About AltiGen SuperQ

AltiGen SuperQ is a Java-based application designed to queue and

distribute calls for call centers with workgroups located in different

geographic locations or across multiple AltiContact Manager (ACM)

systems. Each server can have one or more local workgroup queues. All

locations and servers are tied together over an internet protocol (IP)

network and voice over IP (VoIP) SIP tie trunk. AltiGen SuperQ optimizes

efficiency by controlling calls in the carrier’s network termination site

before they travel through the IP network and reach local automatic call

distributors (ACDs).

AltiGen SuperQ enables call centers to combine teams of workgroups from

multiple locations into one virtual team, providing the following benefits:

• Superior customer service

• Reduced operating costs

• Optimized operations effectiveness, achieved by eliminating

imbalance of agent call load

Larger virtual teams increase efficiency, allowing call centers to handle

more calls with the same number of people. Calls can be delivered with

faster service, shorter hold times, balanced work load, and fewer

abandoned calls.

AltiGen SuperQ provides separate graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for

configuration and monitoring. AltiGen SuperQ call detail reporting

(CDR) data is also available.

AltiGen SuperQ requires the registration and activation of the AltiGen

SuperQ License in each ACM System that will be connected to SuperQ.

New in SuperQ for AltiWare 5.2

• A SuperQ agent may belong to multiple workgroups

• Up to 10 SuperQ queues are supported

2AltiGen SuperQ Manual

System Requirements

Run SuperQ on a separate system from AltiServ.

The system with SuperQ running must meet the following minimum

requirements:

• Windows Server 2003

• Dedicated Pentium 4, 2 GHz computer

• 512 MB RAM

• 40 GB available hard drive disk space

• Java Virtual Machine (Java VM) 1.5

The system with SuperQ Manager andSuperQ Monitor running must meet

the following minimum requirements:

• PC running Windows 2003 or Windows XP with SP 2

• Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.5

• Pentium 4, 1GHz with 256 M

The AltiWare system should have the following:

• ACM 5.2 or higher

• AltiGen SuperQ License (each AltiServ requires an AltiGen SuperQ

license)

Important WAN Considerations

Administrators should consider bandwidth availability and usage among

sites. If the bandwidth is insufficient, it may degrade voice quality. In this

case, the SuperQ may not be usable.

If many calls will be placed over the wide area network (WAN),

administrators should also ensure the WAN is reliable. If the WAN is not

reliable, administrators should take the following steps:

1. Enable the option Dispatch calls to local workgroup first if local

agent(s) available (under SuperQ Manager/Call Distribution).

2. For each server, set Maximum In-use IP Channelsto a smaller value.

In SuperQ, administrators can configure a maximum of IP trunks. The

WAN bandwidth requirement can be calculated using the following

formula:

AltiGen SuperQ Manual 3

Maximum IP trunks x G.723/G.729 bandwidth usage x 1.5 = bandwidth

requirement

If G.723/G.729 usage is around 25 Kbps, G.711 is not recommended (~80

Kbps), unless 2Mbs+ bandwidth is available among sites.

Installing SuperQ

For SuperQ Server Administration

Note: During the installation process, Java 2 VM 1.5 is installed on your

system.

To install SuperQ for server administration, run the Setup program and

follow the installation instructions as they appear on the screen. In the

Custom Setup screen, choose to install SuperQ Server on the system,

then click Next.

After installation, restart the system.

Additional Server Setup

• SIP tie trunks should have access codes set in AltiWare Administrator.

• Music settings should be set in AltiWare Administrator, if music is

needed for a queue.

• An entry should be added in the IP dialing table for each server. Select

SIP for the protocol and select a codec type.

Note: Do not select “default” as the codec type. This would cause

remote call failure.

6AltiGen SuperQ Manual

SuperQ Service

SuperQ Service is an automatic startup service running as a background

process for SuperQ. This service is controlled by AltiGen Java Services

Manager. To stop or start the service, or to change SuperQ Service

properties, go to AltiGen Java Services Loader, located at Start >

Programs > AltiGen Java Services Loader > AltiGen Java Services

Manager.

If SuperQ Service is stopped, all calls to the SuperQ will follow the

Application Extension Configuration’s application failover plan.

For SuperQ Manager and SuperQ Monitor

Clients

To install SuperQ Manager or SuperQ Monitor, run the Setup program and

follow the installation instructions as they appear on the screen. In the

Custom Setup screen, install SuperQ Manager and Super Queue

Monitor on the system.
