The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Operations Console

Operations Console is one of the Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP) components and a web-based interface using which you can configure other Unified CVP components and devices in the Unified CVP solution. Use Operations Console to perform the following tasks:

• Monitor and manage the Unified CVP components and additional components that make Unified CVP a solution.
• Manage component configurations.
• Distribute Call Studio applications to Unified CVP VXML Servers.
• Perform Reporting database administration.
• Deploy licenses to the CVP devices.

Operations Console provides access to the following operations:

• Health Monitoring: Use any SNMP-standard monitoring tool to get a detailed visual and tabular representation of the health of the solution network. All the Unified CVP product components and most Unified CVP solution components also issue SNMP traps and statistics that can be delivered to any standard SNMP management station or monitoring tool.
• Direct administration of individual IOS-based components: Administrators can select an individual gateway for direct administration using secure shell (ssh). Configurations that are modified using secure shell, or by accessing those components directly without using the Operations Server, can be uploaded to the Operations Server backup for later use.
• Error handling: Operations Console is used for the following two types of validations:
  • Client Side - Validations using Javascript that run within the web browser. Client side validation errors appear below the Menu bar on the Operations Console page.

  Note	Enable Javascript in the browser.

  Sign In to Operations Console

  Before you begin

  • Install Operations Console from the Unified CVP software CD.
  • Make a note of the password for the default Administrator account that you created during the installation.

  Note	By default, the Operations Console session expires after 60 minutes. Relogin to Operations Console after the session expires.

  Procedure

  From the web browser, enter https://ServerIP:9443/oamp, where ServerIP is the IP address or hostname of the machine on which the Operations Console is installed.

  The main Unified CVP window opens.

  Enter your user ID in the Username field.

  Enter Administrator , which is the default user account.

  In the Password field, enter your password.

  If you are logging in to the default Administrator account, enter the password that was set for this account during installation.

  If the user ID or password is invalid, the Operations Console Server displays the message, "Invalid Username or password." Enter your user ID and password again and click OK.

  The main Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal window opens.

  Check your security policy and, if needed, change the settings to a less restrictive level.

  Default security settings can prevent users from using the Operations Console.

  Sign Out of Operations Console

  From the Operations Console header, click Sign out .

  The Login page of Unified Customer Voice Portal window appears.

  Operations Console Menus and Options

  Table 1. Operations Console—Menus and Options

  View the status of the Cisco Unified CVP environment in a network control center. View the status and statistics by Device Type or Device Pools, logical groups of devices in the Cisco Unified CVP solution. Initiate Start, Shutdown, or Graceful Shutdown actions on devices in the Control Center.

  Create, modify, and delete device pool names and descriptions for logical groups of devices (for example, all devices located in a geographical region).

  Import System Configuration

  Import a previously-saved Operations Console Server configuration file and apply it to the current system.

  Export System Configuration

  Save and export all configuration information for the Operations Console Server to a single file on your local computer.

  You can later use this file to restore an Operations Console Server during disaster recovery.

  Add, edit, synchronize, and delete Unified CM location information.

  SIP Server Groups

  Configure server groups for SIP and view Call Server deployment status.

  Configure Diagnostic Portal servlet credentials.

  Dialed Number Pattern

  Configure the Dialed Number Patterns for a destination. You can define the dialed numbers for the Error Tone, Ring Tone, and other destinations.

  IOS Template Management - Add, Delete, Edit, Copy, and View an IOS template configuration pushed to an IOS gateway. The template contains the IOS commands required for use in a Unified CVP deployment.

  IOS Template Deployment - Deploy a gateway configuration template to an IOS gateway. The template provisions the gateway and substitutes any variables in the template with the source devices that are chosen when it is deployed.

  Configure allowed and denied dialed numbers, maximum callbacks per number, and Call Server deployment.

  Unified CVP Call Server

  Configure Call Server general and infrastructure settings; specify call services settings for each deployment model; associate Call Servers with device pools and the SIP Proxy Server ; and apply licenses to a Call Server .

  Unified CVP Reporting Server

  Configure Reporting Server general and infrastructure settings, associate Reporting Servers with Call Servers, specify reporting properties, and associate Reporting Servers with device pools.

  Perform Reporting database administration: schedule database backups and purges; manage database and reporting user names and passwords ; apply licenses to a Reporting Server .

  Unified CVP VXML Server

  Configure VXML Server general and infrastructure settings; specify primary and backup Call Servers; enable VXML Server reporting and specify VoiceXML data filters; associate VXML Servers with device pools; and apply licenses and transfer scripts to a VXML Server.

  Unified CVP VXML Server (standalone)

  Note	A VXML Server (standalone) handles calls that arrive through a VoiceXML gateway. (No statistics are provided when the VXML Server is configured this way.) Also, you cannot configure a database to and capture data from VXML Server (standalone) applications.

  Configure a Gatekeeper and add this device to the Device Pool.

  Configure Gateway general settings; associate Gateways with device pools; execute a subset of IOS commands; view gateway statistics; and transfer files.

  • The call server was not deployed
  • Unknown error
  • Notification error: Contact administrator
  • Could not write to properties file
  • The Call Server device is using an unknown version of the Unified CVP software
