Prolog information
After the CMS software has been installed or upgraded, the on-site technician must test the link from the CMS server to the switch that is using the Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) feature.
Before you begin
Verify that:
  • A virtual console window is open
  • CMS is turned on.
  1. In a virtual console window, log into the system by using a CMS administrator’s login ID by entering: su - cms
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Enter the correct password if prompted.
  2. Enter: cms
  3. Enter the correct terminal type.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The CMS Main Menu is displayed.
    The CMS Main Menu has indicators that show whether the link to the ACD is active. The link indicator consists of the carets (\/ and /\) at the right side of the banner line. There should be one caret for each ACD, and all should be pointed up (^).
    Example:
    If you have four ACDs, the link indicator should look like this: ^^^^, which means that all four ACDs are up and operating.
  4. Select Maintenance from the CMS Main Menu.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The system displays the Maintenance menu.
  5. Select Connection Status from the Maintenance menu.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The Connection Status window displays the following information:
    • The name of the ACD
    • Whether the application is in data transfer
    • Whether the session is in data transfer
    • Whether the connection is operational
    • The date, time, and any errors
  6. Press the F5 key to exit the screen.
