Introduction
Formerly known as Audio and Web Conferencing (AWC), Mitel
®
Collaboration Advanced (MCA)
provides an integrated application to create audio and Web conferences using corporate
directories and personal address books from Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
and Lotus Notes
®
. MCA is
packaged on the Mitel Applications Suite (MAS) server, which is linked by an Ethernet
connection to the IP network. A link on the MAS server provides access to a Web-based
administrator interface for configuring MCA, scheduling conferences, viewing conference calls,
and administering collaboration controls. You can access all interfaces through either HTTP or
HTTPS.
Authorization and authentication allows only valid users to access services. To meet the highest
security requirements, MCA uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption for secured
messages, server-side digital certificates, and Comprehensive Lightweight Application Security
(CAST) 128-bit encryption for data transmission during Web conferences. MCA provides:
• Instant, flexible calling: Initiate an instantaneous call or to create a conference call from
a two-party call. A conference call can also be pre-scheduled.
• Complete call control and management: Add and drop other call participants as well as
mute, hold, or transfer the call directly from the desktop. A call detail record (CDR) provides
a log of all calls. The CDR includes the dates and times of all calls call duration of all calls
for billing purposes.
• Cost-effective conferencing: Delivers the most cost-effective group calling, with ultimate
flexibility to customize solutions to best meet individual needs.
• Web-based collaboration tools: Facilitate online meetings, training, and presentations
with features designed for sharing your desktop or individual applications. Enhance con-
ferences to increase participation and understanding by using interactive markup tools,
user polling, and video-conferencing. Use the file transfer utility to immediately share the
outcome of online collaborative sessions by transmitting updated files and presentations
to conference participants.
• Conference archiving: Create recordings of conference calls and collaborative sessions
for playback later.
