systems.

It consists of the following three coordinated components:

myPortal entry Web Services V2, the core software component for
connecting to the respective communication system,

myPortal entry Widget V3, an application for stationary PC workstations,

myPortal web, the application for Smartphones of mobile employees, and

myPortal for OpenStage, the application for the stationary PC workplace.

For details on which mobile networks can be used, see Performance


Comparisons.

Maintenance

4 Maintenance
A number of integrated tools are available to you within the
myPortal entry Web Services for maintenance and troubleshooting.

INFO: Whenever any changes are made to the configuration of


myPortal entry or the configured subscribers or licenses, a restart
of myPortal entry is recommended. The restart enforces
resynchronization with the system.
Within the myPortal entry Web Services Administration, you will find appropriate
functions under the Administration menu to perform typical maintenance tasks
such as the following:

Get Log Files can be used to retrieve and display the log files of the Web
Services.

Create Backup can be used to back up the entire database of the


myPortal entry Web Services. This includes, among other things, all the user
data as well as the IP addresses and port numbers.

The database can also be copied back (i.e., restored) from an earlier backup
file with Restore Backup. In such cases, after the database has been
restored correctly, an automatic restart of the myPortal entry Web Services
occurs.

The function Restore factory settings for Web Services replaces the
current database with the factory default database. Consequently, the Login
and Password details for the administrator are also reset to their default
values.

Update the Web Services software enables you to keep the Web Services
software up-to-date with the current version.

The status display can be used for troubleshooting: the system displays
information on the status of important connections and software components on
the Status page and indicates whether or not they are operating correctly.
The Application Server component establishes the connection to the
communication system and the database and is responsible for maintaining the
local data of the users/clients.

Mobility Entry Users

The application server tries to automatically recover from dropped connections to


the communication system, for example. The corresponding entries for this can
be found in the log files.
The Restart button can be used to resynchronize the application server with the
communication system.
This is always required whenever Mobility users or Mobility licenses are added,
removed or changed in the communication system.
The myPortal entry Web Services Assistant operates the administration portal of
the myPortal entry Web Services.
The myPortal entry Web Services Provider presents the myPortal web
application in a browser.
INFO: The LAS can be restarted via Administration > Status >
Application Server. The entire Plug Computer can be rebooted
via Plug Computer > Maintenance > Reboot.
The Read log files item on the maintenance page can be used to copy the log
files in zipped format to any PC or data volume available on the customer
network.
The ZIP file contains trace and log files that can serve as a starting point for
diagnostics when the status page shows that a particular connection cannot be
established.
The active client sessions of selected users can be displayed under the User
Management. It shows which client has logged in from which IP address.

5.3 Configuring Mobility


Configuration example for "Mobility Entry":

The user is a virtual station, which represents a Smartphone.

The mobile station number is the phone number of the mobile subscriber.

The Web Feature ID defines how the subscriber should log in at the myPortal
web client and the myPortal entry widget. Normally, the Basic MULAP
configured earlier must be specified here. If you have only a Smartphone and
no system telephone, enter the virtual station number instead.

A Mobility Entry license must have been assigned in order to use the mobile
client.

If the caller' s phone number is to be visible at the mobile station (GSM), the
system parameter "outreach call number transparent" must be activated. This
function requires the "CLIP no screening" feature, which may be subject to an
additional charge, to have been released in the central office.

How to Start myPortal web for the First Time

7.2 How to Start myPortal web for the First Time


myPortal web can be started as a web-based interface via various Internet
browsers. The solution has been optimized for presentation on Apple' s iPhone,
but is basically also compatible with other mobile phones such as Symbian OS
Smartphones (e.g., the Nokia E Series). Please note, however, that this may
result in deviations to the description provided here. Due to the numerous
operating systems and web browser variants available on the market, it is not
possible to guarantee the proper functioning of myPortal web on all mobile
phones.
Prerequisites:
Step by Step:

The myPortal entry Web Services are available.

1. Enter the URL http://<Plug Computer>:8801/ or https://


<Plug Computer>:8802/ on your Smartphone and confirm your input.
<Plug Computer> stands for the DynDNS address of the Plug Computer
that was configured in the router.
2. Save the URL of the page as a favorite/bookmark for myPortal on the Start
page of the Smartphone.
INFO: Whenever you open a URL with a bookmark, a new
browser session is opened in each case. In order to use myPortal
web repeatedly, it is best to always use the same browser session
after opening the bookmarked URL for the first time.
