Installation

HAPTER

Overview

AltiSupervisor is an optional software package that runs with the AltiWare

OE or AltiContact Manager system. AltiSupervisor Session licenses must

be installed and registered to enable client sessions.

To install the AltiSupervisor client software, you can load AltiSupervisor

on a network server and then using your company’s distribution software

to deliver the AltiSupervisor client software to each desktop PC.

Most frequently, this means loading the software onto a shared network file

server and copying the software to each desktop PC. Alternatively, you can

use the AltiSupervisor CD ROM to install the program on each desktop.

New in Version 5.0A

• Colorcoded priority in queue-Asupervisorcanassigndifferentcolors

for different call priorities.

• Supervisor can choose to be alerted when queue reaches a specified

numberof calls and/oraspecifiednumberofminutes(added in Update

• Force Agent phone to virtual - A supervisor can change an agent’s

extension from physical to virtual (the same as the agent pressing #26

from the phone).

• Change “Transfer” Button to “Redirect” Button - The Transfer button

in the AltiSupervisor Queue Monitor page is changed to Redirect.

• Indicator for Recorded Agent Conversation - After a Supervisor clicks

on the “Record” menu item (on the Agent Status tab) to record an

agent’s conversation, AltiSupervisor will display “Rec” in the Agent

State field to indicate the call is being recorded.

between AltiServ and AltiSupervisor is broken, AltiSupervisor will

pop a message box to inform the user and will also provide a

Reconnect button. The Reconnect button will connect to AltiServ

again without having to log back onto AltiSupervisor to re-enter the

extension number and password.

Installation

Session Licensing and License Upgrade

Procedures

AltiSupervisor requires an AltiSupervisor session license to be installed at

the AltiWare/ACM system. Concurrent login session is governed by the

AltiSupervisor session license.

You can verify the licenses when you run AltiAdmin/ACM Admin by

selecting About AltiWare…/About ACM Admin... on the Help menu,

then clicking the License Information button to view a window that

displays licenses and session information.

Installation and Setup

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before installing AltiSupervisor, please review the following checklist:

• Make sure that AltiWare OE/ACC or AltiContact Manager 5.0A has

been installed on the server system.

• Make sure that TCP/IP is enabled on both machines.

• Make sure the client is able to connect to the server on the network.

• Local administrator rights are required to install AltiView and

AltiSupervisor.

• Make sure License has been installed and activated.

Installing AltiSupervisor on a Client System

After completing the pre-installation checklist, proceed as follows on the

client machine:

1. Exit any/all Windows applications.

2. Insert the 5.0A Client CD into the CD ROM drive.

3. Run the Setup program under AltiSupervisor\ and follow the step-by-

step installation instructions as they appear on the screen.

4AltiSupervisor Manual

Uninstalling AltiSupervisor

1. From the Windows Start menu, select Control Panel Add/

Remove Programs to uninstall AltiSupervisor.

2. Click OK when the dialog box asks if you want to uninstall the

program, and respond to any additional prompts.

Auto Upgrade

During startup, AltiSupervisor will detect if its version matches with the

version of the OE/ACC or ACM server to be connected. If an older version

is found, the client will be prompted for upgrade permission. If the user

decides to auto upgrade, the AltiSupervisor application is terminated and a

software upgrade session is started. Restart AltiSupervisor to run the newer

version.

Note: For remote AltiSupervisor users outside the firewall, TCP port

10050 is required to be open to allow auto upgrade. Also, auto

upgrade over the Internet requires the sending of 15 MB files over

the WAN, which may take some time to perform the automatic

update.

Downgrade Procedure

1. Go to Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and remove the

AltiSupervisor 5.0A program and ALL OTHER 5.0A client

applications (including AltiAgent, AltiView, AltiConsole and CDR

Search 5.0A).

2. Reboot your system.

3. Go to “<local drive>:Program Files\AltiGen\Shared Files\” and

remove AlpInterface.dll.

Note: The AlpInterface might be located under

“\WinNT\System32\”, “\Windows\System32\” or some other

location. Use the Search for Files and Folders feature to

locate and remove all AlpInterface.dll files from the system.

4. Install the AltiSupervisor 5.0 software.
