Telephone Administration Guide
MWI ext
(Message Waiting Indication
extension)
The Message Waiting Indication extension is an optional telephone number
that indicates that a skillset mailbox has messages waiting. The MWI
extension that you assign shows Message for you on the telephone display
when there are new messages in the skillset mailbox. The MWI DN defaults
to None. If you forget the MWI extensions for a skillset mailbox, you can
view the MWI extensions by using the procedure “Determining a skillset
mailbox number” on page 46.
Method of Call Distribution The method of call distribution determines to which of several available
agents to route the call. There are two methods of call distribution: Longest
Idle and Preferred. Longest Idle routes the call to the agent who has been
available the longest. Preferred routes the call to the agent with the highest
priority (best qualified agent is 1). If there are several agents with the
highest priority, the agent available longest with that priority is selected. The
default method of call distribution is Longest Idle.
Overflow If you enter a time for overflow, a call overflows to the other skillset if the
overflow time you set elapses. The default overflow time is 00:00, which
means that calls overflow to the skillset mailbox if there are no agents
logged on. The maximum overflow time is 59:59.
Break Time Break Time is a time period for agents to complete paperwork after they
finish a call. After an agent completes a call, they are taken out of the
skillset for the Break Time. The agent can extend or cancel the Break Time
by using the Not Ready Feature Code. For more information, refer to “Not
Ready” on page 16. The Break Time period can last from zero to 59
minutes, 59 seconds. The Break Time defaults to 30 seconds. You can
change the Break Time period to zero if an agent does not need a Break
Time.
Delay Answer Delay Answer is a toll-saving feature that prevents Call Center from
answering calls and playing greetings when there are no agents available.
When a call comes in on a line belonging to a skillset that has no free
agents, the call is not answered until either the Delay Answer time elapses
or an agent becomes available, whichever happens first. During the Delay
Answer time, the waiting callers hear ringback.
To activate the Delay Answer feature, enter a time for Delay Answer. The
Delay Answer time can be a minimum of zero seconds and a maximum of
10 minutes. The default Delay Answer time is 00:00.
Attendant extension The attendant extension is the extension used if a caller presses the
Operator key during a greeting step, a transfer step, or while listening to a
mailbox greeting. The attendant extension is optional. If you do not assign
an attendant extension, the call is sent to the system attendant extension.
Language preference Language preference can be either Primary or Alternate. The language
preference is the language choice used for prompting callers who transfer
to the Automated Attendant or CCR. You can choose a language
preference only if your system is configured as bilingual.

About skillset mailboxes
Each skillset has a mailbox that stores messages left by callers. A skillset mailbox is created
automatically when you set up a skillset. There is one skillset mailbox for each skillset. The
skillset mailbox number is the same as the Control Directory Number (CDN) of the skillset.
Skillset mailboxes have these Class of Service settings:
• use the primary prompt language
• maximum message time is 15 minutes
• maximum message length is three minutes
• maximum message retention is 30 days
• maximum greeting length of one minute
• Off-premise message notification enabled with a retry interval of five minutes and three
attempts
• Outbound Transfer is enabled
• maximum number of incorrect password attempts is nine
• password expires in 90 days
• Networking is enabled if you have the Message Networking option enabled
• Personal Target Attendant is enabled
• Record Call is not enabled
• prompt language is Primary
• user interface is Norstar Voice Mail
The default Class of Service for skillset mailboxes is 1.
To prepare a skillset mailbox to receive messages:
• Know the skillset mailbox number (CDN) of each skillset mailbox.
If you do not know the skillset mailbox number, refer to “Determining a skillset mailbox
number” on page 46
• Initialize the skillset mailbox. Refer to “Initializing a skillset mailbox” on page 48.
• Record the skillset mailbox greetings. Refer to “Recording skillset mailbox greetings” on page
