About Nortel Networks Call Center
This guide leads a Call Center Administrator or a System Administrator through setting up and
operating Call Center, and is an ongoing reference.
Call Center is an application that handles incoming calls as efficiently and economically as
possible. Call Center answers calls, then routes the calls to agents in a skillset that most closely
matches the needs of the caller. Calls can be routed based on the origin of the call, the destination
of the call, or the information entered by the caller. Callers can be given high or low priorities.
Callers can overflow to different groups or skillsets of agents, transfer out of the system, leave a
message, and hear announcements or informative messages.
You set up and operate Call Center through CallPilot Manager, the web-based interface, and from
a telephone. If you use the CallPilot 150 system you can set up and administer some Call Center
functionality from a two line display telephone.
Professional and Basic Call Center Nortel Call Pilot CallPilot Meridian
Basic Call Center and Professional Call Center are available. The table “A comparison of Basic
and Professional Call Center” on page 13 shows the differences between them. You can use Basic
Call Center on a CallPilot 150 system. You can use Basic or Professional Call Center on a
Business Communications Manager 2.5 system.

Using Call Center with CallPilot
CallPilot has two powerful call routing features: Automated Attendant (AA) and Custom Call
Routing (CCR). These features route incoming calls to telephones and voice mailboxes. These
features can also route calls to Call Center skillsets.
Automated Attendant Nortel Call Pilot CallPilot Meridian
The Automated Attendant answers incoming calls and presents callers with a greeting. After the
greeting, the Automated Attendant Menu offers callers a range of options that they can select using
the dialpad of their telephone. Using these options, callers can transfer themselves from the
Automated Attendant to a skillset by entering the Control DN of the skillset.
For information about how to configure the Automated Attendant, refer to the CallPilot Set Up
and Operation Guide.
Custom Call Routing (CCR) Nortel Call Pilot CallPilot Meridian
With CCR you can replace the Automated Attendant menu with an expanded menu that can
include several sub-menus to offer callers a wider range of options. You can give callers access to
a Call Center skillset by adding an internal transfer that transfers the caller to the Control DN of
the skillset.
For more information about transfers and CCR, refer to the CallPilot Manager Set Up and
Operation Guide.
Note: Include the number of the Control DN in your Automated Attendant Greeting.
