<strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> Customer Voice Portal (<strong>Unified</strong> CVP) Design Considerations<br />

<strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> Customer Voice Portal (<strong>Unified</strong> CVP) Design<br />

Considerations<br />

The <strong>Unified</strong> CVP can be deployed with <strong>Unified</strong> CCE as an alternative to <strong>Unified</strong> IP IVR (CRS) for call<br />

treatment and queuing. <strong>Unified</strong> CVP is different from <strong>Unified</strong> IP IVR (CRS) in that it does not rely on<br />

<strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager for JTAPI call control. <strong>Unified</strong> CVP uses H.323 for call control and is used<br />

in front of <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager or other PBX systems as part of a hybrid <strong>Unified</strong> CCE or<br />

migration solution. (See Figure 3-9.)<br />

<strong>Cisco</strong> Voice Gateway<br />

The <strong>Cisco</strong> Voice Gateway is typically used to terminate TDM PSTN trunks and calls to transform<br />

them into IP-based calls on an IP network. <strong>Unified</strong> CVP uses specific H.323 voice gateways to<br />

enable more flexible call control models outside of the <strong>Cisco</strong> <strong>Unified</strong> CallManager MGCP control<br />

model. H.323 allows the <strong>Unified</strong> CVP to integrate with multiple IP and TDM architectures for<br />

<strong>Unified</strong> CCE. <strong>Unified</strong> CVP-controlled voice gateways also provide additional functionality using<br />

the <strong>Cisco</strong> IOS built-in Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML) Browser to provide caller<br />

treatment and call queuing on the voice gateway without having to move the call to a physical IVR<br />

device. The gateway can also use the Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) interface to add<br />

automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) functions on the gateway as well<br />

under <strong>Unified</strong> CVP control.<br />
