For more information, see Cisco Unified IP
Phone Guide, Basic Call Handling.
Agent Greeting Allows an agent or administrator to create and play
a prerecorded greeting automatically at the
beginning of a call, such as a customer call, before
the agent begins the conversation with the caller.
An Agent can prerecord a single greeting or
multiple ones as needed and create and update
them.
When a customer calls, both callers hear the
prerecorded greeting. The agent can remain on
mute until the greeting ends or answer the call over
the greeting.
All codecs supported for the phone are supported
for Agent Greeting calls.
To enable Agent Greeting in the Cisco Unified CM
Administration application, choose Device >
Phone, locate IP Phone that you want to configure.
Scroll to the Device Information Layout pane and
set Builtin Bridge to On or Default.
If Builtin Bridge is set to Default, in the
Cisco
Unified CM Administration application,
choose System > Service Parameter and select
the appropriate Server and Service. Scroll to the
Clusterwide Parameters (Device - Phone) pane and
set Builtin Bridge Enable to On.
