In bpm’online, the Avaya integration functionality has a separate license. You need to generate a license request, send it to our service team, upload the received license file into the system and finally, distribute the licenses between the users.
Note
See more details about licensing in the “Software licensing” and “License distribution” articles.
The integration can be performed if all prior Avaya configurations are performed by the telephony administrator.
Setting up bpm’online messaging service
The messaging service allows you to connect bpm’online to the phone integration using the DMCC .NET API integration protocol to connect to Avaya and distributing the call events between bpm’online users.
DMCC .NET API integration protocol requires licenses. The number of the licenses should correspond to the number of bpm’online users who simultaneously use Avaya phone integration.
Note
See Avaya documentation for more information.
Note
Avaya Application Enablement Services (AES) component within the telecommunication system [PBX] is needed for Avaya phone integration. The integration is available for AES version of 5.2 server and up.
1.Contact bpm'online support at support@bpmonline.com to receive installation files. Run the received .MSI file on the message exchange server and proceed with the installation.
Attention
.NET Framework of version 4.7.2 or higher should be installed on the server where you configure the bpm’online Messaging Service.
2.Specify the following parameters in the “Terrasoft.Messaging.Service.exe.config” configuration file:
<avaya serverIp="" port="4721" useSecureSockets="False" ctiUser="" psw="" protocolVersion="http://www.ecma-international.org/standards/ecma-323/csta/ed3/priv6" switchName="CM"
