Cisco Unified Mobile Agent
Cisco Unified Mobile Agent is a new feature in Cisco Unified CCE Release 7.1. It enables an agent using 
any PSTN phone and a broadband VPN connection (for agent desktop communications) to function just 
like a Unified CCE agent sitting in a formal call center and using a Cisco IP Phone monitored and 
controlled by Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) JTAPI.

Cisco Unified Mobile Agent Architecture
Cisco Unified Mobile Agent uses a pair of CTI ports that function as proxies for the mobile agent phone 
(or endpoint) and the caller phone (or endpoint).   Two CTI ports (local and remote) are required for 
every logged-in mobile agent, and the two CTI ports take the place of the Cisco IP Phone monitored and 
controlled by Unified CM JTAPI. The local CTI port DN is used by the agent at login and is where callers 
are routed when this agent is selected. The remote CTI port calls the agent either at login for a nailed-up 
connection or upon being selected for a call-by-call connection. Then, via media redirection, the CTI 
ports signal for the two VoIP endpoints to stream RTP packets directly, with no further involvement from 
the CTI ports until further call control (transfer, conference, hold, retrieve, or release) is required. Any 
subsequent call control must be performed from the agent desktop application. The PG will then transmit 
the necessary subsequent call control via JTAPI to Unified CM for the two CTI ports to do whatever is 
needed to the media of the call. (See
