32 Overview
1.3. Peripheral-Specific Terminology
The ICR supports several models of call center peripherals. Specifically,
the ICR supports the following ACDs:
Alcatel 4400
Aspect CallCenter
Ericsson ACP1000
Lucent DEFINITY ECS
NEC NEAX 2400
Nortel DMS-100, SL-100
Nortel Meridian
Rockwell Galaxy
Rockwell Spectrum
Siemens Hicom 300E (Release 9006)
Siemens Rolm 9751CBX (Release 9005)
VRUs from AT&T, Brite, Edify, IBM, InterVoice, Lucent,
Microlog, Periphonics, Tandem, and VoiceTek.

Product Description.
Each of these peripherals has its own terminology to describe the call
center. In most cases, the ICR terms map very closely to the
corresponding ACD terms. In some cases, the mapping of ICR to ACD
terms is not as precise. For example, although it might make sense to
associate each VDN on a DEFINITY ECS with an ICR service, you
could also map each hunt group to a service. Tables 1, 2, and 3
summarize the mapping of ICR call center terminology to ACD-specific
terminology.
On Rockwell Galaxy ACDs, and on Lucent DEFINITY ECS ACDs
running in EAS mode, each skill group has primary and secondary
subgroups. The ICR emulates this by automatically creating additional
skill groups for these peripheral types. In reports and scripts, you can
reference the .pri and .sec skill groups directly or you can refer to the
base skill group. The base skill group is an inclusive skill group that
organizes related primary and secondary subgroups.
