This blade supports the simplified deployment of MiCollab for Mobile Client. 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.
The User Tab elements in the “MiCollab Client Deployment” application should NOT be used to create or manage MiCollab Release 7.0 or later clients.
You use the MiCollab Client Deployment service to configure the deployment parameters, change the default deployment profile, or to run the diagnostics. After you have configured the MiCollab Client Deployment service when you create a user on the communication platform, the service automatically deploys the user's MiCollab for Mobile Client. The following is a summary of the behavior for each platform:
MiVoice Business (Integrated Mode)
You create and modify users from the Users and Services application. Only phones types “UC Endpoint” and “External Hot Desk” can be deployed. Whenever you select a deployment profile in the Users and Services application, the user gets deployed automatically. To send out a Deployment email again, Deploy the user from the Users and Services application.
MiVoice Business (Collocated Mode)
You create and modify users from the MiCollab Client Service. After a user is created, it is automatically added to the deployment and an email is send out. An email address must be configured for the user. You re-send a Deployment email from the “MiCollab Client Deployment” Users Tab.
If existing users (Pre-MiCollab Release 7.0 ) need to be deployed, they can be added using the Users > Import Users function. Note that this is an advanced task that should be performed by an experienced administrator.
MiVoice MX-ONE
You create and modify users in the Users > User > Add page of the MiVoice MX-ONE Provisioning Manager. Users are assigned with an “MiCollab role”. The Role is mapped on the MiCollab Server to the User Template, which determines the Deployment Profile. The users are then deployed automatically. There is no need to import users.
MiVoice 5000
You create and modify users in the GUI Telephony service > Subscribers > Subscriptions > Characteristics page of the MiVoice 5000 Provisioning Manager. Users are assigned with an “MiCollab role”. The Role is mapped on the MiCollab Server to the User Template, which determines the Deployment Profile. The users are then deployed automatically. There is no need to import users.
MiVoice Office 400
You create users in the Users > User list > New page of the MiVoice Office 400 Web Admin (Expert mode). Users are assigned with an “MiCollab role”. The Role is mapped on the MiCollab Server to the User Template, which determines the Deployment Profile. The users are then deployed automatically. There is no need to import users.
