How to use MCD Application Connection Licenses? 1

[V3RTechNP]

Hi everyone!

Latest MAS release + MCD 5.0.

It's our first MAS/NP installation but we installed successfully many other standalone NPs before. The traditional way to setup NP VM ports on 3300 was to take IP User licenses for each port as 5020/5240 IP set.
Per example, if we had 9 NP VM ports and 52 users, we would have 61 IP User licenses on AMC and 61 IP User licenses in "License & Option Selection form" on 3300.

However, with the MAS, we have those MCD Application Connection Licenses that are applied to the 3300.
Mitel sent us 52 IP User licenses and 9 MCD ACLs and they all show as 61 IP Users in "License & Option Selection form" on 3300.
We already provisioned our 52 IP phones taking up the first 52 IP user licenses but if we try to create a new IP phone for NP VM ports, the system says that we already reached our limit of IP user licenses.

Are those MCD ACLs useful for something in a MCD<->NP integration? I saw on a previous thread someone asking a similar question and someone answered that it could be used for VM ports... but how?

Time to read the manual me thinks.

You do not program up as sets anymore.

Only for MAS or for NP as well?
My colleague is currently doing his course on MAS and they say to configure ports as 5020/5240 sets. I looked up the MAS/NP integration documentation on MOL and it says the same thing. We can see the same on standalone NP doc as well.

Could this be the answer:
Trusted Application Support
NuPoint UM is supported as a trusted application when deployed on MAS and MCD Release 5.0 SP1 and later platforms. Trusted applications do not require MCD IP user licenses to register and provide services to the MCD platform. Instead, the application validates itself to the MCD as a trusted application. This reduces the need to include MCD user licenses in the MAS base packs and NuPoint UM mailbox uplift licenses, although some licenses are still required for MAS NuPoint UM deployments on pre MAS 4.0 or pre MCD 5.0 SP1 systems. In order to be trusted, the voice mail port directory numbers (DNs) must be assigned with a "Trusted Service" level on the MCD platform:

- To configure existing systems with trusted NuPoint UM services, you must assign the "Trusted Service" level to the voice mail port DNs in the User and Device Configuration form of the MCD System Administration Tool and then restart the NuPoint UM application to re-register the application ports.


Note: NuPoint UM stand alone or virtual NuPoint UM does not currently support trusted applications. Trusted applications support for MAS NuPoint UM is not supported with MCD 5.0

Although I have not yet done so myself, I remember reading that the ports now get programmed as Application Ports.

I believe the connection port licenses are just marketing speak for user licenses. There is nothing with that name in the MCD 5.

Trusted ports is the way to go as they then don't need an IP user license.

I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.

Thanks guys.
I just tried creating a Trusted 5240 IP and it went through even with all IP user licenses consumed already. We'll try connecting our MAS/NP this way.
