Virtualized Voice Browser Configuration API
The Cisco Virtualized Voice Browser (VVB) is an optional component that is configured as an external machine in the Packaged CCE System Inventory. Cisco VVB can be used as an alternative to the use of VXML gateways, which is to send the HTTP requests to CVP VXML server.
This API is used to configure the VVB parameters like Media and Security, Speech Servers, Applications properties, and fetch the configured data from AW DB.

Operations
Parameters
-
Media Parameter
-
codec: Required. Audio codecs are supported.
-
MRCPVersion: Required. Version of the MRCP protocol used to communicate between ASR/TTS server and Cisco VVB.
NoteASR-TTS service is not supported using G729 codec; therefore, MRCP is not applicable for this codec.
-
overrideSystemPrompt: To override the system default prompt files. When enabled, the system plays the custom recorded prompt that is uploaded to the appropriate language directory under Prompt Management on Cisco VVB Admin UI.
Parameter

Security Parameter
-
sipTLSEnabled: Required. When enabled, this setting secures SIP signaling on the IVR leg.
-
tlsVersion: Required. Allows you to select one or more TLS versions of SIP. When you select a given TLS (SIP) version, Cisco VVB will support SIP TLS requests for this version and the higher supported versions.
To enable this parameter, set the sipTLSEnabled parameter value to true.
-
cipher: Required. Defines the ciphers supported by Cisco VVB, with key size lesser than or equal to 1024 bits.
To enable this parameter, set the sipTLSEnabled parameter value to true.
-
srtpEnabled: When SRTP (Secure Real-time Transport Protocol) is enabled, the IVR media is encrypted. The IVR leg is secured. SRTP uses Crypto-Suite AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_32 for encrypting the media stream.
To enable this parameter, set the sipTLSEnabled parameter value to true.
-
allowMixedMode: When Allow RTP (Mixed mode) is enabled, the VVB accepts both SRTP and RTP call flows. You can enable Allow RTP (Mixed mode) only when SRTP is enabled.
To enable this parameter, set the sipTLSEnabled and srtpEnabled parameters value to true.

Application & Triggers
By default, Packaged CCE will configure three applications - Comprehensive, Ringtone and Error. Below are the application specific parameters that you can edit.
-
Comprehensive
Parameter
Description
applicationName
Required. Application name - Comprehensive
sigDigits
The data type of the attribute is Integer. Enter the number of digits that are used as sigdigit. Range is 0 to 20.
When Cisco VVB receives a call, the CVP comprehensive service is configured to strip the digits, so that when the IVR leg of the call is set up, the original label is used on the incoming VoiceXML request.
maximumSession
Required. Number of sessions to associate with the Comprehensive application.
NoteThis number must not exceed the maximum number of ports supported for Cisco VVB profile.
The data type of the attribute is integer. The default value is 600. Range is 1 to 600.
enableSecurity
Enable the option to encrypt the communication between Cisco VVB and VXML server.
By default, this feature is disabled. The data type of the attribute is Boolean (Enable/Disable).
sipTriggers
SIP triggers required to invoke the application in response to incoming calls.
NoteEach time you invoke the API, the new list of SIP triggers overrides the existing triggers associated with the application.
Valid input triggers are numbers (0-9), asterisk (*), and period (.). For example: 9191*.NoteDo not create a trigger with only an asterisk or a period. If the trigger contains these characters, provide a number too.
-
Ringtone
Parameter
Description
applicationName
Required. Application name - Ringtone
maximumSession
Required. Number of sessions to associate with the Ringtone application.
The data type of the attribute is integer. The default value is 600. Range is 1 to 600.
sipTriggers
SIP triggers required to invoke the application in response to incoming calls.
NoteEach time you invoke the API, the new list of SIP triggers overrides the existing triggers associated with the application.
Valid input triggers are numbers (0-9), asterisk (*), and period (.). For example: 9191*.NoteDo not create a trigger with only an asterisk or a period. If the trigger contains these characters, provide a number too.
-
Error
Parameter
Description
applicationName
Required. Application name - Error
maximumSession
Required. Number of sessions to associate with the Error application.
The data type of the attribute is integer. The default value is 600. Range is 1 to 600.
customErrorPrompt
The custom error .wav file to play. The parameter is editable.
NoteSpecify the custom prompt already uploaded into Cisco VVB, else default error prompt will be used.
sipTriggers
SIP triggers required to invoke the application in response to incoming calls.
NoteEach time you invoke the API, the new list of SIP triggers overrides the existing triggers associated with the application.
Valid input triggers are numbers (0-9), asterisk (*), and period (.). For example: 9191*.NoteDo not create a trigger with only an asterisk or a period. If the trigger contains these characters, provide a number too.

Example Get Response
Following are the REST responses received when the REST API runs to configure the VVB devices for a given site:
-
Success - Configuration changes persist in AW DB and synchronized with respective VVB devices.
Code: 200
Response: Successfully saved
-
Partial Success - Configuration changes persist in AW DB, but failed to synchronize with one or more VVB devices.
Code: 200
Response: Configuration update failed for one or more devices. (This occurs when the AW DB is updated but Sync with VVB failed.)
Code: 503
Response: The server is currently busy. Please try again later. (This occurs when data synchronization to a device is in progress.)
Example API error: -
Failure- The configuration updates to AW DB is failed.
