The Contact Center Enterprise (CCE) Solution Compatibility Matrix includes all the Cisco CCE solutions and component compatibility information. This compatibility matrix specifies all supported configurations and versions for Release 12.6(x). The information in this compatibility matrix supersedes compatibility information in any other CCE documentation. If the Compatibility Matrix does not state a configuration or version, then it does not support it.


Note


  • Make sure that your Router, Logger, and AW are in the same version as your PG or in a version that is higher than your PG.

  • The Compatibility Matrix specifies all supported third-party software (such as Nuance and Informix) and its versions. Support for these software versions and their interoperability depends on the release cycles (patches and upgrades) of the third-party software. For example, support for ESXi depends on VMware release cycles.

  • Packaged CCE: In Release 12.6(x), the multistage upgrade support is backward compatible with Release 12.0 only. For all releases prior to 12.0, all components must be on the same release.

    Exception: Cisco Unified CM (CUCM) can continue to be on an earlier compatible release for an off-box solution deployment.

  • Support for a CUCM release is inclusive of all updates.

  • For details on the browsers and the languages that are supported by Cisco Webex Experience Management, see Experience Management.

  • Upgrade all the solution components to experience the new features delivered as part of a particular solution release version. Upgrading only the component that delivers the new feature may not be sufficient in all cases. For more information on upgrade paths, see the CCE Upgrade Flowcharts in the respective Contact Center Enterprise Installation and Upgrade Guides.

  • IP IVR 12.5(1), IP IVR 12.5(1) SU1 and IP IVR 12.5(1) SU2 are compatible with CCE 12.6(x).

Notes

  • The phone models that are end-of-sale and end-of-software-maintenance will continue to work with Contact Center Enterprise solutions. The phone models that are end-of-support are still compatible with Contact Center Enterprise solutions, but they are neither tested nor supported by Cisco.

  • General: Only the Cisco IP Phones listed in the preceding table are supported as contact center agent phones. As an alternative, you can deploy the Mobile Agent solution to enable the contact center to use any phone as an agent phone.

  • General: The Join Across Line (JAL) and Direct Transfer Across Line (DTAL) phone features aren’t supported, and must be disabled on phones that come packaged with these features and local CTI ports (LCP) for Mobile Agent.

  • General: For any phone that allows Single-Line Mode, you can use Shared Line on a non-ACD line. You must have your PG in Single-Line Mode (set the Agent Phone Line Control setting to Single Line).

  • General: Other than call initiation, all other call control on the non-ACD extensions is supported from multiline capable desktops. Calls initiated from the hard phone can be controlled after initial call setup.

  • 78xx: If Cisco Finesse IPPA agents use 78xx series phone, you must either disable the Cisco Finesse IPPA Inactivity Timeout feature or increase the timeout in the range of 120 seconds to one day (86400 seconds), so that the agent doesn’t get logged out of Cisco Finesse IPPA even if the agent is on any other screen.

  • 88xx phones are supported only with desktop controls in the Standard Line mode. If both desktop and device controls are required, use the Enhanced Line mode.

  • Webex:

  • Jabber:

Endpoints Supported for Callers Only

Callers outside of the enterprise's network can use the following endpoints:

  • Jabber for iOS

  • Jabber for Android

Single Sign On (SSO) Identity Providers (IdPs)

The following AD FS versions are supported with this Unified CCE release:

  • AD FS 5.0: Windows Server 2019

  • AD FS 4.0: Windows Server 2016

  • AD FS 3.0: Windows Server 2012 R2

Besides the AD FS versions listed above, Unified CCE supports all SAML 2.0 compliant IdPs.

See the documentation of your IdP for details on configuring the IdP in CCE.

Notes

  • CCMP and Cisco Unified Contact Center Domain Manager (CCDM), Release 12.6 support Microsoft AD FS 2012 R2 and 2016 with WS-Federation via JSON Web Token (JWT).

    However, user authentication access for CCMP and CCDM can be provided by one of the supported IdPs via Federated Trust with Microsoft AD FS. Federated Trust is supported per Microsoft AD FS and third-party IdP documentation and support.

  • Kerberos is supported for single-domain authentication (non-federated environments).

  • For ECE:

    • Agent-based users have the same compatibility as Cisco IDS.

    • Supervisors outside Cisco Finesse support any SAML 2.0 complaint IDP.

Load Balancers

These Cisco components support third-party load balancers in redirect mode.

  • Unified CCE

  • Unified CVP

  • Unified Intelligence Center

  • Finesse

  • Enterprise Chat and Email

Third-party load balancers must meet these requirements:

  • Both SSL offloading and SSL pass through must be supported

  • Load Balancer High Availability

  • Persistence - cookie-insert

  • Distribution algorithm - Round-robin

See these documents for the interoperability notes and any known caveats of F5 Big-IP and Citrix NetScalar 1000v:


Note


For specific interfaces where you can use load balancers in your deployment, see the Solution Design Guide for Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/customer-collaboration/unified-contact-center-enterprise/products-implementation-design-guides-list.html.

Avaya Considerations
  • Avaya changed names from DEFINITY to MultiVantage to Avaya Communications Manager (ACM) to Avaya Aura Communications Manager (AACM).

  • Packaged CCE 12.6 versions support Avaya Peripheral Gateways for AACM in the 4000 and 12000 Agent deployments only.

  • Real-Time Agent (RTA) 5.0.5 and 6.0 enhanced functionality (60 skills per agent and 2000 skill groups per system) are not supported by ICM.

  • ICM does not support more than 12000 active associations on a single system.

  • All Call Management System (CMS) versions are supported as long as a supported RTA is used.

  • Cisco supports the Avaya S8300, S8400, S85XX, S87XX, and S88XX Servers in support of ACM.

  • Cisco supports the general use of Avaya IP Phones.

  • Although Avaya stopped supporting the CVLAN interface in 2012, Unified CCE still uses this interface to communicate with Avaya products. Note that 12.6(1) is the last supported release in the 12.6 release train for the CVLAN interface.

  • Avaya Multi-Application Platform for DEFINITY (MAPD) is not supported.

  • Support for third-party ACD clients, SDKs, and interfaces integrated with ICM stops when the third-party ACD manufacturer ends mainstream support.

  • Ten-digit Agent extensions and Agent IDs are supported from ICM 9.0(3) and later that have ACM 6.2 and later, AES 6.2 and later, and CMS R16 with RTA 6.0 pl: 13g.

Notes on Avaya Communications Manager Support

Avaya Product Support Notice patch PSN020249u is required for ACM 7.0 (x) and above. For details, see the Product Support Notice at https://downloads.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/101020687.

AES Server and CVLAN/TSAPI Client Support
AES Server CVLAN Client Supported TSAPI Client Supported ICM/Packaged CCE 12.6
6.3 (x) to 8.1(x) Yes Yes2 Yes
2 Starting ICM Release 12.6(2), Cisco recommends that you install TSAPI client library version 10.1 on the Avaya Peripheral Gateway machine as we have refreshed the TAESPIM using the TSAPI 10.1 SDK. If you are on the ICM Release 12.6(1) or lower, you must install the TSAPI client library version that is the same as the AES server.
Notes on AES Server and CVLAN/TSAPI Client Support

ICM/Packaged CCE 12.6 supports all CVLAN Client and TSAPI Client versions currently supported by Avaya.


Note


Support for an ACM or AES version depends on the Avaya release cycles (patches and upgrades). For more details on supported versions, refer Avaya documentation.

12.6(1) is the last supported release in the 12.6 release train for the Unified ICM PG integration with Avaya Communications Manager using the ECS PIM / CVLAN interface PG. For more information, refer to the CVLAN to TSAPI Migration chapter in the Cisco Unified ICM ACD Supplement for Avaya Communication Manager, Release 12.6(1).
