Overview

Purpose

This chapter introduces Alcatel-Lucent’s OmniTouch Advanced Communications

Server (ACS).

Contents

This chapter covers these topics.

Alcatel-Lucent’s OmniTouch Advanced Communications

Server (ACS)

Alcatel-Lucent’s OmniTouch Advanced Communications Server (ACS) is a flexible and

secure software platform for telephony and collaboration. It incorporates media server

capabilities for both VoIP (Voice over IP) and PSTN (T1, PRI, or E1) interfaces. In

addition, OmniTouch ACS is an application server for Alcatel-Lucent’s core applications,

providing VoIP and PSTN telephony as well as Instant Messaging (IM) and Presence on a

SIP-based platform. Alcatel-Lucent’s applications built on OmniTouch ACS include:

• Alcatel-Lucent A8628 Multimedia Instant Conferencing Solution (MMIC)

• Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch My Teamwork Enterprise Edition

• Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch Land Mobile Radio Conferencing and Collaboration

• Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch My Teamwork Office Edition

• Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch My Teamwork for Microsoft Office Communicator 2005

• Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch My Teamwork for IBM® Lotus® Sametime®

• Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch My Teamwork for Windows Mobile 6

• Alcatel-Lucent OmniTouch Automated Message Delivery System (AMDS)

These applications all use Alcatel-Lucent’s zero-footprint browser User Interfaces, which

are compatible with a wide variety of browsers. Thus, they may be deployed without

requiring any software installation on client machines. The applications, as well as Alcatel-

Lucent’s administrative software, can also be re-branded for OEM distribution.

Figure 1-1 Applications on the OmniTouch ACS Platform

In addition, OmniTouch ACS applications are extensible. Alcatel-Lucent exposes the

same telephony and collaboration interfaces used to implement the applications to

partners through XML and HTML URLs. You can also communicate directly with

Alcatel-Lucent’s OmniTouch ACS using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), which is

OmniTouch ACS’s native call/session control protocol. Thus, Alcatel-Lucent partners

can provide their own customers (enterprises and service providers) with powerful,

customized and branded zero-footprint conferencing, telephony, and collaboration

applications. Alcatel-Lucent partners have used OmniTouch ACS’s flexible APIs to

develop converged application suites for PBXs, to add telephony/IM into portals, and to

deliver specialized conferencing solutions.

Note: OmniTouch ACS ships as a sealed appliance. You cannot install third-party

software or use the command-line interface.

For more detail on Alcatel-Lucent’s product offerings, see Alcatel-Lucent’s website

www.Alcatel-Lucent.com.

Using this guide

The target audience for this guide is system administrators. It assumes some familiarity

with basic networking and telephony concepts and terms.

This Administration Guide provides a comprehensive reference for OmniTouch ACS

administration. It incorporates the entire set of operations, administration, maintenance,

and provisioning (OAM&P) capabilities for all functionality offered by Alcatel-Lucent.

Configuration options for functionality that you have not purchased are missing when you

use the Administration application.

This manual and the Administration application are comprehensive for all modes of

OmniTouch ACS media serving. Your installation may currently possess only PSTN

trunks, in which case, VoIP connectivity may be configured, but need not be.

This manual also accommodates the different needs of Alcatel-Lucent OEM partners and

Alcatel-Lucent direct customers, in particular, with installation.

If ordered directly from Alcatel-Lucent, OmniTouch ACS is delivered as an appliance,

with software and licenses pre-installed on Intel-based rack-mountable servers. (From a

network architecture point of view, Alcatel-Lucent servers may be deployed behind a

firewall along with the rest of an enterprise’s web services.) Applications purchased by the

customer will be enabled; others will be disabled.

Alternatively, OEM partners who are looking to market large quantities of Alcatel-Lucent

product may want to ship Alcatel-Lucent Communications servers on hardware platforms

of their choice, particularly for VoIP-only product offerings. These partners perform

Alcatel-Lucent software and license installation themselves. Partners offer specific

configurations of applications and branding; Alcatel-Lucent supports this with a certain

degree of programmatic pre-configuration and branding. Customization beyond that

offered by Alcatel-Lucent’s branding tools must be arranged within the context of the

partner’s business relationship.

This Guide offers no guidance on managing the OmniTouch ACS’s operating

environment – for example, upgrading the Operating System. The OmniTouch ACS

software (Linux, server software, and applications) is a fully integrated system. Although

the system resides on off-the-shelf hardware, once the OmniTouch ACS software is

installed, the system is dedicated to OmniTouch ACS. You cannot install other

applications as co-resident servers. OmniTouch ACS provides its own management

facilities such as backup/restore and SNMP alerts. To maintain the integrity of the system

and its telephony performance, customer access to the OmniTouch ACS underlying

operating environment is not allowed.

This document is a reference guide to the functions provided in Alcatel-Lucent’s extensive

System Administration application, with supporting material in Appendices.
