Provisioning & Configuration
All provisioning activity takes place on the Business Zone ordering portal unless explicitly stated. All
configuration activity takes place on the Configuration Portal (Business Portal) unless explicitly stated.
Provisioning
The UC Office application is an Add-On that is provided to a User already on the platform and
assigned to Fixed or Mobile User licenses.
When creating a User in Business Zone, be sure to tick one of the UC Office Add-Ons and then
complete the order. If this is not done on the initial Provide, then a Modify order can be placed to add
this at a later date. If the Mobile User pack is ordered, this will as standard include the UC
Office Smartphone application, otherwise this is included in the UC Team add-on pack.
Once one of these license packs has been ordered from the Business Zones Ordering portal, the
application download will appear in the Application section of the Business Portal as per the image
below.
13 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
Download & Installation Instructions
Once you have provisioned the Add-On and the User has received their welcome email, they can
now download the application from the App Store or Google play Store.
14 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
Configuration
The Welcome Email sent to End Users will guide them to navigate to the Business Portal to downloa d
the application and obtain their Username. Please note this Username is the same for all
Applications, but is different to the Business Portal credentials. The username can be seen in the
Applications tab as shown below:
The password for all applications is not sent to the User and needs to be set in the Business Portal
by navigating to My Account,
Select Password to Change box, then click on Application, enter password and then select Save.
15 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
Start-up and Login
To start UC Office, start it as you would any other app. Tap the UC Office icon to launch the
application.
Once the application has launched, UC Office presents you with the login screen where you need to
provide your user account information. Enter your username and password into the appropriate
boxes and click Sign In to start using UC Office.
16 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
IM and Presence Configuration (UC Business & Team Only)
The User’s IM & Presence feature is configured automatically, including the IM&P ID. The IM&P ID
takes the form <username>@ucoffice.eu where <username> is typically the Username provisioned
for the User in the Business Portal, but is sometimes appended with a number to ensure that the ID
is unique e.g. [email protected]
Users that have the UC Business or UC Team Add-On can use the UC Office applications (Smart
Phone Edition requires UC Team) for Instant Messaging and Presence. Users can also add contacts
and make them IM & Presence ‘Buddies’ within their own Company just by searching and adding the
contacts. An example of a User searching and adding a Contact within their company:
Contacts outside of the Company can be added manually and if the contact outside the Company is
also using the WHC IM and Presence service then they can add the contact’s IM & Presence ID to
use this service.

Conferencing Bridge Telephone Number (UC Team Only)
My Room Audio Conferencing 8 provides Personal Audio Conferences for up to 8 attendees per
conference. My Room Audio Conferencing requires a My Room Bridge to be added at the Site level.
Please note if you are creating Users with UC Team we recommend you do either of the following
first, to ensure the My Room Bridge Number is included in the initial Welcome Email:
1. Create Company, Add Numbers, Create Site, submit order (before creating Users), then
go to the Business Portal and allocate a number to the My Room Bridge. You can then
go back to Business Zone and use the Add option create the User orders.
2. Create Company, Add Numbers, Create Site, Create all Users, except UC Team Users,
submit order, then go to the Business Portal and allocate a number to the My Room
Bridge. You can then go back to Business Zone and use the Add option to create the
new UC Team Users.
3. Create Company, Add Numbers, Create Site, Create all Users, but don’t assign UC Team
Add-On, submit order, then go to the Business Portal and allocate a number to the My
18 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
Room Bridge. You can then go back to Business Zone, locate the Users and use the
Modify option to add UC Team, which will then generate a Welcome Email.
If any of the options above are not used, and the My Room Bridge Number is added at a later date,
then you will need to directly inform the User of the Bridge Number.
To create a My Room Bridge Number, login into the Business Portal with an administrator account
and:
Using the “Live Search” facility type in the name of the site you wish to add/amend
Use the “Select Button” to select the desired site from the list shown.
From the sidebar select Features
Scroll down to Portals & Bridges and select Configure My Room Bridge
Enter a Name, CLI First and Last Name, select a Telephone Number to apply and enter
an Extension Number for the My Room Bridge.
19 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
Adding My Room Bridge credentials to the Desktop Application
Users with the UC Team Add-On can enter their My Room Audio Conferencing and Web
Collaboration details into the UC Office desktop application. This enables Desktop Sharing, My Room
Audio Conferencing and Web Collaboration portal integration within the application. The User’s My
Room Audio Conferencing and Web Collaboration credentials may be included in their End User
welcome or modification emails. If the My Room Bridge Number has not been created prior to
the User being set-up with the UC team add-on, then the initial Welcome Email will not contain
this data.
When signed in to UC Office Desktop Users can then click the Menu icon and select
Preferences and enter the details in the Credentials tab as follows:
20 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
The default settings for the conference can be changed from the user’s Business Portal under “My
Room” in their Feature Settings. The user can also see their conference ID and PIN from this page.
If the user conference does not exist (meaning the bridge does not exist), the user is informed to
contact the system administrator.
For security reasons, only users can reset the PINs associated to his conference. This is achieved
by deleting and re-adding the conference (options are transferred to the new conference
automatically).
Users that have the UC Team Add-On can use the My Room Audio Conferencing features within UC
Office for Desktop and/or conduct personal Audio Conferences with up to 8 attendees using any
phones. Contacts outside of the Company can attend Audio Conferences by being sent the access
details within an email invitation.
Web Collaboration Configuration (UC Team Only)
My Room Web Collaboration UC is a feature that provides desktop sharing tools within UC Office for
Desktop and online Web Collaboration via the Web Collaboration Portal. A default 6 digit web
collaboration password is generated and included in the User’s welcome or modification email. The
user should then go to the My Room page to change it. Users simply enter their WHC application
username and the password into UC Office for Desktop and/or the Web Collaboration Portal to start
Desktop Sharing and conducting personal Web Collaboration meetings.
21 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
Users that have the UC Team Add-On can use the Desktop Sharing feature within UC Office for
Desktop and/or conduct personal Web Collaboration meetings using the Web Collaboration Portal for

Main Tabs
When you start UC Office for the first time, your Contacts list is empty. You use the search field to find
people and add them to your Contacts list. Contacts can also be added manually by tapping the Add ‘+’
button.
The main view contains a number of tabs that present information about the contacts and
communications options located on the top bar:
Contacts
Dial Pad
Chat
History
My Room
NOTE: Settings are available from the iPhone menu key or action bar.
Icon Description
Contacts – View your contacts from a Buddies list, or a local or
company directory.
Call – Make Calls.
Chat – View chat history.
History – View incoming,
outgoing, and missed calls.
My Room – Join your personal room.
25 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
Contacts
The Contacts list in the Contacts tab can contain different types of contacts as follows:
Presence-enabled contacts
Non-presence-enabled contacts
Any contact can be marked as a favorite, by viewing the Contact Details and tapping the star icon.
The contact will then appear at the top of the Contacts list in the Favorites section.
Presence-enabled contacts are users with an Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP)
address. Non-presence-enabled contacts can be phone or conference numbers.
Contacts can also be organized in Groups.
The Contacts tab contains:
UC-One Contacts
All
Online
Contact Directories
Local Address Book
Directory
Directory provides the company directory contacts. The Local contact list provides the contacts from
the local phone book.
Add Contact
When you sign in for the first time, there are no contacts on your Contacts list. Add a new presence-
enable contact at any time by selecting the option Add Contact from the plus ‘+’ icon in the status bar.
Another way to add new contacts is to use the directory search option from the Contacts tab.
In the Add Contact screen, enter the contact’s information and then select Done. By default, your
presence information is always shared with a new contact if an XMPP address is provided.
If you receive a buddy request, you can decline or accept it. If you decline the buddy request, y ou
can always share your presence information later by selecting Subscribe from the buddy contact card.
Note that the contact must accept your subscription request for you to establish the presence
relationship successfully.
A conference number can be saved by adding a new contact, as above, and including the Dial-in
Number and Conference ID in the relevant fields. This can then act as a conference contact, to avoid
having to remember a PIN code and a conference number, for example, for a recurring conference.
Add a local contact by selecting the Add Local Contact option using the plus icon in the status bar.
The Add Local Contact option opens the native Address Book for adding a new contact in the local
phone book.
26 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
Edit
Tap a contact from the Contacts list to open a contact card. This is the same for presence-enable
and non-presence-enabled contacts.
The Edit button opens the Contact Information dialog box where you can add, edit or remove
information. This works for both presence-enabled and non-presence-enabled contacts.
Select Unsubscribe to remove the presence relationship between you and that contact. This
means you do not see the contact’s presence information and your contact does not see
yours.
Select Subscribe to re-establish a presence relationship. An unsubscribed contact remains on
the Contacts list and is always shown as “offline”.
Select Remove to remove the contact from your Contacts list.
27 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
When you select a Contact you are presented with their information and options to call them, instant
message them, etc.
Contacts can be marked as a favorite and they will then appear at the top of the contact list in the
favorites section.
Filters
There are four contact filters available from the Contacts tab:
All – Shows all presence-enabled and non-presence-enabled contacts.
Online – Shows only the presence-enabled contacts that are currently online.
Local Address Book – Shows the contacts from your local phone book.
Directory – Shows the contacts from a company directory (which requires a search).
28 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
Presence (UC Business & Team only)
For each contact to which you have subscribed, you can see their presence. Similarly, your contacts can
see your presence on their Contacts list.
Presence means that your friends are able to see whether you are available, for example, “I’m available”
or “I’m busy”.
You can manually set your own presence by tapping on the Presence icon from the status bar in all
tabs view. Tapping the Presence icon opens the My status screen where you can change your avatar,
personal message, and presence status.
Your avatar is the picture that represents you in your friends’ Contacts list and in chat screens.
Tapping on an avatar opens a dialog with options to select an existing image,
to take a new one with your phone camera, or to clear your avatar.
You can enter a status message in the area next to the avatar. This status text is shown in your
friends’ Contacts list.
Icon What it means
The green presence icon indicates that
the user is online and ready for communication.
The yellow presence icon indicates that the user is online on their UC Office Desktop client, but has been idle or
aw ay from their computer for more than ten minutes.
The red presence icon indicates that the user is busy and does not w ant to be
disturbed.
The grey presence state icon indicates that the user is off line and the only available contact method is calling or
leaving a chat message.
The question mark indicates that a subscription is pending and the contact
has not yet approved sharing their presence.
This icon indicates that the contact is
busy on a call. This is an automated presence status.
This icon indicates that the contact is busy in a meeting. This is an automated presence status. The Busy – In Call status overrides the Busy – In Meeting
status so this one is only seen if there is a meeting but no call.
29 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
If you see the error message, “Chat Unavailable”, under any tab, it means that the XMPP connectivity
has been lost for chat and presence; however, you can still make calls. In this case, you should
contact your service provider. The presence update is only triggered by appointments and meetings
that are either accepted by the user or made by them. Note that all-day meetings do not trigger a
presence change to Busy – In Meeting.
30 www.btwholesale.com
UC Office – Smartphone Application User Guide (iPhone & Android)
Instant Messaging (UC Business & Team only)
Chat tab
The Chat tab shows the list of recent chats since the last login. If User A chats with User B multiple
times, their discussions appear as one item in the list.
Tapping the name from the Chat list opens the Chat view (IM view) in the right pane where new
messages can be typed. Old messages are also shown.
New incoming messages are indicated with a notification badge to the right of the name. The icon
remains next to the name until the message is read.
Chats are listed so that the newest one is always at the top. Chats are not in alphabetical order and
are always listed with the most recent first.
Clicking the menu button in the navigation bar displays the Launch My Room and Start Group Chat

devices for the same user, it only shows one request to the user.
Removing a contact from a Contacts list in one device is recognized in another client,
and the Contacts list is updated (that is, the contact is removed) in the other client as well.

Troubleshooting
Common Q&A
Why can’t I change my avatar?
Double-clicking the avatar should open a file explorer view to select a file. If your XMPP connection
is lost, changing the avatar does not succeed. A lost XMPP connection is indicated in the main window
top notification area.
My contacts are all offline and my client’s status bar says “XMPP unavailable”.
What does this mean?
It means that the XMPP connectivity has been lost for chat, as well as for presence; however, you
can still make calls. You should contact your service provider if this persists.
Why am I offline?
If you have selected “Offline” status you will be shown as offline to others. Another possibility is that
you may have lost your internet connection, in this case the client does not log out, but enters an
offline mode where contact list is available but communication is not possible.
Why can’t I have more video resolutions available?
You can choose your video resolution from Preferences and the Video tab. Your selection is used by
default for future video calls. The available resolutions are automatically presented based on y our
camera.
Why can’t I change my username and password?
Username and password editing is not supported in the client. To edit your username or password,
access the Business Portal or contact your service provider.
In the preferences, the client supports changing only LDAP and desktop share credentials.
Why does my all day calendar entry not trigger “Busy – In Meeting” presence status?
All day meetings do not trigger a presence change to “Busy - In Meeting”.
To trigger the presence update, the meeting has to be self-generated or accepted (tentative or fully
accepted). The presence update is only triggered by appointments and meetings that are either
accepted by the user or made by them.
Why aren’t all my group chat messages saved?
Only the newest chat room messages are stored on the server.

Why aren’t all my chat messages available in my other devices?
All 1-1 chat messages are saved, but only locally, so they will not necessarily be available in your
other devices. Incoming messages are sent to all devices but the ones that you send are only stored
in the device which you are using to send the message.
I cannot login to UC office on my smartphone device?
UC Office requires a User to enter the correct Username and Password and have a current UC Team
Add-On applied. If the Username and/or Password are incorrect or the User does not have the
required Add-On then an appropriate error message will be displayed at the login process. If you
are sure that the provisioning, login and licensing is correct then please check network connectivity,
and the Requirements section of this document including Network and Firewall Requirements.
