Creating or Modifying a Communications Configuration
In the Communications Administration screen, use the All Configurations view to create or modify a communications configuration.
The sample configurations shown in Table 3 are provided with Siebel Communications Server to support handling work items of communications channels such as voice and email. These channels are supported by third-party products such as CTI middleware/switches or email software.
Your installation may include other configurations than these, such as those that may be imported from .def files. For more information about .def files, see Exporting and Importing Configuration Data.
After you create a communications configuration, you must create and associate parameters, profiles, agents, events, and commands, in order for the configuration to be functional.
- For information about specifying parameters, see Specifying Parameters for Communications Configurations.
- For information about specifying profiles, see Configuring Communications Drivers and Profiles.
- For information about specifying agents, see Specifying Agents.
- For information about specifying events, see Defining Communications Events.
- For information about specifying commands, see Defining Communications Commands.
Rather than using the Communications Administration screen to create or modify communications configuration data directly, you can export some of the data to files and modify or extend it using a text editor. Then you can import the data into the test or production Siebel database when you are ready to test, deploy, or update the communications configuration. For more information, see Exporting and Importing Configuration Data.
