Mitel Unified Communicator Advanced Mobile for Android

[zewam]

Hey!

Anyone tried this new app (UCA for Android)?

What are the requirements on UC server side?
What ports need to be open?

Hey,

I might have found something in "UC Advanced 4.0 Engineering Guidelines" on page 23 :

I'll let you know if that solves my problem...

You don't want to open ports unless your UCA server is directly exposed or in network edge which would be weird.

You should have an MBG that's doing Web Proxy for our UCA Android/Blackberry devices.

  What are the opinions on this product.  IMHO Cisco has been slow on getting full functionality to the Android/Iphone platform and wondered what this looks like....

I haven't had a huge amount of time to play with this app, but I just setup a demo for one of our Sales People to demo this for a customer.  It worked really well and was actually pretty useful and neat tool.

The Sales Person was really excited about it after the demo, saying that the customer was very responsive to the Android app.

(Sorry for bumping such an old thread)

How should one configure the web proxy in order to get the full UCA Android experience?

Thanks.

Do you have MBG? If so there is a list of ports that need to be opened to allow UCA connectivity. That list may be in the UCA docs though, can't remember. If you don't have them I am sure one of us could look them up pretty quickly and let you know

Yeah, we have MBG.
I'm not really sure where to look for that list of ports, would love some help here.

Thanks!

Try this.

Try this.

Thanks.

Looks like 36008 is the port I'm interested in - I confirmed this by looking at the logs of our firewall, the Android app is definitely trying to get real-time notifications on that port (also, the port is mentioned in the app's settings).

So I tried forwarding the port on the MBG to the MAS on our LAN. Didn't help.
Oh, and our firewall doesn't block traffic on that port either.

Is there something else in the MBG I need to enable in order to make real-time notifications (like the chat) work on my Android device? Or some other setting(s) I need to tweak?

Thanks!

You may already have this configured but look at the Remote Proxy Services and make sure UCA support is enabled.
