CHAPTER 1. lNTRODUCTION
System Manager's Role
The System Manager is responsible for the following:
● Adding, changing, removing, and monitoring the system and voice terminal features on a
day-to-day basis
● Performing system backup procedures
● Monitoring system performance
-
● Maintaining system security
Initialization
After the system is installed and initialized, the System Manager can administer the system using
the system administration terminal.
Once completed and duplicated, all forms from the Implementation manual should be sorted into
groups. For example, all voice terminal, hunt group, and trunk group forms should be in separate
groups. A copy of the Port Assignment Record should be available to keep track of the items
being installed in the system. These records can be used as a permanent record to show how
the system was initially set up. These records can be replaced as system and voice terminal
features are added or removed.
Ongoing Administration
Ongoing administration is the process of using system commands to perform a variety of func-
tions to meet business requirements. These functions include: add, change, display, set time,
list, duplicate, perform system
measurements, perform security and alarms, configure, monitor
system performance, and remove system and/or voice terminal features.
Record Keeping
Record keeping plays a vital role in system administration. Records provide a current status of
what hardware and which features have been installed.
The Port Assignment Record provides a record of how a system is initialized and administered.
Ports are the physical location on a circuit pack where terminals, trunks, or system adjuncts are
connected. Once port numbers are assigned, they become the “address” of the associated
equipment or facility in the system. It is
necessary that a record be made and kept of port
assignments for system installation/initialization and ongoing administration.
A work request form or worksheet should be used to keep track of people who requested the
features and the features they desired.
Follow your company policy concerning keeping records. The applicable Implementation manual
provides the system-related screen forms.
