2.Setting System Parameters
For full integration with MyPBX, we need to modify some system parameters in QueueMetrics-Live.
After log on to QueueMetrics-Live home page, we enter the page ‘Edit system parameters’ in the right bottom of the page.
Then modify two parameter as below:
default.hotdesking=86400
callfile.dir=tcp:admin:password@127.0.0.1 (this is according to your /etc/asterisk/manager.conf)
3.Known Agent Configuration
Agent is the member who should be in the queue. You should create agents in QueueMetrics, and assign these agents an extension for receiving incoming calls and making outgoing calls.
Figure 11
Click the bottom “Create New” to add a new agent.
Figure 12
Edit the Agent Detail in the page after Create New.
Note:
(1). The Asterisk agent code should be in the format "Agent/xxxx", please replace the “xxxx” with the existing extension number.
(2). Assign an extension number to this agent by filling in the blank “Current Terminals” with the extension number.
4.Queues Configuration
In MyPBX, we have created a queue for the call center, in the QueueMetrics side, we need to create a Queue, too.
Figure 13
Then edit the queue detail.
Figure 14
Note: if the queue number in MyPBX is 680, then the Queue(s) name in QueueMetrics should be "queue-680".
You can assign some agents to the queue by click the agent edit as below.
Figure 15
You can see the agent list, and you can assign the agent to the queue by enabling the check box in the list.
Figure 16
5.System Users Configuration
QueueMetrics allows agents to log in their own page (named Icon Page), and agents can remotely log in to a queue or log out from a queue. Before agents log in on the Icon Page, you need to create system users with the same name as the Asterisk agent code "Agent/xxxx".
Figure 17
Create a new user and edit the detail in the page below
Figure 18
Note: login should be named the same with the Asterisk agent code, and you can setup the password. then assign the user as AGENT Class.
Log in the Agent page as below,
Figure 19
Test the Features
1.Agent Log in the Queue
Log in the QueueMetrics Live System User Icon Page with the Agent name and password, you can see the Icon page below,
Figure 20
Now the Queues Logged In list is empty, you should make this agent log in at least one queue, select one queue in Available Queues list, and move it to right as below,
Figure 21
If the agent log in successfully, the queue will be in the List of Queue Logged In.
2.Agent check their own Call List
After an agent answers some calls, he/she will be able to check the call list in their user Icon page as below.

Sometimes, agents may need to leave the seat for a break. In agent page, you can pause themselves by choosing a reason, and click the “Pause” bottom.
Figure 23
When agents are in pause, the system will not ring the extension of the agent. After the agents come back to seat, and click the “Unpause” bottom to stop pause, the system will ring the agents’ phones when queue receiving the next incoming call.
4.Realtime Monitoring
Log in the system with the administrator user name and password, and click the linkage “Start realtime monitoring”, you will see the realtime monitor panel as below,

In the real-time monitoring panel, you will be able to monitor the status of Queues, processing calls and agents.
5.Spy lines
Sometimes, the System administrator may need to spy a processing call between a client and an agent for improving the service level of the call center. When there is a processing call, in the real-time monitoring panel, you can monitor the call.
Figure 25
You can move the cursor to the end of “Calls being processed” list, you can see a pop up option menu, then click the “Monitor now”, a pop up window will show, then you can fill in you extension number and monitor the line.
