On the Aspect ACD, both using the teleset (hardware phone) and a test CTI application (sample.exe) which controls the telset through the Aspect CMI server the following is possible:

Caller (party A) arrives into Agent (party on the line "Ouside Line 1"
Agent (party selects "Inside line" and makes a call to Party C
Agent presses conference button and all parties are conference.

Next step - Releasing party C from the call

Agent selects Inside line - this puts "Ouside Line 1" (Party A) on hold.
Agent presses "Release" button - this drops the "Inside line" call (Party C)
Agent selects "Outside Line 1" and reconnect to party A

This is not possible to be done using the out of the box CTIOS client.
Nor it seems from my testing is it possible to do this using the CTItest or CILtest clients.

i.e. when using "clear" or "leave" in the CTItest app with the callid for the second leg of the call - both calls are dropped from the Agents teleset.

There does not seem to be a CTI command to be able to specifically select a line - as the Aspect CTI test client can achieve.

Any ideas - any thoughts on this issue?
Should I give up ???

Regards,
Gerry

David,

Attached is the output from CTItest.

You can see that during the conference call, both call legs are active and have their 2 call-ids. i.e. that during the conference call a new callid is not generated.

When you release the second call-id (party B & party C) - the call from party A - party B is released from the agent teleset as well but is not hung up.

The call is still active - and you can see it gets a new callID.

However it does not seem possible to reconnect to this new call-id back to the Agent and the Agent is at this stage gone into Wrap up state.

Have a look at the attached - I think it should outline it quite well.
Was unable to attached the file - got error message "The content type of the file 'CTI-test-output.log' is not allowed."
Seems strange that you cannot attached a ascii text file?

Anyway below is a copy and paste of the file - since i cannot attached....

Regards,
Gerry

David,


You are correct. When you are on a conference and you do a release of the call, using either the CTIOS client (release button) or pressing Release on the teleset, the other two parties that were in the conference stay connected - while the Aspect teleset (agent) is dropped off the call.

This seems to be implemented by "transferring" the call to the Primary Rate channel - "TransferredDevice=(TRUNK)84"

However using the teleset directly - it is possible to first put one of the lines on hold BEFORE doing a release.
This allows you to drop only one of confernced parties and allows you to connect back to party A or party C (i.e. remove the conference).

Using the CTI test and CTIOS client is seems it is not possible to put one of the call legs on hold. Attempting to put either Call-id on Hold, puts both lines on hold.

Below is an CTI test output using the teleset to put one of the calls on hold, before releasing the other call. This is what we would like to be able to do using a CTIOS client.

Regards,
Gerry
