®
or Network eManager unifies Strata CIX and
Stratagy ES System Administration
eManager, Toshiba’s system administration tool, unifies the programming of both the Strata CIX
telephony features and the Stratagy ES Voice Processing features of the system.
• eManager combines administration and management of the two previously separate
applications, telephone system and voice mail into combined menus, allowing technicians and
system administrators to program both together, and eliminate many duplicate steps.
• Some new wizards are added to support setup on integrated screens.
• New User Profile is designed to record equipment, user privileges, and authenticate the users
during login. The User Profile allows organizing the equipment into domain groups of
networked systems and presenting them in a tree. The user can select on the tree which
equipment they want to access for administration.
eManager is a Web browser-based application that resides on the Strata Media Application Server.
The eManager application can also be loaded on a separate server connected to the CIX network if
the customer prefers.
eManager can be accessed locally over the LAN or, with proper network security, remotely over
the Internet, and because it is used from the user’s Web browser, no special software is required to
be loaded on the user’s client PC. The Web browser must be Windows Internet Explorer 6.0 or
above. (Note: At this time eManager does not support other Web browsers).
Network eManager
The Network eManager application reduces the time required to manage multiple Strata CIX
equipment sites. While eManager can manage one CIX system during one administration session,
Network eManager can manage a group of CIX systems in a single session. The possible situations
when an administrator may need to configure multiple CIX systems as a group include:
• Multiple CIX systems in a Strata NET configuration.
• Setting up several CIX systems, at different sites, through the dealership LAN at the same time.
• Several sites, at different geographical locations, each with its own CIX, all managed centrally
over a WAN.
The following are the benefits of using Network eManager over eManager:
To manage multiple CIX sites, the eManager user has to switch between CIX system sites by
navigating back to a connection page. This closes the currently open pages, disconnects from the
CIX system, and cleans all data collected from the eManager application. Once back on the
connection page, the user selects the next single CIX and begins managing that system.
With Network eManager, the user selects an Equipment Group from a tree view. An Equipment
Group can include any number of CIX systems and associated Stratagy Enterprise Servers (SES).
Once an Equipment Group is selected, the user can connect to all members in the selected group.
After a successful connection, Network eManager navigates to a menu with all of the member CIX
systems of the connected Equipment Group available as destinations. The user can manage all
member CIX systems of the selected Equipment Group without navigating back to the selection
page. Compared to eManager, the features in Network eManager provide the following ways for
managing multiple CIX systems more efficiently:
