1 Introduction Aastra Mobile Client (AMC) solution is designed to work with all Aastra communications platforms. The Aastra Mobile Client 3 version (AMC 3) requires the AMC Controller (AMCC). The AMC Controller connects the AMC 3 to the Aastra communications platforms via SIP user interface.
solution also supports corporate phonebook access over LDAP and Instant Message & Presence Federation over XMPP, if the company has set up a compatible server (IM requires a 3rd Party XMPPServer – e.g. “OpenFire”). AMC 3 Figure 1: AMC Controller Solution The AMC 3 solution consists of the following parts: • • • The AMCC is the server for the mobile integration. It permits dual mode handover and Unified Communications features like Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) capabilities for enterprise users.
3 AMC Controller 2.0 This section describes the AMC Controller, its components and requirements. 3.1 Architecture The AMCC overview architecture is described in picture 2. Figure 2: AMCC Architecture The AMCC consists of the following: • • 3.2 The AMCC server engine which is the core application responsible for providing some of the telephony related features like the seamless handover between 3G and WLAN, AMCC directory search, LCR, Instant Messaging (IM) and presence.
automated handover could be caused by mobile operating system and cause manual accepting of call on the device. 3.3 AMCC 2.0 Server Requirements WLAN The WLAN should have the key performance indicators such as signal strength and low voice latency level to support Voice over IP communications. The AMCC communicates over the IP and MAC layer with the AMC dual mode application. Please note that not every WLAN network offers the high quality of service which is required for VoIP.
AMC out-of-call-service • • • • • • • Voice mail Call forward to any extension Message waiting indication Time group Call protect Diversion services: meeting, lunch, vacation...
• • • Corporate directory search via LDAP IM & Presence via XMPP (external server required) Encrypted VoIP 7 Deployment 7.1 Installation and Configuration Note: The AMCC has to be installed by trained and authorized system personnel in collaboration with local network administrator. The AMCC software is delivered pre-installed on the AMCC. The latest software version is provided via the AMC Portal.
Additional Features 9.1 High Availability 9.1.1 Linux HA-based Failover AMCC supports Linux HA-based failover. There are two dual mode servers running the high availability application to act as a hot standby of each other. One of the servers providing dual mode service is called the primary server and the other one acting as its standby is called the backup server. The backup server is continuously sensing the status of the primary server ensuring its availability.
9.2.1 AMC Controller Security Options 9.2.1.1 Password On initial start up the administrator is forced to change the default password to a new password that has to fulfil certain complexity requirements in order to be accepted. 9.2.1.2 Direct Connection The AMC Controller provides a pre configured firewall and runs on a hardened Linux operating system (OS). This allows to connect it directly to the internet without risk exposure of your internal network.
9.3 AMCC Unified Communication Functions With the AMCC UC functions the configured user accounts can get an HTTPS connection to the AMC Controller via their AMC. There are many different usage scenarios for this HTTPS connection. One of them is to enable users to access the complete company branch directory or the address book of just one department.. 9.3.
