Product Administration

To access the Imagicle Manager Assistant administration web portal is enough to point to http(s)://<IP_ADDRESS>, where <IP_ADDRESS> is the IP configured during the VM's deployment.
Default credentials are:

• user: admin
• password: admin

Configuration of the integration with the CUCM

Before adding managers and assistants, it is mandatory to configure the integration between Imagicle Manager Assistant and the CUCM. Please, follow the steps below.

First of all, we have to configure Imagicle Manager Assistant in order to trust all the CUCM cluster nodes it has to deal with:

click on Call Routing ⇒ Trusted Entities and then on the "+" button to add a new entity (an entity is a single CUCM node)

For each entity/CUCM node, configure the following parameters (leave the other ones with the default value):

• IP Address: set the IP address of the CUCM node (or the IP of the default GW of the subnetwork*)
• IP Netmask: set 32 to trust only the configure IP Address or another value to trust the subnetwork*
• Port: set 0. It is the allowed source port (0 allows all ports from the CUCM node)
• Protocol: set Any. It is the transport protocol used by the CUCM node (TCP and UDP are also supported)
• Pattern: set ^sip:.*$. This is the Regex expression which allows any SIP protocol request
• Domain: just leave the proposed value, that is the configured domain (e.g., imagicle.com)

then click on Create

You have to repeat above procedure for each CUCM node running the Call Manager service.

* NOTE: if all nodes belong to the same network, it is possible to trust the whole subnetwork, in that way you have to add only one entity: set the IP Address with the IP of the default gateway for the subnetwork and then set the IP Netmask with the proper value (e.g., if IP Address=10.10.10.1, you can set IP Netmask=24 to trust the whole subnetwork 10.10.10.X).

Next step is the Gateways configuration, so click on Call Routing --> Gateways and then on the "+" button to add a new gateway

For each entity, configure the following parameters (leave the other ones with the default value):

• General Information
  • ​Address: it is the IP address of the CUCM node where the SIP Trunk terminates
  • Port: set 5060. It is the port of the CUCM node where the SIP Trunk terminates
  • Description: it is just a label to describe this gateway
• Dialplan Information
  • Default Inc. Domain: set the domain you have configured (e.g., imagicle.com)
  • Domain: set the domain you have configured (e.g., imagicle.com)
• Codecs: it is the list of allowed codecs. It depends on the supported codecs by the CUCM. The order they are added matters*
• Options
  • Overwrite Caller ID: set disabled
  • Trunk 2 Trunk: set enabled
  • Probe this Gateway: set enabled only if the remote gateway supports SIP OPTIONS messages and you want to manage failover scenarios. Otherwise, leave set disabled
  • Purging Customer Headers: set enabled
• Transport: UDP

then click on Create

* NOTE: Imagicle Manager Assistant has not Media Termination Point feature. If configured codecs are not negotiated by the remote party, the call is ended.

Next step is the configuration of a dial plan to route calls to Managers and Assistants users. So click on Call Routing ⇒ Dialplan and then on the "+" button to add a new dial plan

Configure the following parameters (leave the other ones with the default value):

• Target
  • ​Target: it is the gateway configured in the step above (e.g., CUCM)
  • Description: it is just a label to identify this dialplan (e.g., Outbound Rule Match)
• Match Expression
  • Match: set ^.*. This is a wildcard to match any number
  • Based On: set callee. 

then click on Create

after that, click on Save to apply all the changes

At this point, we have completed the integration between Imagicle Manager Assistant and the CUCM(s). Next step is the configuration of managers and assistants.

Adding a new Manager

In order to add a new manager, some configurations are required. Please, follow the steps below.

Subscribers List

For each manager, you have to add a new subscriber, so click on Subscribers ⇒ Subscribers List and then on the "+" button to add a new subscriber

• Display Label: it is the manager's display name (e.g., Bob Smith)

then click on Create

Edit newly created Subscriber, select "Forwards" tab and enter the following data:

• Voicemail forward: Check relevant flag and enter Manager's voice mail number 
• SD/BLF Forward Activated: Check relevant flag and enter an Auto Attendant or Queue number to play an announcement for IMA filter enabled (optional).
• SD/BLF Forward Deactivated: Check relevant flag and enter an Auto Attendant or Queue number to play an announcement for IMA filter disabled (optional).

Please repeat above procedure for each Manager.

Manager's Contact

Next steps allows to assign "Manager" role to each Subscriber.

Click on Address Book --> Contacts and then on the "+" button to add a new contact

configure the following parameters (leave the other ones with the default value):

Manager/Assistant Service Creation

Now you have to create the Manager/Assistant service, so click on Services --> Manager / Assistant and then on the "+" button to add a new service

configure the following parameters:

• Manager Line: set the manager's number associated to this service
• Description: it is just a label to describe this service (e.g., Imagicle Manager Assistant)
• Service Domain: set the domain this service belongs to (e.g., imagicle.com)
• Policy: it is the calls distribution algorithm for the assistants:
  • linear: assistants' phones will sequentially dialed with the same order they have been configured
  • random: assistants' phones will randomly dialed
  • parallel: all assistants' phones will ring at same time
• Cyclic: if enabled and linear policy is selected, the distribution algorithm starts again from the first assistant when it reaches the last one
• Always Skip Assistants: Keep this flag unchecked to leverage Imagicle Manager Assistant filter. See Manager Assistant User Guide for more details
• Skip User After (sec): this parameter appears when selecting "linear" or "random" policy. The maximum duration (in seconds) of the consultation transfer to assistants. When this time value has been exceeded, Imagicle Manager Assistant retrieves the call and tries to engage the next assistant
• Drop call after (sec): this parameter appears when selecting "parallel" policy. No answer timeout for assistants.
• Skip Assistants on Busy: if enabled, calls are transferred to the manager if all assistants are busy

then click on Create. 

Once you clicked on Create, below popup will show up, it is just a reminder to add assistants. Just click on Confirm:

Please create a Manager/Assistant Service for each configured Manager.
