This chapter includes the following sections:
What is Avaya IP Agent for Citrix?
Avaya IP Agent is a software application with advanced telephony features for agents in a 
contact center. Agents can use it to work in the following methods
On-site at the contact center
Off-site using analog connections over a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
Through Windows Terminal Services. 
The advanced telephony features are controlled by Avaya IP Agent through its direct 
communication with an Avaya communication server.
Agents who are not located at the call center can connect to the Avaya communication server in 
the contact center and receive calls as if they were present at their contact center workstation. 
For example, if an agent cannot travel to the contact center because of transportation problems 
or weather conditions, the agent can still take calls by using Avaya IP Agent to connect to the 
Avaya communication server.
