Note: 
In earlier releases of Unified ICM, the Configure ICM software tool was 
used to configure objects in the Unified ICM database. In Unified ICM 
4.5 and beyond, a new set of configuration tools are available. In Unified 
ICM 4.5 and greater, use the Unified ICM Software Configuration 
Manager to start the appropriate configuration tool (For example, the PG 
Explorer tool). 
3.2.1. 
89B
Peripheral Configuration 
In Unified ICM terms, the Aura Contact Center ACD itself corresponds to 
peripheral. Unified ICM treats all contact center devices (e.g., ACDs, 
PBXs, IVR systems) as peripherals. 
Depending on the version of Unified ICM you are running, use either 
Configure Unified ICM software or the PG Explorer to create a peripheral. 
Be sure to set the Available Holdoff Delay option to zero. 
Agent real time data on Aura Contact Center will work only if Enable 
Agent Reporting
 and therefore Auto Configure are checked.  
 
Note: 
Aura Contact Center PG does not support auto-configuration of agents. 
Since Agent auto-configuration and Agent reporting are mutually 
inclusive in the Peripheral configuration screen, the following work 
around needs to be performed for Agent reporting to work without the 
call router performing the actual agent configuration. On the callrouters' 
registry, go to 
 
HKey_Local_Machine/Software/Cisco Systems, 
Inc./ICM/IRS/RouterA/Router/CurrentVersion/Configuration/AutoConfig 
 
Set the value for AgentEnabled to 0. This implies that the call router will 
not perform agent auto-configuration even though auto-configuration is 
turned on. Note that the agents will have to be manually configured even 
though auto-configuration is turned on. 
3.2.2. 
90B
Peripheral Target Configuration 
A Unified ICM Peripheral Target is a network target identified by a 
Network Trunk Group and DNIS that terminates on the Meridian ACD. 
You must configure a Unified ICM Software Peripheral Target for every 
DNIS and Network Trunk Group combination through which incoming 
ACD calls arrive. You must also configure Peripheral Targets for 
translation routing. 
Depending on the version of Unified ICM you are running, use either 
Configure Unified ICM or the Peripheral Target Bulk tools to create a 
peripheral target.
