Generic Unified CCE Desktop Components
In the Unified CCE solution, the Peripheral Gateway may be deployed in either a simplex or duplex 
configuration. (Simplex mode is not supported for production environments.) Duplex configurations 
provide redundant desktop services for failover recovery support. These systems are typically identified 
as the primary, or A-side, and the backup, or B-side. For production deployments, a duplex configuration 
is required.
CTI Object Server
The CTI Object Server (CTI OS) is a high-performance, scalable, fault-tolerant, server-based solution 
for deploying CTI applications. CTI OS is a required component for CTI Toolkit desktop and Cisco 
Agent Desktop (CAD) solutions and is Cisco's latest version of the CTI implementation.
Communications from the desktop applications, such as agent state change requests and call control, are 
passed to the CTI OS server running on the Cisco Unified Peripheral Gateway. CTI OS serves as a single 
point of integration for CAD desktops, CTI Toolkit desktops, and third-party applications such as 
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, data mining, and workflow solutions.
The CTI Object Server connects to CTI Server via TCP/IP and forwards call control and agent requests 
to CTI Server, which in turn forwards to the Open Peripheral Controller (OPC). From there, depending 
on the type of request, OPC will forward to either the CCM Peripheral Interface Manager (PIM) or to 
the CCE Central Controller. 
Requests initiated from the desktop application that affect the agent state are sent to the CCE Central 
Controller, while requests initiated from the desktop application that affect call control are sent to the 
CCM PIM. The Unified CCE Central Controller monitors the agent state so that it knows when it can 
and cannot route calls to that agent and can report on that agent's activities.
