capabilities of Mitel communications platforms with contact management, Dynamic Status, and
collaboration, to simplify and enhance communications.
As a UC Advanced Administrator, you will be accessing the Unified Communications (UC)
Server to configure and manage UC Advanced. The UC Server provisions users with UC
Advanced features and provides communication paths to the Private Branch Exchange (PBX)
telephone system, voice mail, collaboration server, and other integrated applications.
Users can access UC Advanced features from the following interfaces:
• Desktop Client
• Web Portal
• Mobile Portal
• Mobile for BlackBerry®
• Mobile for Android™
• Mobile for iPad™
• Mobile for iPhone™
Audience
This document is intended for UC Advanced and network administrators. This administrator
guide assumes that you are familiar with the system administration interfaces for the PBX
platform you are connecting to. It also assumes that your UC Advanced site has already
purchased UC Advanced and the necessary UC Advanced, PBX, and integrated application
hardware, software, and licenses. Review the Release Notes before installing UC Advanced.
This document is intended for UC Advanced standalone installations; if you are working with UC
Advanced integrated into the Mitel Applications Suite (MAS), refer to the MAS documentation
suite.
This document assumes that the UC Advanced administrator and the MSL
NOTE
administrator are the same person.

Overview
Server and Client Components
UC Server
The UC Server software can reside as a stand-alone application on an MSL v9.4 or later
approved hardware platform or as part of an integrated system with MAS, either on the physical
server or on VMware. The UC Advanced virtual appliance (vUCA) can be deployed in a
VMware environment running vSphere 4.0 update 2, vSphere 4.1, and vSphere 5.0.
UC Server software components include:
• ADEPM: Manages Active Directory communication for account synchronization.
• DSM: Analyzes accounts in the PBX database or Active Directory and maintains the
account representation in the UC Server.
• EPM: Manages MiXML-based communication with the MCD PBX for account
synchronization.
• FEDERATIONGW: Handles the XMPP federation with third-party systems such as
Microsoft Office Communicator Server (OCS).
• IM: Handles Instant Messaging between Desktop Clients and provides page mode,
conversation mode, and conference mode instant messages.
• JBoss: Provides the various administrator features and Web services.
• PbxProxy: Maintains MiTAI connections and receives call and feature events from the
MCD PBX. Publishes the events on the UC Server internal message bus.
• Proxy5k: Maintains OAI connections and receives call and feature events from the Mitel
5000 PBX. Publishes the events to the UC Server internal message bus.
• Presence: Handles subscriptions and notifications for presence, calls, message waiting
etc.

Introduction
Introduction
This chapter provides information about UC Advanced features.
There are a total of 27 licensed features for UC Advanced. Two of the features are server-level
licensed features (Federation on page 24, and Peering on page 26), and are considered to be
“in use” at all times.
The remaining 25 licensed features are user-level licensed features (see page 29), and are
allocated to a specified user. These types of features are considered to be “in use” when you
assign them to the user, regardless of whether or not the user is actually using the feature.
Table 1 describes the UC Advanced licensed features.
Table 1. UC Advanced Licensed Features
Feature Name Description
Auto Answer1 Incoming calls are answered at the first ring by the selected device. Users enable
and disable this feature from the Dynamic Status dialog box on the Desktop Client.
Call Forwarding The Call Forwarding feature allows users to:
• forward to any non-Personal Ring Group (PRG) destinations.
• add preferential contacts.
• send calls to dynamic extensions.
When users are not licensed for Call Forwarding, they can still send calls to their
desk phones, softphones, and voice mail. In addition, users can set Do-Not-Disturb
and Auto Answer options.
Chat Users can participate in online chat sessions with other users also licensed for chat.
Users access the Chat submenu option when they right-click a contact from the
Contacts view.
Collaboration Integration Users can access Collaboration features including the Collaboration submenu
(available from the main menu) and the Start Collaboration option when the user
right-clicks one or more contacts.
See Server-Level Features on page 24 for more information about collaboration.
Compact Mode Users can switch between the full mode and Compact mode Desktop Client
interfaces.
Console Option Users have access to the Console view from the main menu. The Console view
provides access to attendant functions such as answer, transfer, hold, and the ability
to view and change another user's status.
Desk Phone Users' desk phone extensions, as programmed on the PBX, are integrated with UC
Advanced.
Do-Not-Disturb (DND) Users can enable and disable DND to override current Dynamic Status settings.
When DND is enabled, callers receive a busy tone and a Do-Not-Disturb message
and incoming calls are not logged in the call log.
Page 20 Mitel® Unified Communicator® Advanced Administrator Guide – Issue 5.0 SP1, October 2012
Features
Introduction
Dynamic Status Users can manually change their Dynamic Status at any time using the UC
Advanced interface, which is then communicated to other UC Advanced users. In
addition, Dynamic Status can also be configured to be automatically updated
in response to many events, such as a user's Calendar availability. Users can
also add statuses and configure the following Dynamic Status elements:
• Status Message (for example, In the office or Gone for the day)
• Optional custom text (for example, Reviewing reports or Back on Thursday)
• Instant Message and Video Call availability
• Preferential Contacts
• Phone Settings (Busy/no answer routing, DND, Auto Answer)
When users are not licensed for Dynamic Status, they have only one status. This
status provides call forwarding capabilities as long as the user is licensed and
configured to use the Call Forwarding feature.
External Dial Users can dial an external number from an integrated application such as Microsoft
Word, Outlook, Internet Explorer®, and IBM Lotus Notes. The user may need to
complete some configuration in the application to enable external dialing.
Federation The Federation feature provides UC Advanced users with expanded IM capabilities.
When the UC Server is licensed for this feature, you can configure federation for the
Enterprise on the Federation Tab, and users can view IM presence and chat with
federated IM contacts using the Desktop Client's Chat window.
See Server-Level Features on page 24 for more information about federation.
Knowledge Management Users can index computer files and documents associated with a contact. When the
user receives and incoming call, the Knowledge Management popup window appears
presenting the user with a list of files associated with the caller including e-mail
messages, contact entries, and documents (Microsoft Word, Excel® PowerPoint®,
Outlook and Adobe® Portable Document Format).
Launchpad Users can access the Launchpad view, which provides quick access to frequently
completed actions, from their Desktop Client. Actions include dialing a number,
browsing to a URL, running a program, and exploring a folder.

Server-Level Features
Server-Level Features
Server-level licensed features include:
• Federation, below
• Peering on page 26
Federation
Federation provides a communication path between a single UC Server and one or more
external IM servers to provide UC Advanced users with presence and chat features for external
IM contacts. The communication path between the UC Server and the external IM server uses
the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). Figure 6 provides a basic federation
configuration diagram.
Figure 6. Federated Servers
Page 24 Mitel® Unified Communicator® Advanced Administrator Guide – Issue 5.0 SP1, October 2012
Features
Federation
There are two options you can use to configure Federation using the UC Server Administrator
interface:
• Configure an external IM server and perform an AD/LDAP synchronization with the server
from the Peer Server Details page. After synchronization, the IM server contacts are
imported to the UC Server database (visible from the Corporate Directory Tab, see
Figure 9 on page 27) and federation is automatically enabled. When you configure
federation this way, federated contacts are displayed in a separate list in the user's
corporate directory from the Desktop Client's Contacts View, similar to peered contacts
(see Figure 10 on page 27).
• Enable Federation and configure the federated server domain from the Federation Tab.
When you configure federation this way, instruct users to manually add the federated
contacts. Users should create a new personal contact, and then add the IM login
information for the contact using the UC Advanced Login option.
Refer to the UC Server Administrator interface online help for information and instructions about
configuring federation for UC Server.
Note the following guidelines for Federation:
• The site must purchase the Federation license for UC Server (see Table 1 on page 20).
• The external IM server must be installed and the IM server’s XMPP gateway must be
deployed before you can configure federation for UC Server. Refer to the IM server’s
documentation for information about configuring federation for the IM server.
• When configuring federation for UC Servers managing multiple Enterprises, each
enterprise should use a sub-domain with the same XMPP server domain. All sub-domains
must be resolvable by the IM server. For example, if the XMPP server is configured as
mitel.com, and two Enterprises (Phoenix and Las Vegas) exist on the UC Server, the
XMPP sub-domains should be Phoenix.mitel.com and LasVegas.mitel.com. Mitel
strongly suggests that you use the same value for the XMPP sub-domain as you use for
the Enterprise domain field (Enterprise tab) for each Enterprise.
• Presence for federated contacts is limited to IM presence only. UC Advanced account and
telephony status is not provided.
• Chat for federated contacts is limited to point-to-point only. Multi-party chat and file transfer
is not available.
Mitel® Unified Communicator® Advanced Administrator Guide – Issue 5.0 SP1, October 2012 Page 25
Features
Peering
Peering
UC Server Peering configures a communication path between a local UC Server and one or
more peered UC Servers within the same company or between different companies on the
same server. Peering UC Servers provides greater scalability for the UC Advanced product. UC
Server peering supports a combined maximum of 10,000 clients in the configuration.
It is possible to peer a UC Server connected to multi-node MCD system with a UC Server
connected to a multi-node Mitel 5000 system (see Figure 7).
Figure 7. Peered UC Servers
To configure UC Server peering, add one or more UC Servers from the Peering Tab – Peer
Server Details page in the UC Server Administrator interface (see Figure 8).
The Enterprise domain should be unique for each UC Server peer. Refer to the
NOTE
UC Server Administrator interface online help for details.
In addition to peering with UC Servers, you can configure Federation with an external IM server
from the Peer Server Details page by adding the external server and performing an AD/LDAP
synchronization with the server. See page 24 for details about Federation configuration.
Refer to the UC Server Administrator interface online help for information and instructions about
configuring peering for UC Server.
Page 26 Mitel® Unified Communicator® Advanced Administrator Guide – Issue 5.0 SP1, October 2012
Features
Peering
After peering has been established and a synchronization performed, peered contacts are
displayed on the Corporate Directory tab in the UC Server Administrator interface. Peered
corporate directories appear as sub-folders to the top-level local Corporate Directory (see
Figure 9). For each peered server, the directory tree structure displayed under the local
Corporate Directory folder mirrors the corporate directory structure on the peer server itself.
Figure 9. Peered Corporate Directories-UC Server Administrator Interface
Peered contacts are located in the Desktop Client Contacts view, and are organized within the
expanding peered server corporate directory (see Figure 10). Desktop Client users can view
presence information for peered contacts and can use UC Advanced communication features
such as chat, video, and collaboration with peered contacts.
Users can expand each peered server corporate directory to access peered contacts. Local
corporate contacts appear below the peered corporate directories.
Figure 10. Peered Corporate Contacts-Desktop Client
Mitel® Unified Communicator® Advanced Administrator Guide – Issue 5.0 SP1, October 2012 Page 27
Features
Peering
• Call routing rules must be configured properly in the PBX to route calls properly to the
peered server. The Peer Server Details page includes a field called Peer Dialing Prefix.
The value you enter for the Peer Dialing Prefix corresponds with the dialing prefix (not
including the outgoing call digit) that PBX users must dial to call an extension on the
networked PBX.The Peer Dialing Prefix is only required for PBX-to-PBX calls where the
networked PBXs are not configured for transparent extension dialing.
• When UC Servers are peered, the voice mail systems between the servers must be
networked and configured properly so that users are able to forward voice mail messages
to users on other servers.

About Account Synchronization
• PBX Node Synchronizer: Select this option if you want to populate the UC Advanced
accounts database using the user/extension information programmed for the MCD, Mitel
5000 PBX, or Inter-Tel Axxess PBX node database.
To provide ongoing synchronization between UC Advanced and the AD/LDAP or PBX node
directories, you can schedule automatic synchronizations. You can also complete manual
synchronizations for either type of synchronizer.
In addition to synchronization, you can also populate the UC Advanced accounts list by
manually creating accounts. Accounts that are created manually will automatically be
configured with the default account settings that you configure for the Enterprise.
About Presence
The UC Advanced presence feature allows users to monitor other users on the system.
Presence Server
Presence is provided by the Presence Server component on UC Server and consists of
following components which provide presence for UC Advanced users.
• SIP Proxy: A SIP-compliant proxy server that routes all the incoming SIP requests to the
correct components in UC Server.
• SIP Subscription Manager: Abstracts the SIP SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY semantics from the
application and implements the application-specific logic.
• IM Server: Maintains state information for offline IM messages and conferences. The IM
server uses the SIP Subscription Manager to track incoming SIP SUBSCRIBE requests
for offline IM and conference states. The SIP Subscription Manager also sends the
corresponding SIP NOTIFY requests to subscribers when it receives state changes from
the IM Server.

Presence Modes
Presence Modes
UC Server provides two presence modes for users:
• Universal Presence: Presence information for all corporate contacts is automatically
displayed to all users.
• On-Demand Presence: Presence information is hidden for all corporate contacts by
default. However, users can show and hide presence information on a per-contact basis.
By default, when a new Enterprise is created, Universal Presence is enabled for all corporate
contacts.
When one of the following occurs, presence automatically changes from Universal to On-
Demand for all Enterprises on the server:
• The corporate directory for the Enterprises exceeds 200 contacts.
• IM Federation is configured on the server.
• Peering is configured on the server.
If the corporate directory has fewer than 200 contacts, and if Federation and Peering are not
configured on the server, Universal presence remains as the default mode.
When presence changes from Universal to On-Demand, UC Server generates an e-mail
message about the change. The e-mail message is sent to the e-mail address configured in the
Administrator e-mail field on the Enterprise tab in the UC Server Administrator interface (see
page 101). If this field is left blank, no e-mail message is generated.
See Figure 11 for an example of the e-mail message that is generated when presence changes
from Universal to On-Demand.
Figure 11. Presence Change Notification E-mail Message
Inform users about the change in presence mode and refer them to the Contacts Context
Menu topic in the Desktop Client online help for instructions about showing and hiding presence
for corporate contacts.
Once On-Demand presence has been enabled, Universal presence is disabled and cannot be
enabled again, even if the corporate directory falls below 200 contacts, Peering configuration is
deleted, or Federation configuration is deleted.
Users who are licensed for the Console Option always have Universal presence
for all native UC Advanced contacts in the corporate directory, even if On-Demand
presence is enabled for the Enterprise. Console users must manually enable
NOTE
presence for federated and peered contacts. Refer console users to the Contacts
Context Menu topic in the Desktop Client online help for instructions about
showing and hiding presence for contacts.

o Dynamic Status Name: Provides a simple description for the Dynamic Status.
o Default message/custom text: Provides additional information for the selected Dynamic

o Calendar advisory text: Provides advisory messages that indicate a user's calendar
availability timing summary based on their Outlook, Lotus Notes or Exchange calendar
entries (for example, "In appointment until 2:30 PM", "Free until 11 AM").
By default, all users who log in to UC Advanced are provided with a list of
NOTE default Dynamic Statuses. The Status unknown message indicates that
the contact has not logged in to UC Advanced
• Telephony presence: The following icons indicate telephony presence for UC Advanced
corporate and peered contacts:
o Indicates that the contact's phone is idle.
o Indicates that the contact has enabled Do-Not-Disturb.
o Indicates the contact's phone is ringing.
o Indicates that the contact is on hold.
o Indicates that the contact's phone is busy.
o Indicates that the contact’s telephony presence is unknown.
• UC Advanced chat presence: The following icons indicate chat presence for corporate
and federated contacts:
o Indicates that the contact is online and available for chat.
o Indicates that the contact is away from his or her computer.
o No icon is present when the contact is offline.
The icons above are also used to display IM presence for federated
NOTE
contacts (see page 24).
• Instant Message presence: If you are licensed to use the Windows Live Messenger or
Office Communicator Integration features, UC Advanced displays presence icons for
contacts who have Windows Live Messenger or Office Communicator logins.
o Indicates that the contact is online for his or her Windows Live Messenger account.
o Indicates that the contact is offline for his or her Windows Live Messenger account.
o Indicates that the contact is online for his or her Office Communicator account.
o Indicates that the contact is offline for his or her Office Communicator account.
• Video presence: UC Advanced displays presence icons for corporate contacts who are
configured to engage in video calls:
o Indicates that the contact is currently accepting video calls.
o Indicates that the contact is currently involved in a video call or collaboration
session.
o No icon indicates that the contact is offline for video.

About Collaboration
About Collaboration
Mitel supports the Mitel Collaboration Advanced (MCA) - formerly known as Audio and Web
Conferencing (AWC) product to provide integrated collaboration features to UC Advanced
users. MCA collaboration features include video calls, audio conferences, web conferences,
and other tools such as desktop and application sharing, whiteboarding, and annotation.
The collaboration server is the central hub for all conference sessions. Conferences require a
server where the conference sessions are hosted, and all conference information flows through
the server before being distributed to the UC Advanced Desktop Client.
MCA is packaged on the Mitel Applications Suite (MAS) server, which is connected to the IP
network. The MAS server provides access to a Web-based administrator interface for
configuring MCA, scheduling conferences, viewing conference calls, and administering
collaboration controls. Users can access all interfaces through either HTTP or HTTPS.
For product information for MCA, refer to the Mitel Collaboration Advanced Configuration and
Maintenance Manual on the Mitel eDocs Web site (http://edocs.mitel.com).
Note the following when implementing collaboration integration for UC Advanced:
• To use collaboration features users must be licensed for the Collaboration Integration
feature (see Table 1 on page 20).
• If users receive a licensing error message when attempting to use collaboration features,
you may need to increase the number of collaboration port licenses for the MCA
collaboration server.
• The UC Server does not control the user limit for the collaboration servers. This is handled
by the MCA collaboration server.
• You can configure only one default MCA server per Enterprise. If more than one
Collaboration server is in use at the site, you must specify which MCA server should be
used on a per-account basis in the UC Server Administrator interface (see page 101).
• UC Advanced v5.0 requires MCA 4.0 or later. AWC v3.10 is not compatible with UC
Advanced v5.0.

Introduction
This chapter describes how to install and configure UC Advanced.
Planning Considerations
Before implementing the UC Advanced installation, make sure the site has the required
hardware, software, licensing (AMC Application Record), and virtualized environment (if the
virtual appliance option is used).
Also, determine the following:
• Which communications platform (see page 15) are you connecting to (MCD, Mitel 5000, or
Inter-Tel Axxess)?
• Which type of synchronization (see page 52) do you want to use to create accounts (PBX
node or AD/LDAP)? You can also manually create accounts.

Installation and Configuration
Configure the PBX
MCD PBX
All the required configuration to support UC Advanced for the MCD PBX is completed using the
Mitel Communications Director System Administration Tool. The information in this section
provides guidelines for UC Advanced -specific configuration only.
The following MCD System Administrator Tool forms include UC Advanced-specific fields and
options:
• User Configuration/Multiline IP Set Configuration Forms on page 76
• License and Option Selection Form on page 76
• Class of Service Options Form on page 76
• Personal Ring Group Assignment Form on page 76
Note the following for MCD PBXs:
• For sites that intend to use ACD PBX features in UC Advanced, UC Advanced supports
ACD traditional agents only.
• For sites that intend to use the PBX node synchronization method for creating accounts in
UC Advanced, special programming may be required if multiple directory number (DN)
records with the same name exist on the PBX. Typically, when UC Advanced encounters
multiple records with the same name during a synchronization with the MCD PBX, only the
highest directory number (DN) is brought over to UC Advanced. To ensure that all records
are included during a synchronization, DNs that share the same name require a unique
entry in the Department or Location fields. Refer to the User Configuration and Device
Configuration forms online help topics for details.
• The MCD system must be running system software v4.1 or later for remote click to call
OfficeLink functionality (see Table 12 on page 59).
• When you make changes to the PBX configuration, you will need to complete a manual
synchronization from the UC Server Administrator interface to import those changes to UC
Advanced (see page 168).
NOTICE
Only Mitel-certified personnel can configure the MCD PBX.

Users
Users
The UC Server retrieves information programmed in the Users and/or Phones folders to create
UC Advanced accounts.
If the Users information is configured for the Mitel 5000, but the Phones information is not, the
UC Advanced PBX node synchronizer retrieves the following information from the Users folder
in DB Programming to create UC Advanced accounts:
• Users: Configure the First Name and Last Name fields. These fields provide the value for
the account name on the UC Server.
Note the following:
o The Tilde character (~) before the First Name or Last Name excludes the account
from the synchronization.
If there is a phone programmed with the same extension under the
NOTE Phones folder and the Description does not include a tilde, the phone
will be included in the synchronization.
o If the First Name and Last Name fields are blank in DB Programming, UC Advanced
will create an account with no name.
If there is a phone programmed with the same extension under the
Phones folder and the Phones Extension field matches the User Main
NOTE
Extension field, then the name from the Phones Description field is
used for the synchronization.

Installation and Configuration
NuPoint Configuration Options
FCOS Options
The following NuPoint UM feature (FCOS) options are required for UC Advanced Desktop client
to control voice mail calls within the application:
• FCOS 289 Enable UM-SMTP
• FCOS 290 Enable UM-Web
• FCOS 295 Enable UM Pro
The following features are required for Caller ID to appear in the UC Advanced Desktop Client:
• FCOS 262 Store Caller Line ID as Phone Number
• FCOS 263 Store Caller Line ID as Phone or Mailbox Number
• FCOS 264 Play outside caller user interface (With FCOS bit 280)
• FCOS 280 Enable CLI Outside Caller interface (with FCOS bit 264)
Port Utilization
From the Visual Voice Mail view, users can listen to voice mail messages from the Desktop
Client as follows:
• Direct the voice mail system to place a call to their desk phones and play the message
using the “Request playback call” function.
• Play the message on their computer using the default media player.
When users direct the voice mail system to place a call to their desk phone, UC Advanced
consumes outgoing NuPoint UM ports, for the duration of the voice mail message. When users
play voice mail messages using their media player, no outgoing ports are consumed.
Be sure you have configured sufficient outgoing NuPoint UM ports for UC Advanced. If users
regularly receive a busy signal when directing the voice mail system to call their desk phone
and play voice mail messages, NuPoint UM may not have sufficient outgoing ports configured.
Refer to the NuPoint UM Port Utilization Report to capture port utilization details.
Like the UC Advanced server, the NuPoint UM server needs to have a publicly-
resolvable hostname. This hostname is used by the UC Advanced Desktop Client
and the Web Portal when users listen to voice mail messages using the media
NOTE
player installed on their computer. If users cannot access the NuPoint UM server
from their computers, voice mail message playback is limited to the “Request
playback call” option from the Desktop Client.

Client Firewalls
A client computer that uses a firewall, such as Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall, must
specify UCA.exe and UCASoftphoneManager.exe as exceptions in the firewall's configuration
settings. This allows UCA.exe and UCASoftphoneManager.exe to accept network traffic through
the firewall. The UC Advanced 5.0 client installer adds these exceptions automatically.

Custom Installation Options
IntelliMirror
Microsoft® IntelliMirror® management technologies can be used with Windows Installer to
deploy and manage the installation of Mitel UC Advanced client. Two policies must be
addressed when deploying UC Advanced for IntelliMirror:
• User Data Management
• Software Installation and Maintenance.
UC Advanced persists user settings such as window settings, the call log, history, personal
contacts, and favorites. These settings are saved in the user’s Application Data folder.
For deployment, UC Advanced should be assigned to users such that when a UC Advanced
user logs in to a computer that does not have UC Advanced installed, UC Advanced gets
installed.
If the site prevents software installations to be performed by the user, automatic
upgrades of the UC Advanced client deployed by IntelliMirror will fail during the
NOTE
process. Instead, use your current installation mechanism to deploy any client
upgrades.
The UC Advanced IP property should be set using an installer transform (see Creating a
Transform on page 111).
For more information refer to the Step-by-Step Guide to Software Installation and Maintenance
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/management/swinstall.asp).
Logon Script
The Windows Script Host can also be used to create a logon script for deploying UC Advanced.
Logon scripts use the same installation techniques as the software distribution point, except the
mechanism used to run the installer is a script rather than an Explorer shortcut. The logon script
is set through an Active Directory Group Policy. An example of a logon script that will install UC
Advanced might be
Set oShell = CreateObject(“Wscript.Shell”)
oShell.Run msiexec /i /q UnifiedCommunicatorAdvanced.msi
See the Windows Script Host (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/
script56/html/d78573b7-fc96-410b-8fd0-3e84bd7d470f.asp) site or the Windows Management
Instrumentation site (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa286547.aspx) for more
information on scripting.
SMS
Where scheduling, inventory, status, reporting, and support for deployment across a wide area
network is required, Microsoft recommends using Systems Management Server 2003 (SMS).
Again, refer to the syntax shown for Software Distribution Point to create the installer command
that SMS will run to install UC Advanced on the client computer. See Systems Management
Server Home (http://www.microsoft.com/smserver/) for more information on SMS.
Mitel® Unified Communicator® Advanced Administrator Guide – Issue 5.0 SP1, October 2012 Page 109
Installation and Configuration
Group Policy
Group Policy
You can create a Group Policy object to deploy UC Advanced clients. For a network install, the
installer can be assigned to users with a Group Policy object (GPO). The GPO should install the
software from an administrative image installed on a network share. For a detailed explanation
on how to install software using an Active Directory Group Policy, see Step-by-Step Guide to
Software Installation and Maintenance (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/
planning/management/swinstall.asp).
Citrix Deployments
The UC Advanced client can be deployed using the Citrix delivery system. UC Advanced
supports both Desktop mode and Web mode for the following Citrix versions:
• Citrix® XenApp® Client v4.5 (Requires Citrix Presentation™ Server 4.5, 32- or 64-bit)
• Citrix XenApp Client v5.0 (Requires Citrix XenApp Server 5.0, 32- or 64-bit)
The following restrictions apply when the client is running on a Citrix server:
• No softphone: UC Advanced acts as a desk phone controller under Citrix Presentation
Server. The Softphone option is not available to the user at client startup, nor does the
Configuration dialog box provide the Softphone Settings option. Softphone features such
as call recording and Teleworker are not available.
• No collaboration: The Collaboration feature is not available under Citrix. The Collab
menu does not appear in the main window and collaboration invitations sent to a user
running UC Advanced under Citrix do not cause an invitation pop-up to display. In
addition, video calls are not supported for Citrix deployments.
• Access to Citrix-based resources only: UC Advanced cannot access resources that
reside on the client workstation. This includes the local file system, PIMs, and instant
messaging clients. To be accessible to UC Advanced, these resources must reside on the
Citrix server:
o PIM integration: UC Advanced integrates normally with PIMs that are running on the
Citrix server.
o Exchange Server integration: UC Advanced integrates normally with the Microsoft
Exchange server.
o Knowledge Management: The Knowledge Management feature works the same on
Citrix, provided the indexed Outlook folders and file paths are on the Citrix server.
o Instant Messaging: UC Advanced integrates normally with Microsoft Messenger and
Microsoft Office Communicator (LCS) clients that are running on the Citrix server.
For information about setting up Citrix servers to run UC Advanced, refer to the Citrix product
documentation.
Page 110 Mitel® Unified Communicator® Advanced Administrator Guide – Issue 5.0 SP1, October 2012
Installation and Configuration
Installer Transforms
Installer Transforms
Windows Installer packages can be customized with installer transforms. Installer Transforms
are files that, when run with the installer package, modify certain installation properties and
application features.
The UC Advanced installer package requires that the UC Server IP property be set at install
time. If the installer package is executed without any command-line parameters setting this
property, the installer package prompts the user for it.
Alternatively, a transform can be created that will set this property. The transform can be
specified in the command string used to install UC Advanced or it can be specified when
installing software using an Active Directory Group Policy.
If the server IP property is set in this way, the installer can be run with reduced or “silent” user
interaction. More customization options can be found in the Windows Installer SDK
documentation (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988.aspx).
Creating a Transform
You can use third-party tools to create a transform. These tools are usually bundled with MSI
authoring tools. However, the transform is simple and can be created with a simple script using
COM components deployed on platforms supported by UC Advanced. The following script will
create a transform called transform.mst.
Option Explicit
Dim wi, basedb, db, fs, sh, infile, ip, sql, view
Const msiTransformValidationLanguage = 1
Const msiTransformErrorNone = 0
Const msiOpenDatabaseModeReadOnly = 0
Const msiOpenDatabaseModeTransact = 1
Set sh = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
If WScript.Arguments.Count < 2 Then
WScript.Echo “Usage: maketransform.vbs <input file> <ya server
ip>”
WScript.Quit
End If
Set fs = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemobject”)
Set wi = CreateObject(“WindowsInstaller.Installer”)
infile = WScript.Arguments(0)
ip = WScript.Arguments(1)
fs.CopyFile infile, “tmp.msi”
Set basedb = wi.opendatabase(infile, msiOpenDatabaseModeReadOnly)
Set db = wi.opendatabase (“tmp.msi”, msiOpenDatabaseModeTransact)
sql = “INSERT INTO Property (Property.Property, Property.Value)
VALUES” & _
“('UC_SERVER_HOSTNAME', '" & ip & “')”

Each UC Advanced Desktop Client that is configured in Teleworker mode must specify a
Directory Number in the Teleworker/Configuration dialog box (see page 116). You must
configure a corresponding Device ID on the MBG for each Directory Number used by a
UC Advanced Desktop Client operating in Teleworker mode.
The Device ID is a network MAC address consisting of 6 hexadecimal numbers
separated by colons. It starts with a1:21 and contains the Directory Number within the
digits. The 0 (zero) digit is replaced by the letter a. For example, a Directory Number of
3409 would have a Device ID of a1:21:00:00:34:a9.
The Device ID is also available on the user’s computer in the tunnel.ini
file under C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application

o Enterprise Details: This page shows the detailed Exchange Integration configuration
information for a specific enterprise.
– Enterprise Name: UCA enterprise name
– Access URL: The Exchange Web Services (EWS) URL on the Exchange server.
UCA retrieves user calendar information from this URL.
– Impersonation Enabled?: Indicates whether or not UCA Exchange integration is
configured to use impersonation.
– Server Access Username: Displays the Exchange username that is used to
retrieve calendar information.
– Access Credentials Valid?: Indicates whether or not the Exchange access
username and password are valid.
– Server active?: Indicates whether or not Exchange Integration is active for this
enterprise. If there are any errors, then this flag shows “No”. If error details are
available, those details are shown at the bottom of the page (see Error Details
below). If the server is not active, you can correct the error condition, go back to
UCA Server Configuration -> Enterprise tab -> Exchange Integration, test the
connection, and apply the changes. This procedure causes the UCA server to re-
initiate communication with the Exchange server.
– Is Temporarily Disabled?: Indicates whether or not Exchange Integration for this
enterprise has been temporarily suspended. The UCA server can temporarily stop
communicating with the Exchange server if multiple timeouts are detected within a
short span of time.
– Version: Displays the Exchange server version.
– Users List: The lists displayed are categorized according to users’ Exchange
Integration status and are based on error conditions, if any exist:
Number of Valid Users: Lists users who have Exchange Integration configured. If
a user has another type of Calendar Integration configured (such as Outlook or
Lotus Notes), then that user does not show up in this list.
Active Users: Lists a subset of valid users and contains only those users whose
Exchange Integration is active. Users who have configured Exchange Integration
but have disabled it or those who have been deactivated because of errors do not
show up in this list.
Deactivated due to impersonation error: If impersonation is not configured
correctly on the Exchange server, Exchange Integration can be deactivated for the
affected users. Once impersonation is configured correctly, you can click on
“Reactivate Users” to reactivate Exchange Integration for the affected users.
The other lists pertain to various error conditions.
o Error Details: This section lists the number of accumulated errors. If Exchange
Integration can recover from the errors (such as timeouts), then the error count
accumulates to a limit (currently 20) after which Exchange Integration is disabled for
that enterprise. If this happens, you will have to test the connection again and apply
changes before UCA will re-enable Exchange Integration for that enterprise. If the
system encounters an error from which it cannot recover, Exchange Integration is
immediately disabled. The following is an example of an unrecoverable error:
o User Lists: Select a user from the list or enter the user’s UCA login ID and click Show
User Details. This takes you to the user’s Exchange Integration details page.
o User Details: This page displays details about the user’s Exchange Integration
configuration and status. Most of the settings shown here are configured by the user

After correcting the error conditions, you can click on “Reactivate User” to have
UCA reinitiate the user’s Exchange Integration. If the error condition persists or
another error is displayed, the user is deactivated again.
NOTE: In most cases, user reactivation should be done by the user correcting the
incorrect configuration parameters, NOT by administrative action. The “Reactivate
User” button is provided as an additional mechanism for you to troubleshoot
problems.

Reinitialize System
The Reinitialize System section of the Mitel UC Server Administration page provides a
mechanism to default the system database.
CAUTION
Loss of Data: Reinitializing the system defaults the system database, which deletes all of the
values that you have configured for the system. Do not reinitialize the system unless you are
instructed to do so by a Mitel Product Support Specialist. After you complete this task, you
will need to reconfigure the entire system.

Account Totals
Account Totals
Account totals are displayed just before the SUMMARY END tag.
Account totals (see Figure 27) provide account counts for the various processing categories.
Account totals should add up to the category counts from all the domains.
Account totals include the following information:
• Accounts pulled from LDAP server: This is the total number of accounts retrieved from
the LDAP server. Currently, UC Advanced can retrieve a maximum of 9000 eligible
accounts from the LDAP server. If the LDAP server contains more than 9000 eligible
accounts, those accounts in excess of the 9000 account maximum will not be retrieved.
If no accounts were pulled from the LDAP server, one of the following may have occurred:
o The synchronizer configuration did not contain any eligible accounts. Note that an
overly restrictive LDAP query can cause this.
o A synchronization error occurred. Synchronization errors are displayed at the top of
the domain summary. For example:
Error: Error establishing LDAP Context for url ldap://
127.0.0.1:389/DC=test,DC=mitel,DC=com: [LDAP: error code 49 -
80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C090334, comment: AcceptSecurityContext
error, data 52e, vece
• Accounts sent for account creation: This is the total number of accounts that should be
created on UC Server if the synchronization is successful.
If you do not see this many accounts on your UC server, the following issues may be the
cause:
o Synchronization incomplete: The synchronization process may not be complete yet.
Refresh the Synchronization tab on the UC Server Administrator interface to show the
status of the synchronization.
o Insufficient licenses: UC Server may not have a sufficient number of licenses available
to create all of the accounts. View the dsm.log.* and jboss.log.* files for further details.
o Incorrect PBX Node IP address: Accounts may not have their PBX Node IP address
set to one of the configured PBX Nodes in the UC Server Administrator interface.
• Accounts rejected: This is the total number of accounts that were rejected when the
synchronization occurred due to invalid, missing, or incorrectly mapped LDAP attributes.

Troubleshooting
Account Reactivation Following License Changes
To properly provision licensed features to UC Advanced users, you must do all of the following
• Verify UC Advanced licenses from the AMC (see page 96).
• Sync the UC Server with the AMC to update licenses (see page 96).
• Provision the features to users in the Unified Communications Administrator interface:
o Create a Feature Profile by selecting the licensed features for the profile.
o Assign the Feature Profile to accounts.
Refer to the UC Server Administrator interface online help for details.
The following procedure describes how to reactivate accounts after making licensing changes.
To reactivate licensed features:
1. Open a Web browser and navigate to the MSL server manager URL (for example,
http://<MSL_server_FQDN>/server-manager) where the UC Server is installed.
The server manager log in page appears.
2. Log in to the MSL server manager interface. The Welcome to the Server Manager
page appears.

Problem Reporting Tool
The Problem Reporting Tool dialog box prompts the user to provide both a brief and detailed
description of the problem.
Figure 31. UC Advanced Problem Reporting Tool Description Dialog Box
By default, the Desktop Client attaches the following compressed log files to the report:
• ucc.log.1
• SipSubscriber1
• uca.dmp (if available)
• SoftphoneManager.log
After the user sends the report, the log files sent by the Desktop Client are combined with
server log files into a single ZIP file. You receive an e-mail message notifying you that a
problem report has been generated, the name of the ZIP file, and the log files that are included.
The e-mail message provides the descriptions that the user entered in the Problem Reporting
Tool dialog box. An example of an e-mail message generated from a problem report is shown in
Figure 32 on page 174.
The report is sent to the e-mail address configured in the MSL Server Manager
interface under Configuration – E-mail settings – Forwarding address for
NOTE
administrative e-mail (see page 93). It is assumed that the UC Advanced
administrator and the MSL administrator are the same person.
The compressed log file included with the report is stored on the UC Server in the /var/log/
feedback directory. The file includes a timestamp that indicates when it was generated. The
timestamp includes year, month, calendar date, hour, minute, and second.
Client log files sent to the server can be retrieved using the MSL Server Manager View log files
function (see page 155). After 30 days client log files are automatically deleted from the server.
For information about MSL administrator tasks, refer to the MSL Server Manager online help or
the MSL Installation and Administration Guide available on the Mitel eDocs Web site (http://
edocs.mitel.com) for details and instructions.
