Chapter 5 UCA Client Application on the CA50

UCA Client Application Overview

The UCA client application which resides and runs on the CA50 is the ONLY interface from the CA50 to the UCA
server. The UCA client application is an integral part of the CA50 solution and provides all the following
functionality on the CA50:
•
Interface for Communication between the CA50 and the UCA Server
•
Walkie-Talkie Functionality
•
Voice Call Functionality
•
Web Browser for running Business Applications
•
Employee Identity Validation
• Scanning employee login bar code
• Entering employee unique PIN
The UCA client application which resides and runs on the CA50 generates the user interface displayed on the
device and is the sole means for end users to access the CA50 device functionality, such as business applications,
messages/pages and Voice-over-IP functionality. Out-of-box, the UCA client application supports voice
communication (both voice --unicast-- calls and walkie-talkie communication) and arbitrates voice and business
application priorities.
The UCA client application, shipped from the factory, is the only application that can run on the CA50. Third party
applications cannot be loaded directly onto the CA50. Instead, the UCA client application allows a user access to
server based third party business applications via an HTTP 1.1 compliant Web browser. A user can interact with
the business application via the CA Menu option which accesses the Web browser. Business applications can be
hosted on the UCA server or other addressable Web servers in the enterprise.
The CA50 client server architecture is designed to allow the UCA server to control the client behavior on the device
without requiring each CA50 keystroke to send a packet to the UCA server. When a CA50 user logs into the UCA
server, it provides all the information needed to configure the UCA client application and all peripheral components
that reside on the device. The UCA client application also receives static menus that include the walkie-talkie
channel options, user preference selection options, etc. For details, see
When the phone book is previously viewed from the CA50, any portion of the static phone book viewed from the
CA50, and only this portion of the phone book, is cached on the CA50. If the UCA server is temporarily not
accessible, the CA50 can access the cached phone book information.
