Defining a new ACD (acd_create)

Last Updated : Dec 19, 2024 |

About this task

You can use this process to add a new ACD.

When you add an ACD, the system automatically grants permission to the ACD for administrator and normal users, but not to tenant users. You must manually give permission to the ACD for tenant users.

Before you begin

  1. You must purchase and authorize the ACD before you add it to CMS.

  2. If you want to administer a secondary hostname or IP address, you must install the Dual IP feature package before creating the ACD.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the CMS server with root privileges.
    • To log in as root from a remote connection, you must log in using an CMS user ID, then enter su - root to log on with root privileges

  2. Enter cmsadm. The system displays the administration menu.
  3. Turn off the CMS software:
    1. Select run_cms.
    2. Select Enter the number to turn off the CMS software.
  4. Enter the number associated with the acd_create option. CMS selects the next available ACD for creation. For example, if two ACDs are already active, CMS selects ACD 3.
  5. At the prompts, enter the information for the new ACD:
  • Switch name

  • Switch model (release)

  • Local port assigned to the switch

  • Remote port assigned to the switch

  • The hostname or IP address and TCP port

  • The optional secondary host name or IP address and TCP port if the Dual IP feature is installed

  • Start and stop times of all shifts

  • Number of trunk groups

  • Number of trunks

  • Number of unmeasured (trunk) facilities

  1. Restart the CMS software:
    1. Enter the number associated with the run_cms option.
    2. Enter the option to turn on the CMS software.
