Advanced Call Router Manual 1

Advanced Call Router

Advanced Call Router is the standard Call Router application plus call

router service. Advanced Call Router requires the purchase and activation

of a Advanced Call Router license.

Note: The workgroup to which incoming trunk calls will be routed via

Call Router must be assigned to the Auto Attendant whose Action

is set to “Avd - Data Directed Routing, with Application set to the

virtual extension you use to start Call Router. For further

information on configuring Auto Attendants, refer to the Auto

Attendant Configuration chapter of the AltiWare System

Administration Manual and the AltiAPI Programmer Guide.

New in Version 5.0

•Setting Call Priority - when a call data element matches one of the

business rules configured in Advanced Call Router’s database, the

priority of this call can be set to a pre-defined value configued in the

matched business rule.

•Extensionpasswordprotectionforlogins- AltiServ maintains a

counter for each extension to track login failures. Up to 8 login

attempts are allowed, after which login will be disabled from 1 to 24

hours (depending on the Adminstrator’s setting).

Installation

To install Advanced Call Router, run the .exe file from the Advanced Call

Router folder of the AltiWare 5.0 Installation CD. When prompted, enter

the 20 digit license key for Advanced Call Router in the field and click

Next. Setup will confirm the destination for the Call Router application

(default is C:\Program Files\AltiGen\Call Router). Click Next to proceed.

To select a different location, use the Browse button to choose the new

destination.

Note: Advanced Call Router Service requires the purchase and

activation of the Advance Call Router license.

Database Upgrade

2Advanced Call Router Manual

Database Upgrade

If a user has Basic Call Router installed to a machine without AltiServ, the

user will not be able to upgrade the Basic Call Router’s database to the

Advanced Call Router’s database.

If a user has Basic Call Router already installed to a machine running

AltiServ, then Basic Call Router’s database will be upgraded automatically

if the Advanced Call Router is installed on the machine.

If the user wants to re-use routing rule information from Basic Call Router,

the user should perform a fresh install of Advanced Call Router to the

machine running AltiServ. From there, the user can use the CRDBUpdate

tool to update the Basic Call Router’s database to the Advanced Call

Router’s database.

After upgrading all the old rules from the Basic Call Router’s database,

they can then be re-used by Advanced Call Router.

Call Router DBUpdate Tool

Important: Before using the CRDBUpdate tool to update Basic Call

Router’s database to Advanced Call Router’s 5.0 database,

please stop Advanced Call Router service and/or Basic Call

Router.

To run the Call Router DB update tool:

1. Open CRDBUpdate.exe.

2. Browse and/or select the 4.6 Basic Call Router’s database at “Source

database,” (default name - “callrouter.mdb.”)

3. Browse and/or select the 5.0 Advanced Call Router’s database as the

“Destination database,” (default name -“callrouter.mdb.”)

4. Afterselectingthetwodatabases,presstheUpgradebuttontoupgrade

the 4.6 Basic Call Router’s database to the 5.0 Advanced Call Router’s

database.

5. After updating the database, restart the Advanced Call Router’s

service for the changes to take effect.

6. If the Basic Call Router and Advanced Call Router are installed on

different machine, the user can simply share the Basic Call Router

database file for conversion or copy the callrouter.mdb file to the

machine running Advanced Call Router for conversion.

Notes:

• The tool will copy the source database to overwrite destination

database. If the user wants to keep destination database infomation,

please backup destination database before upgrade.

• If Basic Callrouter and Altiserv are installed on the same machine, the

installation of Advanced Call Router will automatically upgrade the

Basic Call Router database. So after installing Advanced Call Router,

the user does need not to manually run this tool.
