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.

The interface has been deliberately simplified in order to allow it’s use throughout an organisation without any prior training or incumbent knowledge of PABX’s or UC platforms.

Using UCentric ZT

Logging In

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.

Auditing

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.

Once you have dropped in the file you wish to Audit select the PABX type (depending on the audit type this may be automatically detected/selected for you). You will also be given options that relate to the login profile that is set.

This will be either “Email” or “Direct Download”

Direct Download

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.

Click “Create migration plan” to begin the audit.

You can also blend additional files at this point such as CDR, Voicemail DDI ranges, and Active Directory extracts. This will include information for this against users/devices in the Migration Plan/LLD.

Please refer to the Data Blending section for more information and guides on carrying this out.

The audit window will show you the processing of data which will usually take less than a minute but may take up to 5

Once complete you can select the HLD or LLD reports to download. The report templates set by default or the LLD formats you have available will be chosen by the settings in the login profile.

Multiple LLD templates are available and can be selected if they are set 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.

Email

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.

Click “Create migration plan” to begin the audit.

You can also blend additional files at this point such as CDR, Voicemail DDI ranges, and Active Directory extracts. This will include information for this against users/devices in the Migration Plan/LLD.

Please refer to the Data Blending section for more information and guides on carrying this out.

When using the email option, you will see a confirmation of the audit being run as shown below. You will not see the live processing status like when using the Direct Download option

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.

Provisioning

To provision, simply click on the Provisioning tab, select the target vendor and drop a standard LLD Excel Spreadsheet onto the form.

The options available will change depending on the target vendor. For example, WebEx by Cisco/WebEx Calling provisioning requires you to authenticate with WebEx prior to the provision.

Permission is also required from the vendor for some solutions therefore please contact us for further information and we can assist.
