External voice DNs are sourced from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) in a CCE Dial Plan. The CUCM is the primary source of all external voice DNs and is used to define the dial plan rules and to manage the routing of incoming and outgoing calls. The CUCM also stores the external voice DNs, which can then be used in the CCE Dial Plan to route incoming and outgoing calls.

The telephony deployment between a TDM trunk and a VOIP is a voice gateway (VGW). A voice gateway is a hardware or software device that acts as a bridge between a TDM trunk and a VOIP network. It allows TDM and VOIP calls to be connected and terminated, and can also provide additional features such as call routing, call forwarding, call waiting, and call recording. CUCM, CUBE, and CUSP are not involved in this type of deployment.

Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) is a network element that provides a number of features for securing and controlling voice, video, and data communications when Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP) are used.
NAT for address hiding: CUBE provides Network Address Translation (NAT) capabilities that allow you to hide the internal IP addresses of the CVP and CUCM servers from the public Internet. This is useful for security and compliance reasons, as it makes it harder for hackers to identify and attack these servers.
Demarcation point between networks: CUBE acts as a demarcation point between the customer network and the service provider network. This allows for secure and controlled communication between the two networks.
Normalize SIP messages using SIP profiles: CUBE can normalize SIP messages using SIP profiles, which allows it to ensure that incoming SIP messages conform to a specific format and contain the necessary headers and parameters. This can help to improve the reliability and security of SIP-based communications.
Silent Monitor inbound voice calls: CUBE does not provide silent monitor feature, it is a feature of CUCM that allows a supervisor to listen in on an agent’s call without the agent or the caller knowing.
Record calls by forking the media using build-in-bridge: CUBE does not provide this feature, it is a feature of CUCM that allows for call recording by forking the media through a built-in bridge.

The call is assigned to a call type in the PCCE system when the call is first post-routed from Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (Unified CVP). The call type is determined by the data in the Cisco TCD table [1]. The call type is then used to guide the call routing scripts and determine how the call is routed to an agent [2].

The WebServicesManager is responsible for managing the secure communication between the CVP servers and the clients, and it requires a valid Java Keystore to function properly. Restarting the service after making changes to the Keystore ensures that the changes take effect. The other services listed (Cisco CVP Call server, Cisco CVP VXML server, and Client license service) are not related to the Java Keystore and do not require restarting after making changes to it.

The SAML Certificate Expiry details can be checked in the PCCE Web Administration Manager (S.RO.G) under the Features -> Single Sign-On menu. This menu can be used to view the certificate details, such as the issuer, validity period, and expiry date. This can be useful for ensuring that the certificate does not expire before its intended use.

Two types of upgrades available for CCE are Technology Refresh and Standard. Technology Refresh upgrades replace outdated hardware and software components with the latest versions, while Standard upgrades include features and bug fixes.

The signed certificate that is less administration in environments with many servers, such as CCE, is the Certificate Authority (CA) signed certificate. This type of certificate is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA), which eliminates the need to manually manage each server’s certificate. The CA signed certificate is also more secure than a self-signed or third-party signed certificate, as the CA has verified the identity of the certificate’s owner and can revoke it if necessary. Security Authority (SA) signed certificates are not commonly used in CCE environments.

Monitor Mode is a feature of the Packaged CCE Script Editor that allows you to view the flow of data through the script. This can be used to troubleshoot any issues with the script and ensure that it is functioning properly. Edit Mode is used to edit the Script, Quick Edit Mode is used to quickly edit basic script elements, and Browse Mode is used to view the data elements available in the Script.
