Explanation
Options A and D are correct because they accurately reflect how a centralized UCCE deployment behaves during a WAN outage to both data centers.
Why A is correct: Cisco Finesse servers reside in the centralized data centers, not at the remote branch. When the WAN link fails, agents' desktop clients lose their HTTPS/WebSocket connection to the Finesse server. After the keepalive timeout expires, the Finesse server marks those agents as unavailable and signs them out - this is by design to prevent calls from being routed to unreachable agents.
Why D is correct: A call that was already answered over a local PSTN connection before the WAN failure is a locally-anchored media path. The voice bearer traffic doesn't traverse the WAN, so the active RTP stream between the PSTN and the agent's phone remains intact. The call stays up; only new call routing (which needs CVP/ICM in the DC) is disrupted.
Why the distractors are wrong: Option C is wrong because Cisco Unified Intelligence Center (CUIC), which serves historical reports, lives in the data center - no WAN, no reports. Options B and E describe voice gateway behaviors that are either inaccurate or represent the wrong fallback outcome for a centralized (non-SRST-for-routing) deployment; without local CVP/ICM intelligence, the gateway cannot independently route new calls.
Memory tip: Think "Out vs. Ongoing" - agents already out of a call get signed out of Finesse (A), while calls already ongoing on local PSTN stay on (D). Everything else - reports, new routing - needs the data center.
