Server Connection

The Server Connection settings are the most important of the application. They tell the application how to communicate with the Mitel Communication Service which is essential to successful operation of the application.

Server

This should be the IP Address or hostname of the server running the MCS application on the internal corporate network.

When operating in an Active Directory environment the Server setting should be set to the DNS name of the server.

Remote Server

This is the IP Address or DNS name for accessing the server remotely when outside the corporate network. This setting will populate automatically once a successful connection to the MCS has been made on the corporate network.

The hostname/IP address configured here must match the certificate that is being used on the server.

Username

This should be configured as the username associated with your user account on the MCS. If connecting with your domain credentials then please enter the username in the following format: {DOMAINNAME}\{Username}

Password

This should be configured as the password associated with your user account on the MCS.

SSL Certificates

Phone Manager Mobile connects to the MCS on a secure connection and requires a certificate in order to communicate. If the MCS server has not been configured with CA based certificate then a self-signed certificate must be downloaded from the MCS while on the corporate network.

To install the certificate click on the orange link and then follow the instructions for you particular mobile phone’s operating system:

On the iPhone, Navigate to 'Settings -> General -> about'. At the bottom of this list is an entry labeled 'Certificate Trust Settings'. In this section there are toggle controls for the installed certificates. Locate the certificate for the MCS server and enable it.
