How to use Multiterminal Desktop (MTD) Function?

MTD is a function that allows you to define multiple terminal audio devices for receiving inbound calls and one device when making outbound calls using CDT. Note that the MTD device is used as an audio device only.

The MTD function can be used with:

• CDT
• IP desk phones

Examples

Use Case Example 1

An agent uses an IP desk phone as an audio device:

1. A call arrives to a queue and is accepted by the system.
2. The call is then allocated to an agent which indicates in their CDT and IP desk phone.
3. The agent answers the call using the IP desk phone, and the call is then connected with the customer call.

In this example, the call control stays in CDT and the IP desk phone is used only as an audio device and not as an IP desk phone.

Use Case Example 2

A marketing agent is working from home with a VPN connection to the corporate network. Because the data line is too limited for audio, the agent uses mobile phone as an audio device instead.

1. The agent enters the customer number into the CDT number field and clicks the Call button.SAP Contact Center creates two call legs. The first call is to the agent’s mobile phone and the second call to the customer.
2. The agent picks the first call from the mobile phone.The first and the second call are connected, and the agent is able to use the mobile phone as the audio device.
