Free Practice Questions for Cisco 500-052 Exam

In Cisco Unified CCX Administration, when you add a Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) Telephony group, a CTI Route Point is created on the CUCM. A CTI Route Point is a virtual device that can receive multiple simultaneous calls and route them to a Cisco Unified CCX application by using the JTAPI protocol. A CUCM Telephony group defines the CUCM cluster, the JTAPI user, and the CTI Route Point that are associated with a Cisco Unified CCX system12

The other options are not correct:

CTI Ports: CTI Ports are virtual devices that can make or receive calls and are controlled by the JTAPI application. CTI Ports are not created when you add a CUCM Telephony group, but when you add a Cisco Unified CCX Call Control Group12

Cisco Unified CCX Call Control Group: A Cisco Unified CCX Call Control Group is a logical grouping of CTI Ports that are used by the Cisco Unified CCX system to make and receive calls. A Cisco Unified CCX Call Control Group is not created when you add a CUCM Telephony group, but when you configure the Cisco Unified CCX system parameters12

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Call Control Group: A Cisco Unified Communications Manager Call Control Group is a term that does not exist in the Cisco Unified CCX terminology.

 In a high availability over WAN deployment, the ASR or TTS servers cannot be across the WAN from the active Cisco Unified CCX site. This is because the ASR or TTS servers require a low latency connection to the Unified CCX engine, and the WAN link may introduce delays or packet loss that can affect the quality and performance of the speech recognition or text-to-speech services. Therefore, the ASR or TTS servers must be co-located with the active Unified CCX site, and they must fail over to the standby site if the active site goes down. References: Deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCXD) v6.0 - Module 1: Design a Cisco Unified Contact Center Express System Deployment - Lesson 4: High Availability and Network Design - Topic: Unified CCX High Availability over WAN1

 The number of premium seats required for a Cisco Unified Contact Center Express system is based on the maximum number of logged in agents plus the number of IVR and email ports needed. In this case, the maximum number of logged in agents is 150, the number of IVR ports needed for outbound calls is 30, and the number of email ports needed for email agents is 20. Therefore, the total number of premium seats required is 150 + 30 + 20 = 180 seats. References: Deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCXD) v6.0 - Module 1: Design a Cisco Unified Contact Center Express System Deployment - Lesson 1: Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Product Overview - Topic: Cisco Unified CCX Product Packages1

 The maximum round-trip time (RTT) between Cisco Unified CCX servers in a WAN deployment is 80 ms. This is the network requirement for deploying Unified CCX high availability over WAN, which provides site redundancy. The RTT is the time it takes for a packet to travel from one node to another and back. If the RTT exceeds 80 ms, the Unified CCX servers may not be able to communicate properly and failover may occur. The RTT can be verified by using an extended ping command on the network device closest to the Unified CCX servers, such as the access switch. The ping command should set the Layer 3 type of service (ToS) bits to ensure that the packet is sent on the same QoS-enabled path as the WAN traffic. References := Solution Design Guide for Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, Release 12.5 (1) SU2, page 10-2. Solution Design Guide for Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, Release 11.5 (1), page 10-2.

To run a 30-port outbound IVR campaign, the customer needs to purchase 30 outbound IVR ports and 15 agent seats in addition to the 200 Cisco Unified CCX Premium agent seats. This is because the outbound IVR ports are not included in the Premium package and need to be purchased separately as an add-on component1. The outbound IVR ports are used to dial out to customers and play prompts or transfer calls to agents. The outbound IVR ports are also consumed by the agents who are logged in to the outbound campaign. The ratio of outbound IVR ports to agents is 2:1, which means that for every two outbound IVR ports, one agent seat is required2. Therefore, to run a 30-port outbound IVR campaign, the customer needs 15 agent seats for the outbound agents. The customer does not need to purchase a gateway or a router, as these are network devices that are not related to the outbound IVR campaign. References := Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 12.5 Data Sheet, page4. Outbound Option Guide for Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise and Hosted Release 9.0(1), page 2-3.

A contact service queue (CSQ) is a logical grouping of agents that share similar skills. In Cisco Unified Contact Center Express, skills are assigned to CSQs, not to individual agents. Agents are associated with resource groups, which are then mapped to CSQs based on the skills required. This allows the system to route calls to the most appropriate CSQ, and then to the most qualified agent within that CSQ. References: UCCXD - Deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Express v6.0, Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Administration Guide, Release 10.0 (1)

According to the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Design Guide, Release 8.0(1), Cisco Unified CCX 8.0 can support a maximum of 400 agents when deployed with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This is the highest capacity option for Cisco Unified CCX 8.0, which requires a dedicated server for the Cisco Unified CCX Engine and a dedicated server for the Cisco Unified CCX Database. The maximum number of agents depends on the hardware configuration, the deployment model, and the features enabled. For example, if Cisco Unified CCX is deployed in a high availability mode, the maximum number of agents is reduced to 300. If Cisco Unified CCX is deployed with Cisco Unified Presence, the maximum number of agents is reduced to 250. If Cisco Unified CCX is deployed with Cisco Unified Intelligence Center, the maximum number of agents is reduced to 150. The maximum number of agents also varies for different versions of Cisco Unified CCX. For example, Cisco Unified CCX 7.0 can support a maximum of 300 agents, while Cisco Unified CCX 9.0 can support a maximum of 500 agents. References: Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Design Guide, Release 8.0(1), Chapter 2: Unified CCX Product Overview, Section 2.1: Unified CCX Product Packages, Page 151 Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Design Guide, Release 8.0(1), Chapter 3: Unified CCX Architecture and Capacity Planning, Section 3.1: Unified CCX Deployment Models, Page 252 Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Design Guide, Release 8.0(1), Chapter 3: Unified CCX Architecture and Capacity Planning, Section 3.2: Unified CCX Capacity Planning, Page 293
