The Cisco Unified Communications Sizing Tool is a web-based application that helps customers and partners accurately size Cisco Unified Communications hardware, software, and services. The tool can be used to size Cisco Unified CCX by selecting the product family, the deployment model, the reference design, the call volume, the agent count, the features, and the hardware specifications.  The tool then generates a report that shows the recommended hardware configuration, the software licenses, the power consumption, the rack space, and the bill of materials for the Cisco Unified CCX solution 1 ,  2  References:  Solution Design Guide for Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, Release 11.5 (1) ,  Cisco Sizing tools - Cisco Community

 The application username is not an input that is required when you install Cisco Unified CCX. The application username is the username that you use to log in to the Cisco Unified CCX Administration web interface after the installation is complete. You can configure the application username during the initial system setup, which is a separate step from the installation. The other inputs, such as the platform administrator username, the IP address, the default language, and the time zone, are required during the installation process. You need to enter these inputs to configure the basic system parameters and network settings for the Unified CCX server. References :=  Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Install and Upgrade Guide, Release 12.5(1) SU2 ,  Deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCXD) v6.0 Course Outline

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 functionality 1 2

The Cisco Unified Communications Sizing Tool is a web-based tool that helps system engineers to size Cisco Unified Communications solutions, including Cisco Unified CCX. The tool can validate various parameters and requirements for a Cisco Unified CCX deployment configuration, such as the number of agents, supervisors, IVR ports, outbound ports, chat sessions, email sessions, and reporting users. However, the tool cannot validate the following options:

The number of silent-monitoring and remote-monitoring sessions. Silent monitoring and remote monitoring are features that allow supervisors to listen to the agent’s calls without being heard by the agent or the caller. The tool does not support sizing for these features, as they depend on the network bandwidth and the codec used for the calls. The tool only provides a formula to estimate the bandwidth requirement for silent monitoring and remote monitoring, based on the number of sessions, the codec, and the packet size. The formula is: Bandwidth (kbps) = Number of sessions x Codec bit rate x (1 + Network overhead).  For example, if there are 10 silent-monitoring sessions using G.711 codec with a bit rate of 64 kbps and a network overhead of 20%, the bandwidth requirement is: Bandwidth (kbps) = 10 x 64 x (1 + 0.2) = 768 kbps 1 .

The number of historical reporting sessions. Historical reporting is a feature that allows users to generate reports on the historical data of the Cisco Unified CCX system, such as agent performance, call statistics, and queue summary. The tool does not support sizing for this feature, as it depends on the number of reporting users, the frequency and complexity of the reports, and the database size.  The tool only provides some guidelines and best practices for historical reporting, such as limiting the number of concurrent reporting users to 10, scheduling the reports during off-peak hours, and purging the historical data regularly 2 .

The number of ASR and TTS ports. ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) and TTS (Text-To-Speech) are features that enable voice interaction between the callers and the IVR system, using speech recognition and synthesis technologies. The tool does not support sizing for these features, as they are provided by third-party vendors, such as Nuance or LumenVox.  The tool only provides some recommendations and considerations for ASR and TTS integration, such as using MRCPv2 protocol, allocating enough CPU and memory resources, and configuring the network QoS policies 3 .

 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 agents 1 .

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 Phones 2 .

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 CCX 3 .

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 browser 4 .

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 browser 4 .

According to the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 12.5 Data Sheet 1 , the maximum number of concurrent chat agents supported by Cisco Unified CCX is 70, regardless of the number of licensed seats. This means that if 70 agents log in as chat agents via an independent browser, they will consume 70 chat agent seats out of the 120 agent seats licensed for the Cisco Unified CCX deployment. The remaining 50 agent seats can be used for voice agents who log in via Cisco Agent Desktop. Therefore, the answer is A. 50.  References  :=  Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 12.5 Data Sheet , page 4.

According to the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Design Guide, Release 8.0(1), the maximum number of CTI ports that can be supported by a Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 8.0 Standard deployment is 300. This is the same as the maximum number of IVR ports that can be supported by the Standard deployment. The CTI ports are used to route calls to agents or to play prompts and collect caller input. The number of CTI ports depends on the number of concurrent calls that the system needs to handle and the call flow design. The Standard deployment supports up to 150 agents and 300 IVR ports or CTI ports. References :=  Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Design Guide, Release 8.0(1) , page 2-7.

When Cisco Unified CCX is deployed with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CME), the user management is done through the Application Administration web interface of Cisco Unified CCX. The user data, such as user ID, password, PIN, and roles, are stored in the Cisco Unified CCX database. The user synchronization between Cisco Unified CME and Cisco Unified CCX is done manually by using the Data Synchronization option in the Tools menu of the Application Administration web interface. The user data is not stored in the Cisco Unified CME database, nor is it managed by Cisco Unified CME. References:
