Note ➢ From 50000 subscribers, you need the agreement of ALE International (process PCS – Premium
Customer Support).
➢ From 100 nodes or PCS, you need the agreement of ALE International (process PCS – Premium
Customer Support).
➢ For Accounting, the maximum number of tickets is 30 million.
➢ It’s not recommended to use the local Client installed on the server. However, if for any reason this
Client is regularly used, it’s advised to increase the memory size.
➢ If you encounter slowness on the OmniVista 8770 server, it can be due to Windows Defender antivirus
scan of Windows 2016
Workaround: Configure the OmniVista 8770 folder as an exception
Note The number of simultaneous thick client connections is limited to 30, and 60 for the web client
Virtualization requirements
OmniVista 8770 has been validated in a VMware ESX® environment and Microsoft Hyper-V®.
Refer to the OmniVista 8770 R5.0 Capacity Planning tool.
The hyper-threading option should not be validated on the VM.
Note OmniVista 8770 doesn’t support two Network boards for the administration flow.
Thus, there is no possibility to dissociate the administration flow from the thick client on a network board
and OmniVista 8770 server flows with the OXE, OT, OCE nodes on a second network board.

Here are the essential points:
Hard disk.
A NTFS partition must be set for installing the DSEE Oracle LDAP Server. When installing the server, it is
better to keep the defaults directories and to change only the physical drives.
The Path environment variable giving the access path to Windows and to its dll, which will receive the access
path to OmniVista 8770 binary, must be valid.
• The Path is managed through the System icon of Windows Control Panel.
• If the Path is too long, a blocking error can occur during installation.
• The Path must not have obsolete path, ;; doubles or \\ doubles.
If there is an error message regarding the Path on installation, change its value and keep only the
access path to the operating system.
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32
\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
The name of the computer must NOT include the following characters:
«/ \ [ ] “ : ; | < > + = , ? * _ ».

4 INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE
- Help Online: To view the PDF file in the browser, it is required to have the PDF reader add-on.
- The firewall may generate messages asking for allowing communication for Java.exe and bin_ns-slapd.exe
programs. You must validate these requests.
- It is mandatory to manage a fix IP address (and not a DHCP one) and the default gateway before starting
the server installation.
- The server name cannot contain the following characters: «/\[]":;|<>+=,?* _ ». If it is the case, the server
installation would fail.
- It is not allowed to modify the default HTTP (80) and HTTPS ports (443) because they are required by SIP
device management. The port 443 is also used for Apache.
Warning During the installation, OmniVista 8770 checks the KB3021910 and KB2919355 are well installed. Otherwise
a popup will indicate that the hotfix requirements are not installed.
Do not continue: press “Ok” and “No” in the subsequent popup. Then install the KB listed above.

About upgrade details from 5.0.22.00.a or 5.0.23.00.a to 5.0.24.00, please refer to the Annex A
Warning Make sure that no client in local has opened a session otherwise there is a risk of database corruption.
Warning The server upgrade from 2.5 release brings a modification for the VOIP quality supervision application. The
Performance application based on a VitalSuite module has been removed. It has been replaced by a simpler
and more integrated module. Reports and data from the previous application will no more be available
after the upgrade to R4.0. The data must be processed before the upgrade.
The upgrade to OmniVista 8770 R5.0 is available from version 4.0.08 (version 11 in the license). It is mandatory
to update the server in the latest maintenance release before upgrading.
The upgrade provides upgrade of the OmniVista 8770 database in new version, including scheduled tasks,
administrators accounts, etc.
Instead of upgrading, it is always possible to reinstall the server: reinstallation allows restarting with new
data, while importing archived accounting tickets and custom report definitions.
For OmniVista 8770 servers with a version < 2.0 (version < 7 in the license), the recommendation is to do a
new installation. Direct upgrade is not available, it is necessary to upgrade following the migration paths
below:

As of release 100.1 (n2), OXE Purple can work in a subscription mode (also called Purple on Demand, OPEX).
OXE interacts with the LMS (License Management Server located in the Cloud) to get the authorizations.
The OXE is also connected to the Cloud via the CCO agent for FTR (First Time Registration) and RTR (Right
To Run).
OmniVista 8770 is an option in the Purple subscription offer. There is no direct link between OmniVista 8770
and the LMS. All the checks are requested by the OXEs taking part of the subscription:
- Authorization to manage OXEs by OmniVista 8770
- Authorization to create users
A Purple on Demand subscription is made from MyPortal: the global number of users and the OmniVista 8770
option are defined in the subscription.
If the OmniVista 8770 option is subscribed, MyPortal requests eLP to generate one or more OmniVista 8770
OPEX licenses (full features, limited to 50,000 users), depending on the number of users in the subscription.
The OmniVista 8770 license contains 2 new items:
• SubscriptionMode = 0 / 1: 0 means CAPEX, 1 means OPEX

Security enhancements
For security reasons, the port 80 (http) is more and more replaced by the port 8443 (https) for all applications.
The application concerned: Alarm, topology, help online, server file chooser and scheduler logs.
As a result, when the administrator launches the Topology/Alarm application, there is a pop-up with a security
alart. If administrators must accept the security alert pop up to open the application. When you close and
launch the OmniVista 8770, this alert will occur once.
To avoid definitively this pop-up, the administrators can import manually the CA certificate from 8770 into the
trusted store of browsers. This is the auto signed certificate.
Manage My Phone has its own http server and will switch to https on port 15443.
The purpose of this feature is to offer new improvements and adaptation to help administrator monitor OXE
performance.

12 MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION & RESTRICTIONS
Note
All the “CR8770-…” ref. mentioned below are internal anomaly reports references. Check with Technical
Support on which version/patch it is fixed or if correction is important for you.
In this chapter, you will find miscellaneous information about applications, components that could be
useful, plus some restrictions.
12.1 RTUM
The Russian Government has changed the Time zone from utc+3.00 to utc+4.00. For this reason, a delay of
one hour in RTUM counter calculation can be experienced. To solve the issue, Microsoft has recommended
the patch Windows8.1-KB3162835-x64 to be installed to bring back the time zone in utc+3.00. After, the
RTUM counter calculation will be OK.
Restrictions:
➢ CR8770-13026 5.1.11c\No 31000 Internal Alarm raised When RTU metering calculation job failed
➢ CR8770-13030 5.1.11c\No 31000 Internal Alarm raised No 31000 Alarm raised - when OXE mao is off & the
synchronization between OmniVista 8770 and node failed
➢ When DM on OXE feature is enabled, limited attributes are shown for associated sets from the Users
application
➢ Older OT meta profiles (created for OT16) are made inactive when OmniVista 8770 server is upgraded to
8770 R5.0
➢ During user creation with Meta profile, additional attributes are made editable from R4.1.
➢ To create OmniPCX Enterprise/ OpenTouch Connection users based on profiles, OmniPCX Enterprise/
OpenTouch synchronization needs to be performed first, to get the OE/OT profiles in Users Application.
➢ Option ‘Export for Rainbow’ is introduced in contextual menu at root and department level, and new
preference rule in preferences menu is introduced to support mass provisioning of Rainbow users.
Refer help document for Loginmail syntax in Rainbow preference rules.
Ex: [email protected]
➢ A mandatory attribute “OXE Profile Name” has been added for OpenTouch Connection User creation in
the Users Application. This attribute is populated by selecting an entry from a drop down menu. In order
for the drop-down list to be populated, the profile(s) need to be created in the OXE associated with Site
being used for OpenTouch Connection user creation, and then synchronized.

© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 42/70
➢ Admin creates a metaprofile for connection users with a free number range. This free number range is
previously created in OXE configuration:
Max. number parameter is very sensitive: it limits the number of first free directory numbers returned
by OmniPCX Enterprise when a consultation is requested. If the administrator sets a very high value
by mistake or by thinking that this is the range size (possible misunderstanding), the consultation time
increases a lot.
Example: the time to get the first 3000 free number range is about 3-4 seconds.
The problem is that such consultation is done during the creation of a connection user via a
metaprofile. Several seconds can be wasted because of a too high Max.number parameter.
Workaround: the recommendation is to set 10 or even less. In such case, the consultation of free directory
numbers is immediate, and the user creation is therefore optimized.
➢ ALE SoftPhone:
OmniVista 8770 - Release 5.1 - Installation Procedure for version 5.1.16.01.a TC 3064 ed. 02
© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 43/70
• The ALE Softphone can only be associated to a secondary SIP Extension of an OXE user. ALES cannot
be associated to a main set.

Restrictions:
➢ Memory limit is exceeded with OXE user search for more than 1000 users. Refer to CR8770-6607
➢ “X89 40 keys AOMV” system option has incidence on the ALE Essential/Enterprise phone sets. This
behavior observed with OXE N1.280.5 is not correct. This will be fixed in a future OXE N1 release.
Refer to CR8770-11642
➢ For ALE DeskPhones number of virtual keys and special keys are not finalized in OXE Purple R100.
➢ 'SIPVOIPTicketcollector' value:
With 'Dm on 8770', in the associated Device
If Voip Ticket is enabled, then following would be setting in config file generated by 8770
<setting override="true" value="true" id="SIPVoIPTicketsCollector"/>
If voip ticket is disabled, then following would be setting in config file generated by 8770
<setting override="true" id="SIPVoIPTicketsCollector" define="default"/>
➢ Even if 'sip translator fqdn' value is filled and available in OXE and in Native encryption settings, in
the OmniVista 8770 DM device config file this value is never used.
➢ EGW IP address of CS1 and EGW IP address of CS2 are filled for Server1 and Server2 SIP address in
configuration file.
➢ Special keys F1, F2, F3 and F4 are not available for IP DeskPhone Pleiades 86x8 as the special keys
are not available from OXE side ( Ref:CR8770-12210)
➢ Configuration of remote settings feature is now enhanced for 8008, 8018 and 8028s devices along with
8001 devices. Test scenarios are executed with simulated reverse proxy.

12.4 Device Management on OmniPCX Enterprise
Verify default OXE system option 'DM management in 8770' after OXE is upgraded to OXE R100 Purple from M5
or older releases. Following OXE upgrade, if default option is false, then if OmniVista 8770 is upgraded to
R5.0, during daily job synchronization, migration of DM to OXE will happen, and all non-supported '8770 DM'
devices will be removed along with profiles declared in OmniVista 8770 and binary packages
Though not recommended, support for migration of DM from OmniVista 8770 to OXE is possible.
All '8770 DM' devices are deleted and All 'OXE DM' devices are replaced with a limited schema and configuration
files are removed.
Restriction:
➢ Following the DM migration to OXE, '8770 DM' device 8012 deskphone (which were created when 8770
was DM Master) IS NOT REMOVED. other '8770 DM' device like 8001 and 8002 are removed.
Following DM migration to OXE, 8012 device seems to be seen like a 'OXE DM device' and shown with
'OXE DM' device schema.
Device Profile name still shows the '8012 Telnet enable' which was created when 8770 was DM.
Note: In the 'parameters tab' all the '8770 DM' profiles are REMOVED following migration to OXE DM.
config file location in 8770 - 8012 device config file NOT REMOVED and 8082 device xml.
Warning
Revert to OmniVista 8770 DM management is not possible. An OmniVista 8770 backup is advised before
activating this feature.
To secure and to avoid the removal of all configuration files on OmniVista 8770 DM side due to disabling this
parameter by mistake, OmniVista 8770 R5.0 MD1 introduces a security with an additional “Device Management
in OmniVista 8770” parameter on OmniVista 8770 side.
Starting since OXE N1 and 8770 5.0, possible to enable SIP terminals to publish the SIP Tickets. With DM on
8770, This option could be enabled in 8770 using device profiles / devices menu directly.
General info: New hourly polling job is introduced since 5.0.23 package to poll hourly VOIP data from OXE N1
node. This Job is in disable state by default.
Restriction:
➢ SIP VoIP Ticket collector Enable was not possible through the OmniVista 8770 DM \ Parameters\
profiles.

12.5 OpenTouch Configuration
General Information:
➢ ACU_OPENTOUCH user’s creation is forbidden in OpenTouch, but the create option is still available
from OT configuration (as OT 18 data models are still supporting create operation). So, the creation
fails with valid error message.
➢ The OpenTouch node number entered during the OpenTouch declaration should be a numeric value.
Otherwise the topology synchronization with the Performance application fails.
➢ During user creation, the TUI password should not be trivial for security reason. It should not be cyclic,
a repetition, increasing or decreasing.
services -> Security -> Password Management -> Allow trivial TUI, checks this attribute to allow
trivial values to be used for TUI password. Uncheck this attribute doesn’t permit using trivial value
for TUI password.
➢ For OTVM- Automatic creation of persons in directory is applicable only for OmniPCX Enterprise with
OTVM users.
➢ The connect operation of OpenTouch from OmniVista 8770 will not work with the root user and
password. The maintenance credentials should be used for login.
➢ A new tab ‘feature’ is available for OT nodes which have the version greater than OT R 2.1. Tree
will be segregated according to Tasks.
➢ New mass provisioning rules are implemented, to make ease of export/import operations.
Improvements include:
➢ After declaration of the OmniPCX Enterprise node, the OmniPCX Enterprise Complete Global
synchronization will not synchronize associated to an OpenTouch node. The OpenTouch node should
be synchronized first.
OmniVista 8770 - Release 5.1 - Installation Procedure for version 5.1.16.01.a TC 3064 ed. 02
© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 47/70
➢ TUI voice mail should be declared in both OmniPCX Enterprise and OpenTouch for successful complete
global synchronization.
Restriction:
➢ The polling fails on one OXE when 2 OXEs are configured in SNMP V3. Refer to CR8770-12074.
➢ The SNMP polling is not fully compatible with OXE configured in spatial redundancy: the polling is not
happening when the CS having the role main IP address declared in the first position in the "IP address"
attribute (in the OXE node parameters) is the standby CPU. Refer to CR8770-12080
12.8 Audit
➢ After enabling the Global flag for audit process, the OmniVista 8770 client needs to be restarted to get
the information of OmniVista 8770 login/logout
➢ Audit detailed system records will not be displayed in OmniVista 8770 with OmniPCX Enterprise releases
≥ M1
Refer to CR8770-6606: 8770 R3.2.08.04: Audit system details are not available in audit application for
OmniPCX Enterprise>=OXE 12.
Restriction:
From the OXE release R12 (M1.403), detailed information about “LOGIN” action are not available
Option “more detail” = no, must be selected
Reason: In the OXE release R12, a new package has been deployed (due to a vulnerability issue) on OXE.
This new package does not update the “auth.log” file with the PPID.
So, the detailed information presents in the “shell.log” file cannot be displayed anymore

12.9 Alarms/topology
Restrictions:
- OpenTouch Alarms will not be received if two OpenTouch servers have the same username but different
parameters (like encryption password, passphrase, etc..). To receive the OpenTouch alarms from all the
declared OpenTouch nodes, there are two possible configurations:
• 1st option: use the same SNMP v3 username and the same associated parameters (security level,
user password, passphrase, …) for all the OpenTouch nodes
• 2nd option: use a different SNMP v3 username for each OpenTouch node
- Topology: Dashed Line style between two network elements will be supported with IE version 11 and
above.
- From 8770 R5.1, the server uses the 8443 port with https for the Alarms/Topology application.
As a result, « In the thick client, when opening the Alarms or Topology module for the first time, there
is a Security alert pop-up. This is the normal behavior with an autogenerated OmniVista 8770 server
certificate (case of the default installation) or an OmniVista 8770 server certificate signed by a private
CA not known to Windows. In this case, they must accept the security alert pop up.
This pop-up will disappear by importing the root certificate in the Windows trust store (Internet
options) of the client machine. If a custom certificate signed by a public certification authority known
to Windows has been installed, the message will not appear, because the root certificate of this
certification authority is already in the Windows trust store.
- The 8770 thick client is running over a Windows OS where internet options support TLS up to TLSv1.2
only,
TLSv1.3 cannot be enabled for https (port 8443) in ToolsOmniVista (the best possible TLS version is
TLSv1.2).
If ever TLSv1.3 is enabled in ToolsOmniVista,
there will be an error when starting the Topology app and the only way to solve that issue is to
revert to TLSv1.2 in ToolsOmniVista
(or update the client OS to an OS supporting TLSv1.3 or install some Windows updates).

The requirement is driven by the capability of the UA/NOE devices to display non ASCII characters, and the
OmniPCX Enterprise management restrictions where the OXE User attributes vary from Directory name and
firstname to UTF8 name and firstname depending on the character set used for the name/firstname.
In OmniVista 8770 and OpenTouch, priority is given to UTF8 names, meaning UTF8 names are used preferably
in all Directory-based applications.

Restrictions
- After the upgrade of OmniVista 8770 R5.0 version, the ManageMyPhone application is sometimes shown
as “disabled”.
Workaround: By closing the “Zulu platform application” in Windows task manager, the services will be
triggered to start mode and service will be up.
Though migrating the DM back from OXE to OmniVista 8770 is not recommended, if the administrator
wishes to roll back, below steps can be helpful.
• Initial condition: Device management is on OXE side. And OmniVista 8770 device application
shows only 'OXE DM' entries with restricted schema.
• In OXE: : mgr\System\Other System Param\System parameters \'Device Management In 8770’
– Enable Boolean
• From OmniVista 8770 configuration application, perform complete synchronization of OXE
node. This step ensures rolling back device management to OmniVista 8770.
• From the exported backup file’s copy, remove the OTCPC entry line items, for the rest of the
devices, set the action to Delete.
• From Device management application, import this backup file. (This step will perform clean
up activity for the existing OmniVista 8770 device data for 80x8s devices, and ignore any
specific errors related to OTCPC in scheduler logs)

© Copyright 2023 ALE International, ALE USA page 60/70
• From the exported backup file’s copy, set the action to Add for all entries and reimport from
device application. Verify all the Devices are imported successfully and could be seen in the
device application.
• Perform the OXE global synchronization to regenerate the configuration files in OmniVista
8770.
• Note: ALES Desktop, ALES Mobile and Other SIP Extensions with OXE supported device types
(80x8s, ALE-2) devices which are directly created in OXE node will be still shown in devices
application with limited schema. If the administrator tries deleting such devices from the
OXE Device management application, Set’s subtype will be changed to Default in SIP
parameters in OXE (device type will be lost and it is not recommended.)
Note ALES Desktop and ALES Mobile devices export is not possible from OmniVista 8770 device management, as
these devices are managed by OXE DM.
Restriction:
CR8770-12425: DM on OXE, config files are still present in 8770
➢ OXE Purple offer-LMS - OPEX OXE - LMS error & restrictions (recovery period etc, alarms) are still in
