Configuring Ascom Unite Connectivity Manager

Verify that handsets, users, and groups are available in the Ascom system for use with the Vocera Platform.

Login to the Ascom System

Access the Ascom Unite Connectivity Manager.

When an Ascom system is installed for the first time, or does not have the Ascom WLAN Messaging interface configured, the steps described in this section must be completed. (If an Ascom system has already been set up to support Ascom's native WLAN messaging, no additional configuration is needed to support integration with Vocera Platform.)

These steps assume that Ascom handsets have already been added to the Unite Connectivity Manager using the Ascom Device Manager (PDM). If handsets have not been enabled for use with the Unite Connectivity Manager, refer to the User Manual: Device Manager in Unite Connectivity Manager (document TD 92855EN) available for download from the Unite Connectivity Manager Configuration main page.

  1. Navigate to the Unite Connectivity Manager in a web browser.
  2. Log in with Administrator access.

Verify the Handsets

Verify that the Unite Connectivity Manager is aware of all handsets that will be used with Vocera Platform. Access the complete list of Ascom handsets as follows.
  1. Select Configuration.
  2. Expand WLAN Portables from the left hand menu.
  3. Select List All.
  4. Verify all handsets listed under WLAN Portables by Number and IP Address, as shown below. Any handset that should be available to Vocera Platform and is not listed under WLAN Portables must be added in the Ascom Device Manager (PDM).

Verify the Users

Ensure that all required users are listed with their associated handset number in the Unite Connectivity Manager.
  1. Select Configuration in the Unite Connectivity Manager window.
  2. Expand Messaging from the left hand menu.
  3. Select Users.
  4. Verify that users are associated with the correct handset number in the "WLAN Messaging Interface Category" as shown below.

Verify the Groups

Ensure all groups are listed with their associated Call ID number, as shown below.

Any group of Ascom phones which Vocera Platform will send messages to must be set up as a group in UCM. To send to a group of Ascom phones, configure a rule to send to the group's Call ID.

  1. Select Configuration in the Unite Connectivity Manager.
  2. Expand Messaging in the left hand menu.
  3. Select Groups.
