    摘要: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to contact center management, using a data communications server. According to a specific example, the data communications server includes one or more computer processor circuits coupled to memory circuits and configured to interface with a plurality of remotely-situated client entities. The data communications server may be configured and arranged to monitor a plurality of communications placed to target recipients in a first communications-based campaign of a first client entity among the plurality of remotely-situated client entities, and to determine a disposition of each of the plurality of communications based at least on data received and relating to the plurality of communications. Based at least in part on the disposition of the plurality of communications from the first communications-based campaign, data communications server may generate a contact list of target recipients for a second communications-based campaign associated with a second remotely-situated client entity.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods concerning routing and processing of calls in a server are disclosed, and involving a processing circuit communicatively coupled to a server that routes calls (e.g., data communications) for a plurality of end-users and generates call event messages for the routed calls. The processing circuit generates call summary data and evaluates the call summary data to identify a set of incoming calls to the server that were missed and have not been returned by the end-users. Certain of the calls are checked relative to a secondary data source and respective priorities for the set of incoming calls are ascribed for further processing, and some having a higher priority.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for bridging communications between a private network and a public network. A mapping that associates a first set of IP addresses of endpoints in the private network with a second set of IP addresses of endpoints in the public network is provided which enables communications between the private network and public network for network-address-translation (NAT). In response to a data packet having a first IP address of the first set of IP addresses, the data packet is used to determine whether the local line should be accessed. In response to an indication that the local line should be accessed, the identifier among the second set of IP addresses may be used to activate bridging (e.g., ATB) circuit and redirect a call associated with the data packet by passing the data packet through the ATB circuit.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for client-based control of revising caller identifications (IDs) for communications between a private network and a public network. An apparatus including a telecommunications-providing server and processing circuit that communicates client-specific sets of data over an interface protocol. The telecommunications-providing server revises a caller ID for a VoIP call based on the client-specific sets of data, an identifier that corresponds to a requesting endpoint, and a geographic region determined from the call request. Further, the telecommunications-providing server causes control data to be sent to activate an analog-telephone bridging circuit and redirect the VoIP call by obtaining a dial tone and passes at least a subset of the data packet through the analog-telephone bridging circuit for connecting over the local line. The subset of the data packet includes the revised caller ID which is a local number identified by the determined geographic region.

    摘要: A system includes a plurality of SIP servers that are configured and arranged to provide services for a respective set of endpoints. A monitor server having at least one processor circuit receives connectivity status of the respective set of endpoint devices based on registration status provided by the endpoints to the SIP servers. Based upon the received connectivity status, endpoints having connectivity problems are parsed into subgroups. Based upon the parsed endpoints, potential problem sources for the connectivity problems of the parsed endpoints are identified. A monitor device having at LAN interface circuit connected to the LAN and at least one processor circuit receives the command from the monitor server and performs a diagnostic test on the LAN. Results from the at least one diagnostic test are provided to the monitor server.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for display dependent analysis of call data in an IBPX. In an example embodiment, an apparatus communicatively coupled to an IPBX server is configured to route VoIP calls in the IPBX. An interface circuit is configured to selected parameters of interest based on capabilities of a set of devices and generate subscription requests to subscribe the devices to the parameters of interest. A first processing circuit is configured to generate call summary metrics from call event messages for calls routed by the IPBX server. A second processing circuit subscribes a device identified in the subscription request to the selected set of parameters of interest identified in the subscription request. The second processing circuit evaluates call summary metrics for each parameter of interest subscribed to by the devices and provides results of the evaluation to devices that are subscribed to the parameter of interest.
