  • E. allows customers to retrieve the required information through voice commands without interacting with an agent
Mark Question:
Answer:

AE


Explanation:
The correct answer is A and E. The Cisco VVB has the following features:
Facilitates self-service options such as access to check account information or user-directed call
routing by processing user commands through touchtone input or speech-recognition technologies1
.
Allows customers to retrieve the required information through voice commands without interacting
with an agent, to navigate to the correct department, or to get help from an agent1
.
Provides multilingual support for Cisco VVB server prompts for Automated Speech Recognition (ASR)
and Text-To-Speech (TTS) capabilities1
.
Provides more comprehensive and effective customer service by efficiently handling call traffic with
self-service or fast transfer to the correct agent the first time1
.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/admin/10_5_2/ccmfeat/CUCM_BK_C3A84B33_00_cucm-feature-configuration-guide_1052/CUCM_BK_C3A84B33_00_cucm-feature-configuration-guide_chapter_011101.html
The correct answer is C.
The Extension Mobility feature can be described as follows1
:
The Cisco Unified CM feature that allows Agents to temporarily access their Cisco Unified IP Phone
configuration, such as line appearances, services, and speed dials, from other Unified IP Phones1
.
The feature enables users to log in to any phone that supports Extension Mobility and use it as their
own phone1
.
The feature supports both intra-cluster and cross-cluster scenarios, where users can log in to phones
that are located within the same or different Unified CM clusters1
.
The other options are incorrect because:
Option A is incorrect because the device profile needs to be created in Unified CM, not CCE, and
associated with the user, not the agent1
.
Option B is incorrect because only the device profile needs to be added to the pg user account, not
the phone2
.
Option D is incorrect because the Extension Mobility Cross Cluster works on phones that are located
in different Unified CM clusters, not the same cluster1
.
Extension Mobility is a feature of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CM) that allows users to
temporarily access their personal phone settings, such as line appearances, services, and speed dials,
on different Cisco Unified IP Phones. This feature is particularly useful in environments where users
change workspaces frequently or share workspaces with others.
Reference: Cisco Unified CM's official documentation provides comprehensive details on the
Extension Mobility feature, including its setup, configuration, and usage.

Question 9

When is the IVR leg established in a CCE Call Flow?

  • A. when CVP establishes an HTTP link with the VXML Server
  • B. when CVP establishes an HTTP link with the Media Server
  • C. when CVP establishes an HTTP link with the VVB (or IOS VXML Gateway)
  • D. when the Ingress Gateway delivers a SIP invite message to the CVP server
Mark Question:
Answer:

C


Explanation:
In a Cisco Contact Center Enterprise (CCE) Call Flow, the IVR leg is established when the Cisco Voice
Portal (CVP) establishes an HTTP link with the VVB (Virtualized Voice Browser) or an IOS VXML
Gateway. This connection is crucial for delivering and executing VXML scripts, which define the IVR's
logic and caller interactions. The IVR leg's establishment is a key step in the call flow, enabling the
system to provide self-service options, collect caller information, and route calls based on dynamic
conditions.
Reference: Cisco CCE and CVP documentation provides insights into call flow processes, specifically
detailing the role of the VVB and the establishment of the IVR leg.

Question 12

Which two steps are involved in configuring and evaluating business in an ICM script? (Choose two.)

  • A. Configure set variable in ICM script editor
  • B. Configure Business Hours under Organizational Setup > Business hours under CCE Admin
  • C. Use the expression BusinessHourStatus.<Calendar Name> . BusinessHours in the IF node.
  • D. Configure Business Hours under Organizational Setup > Departments under CCE Admin
  • E. Configure an IF node in ICM script editor
Mark Question:
Answer:

BE


Explanation:
in order to configure and evaluate business hours in an ICM script, you must first configure the
Business Hours under Organizational Setup > Business Hours in CCE Admin. Once the Business Hours
are configured, you then need to configure an IF node in the ICM script editor, using the expression
BusinessHourStatus.<Calendar Name>.BusinessHours. This expression will then evaluate to True or
False depending on whether the current time falls within the configured Business Hours or not.
When configuring and evaluating business hours in an ICM script, the key steps involve:
B. Configure Business Hours under Organizational Setup > Business hours in CCE Admin: This step is
crucial for defining the operational hours during which certain routing decisions or scripts should be
active.
E. Configure an IF node in ICM script editor: The IF node in the script is used to evaluate whether the
current time falls within the defined business hours. Based on this evaluation, the script can route
the call differently, enable or disable certain features, or make other adjustments to call handling.
Reference: The process of setting up business hours and incorporating them into routing scripts is
detailed in Cisco's ICM scripting and administration guides.
