SPITFIRE X SECURITY KEY
When purchasing SpitFireX system software, you will receive a SpitFireX Security Key, also called a “dongle”. SpitFireX system
software will not run without the Security Key, pictured below.
If you have purchased a turnkey system with computer included, the SpitFireX server software has been installed. The Security Key
pictured below is packed with the dialer and needs to be plugged into the parallel port. This is the printer port.
If you have a printer plugged into the parallel port, take out the printer cable, insert the Security Key and then plug the printer cable
into the Security Key. This should not interfere with your printer.
The Security Key will be specific for the number of boards and the number of lines you have on that particular SpitFire system. If you
change boards or upgrade the software, the Security Key will have to be returned to OPC Marketing to be re-programmed. The reprogramming charge is $25.00 plus shipping.
If the Security Key is lost or stolen, the replacement price is the full price of the software license.

All PCI and ESC boards do not have jumpers that need to be set for the specific IRQ
ports, these can be set from the Dialogic DCM software. It is important to note that on
all ESC cards if you are using more than one, an SC bus cable is required to connect the
boards together. ESC boards also need to have a different board ID# set.

simply repeat the steps as you did in creating the "Dial-Answer" message.
When the above steps have been completed, the file name "Statement1.wav" will
appear in the Statement 1 window.
Click on the "Save" button as shown above to save all the work you have just
completed. IMPORTANT - If you do not save this data, all the work you have just done
will be lost.
69
When the "Statement 1" message has been saved, you will be taken back to the Main
Template window.
Now, double-click on the "Question 1" option to begin that configuration. The "Question
1" script follows the "Statement 1" script, and this is where you will set up the decisiontree based on how you want to handle the call. The message you will record here can
give the person that is listening the option to press 1 to leave a message (to request
more information or have a salesperson contact them), press 9 to speak to a live person
(if you have an ESC board), or press 8 if they want to be added to your Do Not Call list,
for example.
This is what the "Question 1" screen looks like (above).
70
This is where you begin setting up the first part of the "Question 1" script. Click on the
"Tape" button next to the blank line just like you did before. Then, repeat the steps to
record your message.
The above picture is what it will look after you have recorded the message.
The ‘Parameters’ option is where the configuration is set for the various sequences of
the call. The ‘Hit’ option can be selected in order to filter the calls that reach this part of
the script. The ‘Points’ option can also be used for this function and is mainly used for a
survey script. Please make sure that "Hang-Up after this card" is not checked. If you are
using a transfer only or polling script, than this option should be checked
To setup the various touch tones used in the script, select the ‘Touch Tone Config’ tab.
71
The ‘Transfer Touchtone’ is the digit that is required to enable the transfer of a call. The
‘Add to NoCalls Touchtone’ is the digit that is required to have the phone number added
to the NoCalls file. "TT-1" is the key the customer presses if they want more
information. This will take them to the "Record Message" function (to be set up shortly)
where they will be prompted to leave their name and number. "TT-1" should be set to 1.
“Retry" is the number of times that the customer can attempt to select a number as
instructed by the script. If they push the wrong button three times consecutively, they
will hear an "Invalid Response" message (to be set up in upcoming steps), and the call
will be disconnected. ‘Range’ is used for polling scripts.
Next, record the "Invalid Msg" script. This is the message that will play if the customer
hits a key that is not defined in the script, and it will play for the number of times that is
selected in the "Retry" box. Start by selecting the "Tape" button next to the blank line,
and then repeat steps for recording the message. When finished, the screen above is
what you will see.
Next, the "NoCalls Addition (TT 8)" box must be selected in order to give the customer
the option to be removed from your calling list by pressing the 8 key.
72
Next, record the "NoCalls Msg" script. This is the message (such as, "Thank you. You will
be removed from our contact list.") That will play when the customer presses the 8 key.
Begin by clicking the "Tape" button next to the blank line, and then repeat the recording
steps as before. When finished, the screen above is what you will see.
Next, set up the "Agent Transfer (TT 9)" options. NOTE - this allows the customer to
connect to a live agent, and applies only if you have an SC board, or 3-Way
Calling or Centrex Service from your carrier. If you wish to use this option, check
the box next to "Agent Transfer (TT 9)". If not, leave it blank and skip to the ‘Save’ tab.
If you have selected this option and are using an ESC board, select the "On Board 3Way Calling" option. If you are using the carrier's 3-way calling, then select the "Phone
Company 3-Way Calling" option, and if you have Centrex lines, then select the "Phone
Company Centrex Service" option.
The next step is to record the "Transfer Msg". This is the message (such as "Your call is
being transferred"). The hold message applies only if you have an SC board, not
3-Way Calling or Centrex Service from your carrier. That will play when the 9 key
is pressed during the "Question 1" script. To record, start by pressing the "Tape" button
next to the "Hold Msg" line and then repeat the steps as shown earlier. The screen
shown above is what you will see when finished.
73
The next step is to put in the number to which the system will transfer the customer. It
is imperative that you put all the digits in this box that the system needs to dial. If you
are going through a key system where, for instance, you must first dial 9 to access an
outside line to make a call, then you must first put a 9 and a comma in the "Call
Number" line, followed by the complete number.
The next item that needs to be selected is the "Agent Message" box. This will announce
to the agent (before the call is transferred) either the phone number that is being
transferred or the client ID number, depending on which you choose below "Agent Msg".
Next, record the "NoAgent Msg" by clicking the "Tape" button next to that line and
repeating the steps as before. This is the message that will play to the customer if no
agent is available and the call has not been transferred after approximately 40 seconds.
After playing this message, the system will automatically transfer the customer to the
"Record 1" message (to be set up shortly), and their corresponding response will be
saved in the "Messages" folder.
Next, it is vital that you click on the "Save" button before exiting. IMPORTANT - If you
do not hit "Save", all the work done in this portion will be lost.
When you hit "Save", it will bring you back to the Main Template.
74
The next part of the set-up is the "Record 1" function. Select "Record 1" on the template
with your mouse.
This will open the "Record 1" screen as shown above.
Next, record the "Record 1" message. This is the message that is played if the customer
presses the 1 key in "Question 1" and where, for instance, they can be prompted to
leave their name and number in order to be contacted by a salesperson. At the end of
the "Record 1" message a tone (inserted automatically by the system) will be played,
and then the caller can leave their message. To begin recording the "Record 1"
message, hit the "Tape" button and repeat the steps as before. This will open the
"Record 1" screen as shown above.
75
The next step is to set up the "Parameters" field. The "Hit" box must be checked, so that
you are notified every time a message is left. It is suggested that "Record Time" be set
at 60 seconds, so that the line is not tied up too long. On the right of this screen there is
an option for "Serial" or "Phone #". If you select "Phone #", it will assign the customer's
phone number as the name of the saved file that is their message.
The next step is to select the "Msg Prefix" folder. Click on the yellow folder to the right
of this line, and it will automatically create a folder when a customer leaves a message.
To allow the customer to edit the message the ‘Allow Editing’ box needs to be checked.
There needs to be a message recorded in the ‘Edit Msg’ section. To allow for an invalid
message recording the ‘Invalid Msg’ needs to be completed.
To setup the email option, the ‘Email Recording’ box needs to be checked. This will
allow the wave files to be emailed to a specific email account.
76
The ‘Email Settings’ tab needs to be filled out with the email information.
Now, hit "Save". This will bring you back to the main template. IMPORTANT - If you do
not "Save", all the work done will be lost.
The next step is to set up the "Hangup 1" function.
Double-click on "Hangup1" as shown above.
77
Next, record the "Hangup 1" message. This is the message that is played after the
customer has left their message in the "Record 1" portion. Begin by clicking on the
"Tape" button next to the empty line, and then repeat the steps as shown earlier. The
screen above is what you will see when finished.
Now, hit "Save". This will bring you back to the main template. IMPORTANT - If you do
not "Save", all the work done in this portion will be lost.
When you hit "Save", it will bring you back to the Main Template.
78
At this point the script is essentially complete, but there is one final step that must be
done or all your hard work up to now will be lost. The entire script has to be saved
before you exit ScriptMaker X.
Select the "Scripts" tab at the top of the ScriptMaker X Main Template. This will then
give you a drop down menu. Select the "Save Script" option.
This will bring up the window shown above, and will display the name you gave the
script. Hit "Save". IMPORTANT - If you do not hit "Save" before exiting, ALL your work
will be lost.
.
CONGRATULATIONS! Your script is now complete, and you can exit ScriptMaker Pro.

(Access Version)
171
A) Q: Started Spitfire dialing and it just says, “Starting Line 1” in Status and
nothing else is happening.
A: This could be because of any of the following:
a) You may have had two of the same Instances open when you started your
campaign, which would lock up the Voice Service. Close the Spitfire X software by
clicking on the Stop sign. If it does not close the Spitfire X software, then you will
have to go into Task Manager and close it there. Right click on the yellow
telephone icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen and click “Stop”. If an
error message comes up, go into Task Manager/Processes and look for something
called SSVL.exe that is running and end that process. Try to start another
campaign.
b) If you are not using an SC bus card (i.e. a D/41 ESC), make sure that SC bus
Board is not checked in Spitfire X/Options/Preferences.
c) The Dialogic card(s) may not be running. Open Configuration Manager. If there is
not a shortcut on the Desktop for this than click on Start/Programs/Intel Dialogic
System Software/Configuration Manager. If the System Service Status at the
bottom of the screen says “Stopped”, then click on the green button at the top.
Make sure that in Service/Startup it is set to “Automatic”.
d) Something has been installed on the computer that has corrupted certain files
used by the Spitfire X software. You may be able to fix the problem by uninstalling
and reinstalling both the Dialogic and the Spitfire X software.
e) If you do need to reinstall the software, The Spitfire X Quick-Start Guide explains
the installation process. However, it may be that the corrupted files will not be
restored and you may have to reformat the computer’s hard drive to get it back to
its’ original state.
f) If you are using an Operating System other than Windows 2000 Professional or if
you have upgraded from an older Operating System without totally reformatting
the computer’s hard drive, you will have this issue.
B) Q: Started Spitfire X dialing and it just goes through the list quickly and
stops.
A: There is a problem with your list. Please check the following:
1. Make sure that the phone numbers have been put into the Office Phone field. This
is the field that corresponds to the Voice Phone column and is the only number the
dialer will dial.
2. The list may need to be reworked in Listmaker. Open the list in Listmaker and
Click on List/Rework List. Here is where you can reset the records to be called
again.
3. Make sure that the phone numbers in the list are 10 digits, no dashes or spaces
and that each record has a phone number in it. Check to make sure the number
you are dialing is not in your Nocalls.mdb or DMANocalls.mdb files.
172
C) Q: The dialer is dialing but the calls are all going to ‘Other’ in the Line Stats
tab.
A: This is either a line problem, your Preferences are not set up correctly, or there is
something wrong with the Script you are using.
1. The most common issue is a phone line problem. Remove the phone line from the
back of the computer and plug that end into a telephone. Try to make a call on the
phone like you normally would and see if it goes through. Don’t just listen for a dial
tone because the line could have dial tone but still not be a working line.
2. Know how you would dial the numbers you are having the dialer call. Go into
Options/Preferences in Spitfire X and look at the Lines tab. any area codes that
require 7-digit dialing (meaning you do not dial the are code, 555-1234) should be
in Local Area Codes 7. Any area codes that require 10-digit dialing (meaning you
have to dial the area code but not a 1) should be in Local Area Codes 10. Any area
codes that are not in either of these fields will be dialed with 11 digits (meaning 1214-555-1234). Always have a 1 in Long Distance and nothing should be in Local
Prefix or Long Distance Prefix unless you have to dial a 9 to or something similar to
get an outside line.
3. For a script problem, open up Scriptmaker and then try to open the script you are
using. If nothing happens when you open the script, i.e. the parts of the script,
Dial, Dial-Answer, Hang-up, Statement 1, Question 1, don’t come up, then the
script.vbs file is corrupted. You will have to create a new script.
D) Q: I set up a job in Jobmaker but it didn’t start.
A: You have to make sure you follow the instructions for creating a Job exactly. Please
look at the Jobmaker Quick-Start Guide
Also make sure that the list you have assigned to the job(s) still has records that can
be called in it. Select the list in Spitfire X Instance 1 and click on the List Stats tab to
see how many available records are in the list.
E) Q: The dialer dials the number. The phone rings and I pick up but there is
nothing on the other end of the line. It hangs up.
A: There are usually two reasons for this:
1. Make sure that when you answer the phone you say “Hello”. This lets the dialer
know a person has answered.
2. The script you are using may not have a wav file in it or it may be in the wrong
format. Open the script in Scriptmaker and make sure the wav file(s) is there.
If it is, then open the file in Wavemaker (click on the cassette tape icon) and if
the file is not in 8000 kHz, Mono, 16-bit, then it is in the wrong format. Click on
the File/Edit From Menu and select the 8000 kHz, Mono, 26-bit format. Then
click the save icon.
173
F) Q: There are a large number of messages recorded by the dialer but almost
all of them are blank and/or are recordings of disconnect tones, busy signals,
etc.
A: The issue is with the script. Open the script in Scriptmaker and click on Question1.
Click the box next to Hang Up On Max Retry Exceeded. Without this checked, every
time the dialer detects a voice (even if it is not a voice) it will go to the Record1 part
of the script and record a message. Also be aware that you will get a certain
percentage of blank messages even when your script is set up properly. This will
happen whenever someone presses the 1 key but then decides not to leave a
message
G) Q: I cannot get agent transfers to work.
A: The configuration of the Single Question Single Record script is very import for call
transfers to work successfully: The Scriptmaker Quick-Start Guide actually describes the
process to create this type of script. The following information will explain the specifics
on how to make sure to set up the script correctly for call transfers.
1. The 9 key is the button that must be pressed for a transfer to be initiated. Make
sure you check the Agent Transfer (TT 9) box on the right hand side.
2. There are 3 types of transfer processes to choose from. Phone Company Centrex
Service is a generic term for a PBX system. If the lines you are using are going
through a PBX, then this type of transfer will work best. It simulates the Switch,
Hook, Flash process that is done on a PBX phone system. Phone Company 3-Way
calling means that you must have 3-Way calling installed on the phone lines that
the dialer is using. You can test this by using those lines to do a regular 3-Way call
on regular phones. On Board 3-Way calling requires that you have a particular type
of Dialogic card called and SC bus card. Examples of this are the D/41 ESC, D/160
SC and the D/240 SC.
3. All three of these types of transfers require that you record a Transfer Msg that
should inform the customer that they are being transferred to a live agent and to
stay on the line. Also, all three types of transfer process require that the phone
number the customers will be transferred to is put into the Call Number field. This
phone number should be entered exactly as it needs to be dialed. No dashes or
spaces.
4. For On Board 3-Way Calling there are some other very important parameters: The
Hold Msg must be recorded and this will repeat while the customer is on hold as
many times as is entered into the Hold Msg Loop Times. Also make sure that you
check the Agent Msg, Speak Phone Number box and record a NoAgent Msg. The
Speak Phone box will speak a phone number to the agent before the customer is
transferred to the agent. The NoAgent Msg is played if no agent answers the
transferred call by the time the Hold Msg has played the number of times in the
Hold Msg Loop.
174
5. The Hold Msg, No Agent Msg and Speak Phone Number Msg only if you have one of
the SC bus board type of dialogic cards.
6. Unless you are using a digital Dialogic card (D/240 SC for example), the agent
must hit the # key on their phone before hanging up the call. If they do not, it will
not release one of the lines used in this type of transfer and the line will be frozen
until you reboot the computer.
H) Q: How do I take a large area code list and split it up by city or zip code?
A: Listmaker can sort the list by several different criteria, including city, zip code or even
street address. Below is the basic process:
1. Open the list in Listmaker and click on the All Contacts tab.
2. Click on the Search button (it is shaped like a funnel). Select the field that you want
to search by enter the information and then click Lookup.
3. Once it has finished finding matches for the information you entered, then click the
Work button.
4. Now Listmaker will display only those records that you told it to search for. Click on
List/Export List to bring up the Export window.
5. You can create a new file to export to(white paper icon) or select an existing
file(yellow folder icon). Once the file is selected, click Save and then Export.
6. Now you can go back to the original list by clicking on the Restore button in All
Contacts, click on All Contacts again and click the Search button again to start
another search.
I) Q: Spitfire X is not leaving messages on answering machines.
a) A: Look at the following reasons for this issue with the understanding that
answering machine detection is not perfect. The following advice will assumes that
your phone lines are working and you are able to send a message to a live person.
b) First, make sure your script actually has an answering machine message and that
it is working properly. Open the script in Scriptmaker, click on Dial-Answer (or
Dial, depending on the type of script) and make sure that there is a wav file
selected in the script. Click on the cassette icon to open the file in Wavemaker and
click play to hear it.
c) Make sure that the Dial Rings is set to 4 or 5.
d) The other setting is the AM detection that can be changed in the Spitfire X
software under Options/Preferences/Lines tab. The default setting is 3 and the
range is between 1 and 4.(not 1 and 9 as it says). The lower the number is set,
the more liberally the software will accept that it is connected to an answering
machine. Note: This setting is design to make adjustments because of the
variability of phone carriers phone lines and answering machines. It would only be
necessary to make an adjustment if the vast majority of calls are either going to
voice or answering machine instead of being somewhat evenly distributed between
the two.
175
J)Q: The Spitfire X software seems to be stuck, is not dialing and will not close.
A: The voice logic is frozen and it and the lines have to be reset. This is usually because
of a bad phone line causing errors that lead to the voice logic freezing up. Take the
following steps to reset the software and lines.
g) If the Spitfire X software won't close, will have to end the task in Task Manager.
Hit the "CTRL, ALT, DELETE" keys on the keyboard and then click on Task
Manager.
h) Click on the Applications tab, click on any instances of Spitfire X and then click
End Task.
i) Click on the Processes tab and click on Image Name. Look for a process called
ssVL.exe, click on it and then click on End Process. If a question pops up, click
Yes. Close out of Task Manager.
j) Now we must clear the lines on the Dialogic card. Open Configuration Manager,
click OK if a question pops up and then click the red Stop sign button. After a few
seconds the dialogic card will come to a stop. Then click the green circle button
and wait for the Dialogic cards to start again. Note: If it does not stop and restart
or you get an error then just re-boot the computer and continue on to step 5.
k) Open the Spitfire X software again and start a campaign. It may also be a good
idea to double check the lines with a regular telephone to make sure they are
working.
K)Q: How do I listen to the customer's messages? Where are the messages?
A: Each script has it's own folder for storing message files. It is the MSGS folder and the
pathing to this folder is: C:\Spitfire X\Scripts\YourScript\MSGS. If the folder doesn't
exist, take the following steps to create it.
l) Open the script in Scriptmaker and click on the Record 1 part of the script.
m) Click on the yellow folder to the right of the Msg Prefix box. This will tell the
software to create a MSGS folder for that script.
n) Click on the Save button in the bottom right of the window. Then click
Scripts/Save Script/Save to save the changes you just made.
o) The next time you get a message, the MSGS folder will be created and all future
messages will be in that folder. If you right click on that folder and then click Send
To/Desktop, this will create a Shortcut on your Desktop, which you can use to
listen to the messages.
p) To listen to a message, first go to the MSGS folder for that script.
q) Double click on the file you want to listen to and click OK on the Unregistered Copy
screen.
r) Make sure that the settings are 8000, 16 bit, Mono and click OK. Make sure the
last screen's setting are mu-Law 8bit and click OK.
s) The message will be playing and from then on you just click OK 3 times to listen to
the messages.
Note: It is best to not use the Listen button in the top right hand corner of the Spitfire X
software because this only stores message for a particular campaign you are running.
176
L) Q: How do I put the National No Calls files into my dialer? (Access version)
A: National Do Not Call file instructions:
The file will be in a zip format, unzip it to your hard drive to a place you can find it. For
example, My Documents.
Because the file name is so long and does not have a .txt extension, it has to be
renamed. Go to the file, right click on it and click on "Rename".
Change the name to represent which area code it is for. For example, if the file name
was “205_18_9_2003_wk12mFEHGQ6vdsePJ0zl6w==” then change it to
“205_18_9_2003.txt” (without the quotation marks). When finished renaming, press
Enter on your keyboard.
Now that the file has been renamed, we need to open it in WordPad
Right click on the file you just renamed and left click on "Open With".
Now click on "Choose Program" and scroll down until you see "WordPad". It is going to
near the bottom of the list of programs.
After the file is open, click "File" and then "Save". Answer Yes to any questions it asks
you. Close WordPad. Continue with the next file, if necessary.
The new file is ready to import in Listmaker.
Open Listmaker and click on Lists/Import List
Click on the yellow folder icon in the top right hand corner to select the file you want to
import. Find the folder that you saved the nocalls file in and double click on that file.
You will see the area code and phone number of the first record in the ASCII Data
window, on the right hand side.
Click on the area code first and then click on the small field to the left of Voice#. Then
click on the phone number and again click into the field next to Voice#. It will ask if you
want to Add to Current field, click yes.
Click on the save button to the right of List Filename, go to the C:\Spitfire X\Lists folder
and select the DMANocalls.mdb file.
When it asks if you want to append to this file, click Yes.
Lastly, click on the green light button and it will begin importing. When it is finished you
will have a window telling you how many records were imported.
