For Wallboard for Cisco CC
Cisco contact center environment is installed and accessible (Required for Wallboard for Cisco CC)
Compatible Cisco Unified CC versions
| Cisco UCCE | Cisco UCCX |
|---|---|
| This version is not tested with the Cisco CCE platform. An on-demand test cycle can be planned for testing with the desired CCE version. | Tested with the CCX version 12.5 Assumed to work on higher versions as well. An on-demand testing cycle can also be executed on older versions of CCX. |
Wallboard Reporting/ Display Device
The provisioning of reporting devices is partner/customer's responsibility. For reporting device, one of the following hardware solutions must be provided to display wallboard views in the production environment.
- An existing PC with a pre-installed OS, Monitor or LCD for wallboard display OR
- A Smart LCD with an embedded browser to open the wallboard view OR
- A raspberry pi device with OS installed with an LCD to display.
For raspberry pi device's details, see https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/
Port Utilization
The following ports should remain open on the Firewall. The local security policy and any antivirus should also allow open communication on the following ports.
Type | Source Host | Source Port | Destination Host | Destination Port |
HTTP | Enterprise web user | any | Dashboard & Wallboards | 80 |
HTTPS | Dashboards & Wallboards server | any | Dashboard & Wallboards | 443 |
| UDP/TCP | Dashboards & Wallboards server | any | MS SQL Server (CCE DB) | 1433 |
System Access Requirements
Deployment Privileges
Administrative privileges (root) on the machine are required to follow the deployment steps. The Internet should be available on the machine where the application is being installed and connections on port 9242 should be allowed in the network firewall to carry out the installation steps.
Provision Database and a user on SQL Server Cluster
The following database and the privileged SQL user is required to connect to the application database. The application will create its tables and other schema objects itself after connection.
- Create a wallboard application database with the name EFWallboard.
- Create an SQL Server User EFUser with a database role db_owner on the EFWallboard database.
Integration with UCCX
To read CSQs and agents list from CCX, we need admin user credentials to access UCCX Configuration APIs to fetch the list of CSQs, agents, and teams.
To access the Cisco CCX database remotely via the wallboard application, CCX reporting user (uccxhruser) password is required.
Integration with UCCE
Since we need access on the Cisco AW database remotely, create an SQL server user, EFUser, with db_datareader role on the Cisco AW database.
Time Synchronization Requirements
If the system dates and times are not synchronized, the system can produce unpredictable results. Therefore, the EF applications and Cisco Contact Center should have their time zone and date/time properly configured, according to the geographic region and must be synchronized.
To configure the time zone, please see the instructions from the hardware or software manufacturer of the NTP server. The application servers should be synchronized. This synchronization should be maintained continuously and validated on a regular basis. For security reasons, the Network Time Protocol (NTP) V 4.1+ is recommended.
