As our agency customers require telecommuting options to facilitate a mobile workforce, DTS has implemented a solution for Cisco Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) users; and, until migrated to Cisco VoIP, customers currently using the Avaya platform now have an option for telecommuting, specifically: Avaya Softphone.

Softphones run as a workstation application that allows users to make/receive phone calls from a computer connected to the State network.

This product description outlines the implementation of Avaya softphones on the State network.

Agency Application

DTS has the ability to enable the use of softphones on the State network as an alternative to a physical telephone handset as an end point for agencies’ voice communication requirements.

Risks and Mitigations

• If a power outage and/or a loss of internet connectivity occurs at your office/home, then you will not be able to dial 911 from an Avaya softphone, or any other phone number.
• If you place a 911 call from your softphone, then the 911 system will connect and dispatch responders to the office location that is associated with your softphone phone number. If you are telecommuting and are not in the office, you should not be dialing 911 from the application.
• It is preferable to place 911 calls from a desk phone or from a cellular phone rather than from a softphone.
• When dialing 911 from your softphone, be prepared to provide your callback number and your address (i.e., physical location).

Hardware Requirements

Softphone performance may be compromised by desktop limitations. The following hardware requirements are the minimum requirements for the softphone to function properly. Please ensure that adequate PC resources are available for other user tasks. It is recommended that users have an Ethernet cable connection rather than a wireless local area network (LAN) connection for optimal audio quality. See requirements below.

Softphones are configured as part of the data LAN. DTS cannot guarantee quality of service for every call made or received using a softphone. Quality may vary depending on headset selected; the capacity of a user’s PC; the application(s) running on the user’s PC; the traffic and bandwidth availability on the network; and/or other factors, such as latency or noise on the line.

The hours of support required for Avaya Softphones  are listed below.

Product Features and Descriptions

Softphones run as an application that allows users to make/receive phone calls from a computer connected to the State network.

Avaya IP Softphone

From the Avaya IP Softphone window, you can:

• Manage multiple call appearances
• Make calls

Application Availability

Application availability measures DTS’s efforts to ensure that agency key business applications meet the percentage of availability goals identified in each agency’s service level agreement. DTS will determine application availability based upon the collective measurement of the configuration items (both hardware and software) that are required in order to support the agency business services applications. These metrics will be reported each month, by agency, and will be presented in a cumulative report showing DTS’s efforts over several months. These reports will then be posted on the DTS Metrics Web page at https://dts.utah.gov/metrics/index.php.

Table Note: *Times exclude those tickets in a “Pending” status waiting for a known bug fix.

Resolution Time

Resolution time measures DTS’s efforts to resolve customer incidents within the timelines set below based on urgent, high, medium, and low priorities. These metrics will be reported each month, by agency, and will be presented in a cumulative report showing DTS’s efforts over several months. These reports will then be posted on the DTS Metrics Web page at https://dts.utah.gov/metrics/index.php.

Initial Response

Initial response measures DTS’s efforts to respond to customer incidents within the timelines set below based on urgent, high, medium, and low priorities. These metrics will be reported each month, by agency, and will be presented in a cumulative report showing DTS’s efforts over several months. These reports will then be posted on the DTS Metrics Web page at https://dts.utah.gov/metrics/index.php.  

First Contact Resolution

First contact resolution measures DTS’s efforts to resolve customer incidents on a customer’s initial contact with either our help desk or a technical specialist. These metrics will be reported each month, by agency, and will be presented in a cumulative report showing DTS’s efforts over several months.

Cisco Singlewire Informacast “Paging-Through-the-Phone” (PTTP) is a feature that allows DTS agency customers with Cisco IP Phones to place a paging announcement over their IP Phone’s speaker (speakerphone capability is required).  DTS customers can request the creation of PTTP paging zone(s) to which IP Phones are assigned. Paging announcements can be heard by users while on-hook (not on a call) or while off-hook (on a call).  

Purpose                                                                                                         

As DTS migrates to Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, customers have an option to purchase from a variety of “end-points” or telephone handsets—and even a softphone. DTS has migrated approximately 9,100 employees to VoIP services.

Softphones run as a workstation application that allows users to make/receive phone calls from a computer connected to a VoIP enabled network.

This product description outlines the implementation of IP softphones on the state network.

Agency Application

DTS has the ability to enable the use of softphones on the state network as an alternative to purchasing a VoIP telephone handset as an end-point for agencies’ voice communication requirements. Cisco Jabber is the only supported softphone client.

Risks and Mitigations

If a power outage and/or a loss of Internet connectivity occurs at your office, then you will not be able to dial 911 from a Cisco Jabber softphone.

If you place a 911 call from your softphone, then the 911 system will connect and dispatch responders to the office location that is associated with your softphone phone number.

When dialing 911 from your softphone, be prepared to provide your call back number and your address (physical location).

It is preferable to place 911 calls from a desk phone or from a cellular phone rather than from a softphone.

Softphone performance may be compromised by desktop limitations. The following hardware requirements are the minimum requirements for the softphone to function properly. Please ensure adequate PC resources are available for other user tasks. It is recommended that users have an Ethernet cable connection rather than a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) connection for optimal audio quality. See requirements below:

Minimum Hardware Requirements

Softphones are configured as part of the data LAN. Quality of service (QoS) settings can be applied; however, DTS cannot guarantee quality of every call made or received using a softphone. Quality may vary depending on headset selected, capacity of user’s PC, application(s) running on user’s PC, traffic and bandwidth availability on the network, and/or other factors such as latency or noise on the line.

Supported Headsets for Use with Softphones

Product Features and Descriptions

Softphones run as an application that allows users to make/receive phone calls from a computer connected to a VoIP enabled network.

Rates and Billing

Customers who exclusively use a softphone will be billed one (1) Urate: $32.72 per softphone and a Jabber rate: $2.73 per month.

Customers who have both a standard desk phone and a softphone will only be charged for one Urate: $32.72 and the Jabber rate: $2.73 per month.

Ordering and Provisioning

Customers requesting IP Softphone services, should submit a request via ServiceNow “Get Help” at https://dts.utah.gov.  Select the “Online Support” option and request assistance with IP Softphone.

Customer Satisfaction Targets

Purpose

DTS has approximately 3000 IP Phones with video capability: DWS and DHS have purchased the majority of these IP (Internet Protocol) phones within the Executive Branch.

This document outlines the implementation of IP Phone video on the Local Area Network (LAN).

LAN Application

DTS enables video on IP Phones via campus LANs where the IP Phones reside.  A campus LAN refers to co-located buildings served by one wide area network connection.  IP Phones use video on the same LAN, which typically means the same campus.  The LAN consists of networking switches that by definition have abundant bandwidth (almost unlimited), so there is little risk of using video on the LAN.

IP video service will only be turned on for specific site locations and be used for communication of people at that site only and not for communication between remote offices connected by wide area network circuits.

Risks and Mitigations

On larger LAN campuses where multiple switches are connected by trunks and/or channel groups, there is a risk that a connecting trunk may have traffic congestion with the addition of video traffic.  This risk can be easily mitigated by turning on Quality of Service (QoS) on the trunk interfaces or switch ports of the channel groups.  The risk is low, so implementation of QoS on the switches can be either proactive or retroactive.  Retroactive, meaning if there is a problem, Network Operations can quickly add QoS on the trunks.

Cisco LAN Video Product Features

• Point-to-Point Video
  • LAN ONLY
• Display Resolution
  • Dependent upon sets purchased by agencies.

Note: Support and maintenance for handsets are provided by vendor; and, calls for support are directed to the vendor’s support desk.

Ordering and Provisioning

• Customers requesting Video LAN services, should submit a request via ServiceNow “Get Help” at https://dts.utah.gov. Select the “Online Support” option and request assistance with Cisco Video LAN. Your request will be routed to the appropriate Voice Solutions Engineer (VSE) to begin the process. Requests for phones and product information will be provided by the VSE.
• Voice Operations can enable video on a per site or per building location once a request is submitted via Servicenow and routed to the appropriate VSE for review and consultation.
• Agencies are not required to supply a list of each individual user to have the IP video traffic enabled on the local area network.
• Agencies can submit a list of locations where they would like the service enabled. Video traffic will be confined to each specific site so communication via video between sites will not be enabled.

Troubleshooting

• If you have video support issues, please request assistance via ServiceNow “Get Help” at https://dts.utah.gov

Note: Video Endpoints (displays and sets) are supported by the vendor. All calls for support are directed to the vendor’s support desk.
