A network connectivity issue is impacting your phone device.
This is an indication that your Agent Desktop does not have a voice connection to the system. If you intended to login with a phone, but the phone is not active, a banner is shown that cannot be closed and you are placed into a special "Not Ready" agent state.
This message may be shown if you are logging in with one of the phone options and do not have the Agent Desktop Helper Application installed on your computer (or the corresponding Chrome extension if you are using Chrome as your browser). See section Installing/Updating Agent Desktop Helper Application for more information.
Note: Your attempts to install/update Agent Desktop Helper Application may be blocked by your browser (depending on its security settings) and/or some anti-virus software running on your computer. Typically in this case you will see a warning message asking you to either cancel or confirm the download/install. Choose the confirm/allow/proceed option to proceed with the installation/upgrade. If in doubt, contact your system administrator.
You can check if the component is installed on your computer by looking up its name in the list of installed programs (Windows Start Menu > Control Panel > Programs and Features). For the Chrome browser, you should also check whether the corresponding Agent Desktop Chrome Extension is installed and enabled in your Chrome browser (Chrome > More tools... > Extensions).
If the above components are installed and enabled, the next step will be to restart the Agent Desktop Helper Application:
- Log out of the Agent Desktop.
- Close the browser.
- Close all other tabs and windows of all other browsers.
- Open the browser that you normally use to run your Agent Desktop.
- Log into the Agent Desktop normally.

A problem with voice quality is detected, please check your network connection.
Agent Desktop continuously monitors voice quality parameters of your phone calls. This message is displayed when any of those parameters get out of the acceptable quality range. Once the quality improves, this message will be automatically removed from your desktop.
This message does not necessarily mean that you will not be able to carry on your phone conversation. In most cases, you should be able to finish your current call normally.
You can do the following to improve the voice quality:
- Close other programs that may be using your internet connection.
- If you are using a wireless internet connection, make sure you have a strong Wi-Fi signal.
If you keep getting this message, report the problem to your system administrator even if you do not notice any real degradation of speech.
If the degradation of voice quality is noticeable to you or to the people you talk to, consider making yourself Not Ready to prevent delivery of new customer calls to you and report the problem to your system administrator.

You are in the [No answer] state because you did not accept a customer interaction at [HH:MM]. Select the Ready state when ready to handle customer interactions.
If you do not accept an incoming service call, chat, or email within a certain amount of time, the system will return the interaction to the queue and change your state to Not Ready with the “No answer” reason. (Note that because Not Ready reason names are customizable you may see something other than “No answer” in the message text.) This is done to prevent other interactions from being distributed to you in case you accidentally leave your desk without making yourself Not Ready manually.
You can manually make yourself Ready when you are ready to handle interactions again.
You are in the [Connection loss] state because at [HH:MM] a call to this phone was not delivered due to network, firewall, or computer configuration issues. Please ensure this phone can accept calls before switching into the Ready state.

(Note that because Not Ready reason names are customizable you may see something other than “Connection loss” in the message text.). This is done to prevent other interactions from being distributed to you while the problem persists.
Report this message to your system administrator. When the problem is resolved, you can manually make yourself Ready.
