# Creating an Enterprise

Creating an Enterprise is the first step to provisioning MiCollab Client.

On this page, configure basic information about a company to create an Enterprise.

## To create an Enterprise

1. Configure the following Enterprise Settings.
   - Enterprise ID: (Required) Type a unique identifier for the Enterprise, for example, Phoenix. By default this field is blank. The Enterprise ID:
     - is limited to 4-32 characters in length.
     - must contain alpha-numeric characters (dashes included).
     - cannot contain spaces, vertical bars, commas, semicolons, or colons ( | , ; : ).
       Note: You cannot change this field after you create the Enterprise if PBX nodes have been defined. Once PBX nodes have been defined, this field cannot be deleted unless all PBX nodes are deleted first.
   - Description: (Required) Type a description for the Enterprise, for example, Acme Company-Phoenix Arizona. By default this field is blank. The Enterprise Description:
     - is limited to 1-128 characters in length.
     - must contain alpha-numeric characters (dashes included).
     - cannot contain vertical bars (|).
   - Enterprise domain: (Required) Type a domain for the Enterprise. The Enterprise domain does not need to be a resolvable DNS name or a registered domain name, however, it does need to follow the DNS suffix format. The Enterprise domain should be unique to the Enterprise so that peered servers do not have the same Enterprise domain. Mitel suggests using the site location or Enterprise ID as part of the Enterprise domain (for example, Phoenix.xyzcompany.com, where Phoenix is the Enterprise ID).
   - Voice mail server: (Optional) Type the IP address or the hostname of the Enterprise's NuPoint UM voice mail server, for example, phx-acme-Nupoint. If you do not have a NuPoint UM voice mail server, leave this field blank.
   - Administrator e-mail: (Optional) Type the e-mail address for the MiCollab Client Service administrator. An e-mail message is sent to this address when On-Demand presence is enforced. Maximum length for this field is 255 characters.
   - Switch type: (Required) Select the communications system (switch) that the Enterprise currently uses from the list box.

     By default, MiVoice Business is selected.

     Note: You cannot change this field after you create the Enterprise if PBX nodes have been defined. Once PBX nodes have been defined, this field cannot be deleted unless all PBX nodes are deleted first.
   - Collaboration server type: (Optional) Select a collaboration server to use with MiCollab Client . Options include:
     - None (default)
     - MiCollab MiCollab Audio, Web and Video Conferencing

       If you do not intend to use collaboration features, set this field to None (default). If you have already added and configured a collaboration server, you cannot configure the option here.

       Note: The Mitel Your Assistant Collaboration Module is no longer supported as a collaboration server type. Refer to the Collaboration tab topic for more information.
   - Language: (Required) Select a language for the Enterprise from the list. You can configure the language parameter on the Enterprise, PBX, or account level. The Enterprise language field sets the default language for all accounts on the Enterprise. The PBX language setting overrides the Enterprise setting, and the account setting overrides the PBX setting. The user's language setting determines which language the Welcome E-mail Message is generated in for that user.
   - Time zone: (Required) Select the time zone where the MiCollab Client Service is physically located from the list box. The time zone where the MiCollab Client Service is located may be different than the time zone where the Enterprise is located.
2. Click Create to create the Enterprise.

After you create the Enterprise, you are returned to the Enterprise tab where you must complete additional Enterprise-related settings.
