User Belongs to Specify the email server type or application for which the DirSync process is done.

  • HP Open Mail
  • Host

  • Internet

Time Zone Select the time zone of the user. The timestamp displayed in the user folders like inbox and outbox depends on the time zone selected. Irrespective of the system time, the timestamp displayed in the messages is automatically converted to the time zone set in the user profile.

To set the time zone, make sure the following settings are configured:

  • TCOSS: The registry value of HKLM\Software\Topcall\TCOSS\TimeBase must be set to UTC and the Atz99 system file must be available on the TCOSS server.

  • Client: The registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\TOPCALL\KCSPortal\TCSI\ AutoTimeZone must be set to 1 to convert the timestamp to the time zone selected.

Time zone conversion

The timestamp is automatically converted only when the registry "AutoTimeZone" is set to 1. If the automatic conversion of the timestamp is disabled and if the TCOSS server operates in UTC, then the timestamp is displayed in UTC in Tungsten Communication Server Portal.

For users with no time zone defined, the time stamp is not converted, and the default system time zone is used. If the system time zone is not set, the UTC is used.

It is not recommended to set the time zone of a user profile to the TCOSS time zone or to one of the military time zones (time zone A - time zone Z). If a user profile has one of these time zones set, then the automatic conversion of time stamps is done without daylight savings.

VRS Profile Specify the VRS (VirtualReScan) profile name to use for document conversion.
You can modify the VRS profile only when the user belongs to MFPConnect.

Refer to the MFPConnect Administration Guide.

Visible in outbox Select this option for a gateway user.

MediaType and Application Name fields appear.

MediaType Select the media type that matches the connected mail system or medium.

If Visible in outbox is set for a user, select the Invalid media type. This media type ensures that the user profile information is imported into the OmniAnalyser database.

The “Invalid” media type is only used internally. It does not appear in reports.

Application Name A descriptive name for the application.

You can use the same application name for all queues polled by an instance. If there are several parallel instances, such as, for a link, all instances can share the same application name.

The maximum length for an application name is 256 characters.

Windows (LAN) login

Allows the user to login to the Tungsten Communication Server using the LAN login credentials. When using the LAN login credentials, the user’s password is not verified by Tungsten Communication Server.

Native TCS user login

Uses the Tungsten Communication Server user credentials to log in to Communication Server. The following fields are enabled when you select native login:

  • Password and Retype password: Password of the user.

    The maximum length for a password is 80 alphanumeric characters.

    • The password field can be left blank for a new user.

    • The minimum password length is set in the “+MAIL5V/App99” file. The minimum password check applies when changing the passwords.

  • Password will never expire change password at next login: Allows the newly created user to change their password when logging in to the application for the next time.

If both the Windows (LAN) login and Native TCS user login options are enabled, user can login using the Communication Server user credentials or Windows (LAN) credentials.

Lock Account Locks the account of this user.

When an account is locked for a user, the “Account is locked” information is displayed in the Lock Account field. But no system error message or event log entry is generated.

The account is also locked when a user consecutively tries to log in with a wrong password for a configured number of times.

  • The number of incorrect login attempts is set in the “+MAIL5V/App99” file.
  • The number of attempts to log in using a wrong password does not expire with session timeout.
  • Account locking is reported by a system error message (with error level 2 = warning) and an event log entry. The “account locked” flag is stored permanently in the user profile.

Once an account is locked, the administrator can unlock the account by clearing the Lock Account field or by changing the password of the user.

Cost Center The department or entity that pays for a user’s outgoing faxes and other transmission fees.
If authorized, user can modify their cost center.
Dirsync allowed TC/LINK automatically modifies the User ID as per the changes in the mail client’s user profile.
Reject all messages All incoming messages are rejected. The handling of messages is the same as with negative termination, non-delivery notifications and archive entries are generated as requested.
Logging of all send attempts TCOSS logs all message sent attempts in the short-term archive. For example, for a fax line, all the scenarios where a distant subscriber was busy or not reachable are logged in the short-term archive.
Number Locking Restricts concurrent access to identical telephone numbers for VoiceLink2 users. This feature is similar to the basic number locking feature of fax channels.

If activated for a VoiceLink2 queue user, the locking covers all send orders within that queue and does not interfere with send orders in other queues.

Refer to the Voice Platform Technical Manual.
