ECS Quick
Configuration Guide

Product Overview
The eSpace Unified Communications (UC) solution provides basic IP telephony (IPT) services and value-added
Enhanced Communication Suite (ECS) services. To implement the IPT services, an enterprise needs to deploy only
the unified gateway and IP phones. To implement ECS services such as instant messaging (IM), group, status
presence, multimedia meeting, and corporate directory, an enterprise must deploy the ECS and UC soft terminals in
addition to the unified gateway and IP phones. The ECS suite consists of the eServer, mobile access agent (MAA),
and Meeting MS. UC soft terminals include the eSpace Desktop and eSpace Mobile (HD).
Component Description
Provides the user registration, call routing, call
Unified gateway control, and media control functions.
Business Provides basic service management capabilities,
management unit including number management, service enablement,
(BMU) data synchronization, and call record query.
Provides the corporate directory capabilities and
AppAgent opens up interfaces to integrate with third-party
systems or perform custom development.
Provides the registration, authentication, IM, status
eServer presence, and group functions for the eSpace
Desktop.
MAA Provides access for the eSpace Mobile.
ECS
Provides the multimedia meeting functions and
Meeting MS supports video meetings and content sharing.
Document Overview
This topic describes how to quickly implement ECS services such as IM, group, status presence,
multimedia meeting, and corporate directory in the single-node networking scenario, including data
planning, configuration, and verification operations. Before performing the operations described
in this document, ensure that you have configured the unified gateway, IP phones, and
trunks by referring to the eSpace UC V200R003 IPT Quick Configuration Guide.
During the configuration, you may need to consult the following documents:

This network applies to an enterprise with less than 10,000 users and no branches. On this network, the unified
gateway and service server are deployed in the enterprise headquarters.
The service server is an RH2285 on which the BMU, AppAgent, eServer, MAA, Meeting MS and UMServer are
co-deployed.
Functioning as an IP private branch exchange (PBX), the unified gateway provides the call control functions and
connects to the PSTN through a trunk to implement voice communication between enterprise users and between
enterprise users and PSTN users.
IP phones are registered with the unified gateway, and initiate authentication requests to the unified gateway.
The eSpace Desktop initiates authentication requests to the eServer during login.
The eSpace Mobile (HD) initiates authentication requests to the eServer through the MAA and AppAgent during
login.
The eSpace Desktop and eSpace Mobile (HD) are registered with the unified gateway for making voice calls.
