Call Center Regions

Learn how to set up and manage multiple call center regions within your account to optimize connectivity and communication. This article covers key steps, including viewing available regions, checking network metrics, adding new regions, and assigning users to the best server locations.

With the new Call Center Regions feature, you can configure and manage multiple regions within your CommPeak Dialer or Cloud PBX account. Each region corresponds to a dedicated FreeSWITCH server, allowing users to connect to a server with the best network parameters for their physical location.

This setup reduces latency, leading to faster call connections, clearer voice quality, and more stable communication. Additionally, administrators can quickly assign or reassign agents to different regions as needed, ensuring optimal call routing and performance.

If you wish to enable Call Center Regions, contact the support team or your account manager.

❗️

IMPORTANT

If managers want to whisper to agent calls, they must be in the same region as the agents.

Available Regions

The Call Center Regions page shows three available regions. You can check connectivity and link the region to your tenant.

To view the regions available to your account:

  1. Go to Settings > General Settings and then switch to the Call Center Regions tab.

  2. The system will start calculating ping and jitter stats for three selected server locations closest to you.

    After a brief moment, the system will display the calculated ping and jitter values, highlighted in different colors. Green indicates optimal connectivity, orange means a neutral status, and red warns of bad connectivity.

If your desired region is not displayed and you would like to include it, contact your Dialer or CloudPBX manager.

You can move yourself and your agents to a region with better connectivity. To do this, first add a new region and then update the user settings.

Assign Users to Regions

If you use several call center regions, you can assign users to any region as you wish. You can do this by adjusting settings for an individual user or for multiple users simultaneously.

NOTE

When a user’s region settings are changed, it may take up to two minutes for the update to take effect.

To assign users to regions:

  1. On the Call Center Regions page, find the region in the list of active regions. Then click on the number of users in the Users column. This will redirect you to the User Management page.
