 +
==Configuring Genesys Softphone==
 +
Genesys Softphone installation includes a configuration file ('''&lt;Genesys Softphone Directory>/Softphone.config&gt;''') with configuration settings that are applied to the Softphone when it starts.
 +
 
 +
{{NoteFormat|You can make changes to the configuration file, but you must restart the Softphone before any of the changes take effect.}}
 +
 
 +
The configuration file is organized into ''containers''. Each container is divided into ''domains'' that are further divided into ''sections'' that hold the ''settings'' for a group of parameters. The following configuration file examples describe the settings in each container:
 +
 
 +
For the description and valid values of each parameter, see [[SPOptions|Configuration Options Reference]].
 +
===Basic container===
 +
 
 +
The [[SPOptions#Basic_Container|Basic container]] sets the Genesys Softphone user's DNs and the protocol used.
 +
 
 +
<source lang="xml" ><Container name ="Basic">
 +
    <Connectivity user ="DN0" server="Server0:Port0" protocol="Protocol"/>
 +
    <Connectivity user ="DN1" server="Server1:Port1" protocol=" Protocol"/>
 +
  </Container>
 +
</source>
 +
 
 +
{{NoteFormat|If Single sign on is used with Agent Desktop, these parameters in configuration file are not taken in account.}}
 +
 
 +
===Genesys container===
 +
The [[SPOptions#Genesys_Container|Genesys container]] sets the policy, endpoint, session, device, connector, codecs, proxy, mailbox, system, and security parameters.
 +
 
 +
==Configuring the agent's DN==
 +
 
 +
Set the following <tt>TServer</tt> section option for the DNs of the Place to which the agent is logging in:
 +
* <tt>sip-cti-control</tt> = <tt>talk,hold,dtmf</tt>
 +
 
 +
{{NoteFormat|This option is mandatory to use third-party call control on the SIP device.}}
 +
 
 +
For information about configuring DN objects, see the [[Documentation:PSAAS:Administrator:DN|Platform Administration help]].
 +
 
 +
==Configuring SIP Server==
 +
 
 +
Genesys recommends setting the following SIP Server options:
 +
*<tt> dual-dialog-enabled=true</tt> (default value)
 +
* <tt>make-call-rfc3725-flow=1</tt> (allows for better and/or simpler codec negotiation)
 +
* <tt>ring-tone-on-make-call=true</tt> (default value)
 +
* <tt>use-register-for-service-state=true</tt>
 +
For more information about these options, see the {{Repository|81fr_dep-sip.pdf|2e30d00a-05d6-4c84-a539-eb7ddcbde5f4|SIP Server Deployment Guide}}.
 +
 
 +
===Suppressing the ringtone===
 +
 
 +
The ringtone is generated for all incoming calls to Genesys Softphone.  To suppress the ringtone for third-party call control for the originating DN, configure the following SIP Server option:
 +
* <tt>make-call-alert-info=<urn:alert:service:3pcc@genesys></tt>
 +
or
 +
* <tt>make-call-alert-info=<nowiki><file://null></nowiki>;service=3pcc</tt>
 +
 
 +
{{NoteFormat|If at least one Genesys Softphone in the contact center is configured with the <tt>ringing_enabled</tt> option set to <tt>1</tt>, the SIP Server <tt>make-call-alert-info</tt> option should be set to one of the values specified above.}}

If the <Full path to Genesys Silent Configuration file> parameter is not specified, the installation uses the genesys_silent.ini file in the same directory where the setup.exe is located.
    Important
    Enclose the value of the <Full path to Genesys Silent Configuration file> parameter by apostrophes (') if the parameter contains white symbols.
  • -sl specifies the full path to the installation results file. If the <Full path to Genesys Installation Result file> parameter is not specified, the installation creates the genesys_install_result.log file in the <System TEMP folder> directory.
    Important
    Enclose the value of the <Full path to Genesys Installation Result file> parameter in apostrophes (') if the parameter contains white space characters.

The InstallShield setup.exe installation starter requires that:

  • There is no space between the /z argument and quotation mark. For example, /z"-s" is valid, while /z "-s" is not valid.
  • There is a space between the -s,-sl parameters and quotation mark. For example, /z"-s c:\temp\genesys_silent.ini" is valid, while /z "-sc:\temp\genesys_silent.ini" is not valid. For example:

setup.exe /s /z"-s 'C:\8.5.000.05\windows\b1\ip\genesys_silent.ini' -sl 'C:\GSP\silent_setup.log'".

Configuring Genesys Softphone

Genesys Softphone installation includes a configuration file (<Genesys Softphone Directory>/Softphone.config>) with configuration settings that are applied to the Softphone when it starts.

Important
You can make changes to the configuration file, but you must restart the Softphone before any of the changes take effect.

The configuration file is organized into containers. Each container is divided into domains that are further divided into sections that hold the settings for a group of parameters. The following configuration file examples describe the settings in each container:

For the description and valid values of each parameter, see Configuration Options Reference.

Basic container

The Basic container sets the Genesys Softphone user's DNs and the protocol used. 

<Container name ="Basic">
    <Connectivity user ="DN0" server="Server0:Port0" protocol="Protocol"/>
    <Connectivity user ="DN1" server="Server1:Port1" protocol=" Protocol"/>
  </Container>
Important
If Single sign on is used with Agent Desktop, these parameters in configuration file are not taken in account.

Genesys container

The Genesys container sets the policy, endpoint, session, device, connector, codecs, proxy, mailbox, system, and security parameters.

Configuring the agent's DN

Set the following TServer section option for the DNs of the Place to which the agent is logging in:

  • sip-cti-control = talk,hold,dtmf
Important
This option is mandatory to use third-party call control on the SIP device.

For information about configuring DN objects, see the Platform Administration help.

Configuring SIP Server

Genesys recommends setting the following SIP Server options:

  • dual-dialog-enabled=true (default value)
  • make-call-rfc3725-flow=1 (allows for better and/or simpler codec negotiation)
  • ring-tone-on-make-call=true (default value)
  • use-register-for-service-state=true

For more information about these options, see the SIP Server Deployment Guide.

Suppressing the ringtone

The ringtone is generated for all incoming calls to Genesys Softphone. To suppress the ringtone for third-party call control for the originating DN, configure the following SIP Server option:

  • make-call-alert-info=<urn:alert:service:3pcc@genesys>

or

  • make-call-alert-info=<file://null>;service=3pcc
Important
If at least one Genesys Softphone in the contact center is configured with the ringing_enabled option set to 1, the SIP Server make-call-alert-info option should be set to one of the values specified above.
