The Invitation Email page contains an email template that can be used to send users all the information they need to get Phone Manager mobile up and running. Once the email template has been altered as required, invitation emails can be send from the Mobile Clients page of the MCS website.

 

Dynamic Content Placeholders

The email template contains some dynamic content that will be populated by the system before sending to each user:

• @CERTURL -> This will be replaced by a URL to download the SSL certificate from the MCS
• @USERNAME -> this will be replaced by the user's full name
• @SERVER_IP_ADDRESS -> This will be replaced by the MCS's IP Address/Hostname from Client Locations
• @SERVER_REMOTE_IP_ADDRESS -> This will be replaced by the MCS's Remote IP Address/Hostname from Client Locations
• @USERLOGIN -> This will be replaced with the user's personal login name

It is important to leave all the placeholders for the dynamic content in the email template so the email is personalized for each user.

 

Administration Contact

A section of the email template has been reserved to enter the email address and/or contact details for an administrator who can help the end-user if they have problems. This should be manually configured before sending the invitation email to users.

 

Certificates

The MCS SSL certificate must be installed by iOS users before the Phone Manager Mobile application can connect back to the MCS. To try and simplify this process the email template includes a URL to the certificate and can attach the certificate to the email. 

Unless port TCP 80 has been externally forwarded to the MCS server then the certificate URL will only work if the user is on the same network as the MCS server.
