SCP. See Service Control Point.
Script
A defined procedure that the ICR can execute. The ICR supports two
types of scripts: routing scripts to determine where to route a call and
administrative scripts that perform background processing. A script
consists of executable nodes, connections, routing targets, and
comments.
Script Editor
A tool that lets you create, modify, view, or monitor routing scripts and
administrative scripts. A routing script is a define d procedure that is
executed by the ICR to determine how a call is routed. An administrative
script is a defined procedure that is executed as specific times to perform
background processing.
Security classes. See Classes.
Service
A particular type of processing that the caller requires. For example, in a
software company’s call center, a caller might have a question about
installing software. This caller would be directed to the Technical
Support service. A service is associated with a peripheral (and is
therefore sometimes called a peripheral service). See also Enterprise
service.
Service array
A collection of service which might be associated with different VRUs,
but are all associated with the same Peripheral Gateway (PG). You can
route calls to a service array and let the PG choose among the member
services.
Service Control Point (SCP)
A node (computer) in the IXC signaling network. The ICR connects to
an SCP within the IXC’s network.
Service level
The percentage of incoming calls that are answered within a specified
threshold. Several slightly different calculations can be used for the
service level; specifically, abandoned calls can be accounted in different
ways. The ICR keeps track of two different service levels: the
peripheral service level is the service level as calculated by the
peripheral; the ICR service level is the service level as calculated by the
ICR.
Service level event
A service level event for a call occurs when the service level time
expires while the call is in queue or the call is either answered or
abandoned before the service level time expires. When performing
