Overview
The UCentric ZT (Zero Touch) interface is an SPA (Single Page Application) that provides a “Zero Touch” approach to both auditing and provisioning of voice phone systems.

Using UCentric ZT

Logging in uses the standard UCentric login credentials, (SSO will be later supported). Each User Login defines the branding and capabilities associated with the user’s organisation(s). This allows us to limit what types of systems can be audited or provisioned to. Once logged in, there are just two options: - “Auditing” or “Provisioning”.
...
Note, depending on the login profile options selected in the main web interface, only “Auditing” may be shown.

|
To audit any (compatible) PABX/UC platform, you simply drop the standard PABX/UC vendor backup on the page. The system will analyse the file and determine the PABX/UC platform automatically. For info on what PABXs are supported please refer to the ‘UCentric Voice Audit and Migration Capabilities’ document.
...
This will be either “Email” or “Direct Download”
| Note |

Note: When dropping a file onto the portal, ensure that it is not open in another application (e.g. Excel) otherwise it may not upload. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If using the direct download option, you will see a window similar to the one below. Here you can choose a name for the site or PBX being audited and may also have an additional field for sales order, customer reference or other data which is customisable in the login profile.
...
The report downloads the same files (in real-time) as would be delivered by email, including any branding or output format that has been selected within the login profile.

|---|---|---|---|---|
If using the “Email” option within the login profile, you will see a window similar to the one below. Here you can choose a name for the site or PBX being audited as well as the email address to send the reports to.
...
Reports should be sent to the previously inserted email address(es) within an hour. You will receive two separate Emails, one containing a HLD (High Level Document) and another containing an LLD (Bulk Loader/Migration plan). These documents will be branded based on the logged-in user’s profile.

To provision, simply click on the Provisioning tab, select the target vendor and drop a standard LLD Excel Spreadsheet onto the form.
...
Permission is also required from the vendor for some solutions therefore please contact us for further information and we can assist.

NOTE: When dropping the Excel LLD file onto the portal, ensure that you do not have it open in Excel otherwise it will not upload. |

Data blending is the process of adding additional files to a PBX audit to augment it and add information from other systems such as Active Directory, Voicemail or call data (CDR).
...
The format for each supported filetype is shown in the sections below, please ensure “Default Field Mappings” match the column names in your csv files.
Active Directory
Active directory exports are used to add useful details such as UPN, display name, department and SIP Address to an LLD. This is particularly important when moving from legacy voice to hosted platforms such as MS Teams as all users will need an UPN for example.

CDR
For Cisco CDR blending, please refer to https://mittech.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MKB/pages/35323905/UCentric+ZT+-+User+Manual#Adding-CDR-to-Cisco-BATs-audit
For all other CDR either from third party systems such as call loggers or accounting systems, please contact us directly to discuss the best approach.
Devices
DDI | This is generated by us/you on a per-customer basis | EXTNPATTERN | This is used to bulk-map DDI and override locations if needed. In this example, any extension in the form 420xxx will be given an appropriate line1DDI number, and the regionName will be overrriden to "Amsterdam" - The RegionId of -1 means "match all locations to find this number in the list" The example 567x will only be overridden if the existing location (regionID /regionName ) matches. Note: The number of underscores must be the same in the suffix of the 1st two columns for this to work |

Vendor Specific Blending
Some vendors have their own formats for files that can be extracted when collecting a backup from a PBX, guides for blending these specific files are shown in this section.
Adding CDR to Cisco BATs audit
CDR files can also be added to the backup that is being imported into UCentric. The guide below explains how to do this for Cisco CUCM BATS files and CDR extracts.
https://mittech.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MKB/pages/35323905#Adding-CDR-to-Cisco-BATs-audit
Ensure that the CDR file (NOT CMR) is in CSV format and the filename suffix is .cdr.txt
...
Use the ZIP file instead of the tar/tgz for the audit following the https://mittech.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MKB/pages/35323905/UCentric+ZT+-+User+Manual#Auditing35323905#Auditing section of this guide to process the audit and generate reports. Any HLD or LLD you generate will now include the CDR that you processed in this audit.
Overiding settings for special edge-cases
For some decoders (e.g. Cisco CUCM) there are specific edge-case situations that are catered for with options that appear in the Advanced Options.
These options only appear if applicable.
Cisco CUCM
The two options available for Cisco CUCM/HCS are “Allow Duplicate DNs” and “Check End-Users first”
Allow Duplicate DNs: Cisco allows the same DN (Directory Number) to appear on multiple devices and profiles. Generally UCentric will ignore repeated devices or profiles and only allow one of each. This option allows multiples to appear. They will however be seperated and placed on the “Duplicates” tab of the LLD spreadsheet.
Check End-Users first: The normal order of scanning is devices, profiles, end-users, with the creation of a DN as a device / profile actioned in this order. The end-users is then applied to the list (device profiles first). Selecting this option forces the logic to end-users, devices, profiles instead.
