1 – If a call is routed through UCCX while using CUCM, then number identification is unavailable due to TAPI limitations.
2, 3 – In certain situations, if calls are made from bpm'online, the user must receive an incoming “system“ call first before initiating an outgoing call. This depends on the software or hardware phone version/model.
4 – Fully supported, if the operator is using CallWay software phone. If other IP phones are used, then to make a call from bpm'online, an operator must respond to incoming “system“ call.
5 – Not all software/hardware phones support this feature.
6 – Only supported, if the operator is using CallWay software phone.
7 – The following 2 statuses are available: “Ready” and "Do not disturb" (DND). Currently unavailable for Cisco.
8 — Because of limitations Avaya API has only 2 states Log in and log out (AgentLoggedOn and AgentLoggedOff), and an answer on status change request.
