The goal of this release of uOne Corporate Edition is to provide:
The following section describes the primary components of uOne with the help of Figure 2-1.
The telephony server communicates with CallManager and handles all the voice messaging session traffic on behalf of applications.
The application controller manages multiple instances of uOne. Every time a call is made, an application instance is handed the control by uTel. After the user hangs up, a new instance is started by the uPilot.
This application is responsible for turning the lights on. Whenever a message is left for a user, this application interacts with uTel to turn the light on for the user. When the user listens to all the messages, uOne turns the light off.
 |
Note uOne will turn off the MWI light after the user listens to all messages. |
There are two web based HTTP administration tools, namely, the uPower/Admin (previously known as Unified Messaging Systems Administration or UMSA) tool and the uPower/Personal tool for Personal Message Administration.
uPower/Admin is a web-based tool that simplifies systems administration tasks. It is designed to hide the complexities of adding information to the Directory Server and Messaging Server.
uPower/Personal is a web-based tool that can be used by users to change the personal settings and modify the profile in the Directory Server. Whenever new users are created, they are given default values for all the parameters. Any changes must be administered by the users via uPower/Personal or over the telephone through User Services.
The Unified Messaging application contains the logic to interact with uTel, directory, and messaging servers.
The schema files necessary for Directory Server to work with uOne are included in this component.
The LDAP Directory Server stores the uOne User profile data. uOne uses an extension of the LIPS LDAP Object Class. The current version of uOne supports the Netscape Directory Server.
The IMAP Messaging Server stores uOne user messages, recorded greetings, and distribution list names.
CallManager is a business telephone PBX that uses IP (Internet Protocol) to transmit sound.
With the introduction of the Corporate Edition, the uOne platform of services is structured on a separate system from CallManager. This dual-box platform also prepares both CallManager and uOne for better performance and preparation for future software enhancements. The following diagram shows the different scenarios for Entry and Corporate editions.
| Entry Scenario 100 users/4 to 8 ports | Corporate Scenario 500 users/20 ports | |
CallManager 2.4 uOne 4.1E Entry Edition LDAP IMAP |
| CallManager 2.4 |
| uOne 4.1E Corporate LDAP IMAP | |

The first scenario represents the uOne Entry edition utilizing the single-box platform for unified messaging. The uOne Entry platform allows the uOne components to reside on the same system as CallManager 2.4. This provided a single box solution for an IP-based messaging system, allowing four to eight uOne sessions on an NT server, along with CallManager, Directory Server and Messaging Server. This platform was designed to work with the MCS-7830 system, and is designated as the Entry Scenario.
In the Corporate Scenario, the uOne Corporate platform is configured to run the uOne components on a separate system from CallManager. This dual-box platform utilizes a MCS-7835 system for uOne, allowing the number of sessions to increase to 20, and the ability to support up to 500 users. Because the uOne Corporate edition automatically configures the MCS-7835 system to use the maximum of 20 ports, no additional purchases should be made to upgrade the system for additional sessions.
