Simple Network Management Protocol

A systematic way of monitoring and managing a computer network. The SNMP model consists of four components:

!

!

!

managed nodes, which are any device, such as hosts, routers, and printers, capable of communicating status to the outside world via an SNMP management process called an SNMP Agent

management stations, which are computers running special network management software that interact with the Agents for status

management information, which is conveyed through exact specifications and format of status specified by the MIB

!Management Protocol or SNMP, which sends messages called protocol data units (PDUs)

site

A system using Symposium Call Center Server that can be accessed using SMI.

skillset

A group of capabilities or knowledge required to answer a specific type of call.

skillset intrinsic

A script element that inserts information about a skillset in a script. Skillset intrinsics return values such as skillsets, integers, and agent IDs. These values are then used in queuing commands. See also call intrinsic, intrinsic, time intrinsic, traffic intrinsic.

skillset priority

An attribute of a skillset assignment that determines the order in which calls from different skillsets are presented to an agent. When an agent becomes available, calls might be waiting for several of the skillsets to which the agent belongs. The server presents the call queued for the skillset for which the agent has the highest priority.

standby

In skillset assignments, a property that grants an agent membership in a skillset, but makes the agent inactive for that skillset.
