About the Outlook Client Plug-In

Overview

The Microsoft Outlook Client Plug-in (OCP) is an application that enables Microsoft Outlook client PCs to manage NP-UM voice mails.

OCP for Microsoft Outlook

The OCP for Outlook installs the Mitel NuPoint UM tab in the ribbon of your Microsoft Outlook email client. You can use the buttons on the tab to manage your messages (reply, forward, create a new message, etc.), and to specify whether your messages should be played automatically. In addition, the OCP provides multimedia controls that enable you to manage messages while playing them on your PC speakers or phone.

The OCP can be installed in the 32- and 64-bit bit variants of Outlook 2010,  2013, and 2016.

Feature Requirements

The OCP feature requires:

User Conditions

The following user conditions must be met before users can install the OCP to have Microsoft Exchange integration with Advanced UM capability:

Note: Mailboxes to which the proper feature bits are assigned are not guaranteed licenses. Licenses are automatically allocated starting at the lowest numbered mailbox until all licenses are used. This means that there could be some higher-numbered mailboxes that have the Advanced UM feature bit but are not allocated licenses.

Configuring the Smart Host

To support the forwarding of emails to users who are not advanced UM users, when you set up the OCP you must configure the SMART Host. Emails to these users will be sent through the NuPoint UM system using SMTP forwarding.
