Parameters

You are able to follow these parameters:

  • ASR – Answer-Seizure Ratio (percent)
  • ACD – Average Call Duration (in seconds)
  • PDD – Average Post Dial Delay. The time between punching in the last digit of a telephone number and receiving a ring or busy signal (in seconds)
  • TTC (Time to Connect)(DURATION-BILLSEC) – Average time between receiving a ring signal and answer to the call (in seconds)
  • BILLSEC – Sum of calls billsec (in seconds)
  • TOTAL CALLS – Sum of all calls.
  • ANSWERED CALLS – Sum of answered calls.
  • NOT ANSWERED CALLS – Sum of not answered calls (FAILED, BUSY, NO ANSWER).
  • SIMULTANEOUS CALLS – Number of simultaneous calls (only applies to users and providers).
  • PRICE SUM – Sum of calls price (only applies to users and providers).
  • HGC (ABSOLUTE) – Number of calls terminated with this HGC.
  • HGC (PERCENT) – Percentage of calls terminated with this HGC.

And it is possible to take action for these types of M4 Objects or send a notification about it:

Object Types



Primary and Secondary Object

If the Primary Object is an Origination or Termination point, it is possible to select a Secondary Object. The secondary Object's Type can be only Destination or Destination Group. This allows selecting only a specific Destination or Destination Group for a particular Termination/Origination Point.

User to Notify

When the Object Type is a Client you have the option to Notify User(s) by email. An email goes to one of the preset email addresses:

  • Usually email is sent to NOC email address.
  • If NOC email address is not set, email is sent to Main email address.
  • If Main email address is not set, email is sent to Billing email address.
  • If Billing email address is not set, email is sent to Rates email address.
  • If none of the NOC, Main, Billing, or Rates email is set, no Alert notification email will be sent.
