Update server

estos UCServer provides an automatic Update service, as well as central Software distribution. Both services need the update server. The update server provides its services via the CTI client port.

The update server is the counterpart to Update service on the PCs. The installation packages are provided in the installation list under "ClientInstall" for the update and installation service.

When you install the estos UCServer the current client is copied to the ClientInstall directory. If a new client is to be distributed, the msi package must be copied to the folder. The directory is monitored by the server for changes, which means you do not have to restart the server if you want to provide new installation packages. Just copy the packages into the directory, they will be detected and offered automatically.

In the administrator you can see the settings for the update server and the available installation packages. The most important settings:

• Limit availability by time
  If you wish to limit the installation of updates by time you can define a time frame here in which update services receive installation packages from the server.
• Behavior with active media connections
  During an update, all active softphone, audio and video calls as well as screen shares are terminated. Define whether a client should be updated immediately or only when there is no longer an active call.
• Available packages for the update server:
  List of the installable update packages present on the server.

If you deactivate the update server you cannot use central software distribution.
