MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
MiCollab for Mobile simplified deployment
MiCollab Client 7.0 introduces a new blade which allows for the simplified deployment of MiCollab for Mobile. This solution is supported in integrated and co-located MiCollab Client deployments.
Note:
A trusted third party Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) web certificate is required for MiCollab Client deployment. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an encryption technology that creates a secure connection between a web server and a client's web browser. Information that is transmitted must be encrypted to prevent security issues such as eavesdropping or data tampering. An SSL web certificate is purchased from a Certificate Authority and installed on the web server to enable encryption. SSL encryption is required between the MiCollab servers and MiCollab for Mobile phone users because sensitive user information and configuration data is transmitted during the deployment of the clients. The SSL web certificate ensures that the MiCollab for Mobile clients establish secure connections during deployment.
Refer to the MiCollab Client Deployment help for instructions.
End users are no longer required to enter configuration settings such as server and SIP credentials.
Administrators configure these settings and MiCollab for Mobile clients are deployed Over the Air
(OTA). The administrator portal enables administrators to:
• deploy large groups
• leverage profiles
• download multiple files to the clients
• update clients
A new, customizable deployment e-mail with end user credentials is sent to MiCollab for Mobile users.
Note:
The first time you log into MiCollab Client Deployment, connect MBGs for user import before importing user records. Go to Configuration, Connections to MBGs.
If you change a user’s ID, you need to factory reset and redeploy the MiCollab for Mobile application. A new deployment e-mail needs to be sent to the user.
SIP transport protocol considerations for Android devices
Some versions of the Android OS do not allow large SIP packets from being sent to port 5060 when the SIP transport protocol is configured as TCP. To prevent this issue, set the SIP transport protocol to UDP or TLS. TLS directs all SIP traffic to port 5061 by default.
Go to MiCollab Client Deployment, Deployment Profiles, SIP transport protocol.
The list of known devices include the following:
• HTC One M7
• HTC One Mini 601n
• HTC One M8
• HTC One M9
12
Overview
• HTC One X
• Sony Xperia Z
• Sony Xperia Z2
• Sony Xperia Z3
• Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
• Cat B15Q
• YotaPhone 2
Note:
Administrators may find it helpful to associate users with these devices in a separate deployment profile.
This list is subject to change. Please retrieve the latest version of this guide to ensure accuracy.
Migrating existing MiCollab UC-Client users to MiCollab for Mobile
If you are deploying MiCollab for Mobile to existing MiCollab UC-Client users, the users need to remove the MiCollab UC-Client application from their devices. When you deploy MiCollab for Mobile to these user accounts using MiCollab Client Deployment in MiCollab administrator programming, users receive a deployment e-mail with installation options.
If existing or new users have multiple devices, they need to install the client on each device.
For more information about simplified deployment configuration, see MiCollab Client Deployment help.
MiVoice 5000 and MiVoice MX-ONE integration
When deployed in a MiCollab environment, MiCollab Client can be integrated with MiVoice 5000,
MiVoice MX-ONE, and MiVoice Office 400.
For more information, see MiCollab Platform Integration Guide.
MiCollab Vidyo integration
MiCollab Desktop Client supports VidyoDesktop integration, allowing users to click an icon to join another user’s personal Vidyo Room.

MiCollab corporate directory
MiCollab Client supports:
• 40,000 contacts in the corporate directory (MiVB or MiVoice MX-ONE) with eight peered MiCollab servers.
• 20,000 contacts in the corporate directory (Other platforms) with four peered MiCollab servers.
MiCollab Desktop Client loads the corporate directory during MiCollab Desktop Client startup. If the number of contacts in the corporate directory is more than preconfigured number on the server, the default view displays the Favorites and the Custom Group folders. If the number of contacts in the corporate directory is less than the preconfigured number on the server, the corporate directory contacts are stored locally.
MiCollab Desktop Client searches for contacts from the corporate directory and the favorite folders.
The search merges and displays the local contacts and the search results from server. For more information, see the MiCollab Client Administrator help.
External LDAP Directory Search for MiCollab Clients
MiCollab Client users can search for corporate contacts from an external directory, such as Mitel
MetaDirectory.
To enable this functionality:
• The MiCollab Server must be in the integrated mode.
An Integrated Directory Services connection must be configured with “External search” activated to access the external directory (LDAP) from MiCollab Client. Only one connection to an external directory is supported.
By default, the MiCollab Clients store the results of the last six searches performed on the external directory for 15 minutes. If there are any changes made to the external directory, the changes are reflected in the search results only after this period.
For information about configuring access to an external directory, see MiCollab Server help file.
The searchable attributes in the External LDAP Directory are:

Registry key to control the integration: Set the HKCU\Software\IM Providers\DefaultIMApp key to MiCollab to switch the integration. Restart Outlook to bring registry into effect.
iOS CallKit integration with MiCollab
iOS CallKit is integrated with MiCollab to provide MiCollab call accept on lock screen and enable
GSM and MiCollab call swap. Apple’s API is integrated with MiCollab to enable this feature.
Ad-hoc Conference
Ad-hoc Conference is an instant conference created on all MiCollab Desktop Clients (MiCollab for
PC Client, MiCollab MAC Desktop Client, and MiCollab Web Client). The user must have access to
MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing. This feature does not apply to MiCloud Business
Multi-Instance (SB-Cloud) deployment.
If MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing is available (collabUsername is set in the user account info) on the Desktop Client, a Conference entry will be displayed in the left drawer above
Settings.
The conference initiator can create an instant conference and add participants. MiCollab users are added using the directory search and non-MiCollab users are added by entering their e-mail addresses in the MiCollab Client Search box. When the initiator clicks the Start Conference button, an AWV conference will be created. The initiator will be automatically logged into the conference, with the leader capabilities in the Web Client.
Note:
Invited participants will receive an e-mail, that contains the Conference URL. In case the Dial-in number details do not show up in the e-mail, it can be found in the Meeting Details section of the conference main window.
SSL certificate validation
MiCollab Desktop Client now performs SSL certificate validation. Note the following:
• If the SSL certificate cannot be validated, the user is prompted for confirmation. Once confirmed, the certificate is stored in the Windows certificate store under the name Mitel Trusted for use in future connections. Any change to the certificate results in MiCollab Desktop Client prompting the user for confirmation.
• If the certificate has expired, the user receives a popup message informing them of the expiration and that required functionalities, such as download peered contact picture from peered server and Vidyo conference, are not available from that server.
The message is displayed once. Further requests for access to that server are rejected silently.
• If no certificate is presented, the connection is rejected.
Note:
It is recommended you use a trusted certificate issued by third-party certificate authority for SSL.
To delete the certificate from the Windows store:
1. Type certmgr.msc in a command line window to open the Windows Certificate Store.

Server-Level features
Server-level licensed features include:
•
•
Federation
Federation provides a communication path between a single MiCollab Client Service and one or more external IM servers to provide MiCollab Client users with presence and chat features for external IM contacts. The communication path between the MiCollab Client Service and the external
IM server uses the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP).
provides a basic federation configuration diagram.
32
Figure 2: Federated servers
Note:
For v6.0, external IM server support is limited to Microsoft Lync 2010 and IBM Lotus®
Sametime® Server 8.5, 8.5.1, and 8.5.2.
MiCollab Client Service federation capabilities are provided by the following services:
• Subscription Federation service: Creates subscriptions for local MiCollab Client users to external presence servers.
• Presence Gateway service: Sends presence information to/from the MiCollab Client Presence
Server (see
“Presence server” on page 65 ) and the external IM presence server. This service
translates information from SIP to XMPP, and vice versa. The Presence Gateway service allows
MiCollab Desktop Client users to view and refresh IM presence information for external IM
Features
contacts. MiCollab Client account presence (Dynamic Status) and telephony presence is not available through this service.
• Instant Messaging (IM) service: Allows MiCollab Desktop Client users to chat (point-to-point) with external IM contacts using the MiCollab Desktop Client Chat window. Federated chat sessions are page-mode conversations, similar to a two-way pager device or Short Message Service
(SMS), where a small number of independent messages are exchanged between two participants and are perceived as part of the same conversation. Page mode does not support multi-party chat or file transfer.
There are two options you can use to configure Federation using the MiCollab Client Service
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
erated contacts are displayed in a separate list in the user's corporate directory from the MiCollab
Desktop Client's Contacts View, similar to peered contacts (see
• 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 MiCollab ClientLogin option.
See the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface online help for information and instructions about configuring federation for MiCollab Client Service.
Note the following guidelines for Federation:
• The site must purchase the Federation license for MiCollab Client Service (see
• The external IM server must be installed and the IM server’s XMPP gateway must be deployed before you can configure federation for MiCollab Client Service. See the IM server’s documentation for information about configuring federation for the IM server. See MiCollab Client
Engineering Guidelines for further details.
• Presence for federated contacts is limited to IM presence only. MiCollab Client 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.
Note:
Federation with Border Gateway in the network path between MiCollab Client Service and the federated server (Skype for Business or IBM Sametime) is supported as of MiCollab Client
6.0. This is accomplished by adding Border Gateway connector for TCP port 5269 in Border
Gateway v8.0.

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Peering
MiCollab Client Service Peering configures a communication path between a local MiCollab Client
Service and one or more peered MiCollab Client Services within the same company or between different companies on the same server. Peering MiCollab Client Services provides greater scalability for the MiCollab Client product. MiCollab Client Service peering supports a combined maximum of 20,000 clients in the configuration.
It is possible to peer a MiCollab Client Service connected to multi-node MiVoice Business system with a MiCollab Client Service connected to a multi-node MiVoice Office 250 system (see
34
Figure 3: Peered MiCollab Client Services
To configure MiCollab Client Service peering, add one or more MiCollab Client Services from the
Peering Tab – Peer Server Details page in the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface.
Note:
The enterprise domain should be unique for each MiCollab Client Service peer. See the MiCollab
Client Service Administrator interface online help for details.
In addition to peering with MiCollab Client Services, 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
for details about Federation configuration.
See the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface online help for information and instructions about configuring peering for MiCollab Client Service.
After peering has been established and a synchronization performed, peered contacts are displayed on the Corporate Directory tab in the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface. Peered corporate directories appear as sub-folders to the top-level local Corporate Directory (see
Directory folder mirrors the corporate directory structure on the peer server itself.

Peered contacts are located in the MiCollab Desktop Client Contacts view, and are organized within
the expanding peered server corporate directory (see Figure 5 ). MiCollab Desktop Client users can
view presence information for peered contacts and can use MiCollab Client 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 5: Peered Corporate Contacts-MiCollab Desktop Client
Note the following guidelines for peered MiCollab Client Services:
• All peered MiCollab Client Services must be running identical versions of MiCollab Client software.
• To peer with another MiCollab Client Service, a site must purchase the Peering license (see
Table 3 on page 28 ). The Peering license controls the connection initiated by the local MiCollab
Client Service and not the connection established from the peer MiCollab Client Service.
• Each MiCollab Client Service in a peered configuration operates independently and is maintained and managed by the administrator assigned to that server. If a MiCollab Client Service in a peered configuration is unavailable, the other servers in the configuration are not affected.
• If contacts are hidden from the corporate directory on the local MiCollab Client Service, they will also be hidden on a peered MiCollab Client Service.

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
• 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 MiCollab Client Services 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.

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
About Account Synchronization
MiCollab Client supports two types of synchronization to quickly populate the MiCollab Client accounts list based on your existing PBX node, Active Directory (AD), or Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) corporate directory. Synchronizer types include:
• AD/LDAP Synchronizer: Using this option you can populate the MiCollab Client accounts database using the corporate AD or LDAP directory. The MiCollab Client Service can integrate with single or multiple LDAP v3-enabled directory servers to import accounts. If you intend to use AD/LDAP synchronization to import accounts into MiCollab Client, make sure your directory server supports LDAP v3. The Microsoft 2003 Server LDAP/AD server supports LDAP v3.
Note:
See the following topics in the MiCollab Client Service Administrator online help for detailed information about AD/LDAP Corporate Directory Synchronizers:
• Synchronization Tab
• Adding and Editing AD/LDAP Synchronizers
• PBX Node Synchronizer: Select this option if you want to populate the MiCollab Client accounts database using the user/extension information programmed for the MiVoice Business or MiVoice
Office 250 PBX.
To provide ongoing synchronization between MiCollab Client 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 MiCollab Client accounts list by manually creating accounts. Accounts that are created manually will automatically be configured with the default account settings.

Features
About Presence
The MiCollab Client presence feature allows users to monitor other users on the system.
Presence server
Presence is provided by the Presence Server component on MiCollab Client Service and consists of the following components which provide presence for MiCollab Client users.
• SIP Proxy: A SIP-compliant proxy server that routes all the incoming SIP requests to the correct components in MiCollab Client Service.
• 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 NO-
TIFY requests to subscribers when it receives state changes from the IM Server.
Presence modes
MiCollab Client utilizes Dynamic Presence which means the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client will automatically display presence for the contacts in the current view.
Notes:
• When the user is filtering or scrolling the contact list there may be a brief delay between when the contact is displayed and when the presence for the contact is displayed. This delay is the amount of time it takes for the client to request the presence from the server and for the server to respond with the presence updates. This delay is minimal, however there are certain conditions like server load which may increase this delay.
• Users who are licensed for the Console Option will work in much the same way as the main contact list. The client will only subscribe to presence for contacts that are visible. Refer console users to the Contacts Context Menu topic in the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client online help for instructions about showing and hiding presence for contacts.
65
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Types of presence
When the Presence licensed feature is enabled for a user, the following information is displayed in the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client Contacts view for MiCollab Client contacts:
• Dynamic Status: Incorporates the following elements to provide status and availability information for MiCollab Client users:
• Dynamic Status Name: Provides a simple description for the Dynamic Status.
• Default message/custom text: Provides additional information for the selected Dynamic
Status.
• Calendar advisory text: Provides advisory messages that indicate a user's calendar availability timing summary based on their Google, Outlook, Lotus Notes, Office 365, or Exchange calendar entries (for example, “In appointment until 2:30 PM”, “Free until 11 AM”).
Note:
By default, all users who log in to MiCollab Client are provided with a list of default Dynamic
Statuses. The Status unknown message indicates that the contact has not logged in to
MiCollab Client.
MiCollab Desktop Client (legacy Desktop Client) Presence
• Telephony presence: The following icons indicate telephony presence for MiCollab Client corporate and peered contacts:
• Indicates that the contact's phone is idle.
•
•
•
• Indicates the contact's phone is ringing.
Indicates that the contact is on hold.
Indicates that the contact's phone is busy or has enabled Do-Not-disturb.
Indicates that the contact’s telephony presence is offline.
• MiCollab Client chat presence: The following icons indicate chat presence for corporate and federated contacts:
•
• Indicates that the contact is online and available for chat.
Indicates that the contact is away from his or her computer.
• No icon is present when the contact is offline.
Note:
• Video presence: MiCollab Client displays presence icons for corporate contacts who are configured to engage in video calls:
• Indicates that the contact is currently accepting video calls.
• No icon indicates that the contact is offline for video.

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Dynamic Status
Dynamic Status provides a way for the user to control and communicate their presence and availability, and customize their call routing. MiCollab Client provides default Dynamic Statuses as
per Table 13 Dynamic Status defaults . The user can add, edit, and delete Dynamic Statuses as
needed on their individual clients (for example, see Manage Statuses on MiCollab Windows Desktop
Client).
Notes:
• Softphone or deskphone2 is treated as Home IP phone.
• Additional EHDU numbers (after the first one) are not taken into account in the setting of dynamic statuses.
• The above logic is executed only when the account has no account statuses defined in the account status table in MiCollab Client Service. The account will be in this default state of 'no statuses' until the user connects to MiCollab Client Service from one of the MiCollab Client s, the very first time.
• If account has one or more valid account status, changes in account's phone numbers or adding voicemail number later will not create additional statuses.
• The web service call to create the default account statuses will also create the favorites and loginNotify group for that account. The loginNotify group is created if it did not exist before.
The favorites group is created if no user defined groups exists for that account.

Features
About Collaboration
Mitel supports the MiCollab Audio, Web, and Video Conferencing - formerly known as Mitel
Collaboration Advanced (MCA) product to provide integrated collaboration features to MiCollab
Client users. MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing 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 MiCollab Windows Desktop Client.
MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing is packaged on the MiCollab server, which is connected to the IP network. The MiCollab server provides access to a Web-based administrator interface for configuring MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing, scheduling conferences, viewing conference calls, and administering collaboration controls. Users can access all interfaces through either HTTP or HTTPS.
For product information for MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing, see the MiCollab
Installation and Maintenance Manual on the Mitel eDocs Web site (http://edocs.mitel.com).
Note the following when implementing collaboration integration for MiCollab Client:
• To use collaboration features users must be licensed for the Collaboration Integration feature
(see
• 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 MiCollab Audio, Web and
Video Conferencing collaboration server.
• The MiCollab Client Service does not control the user limit for the collaboration servers. This is handled by the MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing collaboration server.
• You can configure only one default MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing server. If more than one Collaboration server is in use at the site, you must specify which MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing server should be used on a per-account basis in the MiCollab Client
Service Administrator interface (see
• MiCollab Client v7.0 requires MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing 5.0 or later. Earlier versions of MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing or AWC are not compatible with
MiCollab Client v7.0.

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
About SIP
MiCollab Client supports SIP - Session Initiation Protocol. MiCollab Windows Desktop Client as well as Mobile Clients (Android and iPhone) all support a SIP softphone and can operate with MiVoice
Conference Phone devices and MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing. In addition, MiCollab
Client is capable of operating with a number of third party SIP Servers and SIP end points such as
SIP phones, Audio Conference Units and Video Conference Units.
Mitel maintains a SIP Centre of Excellence (SIP CoE); the CoE performs interoperability testing between third party devices and Mitel SIP devices. The CoE generates documents that cover the results of the interoperability tests and how the devices should be configured for successful interoperation.
For the complete list of devices that can interoperate with please see Knowledge Base article called the SIP Technical Reference Guide 08-5159-00014. This Reference Guide can be found on Mitel
On-Line under ‘Support’ and then under ‘Mitel Knowledge Base’.

Features
About OfficeLink
MiCollab Client 3.2 and later includes the OfficeLink feature. Using this feature, users can place calls from the devices configured for them on the PBX from MiCollab Web Client.
PBX software requirements
Supported device types and OfficeLink functionality are determined by the following factors:
• The PBX that is connected to the MiCollab Client Service
• The software version running on the PBX
At a minimum, the MiCollab Client OfficeLink feature requires the following PBX system software:
• Latest MiVoice Business release with latest SP is recommended (Release 5.0 SP2 is required for SIP softphone)
•
Latest MiVoice Office 250 release with latest SP is recommended (Release 5.1 is required for
SIP softphone).
Note:
OfficeLink is currently not supported on the MiVoice 5000, MiVoice MX-One, and MiVoice
Office 400 platforms.
Devices must be configured as follows in the PBX programming application to be available for use with the MiCollab Client OfficeLink feature:
• MiVoice Business System Administration Tool: MiCollab Client users can use devices configured in the user's Personal Ring Group (PRG) for the OfficeLink and Multi-Device User Group
(MDUG) features.
PRGs are an association of two or more devices for a single user under a common Directory
Number (DN). Complete the following programming from the MiVoice Business System

Features
Teamwork Mode
Teamwork Mode provides the ability for a user to have certain MiCollab Client functions without having a Mitel phone. In other words, a user will still be able to use certain non-telephony based features within the client even though the user does not have a desk phone or softphone.
Licensing
There are no new or additional licenses required specific to the Teamwork Mode feature.
Licenses for individual features such as Chat, Visual Voicemail, etc...are still required.
Client impacts
Since Teamwork Mode users have no devices associated with their account, telephony specific features will be hidden or not available on the following clients:
• MiCollab Windows Desktop Client
• MiCollab for Mobile
• MiCollab Web Client
However, features such as contact grouping, presence, dynamic status and chat are supported.
User interface
Teamwork Mode is not something the user can change and therefore there will be no indication that the user is running in Teamwork Mode. A user in Teamwork Mode will still appear in the contact list of other MiCollab Client s but without telephony presence. In addition, a user in Teamwork Mode will still be able to see the telephony presence of other contacts if these are available.
Routing information
The main screen on all mobile and Web Clients displays routing information for the user’s current status. This section will be hidden for users in Teamwork Mode.
OfficeLink
OfficeLink functionality will be hidden from the user in Teamwork Mode. However, native dialing will still be available from the various clients, for example a BlackBerry user is still able to use the
BlackBerry Smart Dialing feature to call other MiCollab Client users from the Company Directory.
Call History
The Call History feature will be hidden for Teamwork Mode users.

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
MiCollab Client for VMware Horizon view
MiCollab Client version 5.0 introduced support for VMware Horizon View. MiCollab Client for VMware
Horizon View now enables a MiCollab Client softphone to function as a plug-in to VMware View virtual desktops.
Note:
VMware Horizon View is supported only on MiCollab Desktop Client (legacy Desktop Client). For more information about supported versions and features, see the Virtual Appliance Deployment
Solutions Guide.
The following are the supported VMware Horizon View configuration attributes:
• Linked-Clone virtual desktop pools
• Dedicated-Assignment desktop pools
• Floating-Assignment desktop pools
• Full VM desktop
• View Persona Management
Notes:
• Floating-Assignment desktop with View Persona Management is strongly recommended.
However, there are situations where View Persona Management is not desirable, for example, where the administrator want all data to be wiped clean between sessions (eg. kiosk, guest access).
• Local mode and Windows Roaming Profile are NOT supported.
MiCollab Client Direct Media
With MiCollab Client Direct Media architecture, the real-time sensitive media path flows directly between any two endpoints. It does not need to be processed in the VDI (Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure) back end or traverse the WAN/Internet paths between the endpoints and the backend.
This architecture prevents “tromboning” which has scalability issues resulting from a topology requiring extensive VDI backend use.
Referring to
Figure 7 on page 81 , the basic system consists of:
• A collection of View virtual desktops, managed by the View Connection Server
• VMware Horizon View Connection Server - this manages the View sessions
• A collection of physical endpoints (Thin Clients / PC’s running View Client), used to present the virtual desktop to the end user
• VMware Horizon View Agent software
• VMware Horizon View Client software
• MiVoice Business
80
Features
• MiCollab Client Service
• MiCollab Client in the View environment, this resides in the virtual desktop
• MiCollab Client Plugin, installed in the physical endpoint in the View environment, this contains the media portion of the MiCollab Client and handles the actual media streaming.
Note:
The version of MiCollab Client Plugin installed in the physical endpoint device must align with the version of the MiCollab Client installed in the virtual desktop for correct functioning of MiCollab
Client on VMware Horizon View. For more information, see the MiCollab Client Release Notes.
The View media services API, running over the PCoIP side channel to the View client, is used to control media functions of the MiCollab Client Plugin in the physical client device.
See the Virtual Appliance Deployment Solutions Guide for version and feature support.
Figure 7: Flat network topology
In a more complex architecture shown in
below, MiVoice Border Gateways can be used to include remote users such as a branch or small office into the VMware Horizon view solution. A network DMZ configuration is used to contain the PCoIP Secure Gateway (also known as Security Server) and Border Gateway components.

PBX node environments
The MiCollab Client site’s PBX provides call control for MiCollab Client local and remote users. The following PBX configurations are supported for MiCollab Client:
• Single MiVoice Business/ MiVoice Office 250/PBX Node
• Multiple MiVoice Business/ MiVoice Office 250/PBX Nodes
• Multiple mixed MiVoice Business/MiVoice Office 250/PBX Nodes
• Single MiCollab and single MiVoice Office 400
• Single or multiple MiCollabs (up to four) and MiVoice 5000
• Single or multiple MiCollabs (up to eight) and MiVoice Business
• Single or multiple MiCollabs (up to eight) and MiVoice MX-ONE
MiCollab Client Service is capable of communicating with multiple PBXs to provide a global view for the MiCollab Client clients. Call commands from the MiCollab Client interface to the server are directed to the respective PBX by the MiCollab Client Service based on which PBX the account resides.
A single MiCollab Client Service can support MiVoice Business, MiVoice Office 250, and PBX nodes.
However, in the MiCollab Client Service Administrator Interface, a single enterprise can be configured with just one PBX type.
Multiple mixed PBX type environments are only supported within the same company and require a separate enterprise per PBX type.
Note:
If you need to delete a PBX node with 5,000 users, you need to delete the users first and then you can delete the PBX node.

Installation and Configuration
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Introduction
This chapter describes how to install and configure MiCollab Client.
Planning considerations
Before implementing the MiCollab Client installation, make sure the site has the required hardware, software, licensing (AMC Application Record), and virtualized environment (if the virtual appliance is used).
Note:
A trusted third party SSL certificate is required for MiCollab Client Deployment. Install the certificate on the MBG in the DMZ and on the MiCollab on the LAN. See Manage Web Server Certificate in the MSL help file for more information.
Also, determine the following:
• Which communications platform (see
“Supported Communication Platforms (PBXs)” on page 22
) are you connecting to (MiVoice Business or MiVoice Office 250)?
• Which type of synchronization (see
“About Account Synchronization” on page 64
) do you want to use to create accounts (PBX node or AD/LDAP)? You can also manually create accounts.
Note:
The MiCollab Client Service can integrate with single or multiple LDAP v3-enabled directory servers to import accounts. If you intend to use AD/LDAP synchronization to import accounts into MiCollab Client, make sure your directory server supports LDAP v3.
• How will remote users connect to the MiCollab Client Service? Options include:
• Teleworker mode (MiVoice Border Gateway and Remote Proxy Services) for MiVoice Busi-
• Firewall ports for MiVoice Office 250 users (see the Mitel MiCollab Client Engineering Guide-
lines for details).
• Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection.
• Which Mitel applications will be integrated with MiCollab Client (e.g., MiCollab UM, MiCollab
Audio, Web and Video Conferencing, MiVoice Border Gateway, etc.)? Several features (Video
Calls, Collaboration, Visual Voice Mail, MiCollab Client Service Peering, Federation, etc.) require you to configure the associated servers.
Do the following for all integrated applications:
• Make sure that you have downloaded all of the documentation for each product. The individual application documentation includes detailed hardware, software, and licensing requirements as well as installation and configuration instructions.
• Make sure that you have completed the required configuration for each server before starting the MiCollab Client installation.
• Review all of the planning information, including the detailed port diagrams, provided in the
MiCollab Client Engineering Guidelines.
96
Installation and Configuration
• Which MiCollab Client licensed features does the customer want to purchase and activate in the AMC? Make sure all licenses are purchased before you begin the MiCollab Client installation.
Note: All the MiCollab Client s - desktop, web and mobile - use secure connection for signalling and need valid certificates on the MiCollab Client Service.
High level installation and configuration procedures
The high-level procedure for installing and configuring MiCollab Client is provided below. This procedure applies to installations and to upgrades from MiCollab Client 2.0 and Your Assistant 5.1.
Note: The installation and configuration information in this chapter is MiCollab Client-specific. It does not include complete installation and configuration information for MSL, MiCollab, and the
Mitel applications that can be integrated with MiCollab Client. For product-specific documentation, see the appropriate documentation on the Mitel eDocs Web site (http://edocs.mitel.com).
To install and configure MiCollab Client, complete the following high-level steps:
1. Configure the PBX for MiCollab Client using one of the following programming interfaces:
• System Administration Tool for the MiVoice Business PBX (see

Installation and Configuration
Configure the PBX
This section describes how to configure the MiVoice Business and MiVoice Office 250 PBXs for
MiCollab Client.
This section assumes that you are familiar with the programming interface for the PBX installed on site. MiCollab Client requires certain fields and options be programmed correctly for the PBX to provide integration with the communication platform. Programming interfaces include:
• MiVoice Business Administration Tool
• MiVoice Office 250 Database (DB) Programming
For additional PBX programming documentation, see the PBX programming interface online help and the supplemental PBX documentation on the Mitel eDocs Web site (http://edocs.mitel.com).
MiVoice Business PBX
All the required configuration to support MiCollab Client for the MiVoice Business PBX is completed using the MiVoice Business System Administration Tool. The information in this section provides guidelines for MiCollab Client -specific configuration only.
The following MiVoice Business System Administrator Tool forms include MiCollab Client-specific fields and options:
•
“User Configuration form” on page 100
•
“License and Option Selection form” on page 100
•
“Class of Service Options form” on page 100
•
“Personal Ring Group Assignment form” on page 101
Note the following for MiVoice Business PBXs:
• The primary MiVoice Business should be up and running when MiCollab Client Service starts.
If the primary MiVoice Business is not up and running at the time of MiCollab Client Service startup, the Mitai monitors for non-resilient devices are not set and the user cannot control these devices from their MiCollab Client. Select the Refresh line monitors on save option in Account details to restart the Mitai monitor and receive updated line configuration from MiVoice Business.
See the Adding and Editing Accounts help topics for details.
• For sites that intend to use ACD PBX features in MiCollab Client, MiCollab Client supports ACD traditional agents only.
• For sites that intend to use the PBX node synchronization method for creating accounts in
MiCollab Client, special programming may be required if multiple directory number (DN) records with the same name exist on the PBX. Typically, when MiCollab Client encounters multiple records with the same name during a synchronization with the MiVoice Business PBX, only the highest directory number (DN) is brought over to MiCollab Client. 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. See the User Configuration and Device Configuration forms online help topics for details.
99
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
• The MiVoice Business system must be running system software v4.2 or later for remote click to call OfficeLink functionality (see
• The MiVoice Business must be running v5.0 SP2 or later for SIP softphone functionality.
• The MBG must be used when using remote SIP softphones connected to MiVoice Business.
• When you make changes to the PBX configuration, you will need to complete a manual synchronization from the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface to import those changes to MiCollab Client (see
“License and PBX changes” on page 214 ).
Note: Only Mitel MiVoice Business-certified personnel can configure the MiVoice Business
PBX.
User Configuration form
The MiCollab Client Minet softphone must be programmed correctly in the MiVoice Business system.
In the User Configuration form (MiVoice Business v4.1 or later), in order to have resiliency the
MiCollab Client Minet softphone must be programmed on the MiVoice Business as 5020 IP set
type.
License and Option Selection form
In the License and Option Selection form, set the MiTAI Computer Integration option to Yes.

100
1. If set to Yes, users will not be able to hang up from their voice mailbox when using MiCollab Client.
Installation and Configuration
Personal Ring Group Assignment form
MiCollab Client users can use devices configured in the user's Personal Ring Group (PRG) for the
OfficeLink and Multi-Device User Group (MDUG) features. PRGs are an association of two or more devices for a single user under a common Directory Number (DN).
Notes:
• Multi-Device User Groups are supported for MiVoice Business 5.0 and later ONLY.
• For multiple devices support also see Synchronization Rules (under Synchronization Tab) on
Admin portal online help.
• Mitel recommends using Multi-Device User Group for Softphone deployments.
• Personal Ring Group (PRG) prime device must be an IP device and can not be a DNIC device.
Use the Personal Ring Group Assignment form to configure PRG devices for MiCollab Client users.
You will need to define a DN to be used as the prime member of the PRG using the Multiline IP Set
Configuration form.
Note: Publishing MDUG non-prime numbers is not supported in MiCollab. Use PRG to publish the non-prime numbers.
SIP Softphone settings
MiVoice Business specific settings: To ensure proper functionality, there are two critical changes
that MUST be made on MiVoice Business when configuring a MiCollab Client SIP Softphone:
a. First, you must select a Device Type of MiCollab Client Endpoint.
b. Second, you must add at least one additional line. This is accomplished by adding a key with a
Line Type of Multicall, a Button Dir. Number matching the number of the device, and Ring Type of Ring.
MiVoice Office 400 Softphone settings
A user's MiCollab mobile client can register with a MiVoice Office 400 communications platform if the user is configured with a terminal type “MiCollab Softphone”. However, in order for a user's PC client to register with a MiVoice Office 400 communications platform, the user must be configured with a terminal type “MiCollab Softphone” and a MiVoice Office 400 SIP terminal type.
MiVoice Office 250 PBX
All configuration changes for MiVoice Office 250 are completed using the Mitel MiVoice Office 250
DB Programming interface. The information in this section provides guidelines for MiCollab Client
-specific configuration only.
The following MiVoice Office 250 DB Programming folders include MiCollab Client-specific fields and options:
•
“Software license” on page 103
•
“System – devices and feature codes – Assistants” on page 103
•
“System – devices and feature codes – Phones” on page 104
•
“System – IP-related information – Call Configuration (Softphones Only)” on page 104
101
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
•
“System – Sockets” on page 104
•
Note the following for MiVoice Office 250 PBXs:
• The MiVoice Office 250 system must be running system software v5.0 or later and the system must be programmed correctly to support full remote click to call OfficeLink functionality (see
• The MBG must be used when using remote SIP softphones connected to MiVoice Office 250.
• When you make changes to the PBX configuration, you will need to complete a manual synchronization from the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface to import those changes to MiCollab Client (see
“License and PBX changes” on page 214 ).
• For sites that intend to use the PBX node synchronization method for creating accounts in
MiCollab Client, the MiCollab Client Service retrieves user and/or phone extension information configured in DB Programming to create accounts via the OAI stream for the PBX node synchronization type.
It is important that the information in the Users and/or Phones
1
folders in DB Programming is configured correctly to avoid the creation of unwanted accounts on the MiCollab Client Service if using PBX synchronization. PBX synchronization looks to the Users folder first and then the
Phones folder to create accounts during the initial synchronization.
• Before you run a PBX Node Synchronization from the Synchronization tab, it is recommended that you set the Default feature profile field to the Default Feature Profile. The Default Feature
Profile does not apply any features and licenses, so the system will not run out of licenses if there are more phones/accounts than available licenses. Instead, assign phones/accounts with the required licensed features from the MiCollab Client Service Features tab after performing the synchronization.
If the Synchronize Dynamic Extension only option in the Synchronization tab is enabled, only the extensions listed under Users will be synchronized. This option limits the number of accounts created.
• For sites synchronizing multiple MiVoice Office 250 PBX nodes, all nodes must be entered under
PBX Nodes. If using a CT Gateway, all MiVoice Office 250 nodes and the CT Gateway are entered under PBX Nodes. See the MiCollab Client Service Online Help for additional details.
Note:
The CT Gateway must be programmed to monitor all nodes programmed under PBX Nodes.
Adhere to the following guidelines when using a CT Gateway to synchronize multiple MiVoice
Office 250 nodes:
• When using a CT Gateway to communicate with multiple MiVoice Office 250 nodes, each node's session manager must have a DB programming account with the same password that matches the password set at the single PBX node representing the cluster on the
MiCollab Client Service.
• The CT Gateway must be running software version 4.4.01 or higher.
102
1. Prior to MiVoice Office 250 v4.0, this folder in DB Programming was named Endpoints.
Installation and Configuration
• All nodes configured on the CT Gateway must be communicating (up and working) so that the PBX synchronizer will synchronize all of the accounts. If one or more of the MiVoice
Office 250 nodes are not communicating with the CT Gateway, the node will not be synchronized as indicated by the message that is generated under the PBX Nodes tab.
• The PBX Node for CT Gateway must have a Voice Mail system pilot number programmed.
You must choose a Voice Mail application number from one of the MiVoice Office 250 nodes.
This will not impact phone/account voice mail set for each PBX.
• All nodes connected to the CT Gateway must be using OAI protocol version 10.0 or later
(MiVoice Office 250 v3.2). Node connections to the CT Gateway that are not running protocol version 10.0 or later must be removed from the CT Gateway, or the nodes must be upgraded to v3.2.
• It is recommended that all duplicate extensions between nodes be removed before installing the CT Gateway. If this is not done, one of the accounts with the duplicate extension information will be deleted during the synchronization.
See Mitel Knowledge Base article number 4376 for additional MiVoice Office 250 configuration information.
Note:
Only MiVoice Office 250-certified personnel can configure the MiVoice Office 250 PBX.
Software license
The Software License folder in DB Programming displays the licenses currently uploaded to the system. The features common to all licenses are displayed in this folder along with the value for each feature according to the current software license. This folder is read-only.
The following MiVoice Office 250 system software licenses must be enabled to provide full integration with MiCollab Client:
• Dynamic Extension Express: Dynamic Extension Express provides Ring Group options for
MiCollab Client users in the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client. Ring Groups provide call routing options for user’s Dynamic Statuses.
• System OAI 3rd Party Call Control: Provides call control capabilities from the PBX to MiCollab
Client so that users connected to the PBX can access system call features. System OAI 3rd
Party Call Control is required to support the Dynamic Extension Express PBX feature.
• System OAI Events: Allows MiCollab Client to monitor the devices on the PBX to provide advanced presence. System OAI Events are required to support the Dynamic Extension Express
PBX feature.
System – devices and feature codes – Assistants
For MiVoice Office 250 v5.0 and later systems, configure the OfficeLink Assistant to provide full
OfficeLink functionality for MiCollab Client users.
Adding an OfficeLink Assistant allows MiCollab Client users to place OfficeLink calls from any of their ring group devices (including Mobile). If the OfficeLink Assistant is not present (or if using software older than MiVoice Office 250 v5.0), then MiCollab Client users can only place OfficeLink calls from their desk phone and MiCollab Client softphone.
103
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
See
page 74 for more information about the OfficeLink feature.
System – devices and feature codes – Phones
The MiCollab Client Service retrieves information programmed in the Users and/or Phones folders to create MiCollab Client accounts.
If the Phones information is configured for the MiVoice Office 250, but the Users information is not, the MiCollab Client PBX node synchronizer retrieves the following information from the Phones folder in DB Programming to create MiCollab Client accounts:
• System – Devices and Feature Codes – Phones – Extension: The value configured in the
Extension field becomes the desk phone extension for the MiCollab Client account after synchronization.
• System – Devices and Feature Codes – Phones – Description: The value configured in the
Description field becomes the account name for the MiCollab Client account after synchronization. Note the following for the Description field:
• Configure the user’s name in Last name, First Name format for the Description field. This is the format used by the PBX node synchronizer for the account name in MiCollab Client.
• The Tilde character (~) before the Description and a blank Description field excludes the account from the synchronization.
Note:
If you create both a desk phone and a MiCollab Client Softphone in DB Programming for a single user, two separate accounts are created in MiCollab Client for the extensions during the PBX node synchronization.
System – IP-related information – Call Configuration
(Softphones Only)
Mitel recommends that you configure audio settings specific to the MiCollab Client Softphone to ensure good audio quality.
Under System – IP-Related Information – Call Configuration, configure the Audio Frames/IP Packet with a value of 2.
System – Sockets
To support MiCollab Client, select System – Sockets, and set the System OAI Level 2 option to Yes.
Users
The MiCollab Client Service retrieves information programmed in the Users and/or Phones folders
to create MiCollab Client accounts. See “About Account Synchronization” on page 64 .
If the Users information is configured for the MiVoice Office 250, but the Phones information is not, the MiCollab Client PBX node synchronizer retrieves the following information from the Users folder in DB Programming to create MiCollab Client accounts:
• Users: Configure the First Name and Last Name fields. These fields provide the value for the account name on the MiCollab Client Service.
104
Installation and Configuration
Note the following:
• To exclude a MiCollab Client account from being created during synchronization, insert the
Tilde character (~) before the First Name or Last Name.
Note:
If there is a phone programmed with the same extension under the Phones folder and the
Description does not include a tilde, the phone will be included in the synchronization.
• If the First Name and Last Name fields are blank in DB Programming, MiCollab Client will create an account with no name.
Note:
If there is a phone programmed with the same extension under the Phones folder and the
Phones Extension field matches the User Main Extension field, then the name from the Phones
Description field is used for the synchronization.
• If both Phones and Users is programmed in DB Programming, if the Phones Extension fields and Users Main Extension field match, then only one account is created.
• Users – <user>: Configure the following for each user:
• The value configured for the Main Extension field becomes the desk phone or softphone extension for the MiCollab Client account after synchronization. MiCollab Client softphones are allowed as the Main Extension.
• The Yes value configured for the Enable Dynamic Extension Express field instructs the
PBX node synchronizer to use the programmed Associated Destinations fields when configuring Ring Group devices. In addition, this value instructs AD/LDAP synchronizers to synchronize Dynamic Express Extension information from the PBX.
• Associated Destinations: Configure the values for the Associated Destinations sub folder.
MiCollab Client users can use devices configured as the user's Associated Destinations for the
OfficeLink feature (see
“OfficeLink functionality” on page 74 ). These values populate the My
Ring Group devices in the MiCollab Client account after synchronization:
• Desk, Desk 2
• Voice Mail
• Home, Home 2
• Home IP, Home IP 2
• Mobile, Mobile 2
• Softphone, Softphone 2
Note:
Associated Destinations must be set to Active to be included in the PBX node synchronization.
105
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Configure integrated applications
To install and configure the Mitel applications you want to integrate with your MiCollab Client installation, see the documentation that was provided with the application. Documentation is also available on the Mitel eDocs Web site (http://edocs.mitel.com).
Mitel integrated applications/products include:
• MiCollab Unified Messaging (UM) v4.0 or later
• MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing (formerly known as Audio and Web Conferencing)
4.0 or later
• MiVoice Border Gateway v7.1 or later
• MiContact Center v7.1 or later
This section describes basic MiCollab Client configuration requirements for Mitel integrated applications. You may also need to configure integrated third-party application servers and components for use with MiCollab Client. For configuration guidelines for third-party products, see the product documentation.
MiCollab UM configuration
MiCollab Client includes a Visual Voice Mail view in the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client that provides access to MiCollab UM voice mail and FAX messages. Other Mitel and third-party voice mail systems are not supported by MiCollab Client.
To provide visual voice mail features, the MiCollab UM server must be configured properly as described in the following sections:
•
Visual Voice Mail for Peered MiCollab Client Services , below
•
MiCollab configuration options , below
•
•
“Port utilization” on page 107
Visual Voice Mail for Peered
MiCollab Client
Services
When MiCollab Client Services are peered, the MiCollab UM voice mail servers must be networked in the peered configuration for the voice mail forwarding and transfer to voice mail features to function.
MiCollab Client does not support multiple MiCollab UM voice mail systems for peered MiCollab
Client Services.
If MiCollab Client Services are peered and each server is configured with a different voice mail system, the following MiCollab Client voice mail features will not function between the servers:
• A MiCollab Windows Desktop Client user on MiCollab Client Service A cannot forward a voice mail message to a peered contact on MiCollab Client Service B.
• A MiCollab Windows Desktop Client console user on MiCollab Client Service A cannot use the
Transfer to Voice Mail feature to transfer a call to a voice mailbox on MiCollab Client Service B.
106
Installation and Configuration
MiCollab configuration options
The Dialer (Pager) and a Pager Line Group must be configured for MiCollab under System
Configuration to enable the “Request playback call” function in the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client
Visual Voice Mail view. It is not necessary to enable the dialer or pager on each mailbox under
Message Waiting.
Note:
If your MiCollab UM application is running on a MiCollab server, Mitel recommends upgrading to
MiCollab software version R2.0.1.106 or later, which includes several MiCollab UM Dialer updates.
FCOS options
The following MiCollab UM feature (FCOS) options are required for MiCollab Windows 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 MiCollab Windows 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 MiCollab Windows
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, MiCollab Client consumes outgoing MiCollab 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 MiCollab UM ports for MiCollab Client. If users regularly receive a busy signal when directing the voice mail system to call their desk phone and
107
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
play voice mail messages, MiCollab UM may not have sufficient outgoing ports configured. See the
MiCollab UM Port Utilization Report to capture port utilization details.
Note:
Like the MiCollab Client Service, the MiCollab UM server needs to have a publicly-resolvable hostname. This hostname is used by the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client and the Web Client when users listen to voice mail messages using the media player installed on their computer. If users cannot access the MiCollab UM server from their computers, voice mail message playback is limited to the Request playback call option from the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client.
Other Voice Mail systems
The MiVoice Business and MiVoice Office 250 PBXs support embedded legacy and third-party voice mail systems. If the PBX is connected to a voice mail system other than MiCollab UM, the Visual
Voice Mail feature will not function. Because the PBX provides call routing to voice mail, only the
Call Voice Mail and Send to Voice Mail features will function in MiCollab Client when the PBX is connected to non-MiCollab voice mail systems.
When the PBX is connected to a non-MiCollab UM voice mail system, note the following configuration information:
• The PBX node must be configured on the PBX Node tab and it must be synchronized with
MiCollab Client.
• Some legacy voice mail systems have a different pilot number for the message retrieval application versus the voice mail application. To ensure that MiCollab Client users reach the Message
Retrieval application instead of the Voice Mail application when they use the Call Voice Mail function, the MiCollab Client Administrator can configure the Voice Mail Number field on the
PBX Details page with the Message Retrieval application extension.
• If MiCollab Client Desktop Clients are open when the administrator makes changes to the PBX configuration in the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface, they must be closed and reopened for configuration changes to take effect.
After the voice mail systems are configured on the MiCollab Client Service, the Call Voice Mail and
Send to Voice Mail features are functional.
MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing configuration
MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing provides collaboration features and video calls for
MiCollab Windows Desktop Client users.
To provide access to audio conferencing, Web conferencing, collaboration features and video calls, verify the following for MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing:
• The MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing server has sufficient ports and licenses configured for all users – including MiCollab Client users.
• If you know the URL for the MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing server, you can synchronize the MiCollab Client Service with the MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing
Server during system provisioning (see
“Provision MiCollab Client” on page 124 ).
108
Installation and Configuration
MiVoice Border Gateway and Remote Proxy Services configuration
Note:
Only MiVoice Border Gateway/Remote Proxy-certified personnel can configure the MiVoice Border
Gateway.
If the customer site is using an MiVoice Business PBX and has remote users, you must configure the MiVoice Border Gateway and Remote Proxy Services for use with MiCollab Client as described in this section. Additional configuration for the MiVoice Border Gateway is required after the MiCollab
Windows Desktop Clients are installed.
MiVoice Border Gateway provides a secure communications path from remote MiCollab Windows
Desktop Client, Mobile Clients as well as softphones and IP desk phones running on the MiVoice
Business PBX to the MiCollab Client Service. Remote Proxy Services provide a secure communications path for remote MiCollab Web Client users.
Notes:
• If the customer is using MiVoice Border Gateway in a perimeter network (DMZ), the firewall that the MiVoice Border Gateway is connected to may have Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) application layer gateway (ALG) functionality turned ON, which may interfere with SIP messaging on MiCollab Client. Mitel recommends that you disable the firewall's SIP ALG for this type of configuration.
• Starting in MiCollab Client v5.1, when Teleworker mode is enabled in the MiCollab Windows
Desktop Clients and mobile clients, the SIP softphone and Minet softphone route the signaling and media traffic through the MiVoice Border Gateway even when the clients are used in the corporate LAN.

Install and configure MiCollab Client softphone for VMware Horizon View
This section describes how to install and configure MiCollab Client for VMware Horizon View. For more information, see the VMWare Horizon View Solutions Guide.
Requirements
MiCollab Client for VMware Horizon View requires the following:
• The MiCollab Client Plugin - the installer for this is called UnifiedCommunicatorAdvancedVMwareViewplugin.msi and can be found on Mitel Online in the 6.0 Software Downloads folder in the MiCollab Client folder.
• View 5.0, View 5.1, View 5.2 and vSphere 5.0
Note:
Versions prior to 5.0 are NOT supported.
118
Installation and Configuration
• Windows 7 virtual desktop
Note:
MiCollab Client for VMware Horizon View is NOT supported on the following products:
• Windows Vista or XP, Apple, Android or Linux.
It is assumed that the required VMware and Windows components are set up. These can be obtained through VMware and www.Microsoft.com respectively.
Installation
Use the following procedure to install MiCollab Client with VMware Horizon View:
1. Install and configure VMware Horizon View and the virtual desktops following the instructions provided by VMware.
2. It is strongly recommended that the protocol is set to PCoIP and that other protocols are
disallowed. Failure to do so will result in inconsistent or non-existence audio for users. Perform the following steps:
a. In VMware View administration, go to Inventory>Pools.
b. In Settings, go to the Pool Settings tab.
c. Under Remote Display Protocol, choose PCoIP for Default Display Protocol. Choose No for
Allow Users to Change Protocol. Click OK to save your changes.
3. Install and configure the MiCollab Client 6.0 server.
4. Install MiCollab Client on each virtual desktop (in View backend).
a. Install the MiCollab Client (which is downloaded from the MiCollab Client Service) using the instructions found in the Welcome e-mail.
NOTE: Virtual clients look exactly like regular desktops, but they exist in the View backend.
5. Install the VMware View Client on each physical desktop (the physical Thin Client or Thick
Client/repurposed PC).
a. Point your browser to the address of the View Connection Server.
b. Ensure that you select the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit) for your physical desktop.
NOTE: Local mode is not required.
c. Double click the installer.exe file after it downloads and follow the instructions provided.
Thin Client devices normally come with the View client already installed. If this is not the case for your Thin Client, follow the vendor-specific instructions provided with your Thin Client.
6. Install the MiCollab Client Plugin on each physical desktop. The Plugin is the media driver software that runs on the physical device. This Plugin ensures that voice streams locally through the physical device.
a. For the PC/Thick Client - double-click the .msi file. A brief progress dialog appears. You do not have to do anything but monitor the progress. Click Done when the installation has completed.
b. For the Thin Client, perform the following steps:
119
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
- Log in as Administrator (see the Thin Client documentation to determine how to log in as Administrator. The default password is vendor-specific.
- Unlock the device. See your vendor documentation to determine the location of the lock application. The device will reboot when you unlock it.
- Log in as Administrator again.
- Download and install the correct version of the .msi file.
- Relock the device by performing a reverse of the procedure in substep 2). The device
will reboot when you lock it.
Notes:
• Automated methods for mass deployment of the Plugin to Thin Client is possible using vendor-specific tools (for example, Wyse Device Manager or HP Device Manager).
Procedures for using these tools to perform mass deployment are being developed.
• Ensure the Thin Client is set to operate in LAN mode (not Wireless mode).
Configure user options MiCollab Client for VMware Horizon View
Once the component parts (MiCollab Client Service, MiCollab Client, VMware Horizon View, and the MiCollab Client Plugin) have been installed, the following user configuration steps must be completed for MiCollab Client VMware Horizon View to function properly.
Teleworker Configuration
In MiCollab Client for VMware Horizon View, the Teleworker options enable you to properly configure the MiCollab Client software to interact with the VMware Horizon View virtual desktops.
This section outlines how to configure the Teleworker options specifically for use with MiCollab Client for VMware Horizon View. These steps do NOT configure normal Teleworker mode. For information on configuring Teleworker mode in the traditional setup, see MiCollab Windows Desktop Client online help, Teleworker topic.
When MiCollab Client starts it will always try to connect directly to the MiCollab Client Service. If
MiCollab Client is unable to connect directly to the server, it will start in Teleworker mode if you have a valid Teleworker certificate or in VMware Horizon View mode if you have the .msi file installed. If
MiCollab Client is unable to determine if you have a valid certificate OR if it does not detect a valid
VMware Horizon View installation, it will start in offline mode.
To configure the Teleworker options in MiCollab Client for VMware Horizon View, go to the
Configuration Screen in the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client and set the following options:
Directory Number: Type your remote Softphone or IP desk phone extension in the box. This must be a number ranging from 1 to 99999999.
Teleworker Gateway IP: Type the IP address of the MiVoice Border Gateway. The IP address should be in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
If there are any leading zeros in the IP address, do not enter those (for example, if the IP address is 074.xxx.xxx.yyy, enter 74.xxx.xxx.yyy.
120
Installation and Configuration
For MiCollab Client VMware Horizon View purposes only, you do not need to enable Teleworker mode, nor configure any of the other Teleworker options. You also do not need to have a valid
Teleworker certificate. All these options are greyed out.
Device Configuration
After you have configured MiCollab Client for VMware Horizon View, you must configure the devices
(headsets) that work when your client is operating in VMware Horizon View mode. Once the MiCollab
Client Plugin has been installed, you must configure the MiCollab Client and your virtual desktop to work properly with the endpoint device (Thin or Thick Client).
Use the Softphone Settings in the Configuration menu on the MiCollab Client to configure these devices.
Ensure that you have chosen either Bluetooth or USB audio device as your default audio device for both Playback and Recording. ONLY these options work correctly with MiCollab Client for VMware
Horizon View:
1. On the physical device, go to Start>Control Panel>Sound.
2. Under both the Playback and Recording tabs, ensure that the default device is the Bluetooth or
USB audio device. Click on the proper device. Click on Set Default and choose Default. Under
Properties, ensure Use this device is chosen. Confirm all choices.
Note:
Do not use USB redirection for your audio devices (on the View Client, the option is under
Connect USB Device at the top of the screen). Using USB redirection causes audio to flow through the virtual desktop, and results in poor or nonexistent audio.
Headsets
MiCollab Client VMware Horizon View supports several headsets for audio.
Softphone settings
Configuring the softphone settings for MiCollab Client for VMware Horizon View on the MiCollab
Windows Desktop Client is very similar to configuring devices for the thick client version. However, there are now additional options specifically for MiCollab Client VMware Horizon View.
In the MiCollab Client Configuration menu, Softphone Settings, you can choose either Local (to your machine) or View (for MiCollab Client VMware Horizon View) options for both the Microphone and the Speaker settings. If you choose local, but no devices are available on your machine, MiCollab
Client switches automatically to the VMware Horizon View options.
Expected behavior
The MiCollab Windows Desktop Client operates in one of two modes, namely:
• Local softphone (meaning on the same machine at the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client itself)
• View softphone (meaning as a plug-in to VMware Horizon View).
121
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
In order to switch between softphones, MiCollab Client must deregister the current softphone to bring the new active softphone online. This switchover causes a delay - no more than five to ten seconds.
The UI does not directly indicate which mode of softphone is active.
122

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Install the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client
The MiCollab Client installer ships as a Windows Installer package. You can use a file server on your network as a software distribution point for the MiCollab Client. When you complete the system configuration, send the Welcome E-mail to users, which includes a link to the software location on the server.
Software distribution point
A Software Distribution Point uses Active Directory Group Policy objects to deploy MiCollab Client using Active Directory Group Policy objects. This enables MiCollab Client to be run from a single location and appear to be installed on every user's desktop.
Installing MiCollab Client using a distribution point is done with an administrative install of the installer package to a network share. The share point must be accessible to all users who will install MiCollab
Client. The command for the administrative installation is:
%>msiexec /a UnifiedCommunicatorAdvanced.msi
The administrative installation wizard prompts you to enter a location for the administrative image.
Users can be instructed to install MiCollab Client from this folder via the network share. The users can run the installation wizard by clicking the file and entering the MiCollab Client Service FQDN when prompted.
Alternatively, a transform file (see
“Creating a transform” on page 132
), or the Explorer shortcut that includes the IP property in the command parameters, could be provided:
%>msiexec /i UnifiedCommunicatorAdvanced.msi UC_SERVER_HOSTNAME=”192.168.1.66”
In this example, UC_SERVER_HOSTNAME property is set to the IP address of the MiCollab Client
Service.
Suppressing the installation wizard dialogs can further customize the installation by using the /qn flag. More customization options can be found in the Windows Installer SDK documentation at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988.aspx
.
User installation permissions
Installing MiCollab Client requires administrator permissions on the user’s computer. In Windows
Vista/7, the user is prompted to provide User Account Control credentials (standard user) or confirmation (administrator) to install the client. Running the client does not require administrative privileges.
All data files that are modified (logs, config, contact database, recorded calls, etc.) when settings are updated (call forwarding profile, startup mode, etc.) are located in one of the following folders or subfolders:
• Vista/Windows 7:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mitel\UC
Client firewalls
A client computer that uses a firewall, such as Windows Firewall or a third-party firewall, must specify
MiCollab Client.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 MiCollab Client 6.0 client installer adds these exceptions automatically.

The MiCollab Client IP property should be set using an installer transform (see
“Creating a transform” on page 132 ).
For more information see the Step-by-Step Guide to Software Installation and Maintenance
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver).
Logon Script
The Windows Script Host can also be used to create a logon script for deploying MiCollab Client.
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 MiCollab
Client might be
Set oShell = CreateObject(“Wscript.Shell”) oShell.Run msiexec /i /q UnifiedCommunicatorAdvanced.msi
See 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, see the syntax shown for Software Distribution Point to create the installer command that
SMS will run to install MiCollab Client on the client computer. See Systems Management Server
Home (http://www.microsoft.com/smserver/) for more information on SMS.
Group policy
You can create a Group Policy object to deploy MiCollab 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://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver).
Citrix deployments
The MiCollab Client can be deployed using the Citrix delivery system. MiCollab Client supports both
Desktop mode and Web mode. See “MiCollab Windows Desktop Client Requirements” on page 88
for supported versions.
The following restrictions apply when the client is running on a Citrix server:
SIP Softphone on Citrix environment:
• Citrix supports the MiCollab Desktop Client SIP softphone on Citrix XenApp 7.6 SP3 and above.
• Media is passed through the Citrix server, resulting in bandwidth limitations in terms of the number of concurrent audio connections (currently 25) and is not recommended for video.
130
Installation and Configuration
• The SIP softphone uses the "audio features" of Citrix. Therefore, it is recommended that you use Citrix specified Audio policy settings. For optimum bandwidth consumption, set Audio quality to "Medium".
• Refer to the follow information on the Citrix website for details:
"Enable and Manage Client Audio Settings for the Citrix Receiver using a Group Policy" in
Citrix documentation.
"Audio Features" under XenApp and XenApp 7.6 documentation.
• Only Audio calls are supported (not Video calls).
• Softphone audio is supported through the server and is not peer-to-peer. Peer-to-peer is not supported.
• On a Citrix receiver client, the user should permit the use of local microphone and speaker when prompted by the Citrix client. If the local microphone and speaker are disabled, the softphone may not work properly.
• Change the working directory field to the installation path of the published MiCollab legacy
Desktop Client. To change the working directory field in Citrix XenApp, navigate to MiCollab
Client Properties > Location.
Note:
Changing the working directory is tested on Citrix XenApp 7.11 and above.
Access to Citrix-based resources only
MiCollab Client cannot access resources that reside on the client workstation. This includes the local file system, PIMs, and instant messaging clients. To be accessible to MiCollab Client, these resources must reside on the Citrix server:
• PIM integration: MiCollab Client integrates normally with PIMs that are running on the Citrix server.
• Exchange Server integration: MiCollab Client integrates normally with the Microsoft Exchange server.
• Knowledge Management: The Knowledge Management feature works the same on Citrix, provided the indexed Outlook folders and file paths are on the Citrix server.
• Instant Messaging: MiCollab Client 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 MiCollab Client, see the Citrix product documentation.
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 MiCollab Client installer package requires that the MiCollab Client Service 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.
131
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Alternatively, a transform can be created that will set this property. The transform can be specified in the command string used to install MiCollab Client 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 MiCollab Client. The following script will create a transform called transform.mst.
Note:
The following script is an example based on documentation provided by Microsoft. It is not a Mitel supported script and is provided for information only.
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 & “')”
Set view = db.OpenView(sql)
132
Installation and Configuration
view.Execute
db.Commit
db.GenerateTransform basedb, “transform.mst” db.CreateTransformSummaryInfo basedb, “transform.mst”,_
msiTransformErrorNone, msiTransformValidationLanguage
Set view = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
Set wi = Nothing
Set sh = Nothing fs.DeleteFile “tmp.msi”
Set fs = Nothing
The output is transform.mst and this transform file can be used to modify a MiCollab Client installation.

(as .dll files)
• Mitel MiCollab Client headless client
137
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
• MiVoice for Skype for Business service
• Configuration settings (like setting to indicate that MiCollab Client shall run without a UI)
Installation wizard
• All the components of MiVoice for Skype for Business will be installed and user will not be able to select/deselect Plug-in components for installation.
• Installer will prompt user to enter configuration options like MiCollab Client Service FQDN etc.
• Installer will prompt user to select default language.
• There will be no desktop/start menu icon specific for MiVoice for Skype for Business client installed on the computer as this application will be launched via Skype for Business.
• User can re-run the installation wizard. This will allow user to change configuration options like
MiCollab Client Service FQDN or repair the damaged installation.
Notes:
• In the event that another version of MiCollab Client (or MiVoice for Skype for Business) is already installed on the user’s computer, the plugin installer will automatically uninstall the
MiCollab Client and install the plugin.
• Ideally MiVoice for Skype for Business installation shall be done after the installation of Skype for Business client only. Installing the Skype for Business client after plug-in installation may override settings/configuration files of plugin and is not recommended. User should re-install the MiVoice for Skype for Business if problem are encountered in this scenario.
• The user must have installation permissions on the computer or provide the administrator credentials when prompted.
138
Installation and Configuration
Deploy MiCollab for Mobile Client
MiCollab Client 7.0 and higher versions support a new blade, which allows for the simplified deployment of MiCollab for Mobile. This solution is supported in integrated and co-located MiCollab
Client deployments.
End users are no longer required to enter configuration settings such as server and SIP credentials.
Administrators configure these settings and MiCollab for Mobile clients are deployed Over the Air
(OTA). The administrator portal enables administrators to:
• deploy large groups
• leverage profiles
• download multiple files to the clients
• update clients
A customizable deployment e-mail with links for downloading the MiCollab applications from the app stores is sent to the end user.
The end user must perform the following steps to configure the client:
1. Click on the download link provided in the deployment email (pointing to the respective app store) and install the application.
2. After installing the application, configure it by clicking on the configuration link or scanning the
QR-code provided in the deployment email.
The administrator can translate or change the deployment email to meet the requirements of the specific installation.
In any case (with or without MBG installed), ensure that the MiCollab Server can send outgoing traffic to the Internet; otherwise, deployments cannot be made. For more information, see the
MiCollab Client Deployment help file.
If the MiCollab Client is used on a Windows Phone device (regardless if the softphone is used or not), MiVoice Border Gateway (MBG) must be implemented in the installation as all connections to or from the Windows Phone require MBG support. The Teleworker feature will be enabled automatically on Windows Phone clients (the user cannot change the setting); all traffic to Windows
Phone clients will pass through the MBG.
Conditions and Limitations
The following conditions and limitations apply:
• Windows Phone: Does not resolve the MiCollab contacts for the incoming ringing screen because a Windows Mobile specific version of the Ringing Screen is used which has no access to the lookup functions. Therefore, the short name is displayed (J. Doe) instead of Jon Doe. After answering the call, Jon Doe + its number gets displayed.
139
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
• iPhone Client: If the client is working in background, the short name (j. Doe) or the public number is shown in the Push Notification. The full resolved name with the number gets visible by clicking on the notification.
Note:
The iOS Push Notification feature is supported on MiCollab 8.0 and later systems.
Note:
To support the iOS Push Notification, the MiCollab server requires access to the Apple server api.push.apple.com:443.
• iPhone Client: If the user taps on a notification for chat, the MiCollab for Mobile iOS Client displays the view, which lists all chat conversations but not the individual chat for which the notification was received.
• Pressing Callback on a NuPoint Visual voicemail message will always callback the first number without presenting a list of numbers (Mobile/Desk, and so forth). This is not related to the lookup function but the current implementation.
Remote User Configuration
After the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client is installed on a computer that resides outside of the local network, you must configure remote user access to MiCollab Client. Configuration procedures differ for each PBX. See the configuration information that applies to the site’s PBX:
•
“MiVoice Office 250 PBX configuration for remote users” below
•
“MiVoice Office 250 PBX configuration for remote users” on page 144
TCP/TLS to UDP Connector
The TCP/TLS to UDP connector is a feature introduced in MiVoice Border Gateway 7.1 SP2 as part of MiCollab 4.0 SP2. This feature is also available in MiVoice Border Gateway 8.0 as part of MiCollab
5.0. This connector enables MiCollab Client desktop and mobile clients to configure the SIP softphone to use TCP or TLS protocol when connected to MiVoice Border Gateway. MiVoice Border
Gateway will convert the TCP or TLS protocol to UDP when communicating to the MiVoice Business or the MiVoice Office 250 PBX. Using the TCP/TLS protocol for SIP softphone eliminates many of the Network Address Translation issues encountered when using UDP for SIP signalling.
This connector is supported in the MiVoice Border Gateway in server gateway mode and in DMZ setup (
“MiVoice Border Gateway and Remote Proxy Services configuration” on page 109 ). This
connector is automatically enabled or disabled when MiCollab Client support on MiVoice Border
Gateway is enabled or disabled.
Note:
This connector is supported only for MiCollab Client SIP softphones and there is no support for any 3rd party SIP phones. The MiCollab Client s must enable teleworker mode for the SIP softphone to use this connector on the MiVoice Border Gateway when the signalling protocol is set to TCP or TLS.
MiVoice Business supports TCP and TLS for SIP in MiVoice Business 6.0 and later versions. The default SIP protocol used by different MiCollab Client s are shown below:
140
Installation and Configuration
a. MiCollab Windows Desktop Client version 6.0: defaults to TCP when connecting to MiVoice
Business directly. Defaults to UDP in teleworker mode. Defaults to UDP when connecting to 5k
PBX.
b. iOS (iPhone) and Android MiCollab Client s version 5.1: defaults to UDP in all modes.
For MiVoice Office 250 PBX this connector on MiVoice Border Gateway has to be used when TCP or TLS protocol is enabled in the SIP softphone configuration in the MiCollab Client s. MiVoice Office
250 PBX does not support SIP over TCP or TLS.
Note:
Mitel recommends that users always set the iOS (iPhone) clients in teleworker mode and set the protocol to TCP or TLS when using MiVoice Border Gateway 7.1 SP2 or later with TCP to UDP connector enabled.
Otherwise, if the SIP protocol is set to UDP, the iOS operating system will not wake up the MiCollab
Client application during an incoming call (while MiCollab Client application is in the background).
Note: In case of an incoming call to the MiCollab softphone while the application is not in the foreground, the device will receive a Push Notification. After the user taps on the notification, the client is brought to the foreground. The client connects to the MiVoice Border Gateway, which has delayed the SIP INVITE until the client is registered.
Delaying the SIP INVITE is not supported in a direct connection with MiVoice Business or other
PBX platforms.
MiVoice Business PBX Configuration for remote users
This section describes the required configuration for remote users connected to an MiVoice Business
PBX. Remote User Configuration includes:
•

MiCollab Windows Desktop Client softphone and teleworker settings
Before users can use MiCollab Client softphone features from MiCollab Windows Desktop Client, they must configure as per options under: Main menu – Configuration – Softphone Settings.
Additionally, in Teleworker mode, the remote MiCollab Client uses a secure SSL connection with the MiVoice Border Gateway for all communication between the client and the MiCollab Client
Service.

MiVoice Office 250 PBX configuration for remote users
Remote MiCollab Client users connected to a MiVoice Office 250 PBX access the MiCollab Client
Service through the site’s firewall ports. Configure the firewall ports to provide access to the MiCollab
Client Service and the integrated Mitel applications as documented in the Mitel MiCollab Client
Engineering Guidelines.
Softphone (SIP-based) specific considerations
To configure softphone (SIP-based):
1. Licensing requirements (for MiCollab Desktop, MiCollab for Mobile clients):
For the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client, the existing “Softphone” license will cover both the
Minet softphone and the new SIP-based softphone.
The mobile clients must have the “Mobile SIP Softphone” license in order to configure and use the SIP softphone.
Notes:
• On the MiCollab Client Service: you must first select MiCollab for Mobile for Smart
Devices license then select Mobile SIP Softphone.
• The MiCollab Mobile for Smart Devices was previously known as the Locator.
2. Quality of Service (QoS):
The softphone supports L3 quality of service (QoS) values as per the Table below. These values are used for audio, SIP signaling, and video streaming.
These values are not accessible on the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client but do appear on the
Android and iOS clients under Softphone Advanced Settings at their default values.

L3 Values
46 (EF)
144
Installation and Configuration
Service Class
Signaling
Multimedia Streaming (Video)
L3 Values

3. Admin Considerations:
Before a MiCollab Client can use a SIP Softphone, it must be configured on the PBX, MiVoice
Border Gateway, MiCollab Client sever, and MiCollab Client. For all MiCollab Client s, the softphone will be available for use once MiCollab Client is launched and running.
Also see
“High level installation and configuration procedures” on page 97
4. PBX Considerations:
Note:
MiVoice Business 5.0 SP2 or newer release is required.
MiVoice Office 250 running 5.1 or later release is required.
The account code dialing is not supported for SIP softphone on MiVoice Business or MiVoice
Office 250 PBX.
MiVoice Office 250 specific: On the MiVoice Office 250 provisioning system, the admin can create a SIP device and assign it to the user. This is necessary to support the softphone on MiCollab
Windows Desktop Client and mobile devices.
Note:
By default, a MiCollab Client SIP softphone on a MiVoice Office 250 will only allow one incoming call at a time. To handle multiple incoming calls on the MiVoice Office 250, go to the SIP phone group, On-line monitor, Maximum number of calls, then set to two.
MiVoice Business specific: To ensure proper functionality, there are two critical changes that
MUST be made on MiVoice Business when configuring a MiCollab Client SIP Softphone:
a. First, you must select a Device Type of MiCollab Client Endpoint.
b. Second, you must add at least one additional line. This is accomplished by adding a key with a
Line Type of Multicall, a Button Dir. Number matching the number of the device, and Ring Type of Ring.
5. MiVoice Border Gateway and Teleworker Considerations:
Softphone users outside of the PBX/MiCollab Client network will require a connection through an MiVoice Border Gateway for both data and audio/video real-time streaming.
See
“MiVoice Border Gateway and Teleworker Considerations:” on page 147 ,
“MiVoice Border Gateway and Remote Proxy Services configuration” on page 109
“Remote User Configuration” on page 140 .
6. MiCollab Client Service Considerations:
145
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Under Accounts tab: select Phone Numbers, add SIP Softphone type, Number and Video
Capable (if supported).
Note:
Step 5 is only required if the account was not synchronized, i.e. in the event the account(s) was created manually in MiCollab Client Service for 6.0.
7. MiCollab Client Considerations:
Follow the procedures for the installation, configuration and testing of the MiCollab Client
Softphone for each client as listed below. For additional assistance on features, go to each client online Help or http://edocs.mitel.com/default.htm
MiCollab Windows Desktop Client - see
“Softphone Configuration - MiCollab Windows Desktop
Notes:
• On the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client, in order to use SIP-based video calls, enable the availability for video calls under Dynamic status (Manage Statuses).
• A new checkbox has been added in the Teleworker settings screen on each client that indicates
“Prefer Teleworker Connection”. This flag will alert the client to always attempt to connect the softphone through the TW.
• Mitel recommends setting up the softphone as a part of a ring group to avoid missing incoming calls due to the following condition:
• Due to Apple iOS application management, the MiCollab for Mobile application for iPhone may stop running while in the background (consistent with iOS behavior on other iOS Apps). The result is that a MiCollab Client application user may be unaware that the MiCollab Client application has stopped receiving incoming softphone calls and chat messages.
• Participation in a Ring Group will accommodate missed calls but not missed chat messages.
• Also see MiVoice Business
“Personal Ring Group Assignment form” on page 101 and
MiVoice Office 250
Migration from Minet Softphone on MiCollab Windows Desktop Client
A few scenarios to consider:
a. Minet Softphone: The MiCollab Windows Desktop Client will automatically use the Minet softphone when the user has the “Softphone” license, a Minet softphone DN, and no SIP DN.
b. SIP Softphone: The MiCollab Windows Desktop Client will use the SIP softphone when the user has the “Softphone” license, a SIP DN, and no Minet softphone DN. Note that in this case, the user must configure and enable the SIP softphone in the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client
(i.e., on first startup, the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client will not automatically start the SIP softphone).
Minet or SIP Softphone (depending on user configuration): When the user has the “Softphone” license, a Minet softphone DN, and a SIP DN, the softphone used by the MiCollab Windows Desktop
Client depends on whether or not the user has configured the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client to use the SIP softphone. On first startup, the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client will use the Minet softphone. If the user wants to use the SIP softphone, the user must configured and enable the SIP softphone (note that a restart of the client may be necessary). After the SIP softphone has been
146
Installation and Configuration
configured and enabled, the SIP softphone will automatically be used by the MiCollab Windows
Desktop Client on subsequent restarts. If the user wants to switch back to the Minet softphone, he must disable the SIP softphone and restart the client.
MiVoice Border Gateway and Teleworker Considerations:
Softphone users outside of the PBX/MiCollab Client network will require a connection through an
MiVoice Border Gateway for both data and audio/video real-time streaming. It is expected that the normal setup for such a configuration involves configuring the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of both the PBX and the MiCollab Client Service to resolve to the IP address of the MiVoice Border
Gateway when outside the corporate network. However, since an FQDN may not be used on the
PBX or MiVoice Border Gateway in all cases, the clients need to support both an internal and external address/hostname for connection.
The clients will always attempt to connect to the local address first and then subsequently try the remote address unless the client is configured to only use the remote address.
The MiVoice Border Gateway IP/hostname and username/password is configurable at the client level.
The SIP softphone should be configured as a normal SIP teleworker device on the MiVoice Border
Gateway.
Note:
MiCollab Client profile can have different credentials for Teleworker mode and non-Teleworker mode. It is strongly recommended that the credentials be more secure when connecting to an
MiVoice Border Gateway.

Notes:
1. SIP softphone definition: The MiCollab Client for Mobile devices (such as iPhone and
Android) use a SIP-based softphone. SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol, which is an industry-wide standard offering a feature-rich experience and new functionality to your
Mobile device. The MiCollab Windows Desktop Client can be configured with a Mitel softphone or a SIP-based softphone. In this exercise, a SIP-based softphone will be used.
2. If the Microsoft.NET Framework is not detected on the computer, you are prompted to download and install it. You must restart the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client installation following the installation of the .NET Framework.
3. Teleworker definition: remote or off-premise worker who needs connectivity to the office.
Internet connectivity is often accomplished by the use of the public network internet. If you
plan to use your MiCollab Windows Desktop Client softphone outside of your
company's corporate network, you must configure Teleworker Settings. When the
Teleworker Settings are configured and enabled, the softphone will connect and register to the Teleworker server regardless if you are inside or outside your corporate network.
Non-Teleworker: Connecting via VPN from outside is considered being on the corporate LAN.
“Most Desktop users will not be Teleworkers”.
4. Manage Statuses (part of Dynamic Status feature) allows you to customize call handling based on your particular MiCollab Client status. For example, you may choose to make and receive calls using a certain number while In the Office but utilizing a different profile while
Working from Home. This is just one of the many features of MiCollab Client.
5. Several issues may arise preventing you from making or receiving a call, such as:
• Lost network connectivity - a message trying to reconnect will appear.
• Softphone de-activated or registration taken by another device. A notification pop-up will appear near the top of the screen, bring cursor over the notification and click
Connect to re-activate your softphone.
• Dialing a valid number / extension? If dialing an external number, is the prefix (i.e. 8 or 9) for external calls being automatically inserted by your system, try with and without the prefix.
• Try exiting and re-launching the MiCollab Client application (Main Menu, Exit), double click on the MiCollab Client icon from your desktop.
• Still having issues, you may need to contact your system or network administrator for assistance.
Teamwork mode
To support Teamwork Mode functionality, accounts that do not have a desk phone or a softphone will by default operate in Teamwork Mode. See
.
Server Admin portal impacts and considerations
In order to support Teamwork Mode, it is possible to have a group of user accounts with no real PBX nodes. By the same token, it is possible to have some accounts operate in Teamwork Mode (without a desk phone or softphone) while other users operate in a traditional mode with either a desk phone, softphone, or both assigned.
150
Installation and Configuration
The following MiCollab Client Service areas are impacted to support Teamwork Mode:
Enterprise Tab
There are no specific actions required on the Enterprise Tab for Teamwork Mode. However, note that the “Switch type” field is still mandatory. When creating a new enterprise that will not have any
PBX nodes and only have Teamwork Mode accounts, the switch type can be left at the default value of “Mitel Communications Director” (the value will be ignored). Otherwise, choose the switch type of your enterprise as usual.
Account Tab
The Account tab displays a PBX Node column for every account. If a user is not assigned to a PBX node or PBX Node is [None] (i.e. the user does not have a desk phone or a softphone), this column will be blank. Therefore, any account with a PBX Node column blank is considered to be in
Teamwork Mode.
A Teamwork Mode account that has a PBX Node value of [None] can be later moved to a real PBX node if they get assigned a phone on that PBX. However, an account that is assigned to a real PBX node cannot be moved back to Teamwork Mode.
Note:
When adding an account manually the PBX node must be set to 'None' for account to be in teamwork mode.
When using Active directory sync (see Synchronization MiCollab Client Teamwork Mode accounts
in active directory should be set to <enterpriseId>.local and no desk phone or softphone number must be assigned to the user account in active directory.
Account Details Page
To add a user in Teamwork Mode, in creating an account leave the “PBX node” field set to [None].
Note:
Prior to MiCollab Client 5.1, the admin was required to select a PBX node when creating an account. If there were no PBX nodes, the admin could not create accounts.
Features
There are no specific features related to Teamwork Mode. You can select any feature for a Teamwork
Mode account, however any phone or call control related features (such as Desk phone or Softphone) will be ignored. Also note that licenses for individual features such as Chat, Visual Voicemail, etc are still required.
Synchronization
MiCollab Client Teamwork Mode accounts (i.e. those accounts with no desk phone or softphone) can be created manually in Server Admin portal or via AD/LDAP synchronization as seen below:
Server Admin portal Teamwork Mode account creation:
1. From Accounts tab, select Add Account.
2. In the new Account Details page, select [None] for the PBX Node field.
151
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
3. Fill out other fields as you would normally fill them out (if they are available).
4. Select Create to create a new Account.
5. On the newly created Account Details page, fill out any other available information if necessary, such as Contact Information or Account Settings.
Note:
You should not add any numbers under Phone Numbers since Teamwork Mode accounts shouldn’t have a desk phone or softphone and cannot do call control.
6. Select Save when finished.
AD/LDAP Synchronization Teamwork Mode account creation:
1. Fill out all fields as you would for a regular account except for the following:
- Set PBX node value to <enterpriseId>.local, where <enterpriseId> is the ID of the enterprise being created and can be found on Enterprise Tab.
- Do not fill out fields for desk phone and softphone.
2. Perform AD/LDAP synchronization as usual. Newly created Teamwork Mode account should show [None] for PBX Node and no desk phone and softphone numbers on that account’s
Account Details page.
Default Account Statuses
The first time a user logs into a MiCollab Client, the MiCollab Client Service creates the following list of default set of Dynamic Statuses for a Teamwork Mode user:
• In the office
• Do not disturb
• Gone for the day.
152
Installation and Configuration
Calendar Integration
MiCollab Client provides users with the following option to integrate:
•
“Google Calendar Integration” on page 153
•
“MiCollab Client and Mitel CMG integration with MiVoice MX-ONE” on page 157
Google Calendar Integration
MiCollab Client provides users with the option to integrate with Google calendar.
Licensing
This feature is available by default and no specific MiCollab Client license is necessary.
Admin Portal
MiCollab Client can support connection to one Google enterprise domain. At the enterprise level, the Administrator must select between Exchange Integration, Office 365, or Google Calendar
Integration. This selection is accomplished by selecting Calendar Integration option under the
Enterprise Tab on the Admin Portal. In addition, the Advanced Calendar Integration Settings can also be found at this same location.
Note:
MiCollab Client 6.0 release has support for Google calendar integration. If MiCollab Client 5.1 mobile clients try to connect to a MiCollab Client 6.0 server which has Google calendar integration enabled, then the calendar integration feature will not be configurable from the clients. The calendar integration configuration screen on the clients may display a message to this effect:
“Calendar integration is not enabled on the server”. To make use of Google calendar integration, the clients need to be upgraded to MiCollab Client 6.0 or later software.
Authentication and access to Google Calendar
To provide the calendar integration feature, MiCollab Client Service will access Google calendars belonging to a specific Google Apps domain. MiCollab Client uses OAuth 2.0 to access Google calendars. One of the strengths of OAuth is that MiCollab Client does not need to know your Google
153
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Account credentials, and you can grant and revoke access permissions to MiCollab Client at anytime.
MiCollab Client administrator should setup this access as described below.
Notes:
Calendars with no sharing (Google users can control sharing on their individual calendars) will not publish free/busy information and hence their calendar availability information cannot be accessed by MiCollab Client. MiCollab Client administrators should ensure that users who want to make use of the Calendar Integration feature have shared their calendars.
The following sequence of steps will grant MiCollab Client Service the permission to access free/busy information from calendars belonging to the enterprise’s Google Apps domain (subject to sharing constraints as described above). This access privilege can be revoked at anytime (this feature will stop working if privileges are revoked) by logging into Google at: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens
For more information, please see: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer#tokenrevoke
The process for granting Google calendar access to applications is described in https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ForDevices. Below are the sequence of steps that need to be performed by the MiCollab Client administrator. For the latest information, please see the Google URL for OAuth2ForDevices (stated above).
1. From a browser, navigate to https://code.google.com/apis/console#access and login using your
Google Apps credentials.
You can login as the Google Apps domain SuperAdmin or as a Google Apps domain user. Each of these can affect how much information MiCollab Client can access from Google calendars:
• Login as SuperAdmin – This will allow MiCollab Client to access calendar free/busy information even when individual users have not shared their calendars.
• Login as a user – This will allow MiCollab Client to access calendar free/busy information for all the calendars that have been shared at least within your Google Apps domain.
Note:
In either of the above cases, MiCollab Client will only present the calendar free/busy information
(the start and end times of events). Other details (such as Event subject, content, participant list, etc.) will not be visible to MiCollab Client users even if MiCollab Client is able to access such information from Google calendar.
2. If you haven’t registered any applications before, click Create Project and accept the Terms of
Service. Otherwise, click Create Project.
3. Type the Project Name and click Create.
4. Click APIs from the APIs & auth menu and turn Calendar API to the ON position. This enables
Google Calendar API access.
5. Click Credentials. Click Create new Client ID under the OAuth section.
6. Select Installed application as the Application Type. Click Configure consent screen.
7. Enter the desired information and click Save. The Create Client ID window is displayed.
8. Select Installed application as the Application Type. Select Other as the Installed Application
Type. Click Create Client ID.
154
Installation and Configuration
Google generates a Client ID and Client Secret. These pieces of information are required by
Google to track the number of calendar access requests made on behalf of your Google Apps domain, and to throttle/limit the requests and protect the Google Apps infrastructure from overload.
Copy the Client ID and Client secret.
9. Login to MiCollab server-manager and go to the Installation Application tab under Configuration > Google Apps. Paste the Client ID and Client Secret provided in the previous step. The product name can be left blank.
10. Click Save and Generate Authorization Code. MiCollab now communicates with Google to obtain consent URI: If the information you entered was incorrect (for example, due to some error in copy-pasting), the MiCollab page will display a brief error message. If this happens, make sure to copy the information from Google console correctly and try again.
11. If the Client ID and Client Secret were valid, MiCollab communicates with Google and obtains an authorization code (displayed in bold), and a link to Google.
Copy the authorization code and click the link.
12. Paste the code and click Continue. You will now be presented with a form to allow MiCollab
Client to access your Google calendar. Click Accept.
Once you allow access, within a minute or so, MSL will poll Google and obtain OAuth2 access token. Once this operation is successfully completed, you may logout of your Google account and return to MiCollab Client Service-manager.
When these steps are complete, to verify whether MiCollab Client has access to the tokens, go to Server-Manager -> MiCollab Client Services -> Perform Server Diagnostics -> Calstatus. At the bottom of that page, MiCollab Client lists the recent OAuth2 events that it received.
To enable Google Calendar Integration on the server:
1. Select the desired enterprise
2. Under Calendar Integration, select Google from drop down Calendar Type list
3. Click the Enable calendar integration checkbox
4. Click Test Connection.
Once the connection is successful, apply changes and save the enterprise details. Now the MiCollab
Client users in that enterprise can enable Google calendar integration by providing their calendar
ID from their respective MiCollab Client s.

Changes to clients
Google Calendar setting
Note:
Google calendar has some options to control which events are displayed in the calendar and which are not. These options can be accessed from Google calendar's settings webpage. These options include (but are not limited to) “Show events you have declined”, “Only show invitations to which I have responded”, etc. While these options control some aspects of how events are displayed in your Google calendar, MiCollab Client's Google calendar integration status may not be controlled by them. More specifically, MiCollab Client reflects your Google calendar's Free/Busy status only, and does not necessarily correspond to what events are visibly “shown” to you in your
Google calendar. Even though some events are hidden from your view in the Google calendar (in order to reduce clutter, etc.) if those events influence the calendar's free/busy status (by default, events will mark your calendar as busy for the duration of the event unless they are declined, or are marked explicitly as “Available”), then MiCollab Client will reflect that status.
Calendar whose availability information is needed must be shared at least within the Google Apps domain. The calendars can be public, or shared with all event details visible, or shared with only free/busy information visible.
This setting can be accessed on Google calendar under “My calendars” -> <Calendar Name> ->
Click on the down arrow on the right -> Calendar settings ->Share this calendar -> Share this calendar with others. The image below shows a calendar that has shared its free/busy information.
Calendar ID
The clients should collect user’s Google calendar ID and provide the information to the server. The server will then poll that calendar.
User can find the calendar’s ID as follows:
Login to Google account at https://www.google.com/calendar. From the menu on the left-side, under
My Calendars, hover on your calendar name. To the right of the calendar name, you will see a drop-down arrow. Click that and select “Calendar settings”.
156
Installation and Configuration
The “Calendar settings” page shows the Calendar ID. Provide this ID to the MiCollab Client.
Note:
Google calendar has a relatively new feature called appointment slots. They can be created from the same UI as creating calendar events, but by choosing Appointment slots instead of Event. For this release of MiCollab Client (v6.0), Appointment Slots created in Google calendar will not be reflected as MiCollab Client dynamic status.
This is because Google APIs do not yet have the capability to retrieve appointment slots. This affects appointment slots created by a user and also slots accepted by someone. Neither type will be read by MiCollab Client. Normal events in the Google calendar will be processed and will be used to reflect MiCollab Client dynamic status.
MiCollab Client and Mitel CMG integration with MiVoice MX-ONE
When both the MiCollab Client and Mitel CMG are integrated with the MiVoice MX-ONE platform, both the MiCollab Client and Mitel CMG try to activate PBX diversions based on configured calendar integrations.
Mitel recommends that Mitel CMG Calendar Connection is configured to handle the PBX diversions.
To deactivate the MiCollab Desktop Client handling based on a calendar integration, configure the
Desktop Client to No status Change for the calendar status Busy and Out of Office.

CAUTION: If you have already enabled MiTeam on an Enterprise, and then you delete the
Enterprise, recreating the Enterprise will not restore MiTeam on that Enterprise.
Note: If a failure occurs, collect the log files and diagnostics (sosreport<file>.tar.gz) from the server manager View Log File page for Product Support. To have an OrganizationID reset, you must contact Product Support.
CAUTION: Perform a database backup after you enable MiTeam. If you restore a backup that was taken before MiTeam was enabled, you will be unable to re-enable MiTeam. You will require Mitel
Product Support to help you re-enable MiTeam.
8. In the Data Center Locations drop-down list, select the data center location. By default, us is selected.
Note: After the data center location is selected, changing the data center to a new location will not
move users’ stream content to the new location.
9. To give users MiTeam functionality:
assign MiVoice Business users with license bundles that provide UCC Premium licenses
assign MiVoice 5000, MiVoice MX-ONE, or MiVoice 400 users with Roles that provide UCC
Premium licenses.
Enterprise Configuration (Peered)
In a peered Enterprise solution, all peered Enterprises must have the same MiTeam OrganizationID
in order for all UCC Premium users in the Enterprise to join streams. Figure 10
shows an example of a peered configuration with MiTeam services:
CAUTION: Perform a database backup after you enable MiTeam. Once MiTeam is enabled, you cannot restore an earlier backup (that is a backup that was taken before MiTeam was enabled).

Adding MiTeam Services to a Peered Enterprise
1. After peering is set up, check the MiTeam Configuration box on one of the peered Enterprises.
Then, the MiCollab server copies the MiTeam Organization ID to the other peered Enterprises.
Do not enable MiTeam on the Enterprise servers until after they have been peered.
2. Enable the MiTeam Configuration box on each of the other peered Enterprises. If MiTeam configuration fails, a warning banner will be displayed in the MiCollab server manager. See
Resolving Conflicting OrganizationIDs .
3. Perform a database backup.
Adding Peering between Existing Enterprises
Peering is unidirectional from server to server. To allow all Premium UCC users on a site to participate in all streams, a fully meshed network of peered servers is recommended.
1. Check the MiTeam Configuration box on one of the peered Enterprises only. The OrganizationID is then propagated to the other peered Enterprises.
2. Next, check the MiTeam Configuration box on each of the other peered Enterprises.
Installation and Configuration
3. When peering is being added, the Enterprises will compare their OrganizationIDs and if they are different then peering will fail to be configured. If the MiTeam configuration fails, a warning
banner will be displayed in the MiCollab server manager. See Resolving Conflicting
4. Perform a database backup.
Resolving Conflicting OrganizationIDs
If Enterprises have different OrganizationIDs, you must choose one of the Organization IDs, copy it, and paste it into the field under the MiTeam Configuration heading on each of the other Enterprises.
CAUTION: If you change an OrganizationID, existing users will lose their chats, streams, and files that are associated with that OrganizationID.
1. Log into the server manager of the server that has the OrganizationID that you want to use for the site.
2. Under Applications, click MiCollab Client Service.
3. Click Configure MiCollab Client Service.

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
WebRTC Client Configuration
About the Web Real Time Communications Client (WebRTC)
The MiCollab WebRTC Client provides users with a web-based phone that they can access from a supported web browser. The softphone supports audio calls using the PC microphone, headsets and speakers.
The following basic features are supported:
• Make an outgoing call
• Answer an incoming call
• End a call
• Mute and un-mute a call
• Enter Dual Tone - Multi Frequency (DTMF) signals
• Perform an unsupervised (blind) transfer
• Receive ring back on outgoing calls
• Activate and deactivate the softphone.
• AWV Web sharing is available from within the MiTeam Web Client in MiCollab Release 7.2.1.
• Advanced logging such as "Send Problem Report" in the MiCollab Web Client is supported.
• Plantronics and Jabra headsets and PC integrated Audio are supported
Conditions and Limitations
The following conditions and limitations apply:
• The softphone is only supported on Mozilla Firefox 46 and higher or Google Chrome 50 and higher.
• Video is not supported.
• You must provision this functionality from the Users and Services application and the MiCollab
Client (UCA) administration interface. With MiCollab Client Deployment service (DeployU), this functionality is automatically provisioned.
• Only one WebRTC session is supported per user (multiple registrations are not supported).
• The WebRTC is included in all licensing bundles that provide the PC client with softphone.
• Users must close their browser window to log off. If a user closes the browser while a call is in progress, the call is ended.
• MiCollab contacts display incoming ringing screen does not always get updated and resolved, when receiving a call in WebClient-WebRTC.
Example:
• Calling 8492104, will display DE-04-Konf on all other clients. On WebRTC, it is displayed as 8492104. So for this call, the contact name is not updated.
170
Installation and Configuration
• Calling another extension such as 6207 (Alois), the call is transferred to 6208 Georgios.
After the transfer, a short name G.Palioudis is displayed instead of full name Georgios
Palioudis1.
• When doing the Handoff from Deskphone to WebRTC, the user receives a call as Un-
known@Browser and then it is resolved to G.Palioudis. But the full name is not displayed and the contact name does not get resolved.
Web Sharing Limitations on MiTeam Web Client
When you use web sharing from the MiTeam Web Client, the following additional limitations apply:
• On Windows platforms, sharing is not supported for applications that appear blacked out in the
Sharing selection dialog box. PowerPoint slide show mode cannot be shared. When the sharing selection box comes up, the slide show mode is blacked out.
• Sharing is not supported for the Windows Sticky Notes application.
Requirements
• MiCollab Release 7.2.1 or later is required.
• The WebRTC Web Client is supported in all configurations of the MiCollab Client Service.
• MiVoice Border Gateway 9.3.1 is required.
A valid user account with SIP credentials is required in the MiVoice Business Gateway. The SIP account can be the same as an existing Softphone SIP account. The Web Client Softphone participates in the Registration Claim scheme supported by the MiCollab Client SIP Softphone.
As such, the DN is shared across all softphones.
Configuration
To configure a user with a MiCollab Client WebRTC Client:
1. Configure a MiVoice Border Gateway to support WebRTC in Subscriber mode. The WebRTC
Gateway must be located on the MiVoice Border Gateway. Refer to the MiVoice Border Gateway
online help or MiVoice Border Gateway Installation and Maintenance Guide for instructions.
171
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
2. Required configuration parameters and values are provisioned from Client Deployment to Mi-
Collab Client Server and to MiCollab Web Client by default.
This provisioning is done for all synced Client Deployment users or MBG accounts.
Use the MBG FQDN as MBG SIP Host and MBG WebRTC SIP Host in the Client Deployment profiles.Depending on the MBG configuration, the FQDN resolves to the IP address of MBG.
It includes:
a. Server on WAN or MBG in MiCollab.
b. Public (AMC visible) IP address of the server (MBG only).
c. Single interface in a server (MBG only).
Workaround
If you do not have a FQDN, register for it and list it in the Web Certificate. If the Web Certificate is subdomain or you are already using a Wildcard Certificate, then you can use that for the new
FQDN.
If you are using split DNS, the FQDN may resolve to the LAN-side of MBG when inside the LAN.
It does not work correctly with WebRTC under all circumstances, so it is not recommended.
In certain split DNS scenarios, you can configure the parameter MBG SIP HOST with the IP address of WAN side of MBG for the Mobile Clients and configure MBG WebRTC SIP Host always with MBG’s FQDN.
3. Configure a user with a UCC Standard or Premium license. These licenses support PC client with softphones.
For MiVoice Business integrations in MiCollab Integrated Mode
a. In the MiCollab User and Services application, add the user.
b. Add a phone to the user with a device type that supports a softphone (UC Endpoint).
c. If Flow Through Provisioning is enabled, the phone service is also configured on the MiVoice
Business. If not, configure a softphone on the MiVoice Business platform for the user.
For MiVoice Business Integrations only
On the MiVoice Border Gateway, create a SIP user for the softphone:
a. Under Service configuration, click SIP users.
b. Click + to add a SIP user.
c. Check the Enabled box.
d. Enter Set-side username and ICP-side username.
e. Select the configured ICP.
f.
Enter and confirm Set-side and ICP-side passwords.
g. Set Availability to either Everywhere or WebRTC.
h. Click Save.
172
Installation and Configuration
For MiVoice Business integrations in Co-located or Stand-alone Mode
a. In the MiCollab Client application, add the user.
b. Add a phone to the user with a device type that supports a softphone (UC Endpoint).
For MiVoice 5000 or MiVoice MX-ONE integrations
a. Add the user from the communications platform manager with a role that supports a UCC
Standard or Premium bundle.
b. Add a phone to the user with a SIP device type.
For MiVoice 400 integrations
a. Add the user to the platform manager with a SIP phone.
b. Add a phone to the user with a SIP device type.
Registration Claim for MiVoice Business and MiVoice Office 400 is supported. Forking for
MiVoice MX-ONE, MiVoice-5000 and MiVoice Office 400 is supported.
For MiCollab Integrated Mode only
a. In the MiCollab Users and Services application, assign the extension to the softphone in the MiCollab Client tab.
Notify User
Send an email to the user that provides the URL to the MiCollab Client WebRTC server: https://<FQDN of the MiCollab Client Server>/ucs/micollab
To launch the WebRTC Client,
1. Open a Mozilla Firefox 46 + or Google Chrome 50 + browser.
2. Enter the URL to the WebRTC client in the browser address bar (see above).
3. Enter your MiCollab Client username and password.
4. Click in the lower right.
If there are multiple DNs with the client, select the phone from the drop-down list to use with
WebRTC.
5. Turn on the softphone. When you place a call, it is made using the user’s PC microphone and speakers (or headset/microphone).
Refer to the MiCollab Client Quick Reference Guide for information on the WebRTC Client.
If an UC Endpoint is used exclusively for WebRTC, the end user does not need a deployment email.
In MiCollab Integrated Mode, to avoid sending email to end user, uncheck the Send deployment
email check box in the template or in the phone tab.
In Co-located Mode and Stand-alone Mode MiCollab Client Service, override the email or change the wording to "Ignore this email for WebRTC".

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Troubleshooting WebRTC
General
Options to troubleshoot WebRTC register, calling, or audio issues:
1. Test the MBG built-in generic WebRTC client to determine if the same issue occurs on the MBG
WebRTC client.
Note: The built-in generic WebRTC client is only available on MBG with WebRTC Hosting Mode
"Host WebRTC Client locally".
a. Access the MGB generic WebRTC client at https://<MBGServer hostname>/webrtc b. Log in to the client using your Setside SIP credentials.
2. Contact your Mitel Authorized Dealer.
Audio Delays or Extended Ringing
Problem
There is a delay in the audio after you answer calls from the WebRTC client, and/or
Programmable Ring Group (PRG) phones do not stop ringing immediately after you answer a call from the WebRTC client.
Possible Cause
In some circumstances, there can be an approximately 10 second delay in receiving audio after you answer an inbound call on the WebRTC client. Other devices that ring in the same PRG may not stop ringing for the same duration of time. These issues may be caused by network adapters with
IP addresses that do not have access to the WAN. Some examples include:
• Network Interface Card (NIC) is plugged in to network A but is manually configured with an IP address on network B.
• NIC is installed with an auto-configured (169.x.x.x) address or is in the active state with an auto-configured address.
• NIC is connected to a test network that cannot reach the MiVoice Border Gateway.
• NIC is a virtual network adapter used for phones or other devices
174
Installation and Configuration
Corrective Actions
Check to see if this issue occurs in both Chrome and Firefox browsers. If the issue only occurs with
Chrome, you can use Firefox as an alternative.
To identify the NIC that is causing the issue, disable all network adapters except the primary LAN connection. After you disable all the network adapters, check that the issue is no longer present.
Then, enable each adapter one at a time. When the problem re-occurs, disable the NIC that is causing the issue.
For Chrome users, solve this issue by downloading the plug in from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webrtc-network-limiter/npeicpdbkakmehahjeeohfdhnlp dklia?hl=en and installing it.
Audio Level
Problem
During WebRTC call, voice is crackling or the audio level is low or high.
Corrective Actions
a. Ensure that you have selected the correct microphone in the browser settings.
b. Set up and configure the device (Headset Microphone or the Bluetooth Headset) that you are using on your computer. Refer your operating system’s help for setting up the devices.

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
MiVoice 69xx IP Phone Avatar Configuration
MiCollab Client Avatars (photos) can be uploaded to the MiCollab Client Service by the user, administrator, or from an Active Directory Server using Integrated Directory Services. The user’s avatar is displayed in the user’s MiCollab client.
These avatars (photos) can also be displayed on MiVoice 69xx series IP Phones.
Conditions
• Avatars are supported for MiVoice 69xx series IP Phones on MiVoice Business communications platforms only.
• Avatars are only supported for users with unique directory numbers across all the peered enterprises. Avatars are not supported if the directory number is not unique. For example, on a site which is configured with several voice clusters and is re-using DNs within each voice cluster, or on a site that is configured with local-only DNs that are not unique. For users, which do not have unique DNs, no avatar will be shown.
• No avatar is displayed, if:
the user’s number is not in local or peered enterprise directories,
a user exist’s in the local enterprise, but does not have a photo or
there is more than one user with the same directory number across all the enterprises (both the local and the peered enterprises).
• The avatar URL that is displayed in the MiCollab Client Enterprise tab must be configured in the
MiVoice Business system administration tool in the Online Services URL form.
• When using external servers, it is the administrator's responsibility to ensure that the URLs and the resources that they point to are kept in sync with the MiVoice Business system.
• Avatars cannot be uploaded to the MiVoice Business system.
• For security reasons, never use public servers to distribute resources. Use only private servers on the same network as the MiVoice Business System.
• In order for the phone to access avatars, the IP phone must be on a network that is trusted by the MiCollab server.
• The Calling Line Identification (CLID) must be removed from directory numbers of phones in order to access avatars on the MiCollab Server. In the MiCollab Client Enterprise tab, enter the
CLID that should be removed from directory numbers when a phone accesses an avatar on the
MiCollab Server. For example, if the CLID is configured as 9 and the directory number in the
URL is 99000, then the MiCollab Client Service will look for directory number 9000 in its database.
• If you update a user’s avatar, it takes up to 12 hours before image is refreshed on the IP phones.
176
Installation and Configuration
Set Permissions
Access to the avatar URL is restricted by the MiCollab Server to your local network (or subnet) by default. If the phones are on a different subnet than the MiCollab Server, it is necessary to allow them access. First, you must configure the phones in a trusted local network and then you can grant them express permission.
If the phones are used in Teleworker mode, the MiVoice Border Gateway must also be in the trusted network.
To configure the phones and MiVoice Border Gateway in a trusted network:
1. Log in to the MiCollab Server Manager.
2. Under Configuration, click Networks.
3. Configure the subnet or network of the phones and MiVoice Border Gateway as “trusted”. See online help for instructions.
Configure Avatar Support
1. Log in to the MiCollab Server Manager.
2. Under Applications, click MiCollab Client Service.
3. Click Configure MiCollab Client Service.
4. Click the Enterprise tab.
5. Under CLID Translation, enter the list of prefixes to be removed from the IP Phones that will access avatars from this MiCollab Client Service.
6. Under Settings, copy the URL from the Avatar URL field. This URL points to the location on the MiCollab Server where the avatars are stored. You must copy this URL to the MiVoice
177
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Business Online Service URLs form.
178
Note: Where there are multiple peered MiCollab or MiCollab Clients servers with multiple MiVoice
Business platforms, you must program a different MiCollab URL into each of the MiVoice Business platforms to distribute the avatar request load.
7. Log in to the MiVoice Business System Administration tool.
Note: Disable the privacy setting for DN on MiVoice Business System Administration to see avatar for that DN.
8. Access the Online Service URLs form.
9. Paste the URL of the MiCollab Server where the avatar files are located into the Avatar field.
Installation and Configuration
Note: The MiVoice Business Online Service URLs form is not shared through System Data
Synchronization (SDS).
Check the MiVoice 69xx Phones
Note: It can take up to 12 hours before avatars appear on all the phones.
Check that MiVoice Business 69xx Phones exhibit the following behavior:
• In the idle display, the MiVoice 69xx shows the user’s MiCollab Client avatar.
• Place a call from a MiVoice 69xx IP Phone to another user’s MiVoice 69xx IP Phone.
• The called party’s avatar appears in your display; your avatar appears on the called party’s display.

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Before executing manually, the user has to explicitly close Skype for Business and then upgrade the MiVoice for Skype for Business. To perform the upgrade, the user must have installation permissions on the computer or provide the administrator credentials when prompted. It is not required to uninstall the previous software version prior to performing an upgrade.
Once the upgrade is complete, the MiVoice for Skype for Business and Skype for Business client will be restarted. The existing settings will be preserved throughout an upgrade.
Client only delivery
Client Only Delivery functionality delivers Windows MiCollab Windows Desktop Client without having to upgrade the MiCollab Client Service version.
The Client Versions section in MiCollab Client Service Administration section allows for the administration of these upgrades.
Using the Administration web interface you will be able to install, upgrade, or downgrade selected components of the MiCollab Client Service blade by specifying a local client package and clicking the “Upload MiCollab Client” link.
An “Operation status report” displays either a successful client software package installation or an error message indicating a validation step has failed. Several validation steps are performed to prevent user from:
• uploading files that are not valid client packages
• replacing a system or MiCollab Client Service level component
• uploading a corrupted client file
Note:
There is no ability or mechanism to remove any individual MiCollab Client software clients.
User upgrades (stand-alone to integrated)
MiCollab Client provides two options for users: Integrated and Stand-alone:
• Integrated MiCollab Client users: Users who are licensed for the Desk Phone or Softphone features and not the Stand-alone Web Client feature have access to the integrated suite of
MiCollab Client interfaces including the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client, Web Client, and
Mobile Portal.
• Stand-alone MiCollab Client users: Users who are licensed for the Stand-alone Web Client and not the Desk Phone or Softphone features can access MiCollab Client features from the corresponding portal only. They do not have access to the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client application.
MiCollab Client provides an upgrade process to upgrade stand-alone users to integrated.
To upgrade Stand-alone Web Client users to Integrated:
1. Purchase the desired number of Desk Phone and/or Softphone licenses from the AMC. A Desk
Phone or Softphone license is required for integrated users (see
).
186
Maintenance
2. From the MSL Server Manager interface, synchronize the MiCollab Client Service with the AMC
to verify that the server has the appropriate licenses for each user (see “Verify MiCollab Client
Service licensing” on page 117
).
3. From the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface, complete the following tasks:
• Do one of the following to apply the Desk Phone or Softphone license to the users you want to upgrade (Accounts Tab – <user> – Account Details page – Licensed Features):
- For each user, select a feature profile that includes the Desk Phone or Softphone licensed features.
Note:
If required, configure a feature profile that includes the Desk Phone and/or Softphone licensed features (Features Tab – Add Profile).
- For each user, select the Desk Phone or Softphone Add-On feature.
• If other account -specific changes are required, reconfigure those fields and options on the
Account Details page for each user.
• Resend the Welcome e-mail message to each upgraded user.
Note:
See the Online Help for information about the following topics:
• Stand-alone vs. integrated user settings

• Calstatus: Provides a set of diagnostic functions that can be used for troubleshooting. Although some of the diagnostic information is valid for all types of Calendar Integration, the Calstatus diagnostics are geared towards Microsoft Exchange, Office 365 and Google Calendar
Integration.
Note:
Some operations with Calstatus diagnostics can cause issues with Calendar and Google,
Office 365, or Exchange Integration. Use caution when reviewing Calstatus values and work in conjunction with your Google, Office 365, or Exchange server administrator and Mitel
Technical Support if necessary when handling problems.
The following is a description of the information that can be accessed through these diagnostics:
• Enterprises and Advanced Configuration: This page under the Calstatus diagnostics tab lists all the enterprises available on the MiCollab Client Service.
- Enterprise Details: If any of the enterprises have either a Google, Office 365, or
Exchange Server configured and enabled for Calendar Integration, those are listed under the Calendar Integration column. If Google, Office 365 and Exchange Integration is disabled for an enterprise, then the Details link is not displayed. Clicking on the Details link displays the Calendar Integration details for that enterprise.
- Advanced Configuration: Below the list of enterprises, the page shows Advanced
Configuration for the Calendar Integration. For more information about these fields, changing them, and the effects of such changes, see the MiCollab Client Administrator
Online Help system.
- List of recent OAuth 2.0 Data Updates is also displayed on this page.
• Enterprise Details: This page shows the detailed Google, Office 365, or Exchange Integration configuration information for a specific enterprise.
- Enterprise Name: MiCollab Client enterprise name
- Calendar Integration Type: Google, Office 365 or MS Exchange
- Enterprise’s calendar integration active?: Indicates whether or not the Google, Office
365, or Exchange Integration is active and enabled for this enterprise. If there are any permanent errors associated with this calendar integration, this flag shows “No”. If error details are available, those details are shown at the bottom of the page.
- Is Temporarily Disabled?: Indicates whether communication with Google, Office 365, or Exchange server has been temporarily disabled. If details are available, they are shown below this flag, along with a time stamp of when the communication will be retried. For this retry to happen, no action needs to be taken by the Administrator.
191
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
MiCollab Client will continue to retry until the error is resolved.
- Exchange Access URL: The Exchange Web Services (EWS) URL on the Exchange server. MiCollab Client retrieves user calendar information from this URL.
- Exchange Impersonation Enabled?: Indicates whether or not MiCollab Client
Exchange integration is configured to use impersonation.
- Exchange Server Access Username: Displays the Exchange username that is used to retrieve calendar information.
- Exchange Access Credentials Valid?: Indicates whether or not the Exchange access username and password are valid.
- Exchange Version: Displays the Exchange server version.
- Subscription URL: Displays the Subscription URL (applicable to Exchange Integration only).
- Users List: The lists displayed are categorized according to users’ status and are based on error conditions, if any exist:
- Number of Valid Users: Lists users who have Google or 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
Google, Office 365, or Exchange Integration is active. Users who have configured either
Google, Office 365, or Exchange Integration but have disabled it or those who have been deactivated because of errors do not show up in this list.
- Deactivated: various errors: see list below.
- Deactivated: temporarily disabled.
- 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.
• User Lists: Select a user from the list or enter the user’s MiCollab Client login ID and click
Show User Details. This takes you to either the user’s Google, Office 365, or Exchange
Integration details page.
• User Details: This page displays details about the user’s Google, Office 365, or Exchange
Integration configuration and status. Most of the settings shown here are configured by the user from a MiCollab Client.
- Calendar Type: Indicates the type of Calendar Integration chosen by the user. This can be Google, Office 365, MS Exchange, Outlook, or Lotus Notes based on the configuration. Most of the information on the User Details page is grayed out unless the
Integration is with Google, Office 365, or Exchange, because the remaining types (such as Outlook/Notes) are managed by MiCollab Clients, and not by MiCollab Client
Service.
- MiCollab Client User ID: Displays the user’s MiCollab Client Enterprise ID and user ID.
• User’s Calserver Credentials Valid: Indicates whether or not the user’s credentials are valid.
- User’s Calendar integration Valid: Indicates whether or not the user has configured
Calendar Integration.
192
Maintenance
- CalServer Primary e-mail Address: Displays the user’s Exchange primary e-mail address.
• CalServer Username (specific to Exchange Integration): Shows the user’s Exchange username. The “Dissociate Credentials” option clears out the user’s Exchange credentials that are cached on the MiCollab Client Service and immediately disables the user’s
Exchange Integration.
Use with caution.
• Google Calendar ID: Shows the user’s Google Calendar ID. The “Dissociate Credentials” option clears out the user’s Google credentials that are cached on the MiCollab
Client Service and immediately disables the user’s Google Integration.
Use with caution.
- User’s Calendar integration Active: Indicates whether or not the user’s Calendar
Integration is active. A user’s Calendar Integration could be inactive if the user has disabled Calendar Integration or as a result of other errors, usually with user configuration. Therefore these errors are specific to that user and do not affect Calendar
Integration for the entire enterprise. If errors details are available, they are displayed in this field, as shown in the examples below. In the first example, a user has disabled
Calendar Integration from the client. In the second example, the Exchange server has returned an error that the Exchange e-mail address entered by the user has no mailbox associated with it (this is most likely a result of entering the e-mail address incorrectly).
Even if user’s calendar integration settings are all correct, there could be other problems
(such as network connectivity issues, or incorrect calendar integration settings at the
Enterprise level. In such cases, calendar integration will be disabled for that entire enterprise. Such problems are not specific to a user. However, to indicate the presence of a problem, those problems are also shown in the user details page.
- In the example shown below, the communication with Exchange server has been temporarily disabled. The error details indicate that the MiCollab Client Administrator can act on it. Since this is not a user-specific error, the user cannot do much apart from notifying the Administrator of the error. Not correcting the error but trying to reactivate this user alone will not help, because the user will encounter the same error once again and will get disabled.
193
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
194
After correcting the error conditions, you can click on “Reactivate User” to have MiCollab
Client reinitiate the user’s Calendar 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.
Calendar Integration Enabled?: Indicates whether the user has enabled/disabled
Calendar Integration from the client.
Advisory Message Enabled?: Indicates whether the user has enabled/disabled Calendar
Advisory. If advisory is disabled, Calendar Integration continues to work, but MiCollab
Clients do not display advisory messages such as “In a meeting until 11:30 AM”.
Status Transition Settings: Lists the MiCollab Client status transitions configured by the user. These MiCollab Client status transitions are triggered based on the user’s calendar status.
Calendar Event Subscription: The MiCollab Client Service subscribes to event notifications with the Exchange or Office 365 server. If a user’s calendar is updated, then the Exchange or Office 365 server notifies the MiCollab Client Service of this update through the subscription mechanism. The times at which the last few subscriptions occurred, the times at which the Exchange or Office 365 server sent the notifications, and so on can be helpful in troubleshooting problems. The MiCollab Client Service initiates subscriptions based on the configured interval (see Advanced Settings in the MiCollab
Client Administrator Online Help). Clicking on “Force Resubscription” causes the MiCollab
Client Service to immediately try to initiate a subscription for this user.
Calendar Event Polling: The MiCollab Client Service periodically polls the Google,
Exchange or Office 365 server to fetch users’ calendar information. The times at which the polling occurred and the next scheduled poll time can be useful in troubleshooting problems. The “Force Event Poll Now” button causes the MiCollab Client Service to
Maintenance
immediately initiate an event poll for this user.
Last few MiCollab Client status changes triggered by calendar availability: This is a list of the last few MiCollab Client dynamic status changes caused by either Google,
Exchange or Office 365 Integration. If the MiCollab Client dynamic status changes for any reason other than Google, Exchange or Office 365 Integration, that change is not shown here. For each status change, the time of change, the previous status, the next status, calendar advisory (if any), and status names and IDs are displayed.
• Integrated Directory Services (IDS) Auth Cache: When MiCollab Client is operating in MiCollab integrated mode, the administrator can setup Integrated Directory Services (MiCollab IDS) to authenticate MiCollab Client users. In that configuration, IDS will authenticate MiCollab Client users’ login passwords with a configured LDAP server (in most deployments, an Active Directory server). The password can change on the ActiveDir server (for example, due to a password expiry policy). When this happens, MiCollab Client users should not be allowed to login with their old passwords, for the sake of security. To accomplish this, MiCollab Client Service periodically validates passwords with IDS (which in turn validates it with the ActiveDir).
In most cases there is no special configuration needed to use this feature. However, there are some parameters which can be tweaked if necessary. They are described in the following sections.
When MiCollab Client detects that the password has changed on ActiveDir and the password previously entered by the MiCollab Client user is no longer valid, the user will be logged out of the MiCollab Clients (if they are logged in at that time). The user will have to re-login with the new password.
• How to enable MiCollab Client IDS Password monitoring: The administrator does not need to do anything explicit to enable this. When MiCollab Client is operating in MiCollab-integrated mode, the monitoring will turn itself on.
•
Server Status:
• Server Mode: This field indicates whether MiCollab Client is operating in MiCollab-Colocated or MiCollab-Integrated mode. The password monitoring is disabled in Co-located mode, and only works in integrated mode.
• Number of Subscribers being monitored: Indicates how many MiCollab Client users’ passwords are being monitored. All the users on the MiCollab Client system may not be monitored. Specifically, if a MiCollab Client user has never logged in through a MiCollab
Client, that user will not be monitored. Once the user logs in for the first time, monitoring will start for that user.
• State of server: Indicates whether the password monitoring is initializing or is fully up and running.
• Last password validation occurred at: Shows the timestamp of the last validation.
This does not necessarily mean that the password was valid, but it is only the time when the validation attempt was made.
• Configuration Parameter: In most cases these parameters do not need to be changed and the default values work fine.
• Subscriber Load Retry Delay: During the initialization phase of the password monitoring, if there are any errors in loading the subscribers, server will wait for some time and retry. This parameter controls the duration of that wait.
195
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
• MiCollab Mode Retry Delay: MiCollab Client Service checks periodically whether it is in integrated mode or not. This parameter controls how often MiCollab Client checks for the mode. The monitoring only starts when MiCollab Client is in integrated mode.
• Poll Loop Delay: When in integrated mode, MiCollab Client Service periodically checks whether any subscriber is eligible for password monitoring right now. This parameter controls how often that check is made.
• Password Validation Interval: When in integrated mode, MiCollab Client Service periodically validates each user’s password.This parameter controls how often each user’s password is validated. By default the parameter is set to 6 hours. That means once a user’s password is changed in ActiveDir, within 6 hours (3 hours on average because the users are uniformly distributed in that time interval) the MiCollab Client will detect it and notify the user. The minimum parameter value is 4 hours (this is to prevent overloading the IDS and ActiveDir server with frequent requests) and maximum is 24 hours.
• Last few Errors: This section shows some errors that occurred in the past. Invalid user password is not an error condition. Errors are listed if there are any problems contacting the
ActiveDir server and other such issues.
When errors like this occur, the MiCollab Client user’s password is not immediately invalidated. MiCollab Client Service will periodically keep retrying until it can successfully contact the ActiveDir server determine whether the password is correct or not.
• User Details: This section shows the password monitoring details for a particular user. For troubleshooting, you can force the MiCollab Client Service to immediately re-validate a user’s password. To do this, enter the loginID and click “Validate User’s password now”. It can take about 10-30 seconds for ActiveDir to respond. After that time, click on “Show User
Details” again to check whether user’s password was valid or not. Once the user’s password is determined to be incorrect, all the logged in MiCollab Clients for that user will be logged out. User will need to enter the new password and log back in.
MiCollab Client Service Chat maintenance
This section describes how to disable chat storage on the MiCollab Client Service and how to remove existing chat history from the server.

Go to the MiCollab Client Service configuration page and click the Perform Server
Diagnostics under Diagnostics.
Locate SIPIMS and click Stop.
2. Move all files from the /opt/intertel/data/imarchive directory.
You may want to move the files to /root by performing 'mv hab_ims_archive* /root' from the
/opt/intertel/data/imarchive directory. You can do this with PuTTY, but if there are many files, you may want to use an application such as WinSCP.
You can also delete the files from the PuTTY command line if you do not want to keep the history.
3. Restart MiCollab Client Service.
MiCollab Windows Desktop Client maintenance
This section describes how to install custom options, repair an installation, and uninstall the MiCollab
Windows Desktop Client.
Install custom options
During a typical installation of MiCollab Client, the installer detects the PIMs that are installed on the user's computer and installs the associated extensions by default. However, in the case where a custom installation was performed and an extension was not installed, or in the case where a PIM was installed after MiCollab Client was installed, MiCollab Client prompts the user to install the PIM extension on startup. Users can install PIM extensions and other custom options using the Custom
Install option available in the installation wizard.
Custom options include:
• ACT! Integration: Includes the ACT! PIM extension, which provides contact integration between
ACT! and MiCollab Client.
• Dial from IE: Allows users to dial an external number from Internet Explorer using MiCollab
Client.
• Lotus Notes Integration: Includes the Lotus Notes PIM extension, which provides contact integration between Lotus Notes and MiCollab Client and provides dialing from Lotus Notes.
• Outlook Extensions: Includes the Outlook PIM extension, which provides contact integration between Outlook and MiCollab Client and provides dialing from Outlook.
• MiCollab Client Office Smart Tag: Adds Smart Tags/Actions to Microsoft Office Applications, allowing users to dial external numbers from the applications using MiCollab Client. Users must complete additional configuration in the application to enable Smart Tags/Actions.

MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Figure 2 provides an example of a synchronization summary. This MiCollab Client Service has two
AD/LDAP Synchronizers, logged as two domains: california_branch and newyork_branch.
Figure 0-2
212
Figure 2: Synchronization summary example
Domain synchronization summary
Domain summaries are displayed after the SUMMARY BEGIN tab.
Each domain corresponds to one AD/LDAP Synchronizer that has been defined on the
Synchronization tab in the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface. Domain summaries are output for each AD/LDAP Synchronizer.
Domain summaries include the following information:
• Actions: Describes the various actions taken on the accounts for that domain. For example, for the california_branch domain example:
• 2 accounts were sent for account creation. This indicates that 2 accounts passed through all the synchronization pre-processing and were sent out to other MiCollab Client Service modules for further processing.
Troubleshooting
• 2 accounts were rejected because: PBX Node IP is not set. This indicates that these 2 accounts did not have a valid PBX Node IP attribute populated and were therefore rejected
(PBX Node IP is a mandatory parameter for AD/LDAP sync). This can happen because the field mapping is incorrect (pointing to an invalid LDAP attribute name) or the accounts did not have any value for that attribute.
• Other Errors: Describes other problems, which can be due to incorrect configuration or incorrectly populated account details on the LDAP server. For example, 14 accounts were rejected
because: Neither Deskphone nor Softphone attributes are set.
• Account Names: Lists the account names of the accounts in each category. This list allows you to focus on one account and examine why it was or was not rejected. For example, Accounts
for which PBX Node IP is not set: CN=John D. Smith|CN=John Doe|.
Account totals
Account totals are displayed just before the SUMMARY END tag.
Account totals 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, MiCollab Client 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:
• The synchronizer configuration did not contain any eligible accounts. Note that an overly restrictive LDAP query can cause this.
• 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 MiCollab Client Service if the synchronization is successful.
If you do not see this many accounts on your MiCollab Client Service, the following issues may be the cause:
• Synchronization incomplete: The synchronization process may not be complete yet. Refresh the Synchronization tab on the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface to show the status of the synchronization.
• Insufficient licenses: MiCollab Client Service 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.
213
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
• Incorrect PBX Node IP address: Accounts may not have their PBX Node IP address set to one of the configured PBX Nodes in the MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface.
Note:
MiCollab Client Service does not convert IP addresses to hostnames and vice versa. For example, if the PBX Node has been configured as an IP address on MiCollab Client Service, then the accounts being synchronized should also include an IP address in the PBX Node IP field. View the dsm.log.* file for further details.
• 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.
License and PBX changes
Follow these guidelines about which action to perform on the MiCollab Client Service administrator interface for license and PBX changes. See the online help for instructions.
• Licensing changes: Adding a licensed feature to your installation requires you to perform a synchronization with the AMC from the MSL Server Manager interface. After the license synch with AMC, you may have to wait up to 15 minutes for the AMC_AGENT module in MiCollab
Client Service to update the MiCollab Client Service database with the license information. If after 15 minutes, it does not appear that the license is enabled, restart the MiCollab Client
Service.
• Changing a Directory Number (DN) on the PBX: Changing line configuration requires you to complete a line monitor refresh (MiVoice Business only) for the node using the Administrator interface. No restart is required.
• Adding a DN on the PBX: Adding a DN requires you to complete a manual synchronization for the PBX node if the DN needs to be pulled into the MiCollab Client Service database. No restart is required.
• Deleting an Existing DN: Deleting a DN from the MiCollab Client Service database requires you to complete a manual synchronization for the PBX node. No restart is required.
• Changing Voice Mail: Changing voice mail numbers does not require a MiCollab Client Service restart.
Account reactivation following license changes
After making licensing changes to MiCollab Client such as restoring a license or installing a license, you may need to reactivate accounts in the MiCollab Client Administrator interface.
When a license is revoked, the user will be unable to use the feature or device in the MiCollab
Windows Desktop Client.
To properly provision licensed features to MiCollab Client users, you must do all of the following
• Verify MiCollab Client licenses from the AMC (see
“Verify MiCollab Client Service licensing” on page 117
).
•
Sync the MiCollab Client Service with the AMC to update licenses (see page 117
).
• Provision the features to users in the MiCollab Client Administrator interface:
214
Troubleshooting
• Create a Feature Profile by selecting the licensed features for the profile.
• Assign the Feature Profile to accounts.
See the MiCollab Client Service 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,
https://<MSL_server_FQDN>/server-manager
) where the MiCollab Client Service 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.
3. Under ServiceLink, click Status. The ServiceLink Status Information page appears.
4. Verify that the status and expiration for the Mitel MiCollab Client Service subscription is valid and active.
5. Under Applications, click MiCollab Client Service.
6. Click Configure Mitel MiCollab Client Service.
7. Click the Accounts tab. The Accounts tab displays an Active column when at least one account is inactive.
8. Select the accounts to activate and click Activate.
9. When prompted to confirm the activation, click OK.
Calendar integration troubleshooting
This section provides troubleshooting information for Calendar Integration on MiCollab Client.
Failure to successfully connect to the Exchange or Office 365 server
When configuring the Exchange or Office 365 server from the Enterprise Tab of the MiCollab Client
Administration Tool, the following error can be encountered when testing the connection:
Invalid calendar server credentials
If this error is encountered, perform the following steps:
1. Re-enter the credentials and click the Test Connection button again to rule out spelling errors.
2. Ensure that no one in your organization has changed the password for the account being used for MiCollab Client-Exchange integration.
3. Verify that the IIS Webserver on the Exchange server has enabled at least one of Basic or Digest authentication mechanism. MiCollab Client Service does not support NTLM authentication mechanism (also known as Windows Authentication) and will fail authentication if that is the only type of authentication enabled on Exchange server. To verify this, do the following:
215
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
a. PuTTY onto the MiCollab Client Service and run the following command. Replace the Ex-
change URL and user/password with one reflecting your configuration. If you have enabled only digest authentication on the Exchange server, then change the –-basic to –-digest in the curl command options:
C curl -v --insecure --basic -u 'administrator:password' -d '' https://exchange.mitel.com/ews/exchange.asmx
b. This command should NOT return 401/403 response codes. If it does, then you may need to enable Basic/Digest authentication on the Exchange server. More specifically, look at the HTTP headers shown in the curl response. The WWW-Authenticate headers should contain Basic and/or Digest (for example, WWW-Authenticate: Digest qop="auth",... OR WWW-Au-
thenticate: Basic realm="10.101...
). If the response has only NTLM header (such as WWW-Authenticate: NTLM), then your Exchange server is configured for only NTLM.
4. To enable Basic/Digest authentication (this applies for Windows Server 2003 R2 – your exact steps may vary):
a. Start IIS Manager: Start -> All programs -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information
Services (IIS) Manager.
b. Navigate to EWS: (Local computer -> Web Sites -> Default Web Site -> EWS).
c. Right click -> Properties -> Directory Security -> Authentication and access control -> Edit.
d. Check Digest, Basic, or both. Apply and Save.
e. From the DOS prompt, enter: iisreset.exe /RESTART
f.
Attempt the curl command again. The curl command may show a 500 response, which is acceptable. It should not show a 401/403 response.
• For Exchange 2013 server, see http://www.itnotes.eu/?p=2455.
Google calendar integration error after database backup and restore or MSL upgrade
When MSL is upgraded (or after database backup and restore), the Google OAuth2 tokens are lost
(this is due to security reasons, so that the refresh token may not be read from a DB backup).
Therefore, the Google OAuth2 configuration has to be redone. Until that configuration is complete, the MiCollab Client will disable Google calendar integration and will retry every 15 minutes (with default configuration) to re-read the OAuth2 tokens. When MiCollab Client tries to read the tokens and fails it raises and alarm and sends error notifications to MiCollab Clients (to the effect that the access token is empty).
The MiCollab Clients will receive these error popups (see below) every 15 minutes until the OAuth2 configuration is complete. To minimize this impact, you should re-configure OAuth2 as soon as the
DB restore or MSL upgrade is done.

In addition, if an exception occurs that forces a client shut down, the error message generated includes the option to report the problem. This option is selected by default.
The Problem Reporting Tool dialog box prompts the user to provide both a brief and detailed description of the problem.
By default, the MiCollab Windows Desktop Client attaches the following compressed log files to the report:
• ucc.log.
1
• SipSubscriber
• uca.dmp (if available)
• SoftphoneManager.log
After the user sends the report, the log files sent by the MiCollab Windows 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
Note:
The report is sent to the e-mail address configured in the MSL Server Manager interface under
Configuration – E-mail settings – Forwarding address for administrative e-mail (see
It is assumed that the MiCollab Client administrator and the MSL administrator are the same person.
The compressed log file included with the report is stored on the MiCollab Client Service 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
“Server troubleshooting” on page 202 ). After 30 days client log files are automatically
deleted from the server.
For information about MSL administrator tasks, see the MSL Server Manager online help or the MSL

Appendix A
MiCollab Meeting Center Configuration
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Overview
The MiCollab Meeting Center is an integration of single tap to call in MiCollab Audio, Web and
Video conferences from the 6800 and 6900 series desk phones. When a MiCollab Audio, Web and
Video Conference is scheduled to start, the user taps the Join button to join the audio portion of the
Conference.
This section describes the procedure to configure MiCollab components and Microsoft Exchange for MiCollab Meeting Center.
Requirements
• MiCollab users should have valid MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conference.
• Meeting Center requires unique primary DNs on the MiCollab Server for users requesting the feature from the phone. Additional accounts on Peered Servers will not affect the functionality.
• Server based Calendar Integration is established for Microsoft Exchange 2013 and higher or
Microsoft Office 365.
• Access to calendars using an impersonation account or delegation to a service account. See the Enterprise section in MiCollab Client Service Administrator interface Online help for details.
• MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing URL including access code must be a part of the
<location> attribute in the Outlook appointment or meeting. The URL is same as the conference link on MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing. Format of the URL should be: https://<server fqdn>/call/<meeting id>
Example URL: https://company.domain.com/call/xxxxxxx
A room can be specified in the Location field along with MiCollab Audio, Web and Video
Conferencing URL, separated by a semicolon.
• Meeting Center URL must be provisioned on the phones. http://<micollabsrv>/MiCollabMeeting/meetings/$$SIPUSERNAME$$/$$LOCALIP$$
• Supported phone series, firmware version, and communication platform:
Phone series
Firmware version
Communication platform
• 69xx: 6920, 6930, and 6940
• 68xx: 6867, 6869, and 6873
69xx version 1.2
MiVoice B 8.0 SP2
Note:
For information on configuration of call managers, see Administrator Guides for 6800 and 6900 series SIP Phones on MiVoice Business, MiVoice MX-ONE, MiVoice 5000, and
MiVoice Office 400 communication platforms.
244
MiCollab Meeting Center Configuration
• Support for (public) dial-in numbers in canonical E.164 format on the PBX, are configured if needed.
• Microsoft Exchange and MiCollab Server clocks must be synchronized.
• Configure soft key to access the phone’s calendar.
• MiCollab should have Calendar Integration enabled with Microsoft Exchange or Office 365 with subscription type as Impersonation or Delegation. This can be verified from Calendar Integration details under MiCollab Client Service > Configure MiCollab Client Service section.
https://10.xxx.xxx.xxx/ews/exchange.asmx
• MiCollab users have set Primary e-mail same as that of Microsoft Exchange. This can be verified from account details under MiCollab Client Service > Configure MiCollab Client Service section.
• MiCollab users must have a valid MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing license.
• The MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conference URL link must be configured in the location field of the Microsoft Outlook meeting. MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferences can be created using the end-user portal or the MiCollab Microsoft Outlook plugin.
245
MiCollab Client Administrator Guide
Conditions and Limitations
The following conditions and limitations apply:
• Meeting Center can only support MiCollab users (with the DN of the 68xx or 69xx as primary DN).
• MiCollab Meeting Center is supported on MiCollab Server 8.0 in Integrated Servers and
Co-located Standalone Servers with a single tenant (no overlap DNs and e-mail addresses).
• If the meeting is already started, meeting notifications may be missed for the users created on a Peered MiCollab Server.
• If the extension length (numbering system) is different on peered MiCollab servers, the user can join the meeting using the external dial-in number.
• Only the meetings within the next 12 hours will be displayed.
• Changes to the DN of a user does not get reflected after the initial URL request from the phone.
Restart of Tomcat is needed to refresh the settings.
• There are no notifications for change or update or removal of Outlook appointments or meetings.
To get new meetings list, refresh the meetings list using the softkey on the phone.
• Meetings will only be displayed within the Exchange or Office 365 duration and will be removed from the list, even if the call duration is extended. To extend the MiCollab Audio, Web and Video
Conference, extend the calendar meeting. This will re-sync the server to new settings.
• If MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conference is ended early, it will still show up in the meeting list until Exchange or Office 365 meeting is ended or removed.
• The language of the Meeting Center application is based on the phone's language. If you are joining using the Join button in the ribbon, the Web Client will be launched using the display language configured in Outlook client for all supported languages in MiCollab Audio, Web and
Video Conference. For non-supported languages the Web Client will be launched in English as a default language.
• Prevent as much as possible transcoding in the full path between the caller and AWV to avoid complex voice routing and problems with the access code being out pulsed correctly.
Configuration
Soft button (Join button) URL
The Soft button URL must be configured for each phone. The URL is: http://<micollabsrv>/MiCollabMeeting/meetings/$$SIPUSERNAME$$/$$LOCALIP$$
246
MiCollab Meeting Center Configuration
Poll URL
The Poll URL must be configured in the CFG files of the phones. The URL is: http://<micollabsrv>/MiCollabMeeting/activeMeeting/$$SIPUSERNAME$$/$$LOCALIP$$ where,
• micollabsrv
is FQDN or IP address of MiCollab Server (configured by administrator).
•
$$SIPUSERNAME$$
is the DN (automatically replaced by the phone).
•
$$LOCALIP$$
is IP address of the phone (automatically replaced by the phone).
Sample CFG file <AppInfo-6940.cfg>:
• action uri poll: http://<micollabsrv>/MiCollabMeeting/activeMeeting/$$SIPUSERNAME$$/$$LOCALIP$$
• action uri poll interval:
60
Note:
For additional information, see the XML Development Guide available on the Mitel Customer
Documentation website.
DIAL command
Meeting Center is sending the following DIAL command to the 68xx/69xx phone for accessing the
MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conference:
12345%PAUSE%6666666# where,
• 12345 is the dial-in number (can be internal or external).
• %PAUSE% is the pause value to be used before sending the access code with the following default values (PBX dependent):
• ,, for MiVoice Business (For example, 12345,,6666666#)
• #,, for MiVoice Office 400 and MX-ONE (For example, 12345#,,6666666#)
• #,,,, for MiVoice 5000 (For example, 12345#,,,,6666666#)
• 6666666# is the MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conference access code, including a trailing hash to enter the conference.
If different pause values are needed to access the conferences successfully, the default value for
%PAUSE% are overwritten by the system administrator in the properties file of Meeting Center (this may depend on the PBX configuration and so on).
247
