2.2 Eastern Municipal Water District Profile


Since its formation in 1950, Eastern Municipal Water District has matured from a small,
primarily agricultural-serving agency, to one whose major demands come from
domestic customers.
Authorized under the Municipal Water District Act of 1911, EMWDs duties and
responsibilities are further delineated in the California Water Code. In 1951, EMWD
annexed to The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD).
As with many other public entities, EMWD is authorized to exercise the power of
eminent domain, to levy and collect taxes, to fix, revise and collect rates or other charges.
The district may also issue bonds, borrow money and incur indebtedness.
Municipal water and sewer rates are not subject to regulation by the Public Utilities
Commission of California. EMWD customers instead are represented by a board of five
directors. They are elected by registered voters to four-year terms in divisions
representing comparably sized populations.
The population within the current 555-square-mile service area is about 630,000.
EMWDs operating budget for 2005/2006 is $145 million with net assets of
approximately $1.4 billion.

2.3 Project Overview - Proposed Solution


As with any new technology, occasional updates and/or upgrades are necessary in
order to stay current, to increase functionality, maintain or improve interoperability,
reliability, and/or to enhance the overall end-user experience. In this case, the primary
reasons for the upgrade include support for server virtualization and consolidation,
unified computing system platform support, improved reliability, high availability,
increased scalability, compatibility support for newer Windows applications and
operating systems, a whole host of new & enhanced telephony feature functionality
providing an overall improved end-user experience.
This project provides for upgrading all of the various UC applications to either to v9,x
by leveraging active UCSS/maintenance support/subscription contracts that EMWD
has in place today, providing for free major software level upgrade entitlement(s) from
Cisco and/or from other technology solution providers.
The various UC applications involved include: Cisco Communications Manager, Unity
Messaging, Presence, Emergency Responder, MeetingPlace Express, Contact Center
Express, Attendant Consoles, Metropolis - Call Accounting, IP Celerate IP Paging,
Inova - wall board application, along with various other supporting infrastructure such
as Cisco voice gateways located at all of the EMWD locations.
The overall upgrade process will involve many inter-related UC applications in use
today that are interdependent upon one another. As such the upgrade will require &
include a carefully planned out implementation & acceptance testing phase.
In order to minimize the risk of any potentially prolonged service outage, a parallel
UC/telephony environment will be provisioned alongside the production environment
for the most critical UC applications involved so that extensive testing can be conducted

prior to the actual switch over from the current production environment to the newly
upgraded environment.
The newly upgraded environment will leverage new server hardware technology from
Cisco called Unified Computing System. UCS represents the latest in server technology
from Cisco & provides many ROI/TCO benefits over traditional server technology. As
such, UCS will provide a reduction in physical server requirements, increased
scalability, an overall lower cost to maintain, lower power & cooling, less physical space
requirements, and so on.
The main UC applications in production today such as CUCM, Connection, CUPS, CER,
and UCCX will be distributed across two or more separate UCS C-series platforms for
high availability/redundancy purposes. All hardware will be centrally located at
EMWDs main data center location.
As part of this overall upgrade, the current Contact Center Express (UCCX) system will
be upgraded to v9.x Among many new feature enhancements, UCCX v9 includes a new
reporting interface called Cisco Unified Intelligence Center (CUIC) that
replaces/improves upon the current reporting system based on Crystal Reporting. In
addition, the existing KnoahSoft agent call recording application/workforce
management system will be replaced with a new recording/WFM solution from
Callabrio. Callabrio provides a full-featured workforce management/agent recording
solution ideal for agent performance tracking, scheduling, and forecasting.
As part of this upgrade, the current EOS/EOL MeetingPlace Express (MPE) system will
be replaced with the new Cisco WebEx Meetings Server (CWMS) application providing
for a fully on-premise, secure web-conferencing /collaboration platform for EMWD
users to schedule, host, attend audio, web, & video conferences/on-line meetings with
internal/external participates. The system supports iPad devices, VOIP streaming,
record & playback of meetings, integration with Outlook/Exchange for scheduling, AD
integration for Single Sign On, and much more.
The upgrade solution will also introduce a record on demand feature for a small
department of users located outside of the traditional call center groups, by leveraging
an add-on capability of an existing application called IP Celerate/IP Paging. This add-on
software module called IPstudio will provide up to 10 sessions initially so that users
of this department can press a record key on their IP phones in order to record any
phone call at the users discretion.
Finally the upgrade will include a Jabber implementation for a select user group for
EMWD to test & evaluate the power of Cisco collaboration over a multitude of user
devices including mobile devices.
The overall upgrade will help EMWD continue their tradition of taking advantage of
technology to improve the overall user experience, increase overall productivity, &
ultimately improve the quality of service provided to their customers.
This SOW provides a high-level overview of the various
components/tasks/responsibilities involved.

3 Solution Overview
Nexus has made every effort to detail any assumptions, outstanding caveats, and other
considerations within this document, based on our current understanding of Eastern
Municipal Water Districts requirements and the UC existing environment. This section
should be carefully reviewed by all parties to ensure accuracy and completeness of the
information provided.
Based on pre-sales meetings & conversations between Nexus and the Eastern Municipal
Water District, Nexus perceives the following about Eastern Municipal Water District.
3.1.1 Current Environment
From a telephony perspective, EMWD currently has various Cisco and other solution
provider UC applications in place that together comprise their overall communications
environment. These various applications include: CUCM version 6.1.5.1, an older/no
longer supported attendant console application, Unity version 5.0(1), CER version 2.x,
EOS/EOL MeetingPlace Express v2.0, Contact Center Express (UCCX) v5 50 Agent
Premium Edition, Knoahsoft Agent Call Recording, Inova wall boards, IP Celerate IP
Paging, Metropolis Call Accounting, Operations Manager v2.0, various 2800/3800 series
voice gateways running IP Services IOS 12,xxx code, and approximately two VG224
analog voice gateways.
The high-level IP telephony components consist of three Cisco Communications
Manager 6.1 servers for call processing. The three servers provide failover and overall
load balancing, along with other various services such as: Music on Hold, CTI Manager
for agent desktop call-control, master database replication, TFTP/firmware updates, and
more.
The high-level conferencing system consists of a Cisco MeetingPlace Express server that
provides audio and web conferencing for EMWD users. This system consists of 35 ports
for audio and 26 ports for web conferencing. This product has reached end of sale and
end of support was April 2013. Therefore a new conferencing solution to replace MPE is
proposed & included CWMS.
Most of the phone instruments deployed are the Cisco model 7965 phone which
provides 10/100/1000 IP LAN connectivity, a large color display, and also supports the
G.722 wideband audio codec. Other instruments include conference room phones, PCbased soft phones for remote workers, and mobility features for workers on the go who
need their cellular phone and desk phone to ring simultaneously SNR or Mobile
Connect.
For voice messaging, Cisco Unity provides Unified Messaging which allows the use of
the EMWD Exchange e-mail environment to deliver voicemail messages to the same
inbox.
The environment also includes Cisco Emergency Responder (CER). CER provides
Enhanced 911 functionality, while Metropolis Call Accounting provides for basic Call
Detail Record Reporting.

From a security perspective, Firewall Services Modules (FWSMs) are deployed in a


redundant configuration. These Firewall Services Modules (FWSMs) may also be
deployed to support a security layer and trust boundary between the Unified
Communications application servers and the rest of the network.
The high-level Overhead Paging solution in place consists of an IPCelerate application
server which provides either overhead paging capability and/or uses the Cisco IP
Telephones as paging endpoints as well as paging to IP-based speakers at the remote
locations. IPCelerate has the capability to integrate with other sources such as overhead
paging systems, Facebook, Tweeter, Email systems, and more.
From a call center perspective, the various applications include: UCCX version
5.0(2)SR03_Build317 for 50 users Premium Edition running on two 7835 HA servers.
KnoahSoft Call Recording, and Inova Wall Boards are also in place.
All of the current server hardware is either MCS7835/MCS7845 H2 series and is no
longer suitable for the newer software versions, unless specified. Some existing server
hardware will be leveraged for the upgraded environment such as: Metropolis, IP
Celerate & Inova.
From a network perspective, EMWD has various Cisco infrastructure in place that will
for the most part remain unchanged, with the exception of the voice gateways and/or
analog gateway IOS upgrades as mentioned above.
From an application/groupware perspective, EMWD currently runs the following:
Office 2010 including Exchange/Outlook 2010
Predominately Windows XP on the desktop / moving towards Windows 7
Active Directory 2003 SP2

3.1.2 Functional Requirements


Based on various meetings that were conducted with Eastern Municipal Water District
key stake holders, the following functional requirements have been gathered:
Establish and configure new UCS server hardware platform(s) onto which the various
main/critical UC applications will be deployed & distributed across and/or migrated to
from the old MCS server hardware in place today.
Upgrade the various UC applications as follows:
Upgrade Call Manager from v6 to v9.1 / distribute UCM Pub/Sub servers across UCS
for redundancy (three instances for load balancing/failover)
Install /configure centralized UC Enterprise License Manager (ELM server) Enterprise
License Manager provides simplified, enterprise-wide management of user-based
licensing, including license fulfillment. Enterprise License Manager also supports
allocation and reconciliation of licenses across supported products, and provides
enterprise-level reporting of usage and entitlement.
Upgrade/migrate Unity v5 to Unity Connection v9.x / distribute across UCS for
redundancy (two instances for load balancing/failover)

Upgrade Emergency Responder to v9.x / distribute across UCS for redundancy (two
instances for failover) (two instances are in place today) existing MCS 7835 H2 server
hardware is not supported for CER v9 and above
MeetingPlace Express: By leveraging Cisco UCSS/ESW upgrade entitlement,
replace/migrate current EOS/EOL MPE application to CWMS product using new
dedicated UCS server hardware platform. Current MPE licensing is:
25Audio/6Web/6Video. Also deploy an Internet/DMZ Reverse Proxy server (IRP) for
remote/outside secure access to meetings hosted on-premise. Integrate with
Outlook/Exchange for scheduling, configure for single sign-on (SSO) via SAML or AD
integration - provides the ability for users hosting meetings to use their AD credentials
when signing on to CWMS Web/Outlook/Productivity Tools interfaces. EMWD must
already have a functional Identity server/service in place such as ADFS that is SAML 2.0
compliant and/or functional Active Directory infrastructure in place.
Upgrade the existing IP Celerate IP Paging application using existing hardware. Then
enable/configure for IPstudio - On-demand Recording for a small dept of users
(approximately 10) outside of the traditional call center environment. Provision the
network / appropriate voice VLAN for SPAN (for capturing VOIP streams) in support
of recording calls/capturing voice traffic. The IP Celerate server will store the voice
recordings locally and/or EMWD may opt to provide a SAN/network based storage
instead.
Upgrade the existing Metropolis call accounting system using existing server hardware,
and by leveraging an active support contract in place for which the upgrade is provided
free of charge.
Deploy a new premium edition attendant console application for two
operator/attendant positions to replace the existing console application that was
included free with earlier versions of Cisco Call Manager. Also to be deployed on new
UCS hardware however the application and client software will both leverage existing
customer-provided (CPE) Windows client workstations & Windows operating systems.
Implement a 50-user Jabber UC collaboration deployment as follows: Users of this
select group will pilot/test out the full Cisco UC collaboration user experience by
running the new Jabber for Windows/Mac/Mobile UC/IM/Presence clients. Further
integrate this client with users calendars, provide desk phone & integrated soft phone
call control, the ability to chat, group chat, video call, and escalate a call into a desktop
sharing session and/or to a CWMS WebEx audio/web/video meeting/conference.
Configure & deploy an on-premise CUP server as part of this Jabber deployment/a
required component using new UCS server hardware. Nexus will configure two
instance of each Jabber client type. EMWD will configure remaining clients as needed.
Provide professional / consulting services in order to implement a VPN On-Demand
feature solution in support of users running Cisco Jabber mobile client software. When
users launch Cisco Jabber mobile application clients from devices such as Apple IOS
iPhone/iPad and/or Android from outside the trusted LAN/wireless network, the
remote devices can automatically launch a VPN connection negating the need for the
user to launch the VPN connection first and /or requiring the user to enter a user name
and password each time. In order to accomplish this task, certificate based

authentication is required - EMWD will provide/stand-up a Windows-based Certificate


Authority Server (CA Server) in order to internally distribute digital certificates to the
mobile devices using standards-based Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP)
protocol. Nexus will assist EMWD in implementing this functionality by leveraging
existing ASA hardware, along with the required Cisco Any Connect VPN client
licensing (Essential or Premium Edition) including the required ASA mobile licensing all customer-provided/CPE. This functionality is limited to only those mobile devices
that support a VPN on Demand feature such as the iPhone/iPad (other mobile devices
may not support this feature) Note: The current ASA firewall(s) must be running v8,4 or
above code. Also note: The VPN On-Demand connection can leverage either a
public/private WiFi 802.11 connection and/or a cellular 3G/4G connection depending
on the particular mobile device user's service provider's capabilities/service offerings.
In addition, implement a Jabber for Everyone Else deployment for the remaining
EMWD workforce outside of the above 50 user Jabber UC collaboration deployment
as follows: For everyone else, Cisco offers free Jabber IM/Presence capability only.
Nexus will configure the system for all users. EMWD will be responsible for deploying
the client out to the entire workforce as needed. Users of this group will be able to chat,
and check the presence availability of all users including the select group above.
Advanced features such as integrated soft phone, call control, & video will not be
available to these users. Nexus will install, configure, & test up to 2 Jabber for everyone
clients, EMWD will install, configure, & test remaining Jabber for everyone clients as
needed.
The existing voice gateways (approximately 7ea ISR 2811s, 2ea ISR 3825s, 1ea ISR 2851
will be upgraded from v12.x IOS to v15.x IOS (IP Services Feature Set) for compatibility
with CUCM v9.x Remote sites SRST will be tested for proper survivability operation
(SRST) after the upgrade is completed.
In addition, two analog voice gateways (VG224s) will be upgraded as needed in
support of CUCM v9.x
The overall LAN/WAN network remains unchanged, unless otherwise stated within or
is addressed as a separate project altogether.
Network Management: From a network management perspective, EMWD uses/runs
SolarWinds Network Management application products. This application is not affected
and/or part of the UC upgrade project. EMWD also uses/runs Operations Manager v2.0
for monitoring/testing the UC related environment only. This product does not include
any upgrade entitlement and would require a significant cost to upgrade. Therefore
Operations Manager will not be upgraded and/or will be decommissioned, or no longer
needed.
Nexus understands the operational requirements for the contact center include:

Single-stage (single maintenance windows, likely weekend) system upgrade


deployment approach based on best practice upgrade paths for the UCCX
system, system software interdependencies and compatibilities, and site type
and size.
High-level Cutover plan (subject to change/fine tuning during post-sales
engagement):

Build-out UCCX to new Linux UCCX 9.0


Build upgrade of the new UCCX Servers and migrate the
database; freeze changes
Replicate existing applications from UCCX 5.x to UCCX

4.3 Nexus Standard Development Configurations


4.3.1 *Nexus Standard Softkey Template
Although all Cisco Unified IP phones support similar features, features are implemented
differently on various models. For example, some models configure features such as
Hold or Transfer by using phone button templates; other models have fixed buttons or
onscreen program keys for these features that are not configurable. Also, the maximum
number of lines or speed dials that are supported differs for some phone models. These
differences require different phone button templates for specific models. Nexus
standard softkey template features include:
CallPark

4.6 Knowledge Transfer


The success of any technology implementation is dependent on the usability and
perception of the system to the users. Nexus provides Knowledge Transfer sessions
for both users and administrative staff.
4.6.1 Train the trainer knowledge transfer
Nexus will provide two (2) days of knowledge transfer for the Eastern Municipal
Trainers to Train the EMWD staff on using their new phone and voicemail system.

These sessions typically take place on the business days immediately preceding the
cutover weekend (for example, if cutover takes place on a Saturday or Sunday, and two
days of training are provided, classes will take place on the Thursday and Friday before
the cutover weekend). Nexus will work with EMWD on when it is best to train the
trainers based on the number of end-users that will be required to receive training.
This IP telephony training typically includes instruction on using the telephone set,
making calls, accessing voicemail, setting up greetings, etc.
In addition to training the trainer for general phone and voicemail usage Nexus will
provide one and one-half (1.5) days of knowledge transfer for the Contact Center agents
and supervisors.
4.6.2 Administrative knowledge transfer
It is intended that EMWD will designate appropriate personnel who are familiar with
the project details and who will continue to maintain the systems after cutover. The
knowledge transfer session(s) provide the basic understanding of how your system(s)
operate and how to accomplish basic MAC (moves/adds/changes) requirements.
Knowledge transfer DOES NOT provide expert and/or advanced functionality
administration. Client should NOT expect to troubleshoot advanced situation and
upgrade their system(s) without assistance from Nexus or Cisco unless client personnel
receive advanced Cisco training/certification(s).
Nexus will provide one informal administrative knowledge transfer session for up to
twenty (20) hours to accommodate up to four (4) attendees. This session will be
conducted on the day after completion of go live support. If a lot of supervised (overthe-shoulder) knowledge transfer occurs during implementation, the amount of time the
overall time on administrative knowledge transfer may vary.
Informal administrator knowledge transfer typically covers the following:
Unified Communications Manager

Introduction to Unified Communications Manager

How to add users/phones/extensions/voicemail

Basic call handling, dialing plan

Basic troubleshooting techniques

Maintenance and backup

Unity Unified Messaging/Unity Connection:

Introduction to Unity

Add/delete subscribers

Call handler, class of service, basic reports

Basic troubleshooting techniques

Maintenance and backup

4.6.3 Contact Center Agent / Supervisor Knowledge Transfer


No Agent training is included in this implementation.
4.6.4 Contact Center Administrative Knowledge Transfer
It is intended that EMWD will designate appropriate personnel who are familiar with the
project details and who will continue to maintain the systems after cutover. The
knowledge transfer session(s) provide the basic understanding of how your system(s)
operate Knowledge transfer DOES NOT provide expert and/or advanced functionality
administration. Client should NOT expect to troubleshoot advanced situations and
upgrade their system(s) without assistance from Nexus or Cisco unless client personnel
receive advanced Cisco training/certification(s).
Nexus will provide one informal administrative knowledge transfer sessions for up to 4
hours total to accommodate up to three (3) attendees. These sessions will be conducted
post cutover. If a large amount of supervised (over-the-shoulder) knowledge transfer
occurs during implementation, the amount of time the overall time provided on
administrative knowledge transfer may vary. Since EMWD has been using Cisco UCCX
for some time the Administrative Knowledge Transfer will concentrate on the differences
between the versions. Standard Knowledge Transfer commitments will apply to the
Cisco Advanced Quality Management and Work Force Management Administrative
Knowledge Transfer,
One (1) 6 hour Standard Reports Overview
One (1) 4 hour System Administration Knowledge Transfer
One (1) 8 hour AQM System Administration Knowledge Transfer
One (1) WebEx Session from Calabrio (OEM for Cisco WFM) for WFM Administration
Knowledge Transfer

4.7 Cutover/First Day of Support


Cutover will take place in a single phase, unless otherwise noted. Nexus will provide
on-site support for the cutover at a mutually agreed upon time.
Nexus will provide two technicians to run the help desk. The technicians job will be to
answer a help desk number and to perform minor adds, moves, and changes for users.
These technicians will be onsite during the first day (from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm) that users
will need to operate the system.
This SOW does not cover additional services such as network audit, network
assessment, network design, or consulting.

4.9 Project Completion


As acknowledgement that the system has been placed into commercial operation, the
Eastern Municipal Water District will sign an In-service Acknowledgement form,
which may list certain minor items that were not yet able to be deployed. These items (if
any) will also have documented due dates for the expected completion date. Other items
listed could include as-built documentation and or drawings as applicable based on
what was purchased in the agreement.
Upon Nexus completion of the professional services, Nexus shall notify Eastern
Municipal Water District of completion of a specific milestone or service performed by
providing an In-Service Acknowledgement Form. Eastern Municipal Water District has
five (5) working days from the receipt of the In-Service Acknowledgement Form to
schedule appropriate personnel to review the particular milestone or services performed
and sign the In-Service Acknowledgement Form. Signing of the In-Service
Acknowledgement Form, or Eastern Municipal Water Districts failure to respond to the
form within the designated five (5) day period, signifies Eastern Municipal Water
Districts acceptance of the milestone and that services have been performed as
described in the In-Service Acknowledgement Form and in accordance with the SOW.
In order to refuse acceptance of the services performed, Eastern Municipal Water
District must provide Nexus with full details that show that services do not conform to
the SOW. Nexus shall address such non-conformance in a timely manner. Nexus shall
compile an action plan to correct any deficiencies and the process for acceptance detailed
herein shall be repeated until such time as all deficiencies have been resolved and the
services meet the requirements of the SOW. Acceptance may not be withheld due to
defects in services that do not represent a material non-conformance with the
requirements of the SOW.

4.10 Issue Escalation


Two types of support issues that require escalation:

1. Implementation issues
2. Operations and Maintenance (O&M) issues

required additional charges will apply and a separate Statement of Work for such
services will replace Section 4.1 of this Statement of Work.
Project Kick-off Meeting

The purpose of the project kickoff meeting is to transition the project from the
design and purchase process to the implementation phase. The agenda of the
meeting will include the review of the contract terms, and key project task areas.
The key stakeholders need to attend to agree on roles and responsibilities,

establish joint planning, and define short-term deliverables for both Nexus and
the Eastern Municipal Water District. This is typically an on site meeting with the
added attendance of the Nexus Advance Solutions Executive, Systems Design
Engineer and Deployment Engineer(s) either live or remotely, as well as the
Eastern Municipal Water Districts key stakeholders.
At a minimum, the agenda will also include the review the following planning activities:

Validate the Bill of Materials as itemized on the Schedule A of the agreement

Review various other specifics of this Scope of Work

Develop & verify the contact and escalation list

Communication plan that defines the understanding as to how Nexus and the
Eastern Municipal Water District agree to communicate on all project related

o

The quality of a VoIP call depends on many factors, including network


traffic, LAN/WAN engineering (i.e., setting up QoS across network,

CODECS being used), and network carrier facilities. Business voice


quality can be achieved with proper engineering and carrier SLAs in
place (when involving WAN), but is not 100% guaranteed.
o

To maintain acceptable voice quality, Nexus recommends that the Eastern


Municipal Water District maintain SLAs with their network service
provider for WAN services. Nexus cannot be held responsible for voice
quality issues if the following network guidelines are not consistently met
by the Eastern Municipal Water District and the network and/or network
service provider:

Network Delay: Maximum 150ms one-way between endpoints.

Network Jitter: <20ms between endpoints.

Packet Loss: Maximum 1% between endpoints.

Documentation of these parameters should be provided by the network


service provider in order to verify these guidelines are being met for
WAN services.

If the Eastern Municipal Water District is responsible for the installation


of this infrastructure, QoS will be the Eastern Municipal Water Districts
responsibility. The Eastern Municipal Water District must base their
configuration upon the design guidelines provided in the Cisco Solution
Reference Network Design (SRND).

8.1 Unified Contact Center Express Specific


Assumptions

All agent and supervisor PCs will be connected to the Ethernet port on a Cisco
794x, 796x or 797x phone.

All reports will be deployed with standard out of the box templates. No custom
reports will be developed as part of this SOW.

Silent Monitoring will be deployed with endpoint monitoring. If SPAN port


monitoring is required, additional services and hardware will be required.

For silent monitoring the agent desktop system is connected to the PC port on
the back of the IP phone. This enables the silent monitor subsystem to collect
voice packets that reach the phone, and to forward the voice packets to the
supervisor workstation. The agent desktop system uses one single physical
channel to interact with two different VLANs. The agent desktop accesses the
physical channel with the help of an Ethernet Network Interface Controller
(NIC). The NIC watches the channel and collects Ethernet frames addressed to
the agent computer. Then it runs a pre-processing step to extract IP packets from
the Ethernet frames and deliver them to the TCP/IP stack.

During extensive internal testing Cisco identified that some Ethernet NIC card
drivers available are not capable of pre-processing Ethernet frames that have an

IP packet encapsulated in a VLAN frame. The NIC card driver discards the
Ethernet frame altogether if the IP packet is encapsulated in an 802.1Q frame.
Some vendors can provide a configuration setting that allows their NIC card
driver to forward VLAN traffic to the TCP/IP stack. If an agent desktop NIC
card driver discards VLAN traffic, the silent monitor subsystem on that desktop
is not able to collect and forward voice packets to the supervisor workstation and
silent monitor does not function properly.

Cisco has developed a procedure to determine whether a particular Ethernet NIC


card driver works with CAD Silent Monitoring. Nexus IS will need to perform
this test on certain NICs to ensure compatibility for Silent Monitor functionality.
It is the customers responsibility to replace incompatible NICs at PC
workstations where silent monitoring is required.

Agent and Supervisor desktops must meet the following minimum configuration
