Security certificates on mobile devices
Avaya IX™ Workplace Client requires security certificates to establish connections with various
servers. If you are using a certificate signed by one of the major certificate authorities such as
Verisign, you do not need to install anything. The built-in system certificates are enough. However,
the administrator must include the certificate in the private trust store.
The administrator might provide a web address, send you an email, or provide the certificate using
other mechanisms. Install the certificates on your device using the procedure specified by your
device manufacturer.
Note:
If you manually install the certificates, you must enable a screen lock on your device so that
the device has a minimal level of security.
If you are using Avaya IX™ Workplace Client on Avaya Vantage™, do not install any certificates
manually. The certificates are automatically installed when you provide the file server path in
Settings > Wireless & networks > > More > File Server on Avaya Vantage™.

Chapter 6:Conferencing using Avaya
Equinox® Conferencing
Avaya Equinox® Conferencing overview
Avaya Equinox® Conferencing continues the evolution of conferencing with the following features:
• Meeting participation extended to include the WebRTC participant. You do not need any plugin to participate.
• An integrated portal that detects the browser or device you are on and connects you to the
meeting. This is possible using WebRTC or the native application.
• Audio participation extended to thousands.
• Automatic cloud provisioning for room systems.
The Avaya IX™ Workplace Client accesses Avaya Equinox® Meetings Online using HTTPS, from
within the Equinox Meetings tab of the client. The Avaya IX™ Workplace Client can access local
on-premise Avaya Equinox® Conferencing in the same way using HTTPS, that is, if the access
URL is configured under Equinox Meetings. However, if the Avaya IX™ Workplace Client accesses
local on-premise Avaya Equinox® Conferencing through SIP trunks, audio and video will be
available but not sharing or conference roster. The same applies for accessing Scopia over SIP
trunks too. Even when Avaya IX™ Workplace Client accesses local on-premise IP Office Meet Me
Conferencing, audio will be available but not sharing or conference roster.
Download and installation of Avaya Equinox® Conferencing client
The Avaya Equinox® Conferencing portal detects whether you have installed Avaya IX
Workplace Client.
• If Avaya IX™ Workplace Client is installed, Avaya IX™ Workplace Client is used to join a
conference.
• If Avaya IX™ Workplace Client is not installed, the portal prompts users to use the WebRTC
browser client only on desktops. Otherwise, you must install Avaya IX™ Workplace Client to
join the conference.
• If Avaya IX™ Workplace Client is installed but not logged-in, you can join the conference
without configuring your account.

User types
You can log in using your authorized credentials or log in as guest users.
Users with authorized credentials can be of the following types:
• UC Users: These users use Avaya IX™ Workplace Client as a primary client for voice and
video calls, voice workflow features, audio conferences, and instant messaging and
presence. A UC user can be a host or guest of any conference.
• OTT Hosts: These users do not use Avaya IX™ Workplace Client as a primary client, but
need to host audio conferences and present content. These users have a virtual room and
associated features, such as content library, recording resources, minutes, and notes. In this
context, OTT means that clients join the conference using HTTP-based protocols, not SIP.
Guest users can be of the following types:
• OTT guests: These users do not use Avaya IX™ Workplace Client as a primary client, but
need to join audio conferences as a guest. They might need to present using screen sharing.
• Outbound guest: An outbound guest is a user of the Avaya UC or OTT deployment who joins
an Avaya IX™ Workplace Client conference hosted by an external party. For example, an
Avaya Equinox® Conferencing user of XYZ Corp joins an Avaya Equinox® Conferencing 9.0
conference hosted by a user at ABC Corp.
• Inbound guest: An inbound guest is a user from an external company, such as a partner,
supplier customer, or prospect who joins a conference hosted by a user of the Avaya UC or
OTT deployment.
Avaya IX™ Workplace Client for Windows supports Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) for
logging into an Avaya IX™ Workplace Client conference. If IWA is enabled, you can use your
Windows login credentials to log in to the conference.
Moderator role
Moderator role is determined automatically in the UC environment when you join from Avaya IX
Workplace Client. If you go to the conference portal first, the moderator role is determined based
on the login status of the portal.
When you join a conference, the Place participants in a ‘waiting room’ until the moderatorjoins option might be selected by default. In this case, you are assigned the participant role
automatically and placed in a waiting room state. To become a moderator, you must make a
request and enter the moderator PIN. You can then start the conference.

Chapter 8:Using Avaya Spaces
Avaya Spaces overview
Avaya Spaces is a cloud-based team collaboration and meeting application. It seamlessly
integrates voice, video, tasks, sharing, and more into your browser or the Spaces application.
You can use the Spaces area in the dashboard to start a new conversation. In fact, the first time
you start using Avaya Spaces, you can view the option to create your own Space. You can invite
participants to your Space by entering their email addresses. You can set different permissions for
each participant based on the type of actions you want them to be able to take within your Space.
If you have many Spaces, you can categorize the frequently used ones as favorites.
You can privately share documents and even escalate your chat with audio or video. The Posts
area includes all the documents and files that you or your teammates shared. You can click on any
of the posts to make comments, download the file, or attach more items, perhaps a revised
version if you are editing a document.
You can assign tasks to other members of your space. Tasks are simply things that need to get
done. You can also set due dates and post additional comments.
Avaya Spaces integrates with Avaya IX™ Workplace Client. You can use Avaya IX™ Workplace
Client :
• To exchange instant messages with other users by using Avaya Spaces Direct Messaging.

Chapter 9:Using presence and instant
messaging
Presence and instant messaging
Presence Services is an application that indicates the availability or presence of a person by
states. From the Avaya IX™ Workplace Client, you can:
• Change your presence status to one of the following five supported states: “Available”,
“Busy”, “Away”, “Offline”, and “Do Not Disturb”. The presence status that you set appears
simultaneously across supported clients.
• Change your custom presence note.
Note:
The presence note is visible and available only when the user is logged in to Avaya IX
Workplace Client.
™
Presence: Presence Services supports application and telephony presence information gathered
from IP Office and aggregates this information for each user. Presence Services then makes this
information available to Avaya IX™ Workplace Client users.
Note:
In iOS devices, the Presence status changes to Offline when Avaya IX™ Workplace Client
goes to the background or not visible state.
Application presence is the presence state for non-telephony usage, such as for instant
messaging. Telephony presence is the presence for telephony usage, such as when you are on a
call.
You need to manually set the application presence while telephony presence is set automatically.
For example, there is no “timed inactive” presence state for application presence. For telephony
presence, only the “On a Call” state is supported. The “On a Call” state is automatically set when
the client is in a call, even if a manual presence state was set. In Simultaneous mode, the “On a
Call” state is shown for all the logged-in clients.
Instant messaging: With the integration of Avaya Spaces in IP Office, you can exchange textbased instant messages with users. You can receive image, audio, video, and generic
attachments in an Instant Messaging (IM) conversation. Users with enhanced privileges can send
generic attachments and use the built-in recording feature of Avaya IX™ Workplace Client to attach
