CA50/UCA Client & Server Developer & User Guide
Server Functionality
The UCA server software uses a database to store the data for configuring, maintaining and tracking the
functionality.
IMPORTANT Before running the server, ensure that any firewall(s) between the server component and the CA50
Device Registration
The CA50 client registers with the UCA server and receives the initial commands required to begin the login
process.
Login Process
An associate identifies him/herself to the UCA server by scanning a user identification bar code and is
authenticated by the server for CA50 use within a given role and group.
User Profile Delivery
The server uses the associate's role and group to select a profile template, assigns a phone extension, retrieves
user preferences and then fills in and delivers the completed profile to the CA50.
NOTE A profile configures a CA50 with authorization levels and privilege rights by setting the user identification,
phone configuration, walkie-talkie configuration, UI appearance and navigation, and device configuration
settings.
Voice Communication Setup and Maintenance
Voice (Unicast) Calls
To enable dialing without a keypad, the server maintains a dynamic phone book of extensions that are delivered to
the CA50 upon request. Voice (unicast) calls are placed and transferred from the phone book via menu options.
Walkie-Talkie Communication
When a profile that specifies walkie-talkie channels is downloaded to a CA50, no further UCA server interaction is
required to enable walkie-talkie communication. The phone book is not used when communicating via walkie-talkie
mode.
Delivery of Text and Commands to a Device
Enables text and commands from external and system sources to be routed to CA50s.
Metrics Collection
The server can be configured to collect CA50 usage metrics such as the following: number of walkie-talkie
communications, voice (unicast) calls and their duration. In addition, battery level, signal strength and time in Do
not disturb mode are also collected.
Console for UCA Server Setup and Maintenance
A Web based console is provided for server setup and maintenance.
are appropriately open to allow CA50 devices to communicate with the server and receive
communications from the server.
