Installation

The installation of the software must be carried out with administrative rights. However, these rights are no longer necessary for the operation or use of the software. The installation is carried out with the help of a wizard. Start the installation by a “right-click" on the file setup.exe and select run as administrator in the main directory of the installation downloaded and previously unpacked ZIP archive.

During the installation you will be given the option to assign a password for the user "SUPERUSER". It is strongly recommended that you choose a secure password from the start.

Please read and follow the instructions of the installation wizard.

Close all applications to ensure a smooth installation process.
The installation wizard starts. It guides you through the entire installation and supports you with useful information for installing and configuring the aurenz software.
If not already available, the required Windows component vcredist_x86 will be installed.
Read the licence conditions. If you do not agree with the terms, you cannot continue with the installation.
Select the product to be installed (Trial – The test version can be used for 60 days with up to 500 extensions)

In case of a UC-Analytics/AlwinPro UC Edition or in case of a iQueue/iPro UC-Analytics for STARFACE:

In case of a AlwinPro Hotel or Care Instalation: Select type of installation:

Standard: Main installation with integrated database - suitable for most cases.
Main installation with client/server database - Faircom database server activation key required (can be purchased from your aurenz partner).
Installation on a further workstation - The main installation must be accessible via network (SMB / file share).

In case of a Swyx product:

Select if you want to install a Swyx Analytics as a trial version or as a unlimited version.

In any case:

Enter your licence keys if you don't install a trial version. Then check the licence modules in the compilation.
Select the location for the programm:
Default path of aurenz UC-Analytics: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Aurenz\UC-Analytics".
Default path of the AlwinPro UC edition: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Aurenz\AlwinPro".

Select the desired language (German/English) of the aurenz Windows applications. Attention: In the aurenz Web Suite, additional languages can be selected independently of this setting.

Select the country specific configuration of the zoning table relevant for tariffing (D / AT / none).

The next step is to define the settings needed to install the program components as Windows services. Details of the preparation can be found in creating service user accounts Anlegen von Dienste-Benutzerkonten.
Check your entries in the summary and continue with the installation.
Now files are copied and everything is prepared for the use of the software. After completion, you will see the latest release notes.
E-mail server settings:

If a special port is required for encrypted SMTP transmission, this can be configured here subsequently: Menu bar: File / Basic settings / other / E-mail server. We recommend to enable the E-mail server connection so that the specified E-mail address can be notified by various system events.

Port configuration used for running the Web Suite

Change the ports through which the Web Suite will be accessed if needed.

Set up data source (optional)

The data source represents a connection to a communication system/PBX whose data is to be processed by the aurenz software.

Select "Configure now" if you want to create and configure a data source instance that is handling the connection to a PBX and that is receiving the CDRs from it. Please refer to the Connection Description documents of the used PBX to read about details how to configure these data sources: aurenz Wiki.

Data sources can be configured also later in the data collector program.

Protect the superuser account with a password

Create standard user (optional)

The user that is created here will have limited access to administration options but will have full access to all report and statistic possibilities.

After completing the installation: The programes uca.exe and datenaufnahme.exe require access to the network. The Windows operating system will ask for access permission for these programes if the firewall is active.

First steps

The setup and basic configuration is done via the Windows application UC-Analytics or AlwinPro UC. The data collector window is opened by double-clicking on the "data collector" symbol in the lower right area of the Windows task bar.

You can access the Web Suite via the following URLs:

http://<host of the UC edition>:8081

https://<host of the UC edition>:8443

The TCP ports of the Web Suite (by default TCP 8081 for HTTP and TCP 8443 for SSL/HTTPS) can be changed during installation or later in the basic settings of the UC-Analytics admin tool if required.

For more details on configuration, see Basic Configuration.

What to consider before receiving the call data for the first time

Take time to configure the UC-Analytics according to the requirements. If you want to carry out the configuration based on existing call data in order to be able to illustrate the differences between the configuration variants, you must add the already collected data, before you collect the data from the communication system for the first time.
